Resources and Potential


Tectonic's exploration activities are providing greater confidence in the Phillips River resources as the company moves closer to a bankable feasibility study.

The Trilogy deposit is a significant copper and gold rich (50% by value) poly-metallic resource of 6,240,000 tonnes at 1.0% copper, 0.8g/t gold, 47g/t silver, 2.0% lead and 1.2% zinc (see table).

The Kundip gold copper deposit currently hosts a resource of 7,725,000 tonnes at 2.97g/t gold and 0.3% copper for 738,000 oz gold and 24,000 copper tonnes (see table).
