                      DRilling UPDATE and RESEARCH REPORT 
 
Tectonic Gold plc (TDIM: TTAU) the Intrusive Related Gold System ("IRGS") 
explorer, is pleased to announce that drilling at the Specimen Hill project has 
recommenced. Following preparations to mobilise the drilling team in August 
2021, the Company delayed the rig to host on site due diligence and a joint 
testing program with a major international metals company. Portable XRF (PXRF) 
analysis was conducted over several target areas to test copper mineralisation 
and high-grade samples were sent for laboratory verification to confirm 
in-field testing grades. 
 
With initial third-party testing completed, the drill rig has now been brought 
to site. All access tracks and drill pads have been prepared. Further due 
diligence will continue while the Southern Copper discovery undergoes maiden 
drill testing. The rig will then be taken to Goldsmith's Reef to test 
extensions below the pre World War 1 underground workings. The campaign will 
conclude at Main Lodes with further testing of the porphyry mineralisation 
intersecting by Tectonic's previous drilling. 
 
Highlights: 
 
Joint testing under due diligence by international metals major: 
 
 1. Analysed gold nuggets of up to 3oz recovered from previous reconnaissance. 
 
 1. Southern Copper - the team mapped an additional 500m of mineralisation at 
    surface northeast of initial discovery. 
     a. +14% Copper grades returned by PXRF testing. 
 
 1. Taree Fields - old workings along strike from Southern Copper 
     a. Native copper visible in outcrop samples 
     b. PXRF in field testing showed grades to over 45% copper. 
     c. Laboratory assays confirmed PXRF readings up to 46% copper. 
 
Further update to come.
