TECTONIC GOLD PLC
("Tectonic Gold" or the "Company")
Unaudited Interim Results to 31 December 2020
MANAGING DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholder,
During the half year to December 2020, the Company focused on the development
of its Australian gold portfolio. This followed a successful sell down of the
South African diamond and heavy minerals project in June 2020 and the
re-opening of the Queensland state borders after COVID-19 related lockdowns.
£402,800 was raised in early September 2020 to conduct a follow-up drilling
program to extend copper and gold discoveries at the Specimen Hill project and
to put a small initial drill sampling program into the Mount Cassidy project.
Assays from the drilling confirmed success with copper and gold mineralisation
intersected in every hole, proving once again the Company's Intrusive Related
Gold System exploration methodology.
Mapping at Specimen Hill has identified a copper and gold deposit with world
class potential having a strike of over four kilometres. Widely spaced drilling
over an initial 800m showed continuity of the mineralisation mapped at surface
down to 100m depth. Gold grades ranged from 2g/t Au to over 15g/t gold and
copper grades up to +1% Cu were returned.
On the back of this successful start to the program, warrants issued alongside
the September 2020 capital raise were called. This had an excellent response
from warrant holders who committed to exercise over 70 million 0.7p warrants
generating more than £500,000 in additional capital for the campaign.
The focus of the program is to both infill and extend the initial 800m length
of strike that has been drill tested, with a particular focus on the "Southern
Copper" discovery. Deeper drilling has now been planned, to enlarge the tested
envelope, which remains open at depth below the current drill testing. Drill
density will also be revisited to ensure robust inputs for resource modelling.
Independent experts and one of Australia's leading geological consulting
groups, Geos Mining, was retained to provide initiall modelling input.
At the time of writing, the Company has a large batch of drill samples from
Specimen Hill being assayed. These have already been through pre-screening,
which produced over 500 samples testing positive for copper. This is of
particular importance as we prepare to revisit discussions with some of our
neighbours such as Rio Tinto, Newcrest and others that have become increasingly
active in our neighbourhood after COVID-19 made it difficult to work their
international portfolios, especially in South America and South East Asia which
are traditional copper and gold mining areas.
It should be noted that our diamond and heavy minerals joint venture partner,
AIM listed Kazera Global PLC, has brought the South African diamond project
into profitable operation and recently announced successful project financing
of their own. Their share price is up over 200% from our entry price and our
non-diluting 10% holding in the diamond project is performing well.
The last half has been very rewarding, with Tectonic's share price rebounding
to the Specimen HIll progress and recently trading up over 900% since the
September capital raise. During a trading window earlier in the month I was
finally allowed to purchase additional shares for my own account and support
the register alongside the efforts of our warrant holders. It always gives me
encouragement to announce that none of our directors or officers have ever sold
a share and we remain fully committed to the ongoing success of our Company
alongside all our shareholders.
RESULTS AND COMPARITIVE INFORMATION
The Group incurred a loss after tax for the reporting period of £60,084 (31 Dec
2019: £23,569 (profit).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Tectonic Gold Plc is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the
Companies Act 2006. The consolidated entity (the "Group") consists of Tectonic
Gold Plc (the "Company") and the entities it controlled at the end of, or
during, the six months ended 31 December 2020. The principal activity of the
Group during the financial period was mineral exploration.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("the interim
financial statements") of the Group are for the six months ended 31 December
2020 and are presented in Sterling which is the Company's presentational
currency. These interim financial statements have not been reviewed or audited.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
recognition and measurement principles of IFRS as adopted by the European Union
(EU) and on the same basis and using the same accounting policies as applied in
the Company's 2019 Annual Report and statutory accounts for the year ended 30
June 2020.
The statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2020 have been filed with the
Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 2006.
The interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
under the historical cost convention. The Directors believe that the going
concern basis is appropriate for the preparation of these interim financial
statements as the Company is in a position to meet all its liabilities as they
fall due.
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2020 were
approved by the Board on 31 March 2020.
3. DIVID
The Board is not recommending the payment of an interim dividend for the period
ended 31 December 2020.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The basic earnings per share is based on the profit/(loss) for the year divided
by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the reporting period.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the reporting period assumes
that all shares have been included in the computation based on the weighted
average number of days since issue.
