OTC MARKETS GROUP WELCOMES TECTONIC METALS INC. TO OTCQX

Tectonic Metals Inc. has qualified to trade on the OTCQX Best Market. Tectonic Metals upgraded to the OTCQX from the OTCQB Venture Market.

Tectonic Metals begins trading today on the OTCQX under the symbol TETOF. U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and real-time Level 2 quotes for the company on the OTC Markets website.

The OTCQX market is designed for established, investor-focused U.S. and international companies. To qualify for OTCQX, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best-practice corporate governance and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws. Graduating to the OTCQX market marks an important milestone for companies, enabling them to demonstrate their qualifications and build visibility among U.S. investors.

Tony Reda, co-founder, president and chief executive officer of Tectonic Metals, commented: "Trading on the OTCQX is a major milestone that furthers our strategy to expand Tectonic's reach across North American capital markets. The completion of our largest financing to date, which raised more than $92-million in March, 2026, was a key catalyst that supported this transition. With five rigs now turning at our Flat gold project in Alaska as part of our largest-ever drill program, we are well positioned to broaden our U.S. investor base and increase market awareness at a pivotal stage in the company's growth."

About Tectonic Metals Inc.

Tectonic Metals is a mineral exploration company led by an experienced and well-respected technical and financial team with a record of wealth creation for shareholders. The company is focused on exploring and developing its flagship Flat gold project in southwestern Alaska, covering 99,840 acres of predominantly native-owned land belonging to Doyon Ltd., a leading Alaska native regional corporation and one of Tectonic's largest shareholders.
