In many ways, the same can be said about each and every shareholder and stakeholder in Tectonic as we are grateful, thankful and humbled by your continued support as we remain laser-focused on finding the next mine responsibly and ethically. To that point, the capital from this private placement will allow us to move that vision forward as we embark on two drill programs this year testing what we believe to be some of the best targets our team has generated in years and touching ground and exploring for the first time in over 20 years our newly acquired Flat Project, one of Alaska's best exploration opportunities."
