Phase Two Drilling Accelerates at Flat Gold Project
Tectonic Metals Inc. (TSXV: TECT; OTCQB: TETOF) has launched its 2025 Phase Two drilling program at the Flat Gold Project in southwestern Alaska. The project spans nearly 100,000 acres of land primarily owned by Doyon, Ltd., a major Alaska Native Regional Corporation and significant shareholder in Tectonic. The company targets over 9,000 meters of drilling this phase, aiming to build on its record 2025 campaign that will exceed 16,000 meters combined.
Flat is positioned near the massive Donlin Gold Project and offers promising potential as a tier-one, free-milling, heap-leachable gold deposit. The Phase Two program focuses heavily on delineation drilling at Chicken Mountain, the project’s largest mineralized system. This work will support a maiden mineral resource estimate and further unlock Flat’s significant exploration upside.
Focus on Chicken Mountain and Alpha Bowl Expansion
Chicken Mountain remains the primary target for Phase Two drilling. The intrusion covers a 6.5 km by 6.0 km area, with over 3 km of mineralized strike already identified from 86 drill holes. Half of these holes ended in gold mineralization, some exceeding depths of 400 meters. The system’s scale is evident as all creeks draining from Chicken Mountain have produced placer gold historically.
Meanwhile, Alpha Bowl continues to show high-grade gold results, with recent drill holes revealing impressive intercepts, including 41.15 meters grading 2.23 g/t gold. Tectonic also plans step-out drilling to expand this discovery. In parallel, the company invests heavily in logistics to enable year-round operations starting in early 2026.
SuperMetalPrice Commentary:
Tectonic Metals’ Phase Two drilling at Flat Gold highlights its aggressive approach to advancing one of Alaska’s most promising gold projects. The focus on Chicken Mountain and Alpha Bowl strengthens the project’s resource potential ahead of a maiden resource estimate. Additionally, Tectonic’s commitment to infrastructure sets the stage for scalable operations and timely project development. As gold demand persists, Flat offers a compelling opportunity in a top-tier jurisdiction for investors and industry watchers.
