TECTONIC GOLD PLC
("Tectonic Gold" or the "Company")
Unaudited Interim Results to 31 December 2021
MANAGING DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholder,
During the half year to December 2021, the Company ran a significant field
campaign on the lead gold exploration project at Specimen Hill. Our partnership
with London listed Kazera Global Investments Plc ("Kazera") (LSE:KZG) also
delivered the further production of diamonds from the Alexkor site in South
Africa.
With further support from shareholders who converted their warrants and profit
from the divestment of a part of our holding in Kazera, we funded follow up
drilling at Specimen Hill, testing copper and gold follow on targets from the
2020 campaign. During this time, we hosted a number of potential farm-in
investors on site and identified additional extensions to mineralised zones for
exploration.
Drilling along strike from Main Lodes again returned positive intersections,
however, the unexpected onset of early monsoonal rains and accompanying
electrical storms forced us to suspend drilling before we could complete the
campaign. Australia's east coast has had an unusually wet summer with localised
flooding in the region, so we have not been able to access site again at the
time of this report, but we are planning to remobilise as soon as possible and
complete the campaign. This will involve diamond core drilling below the
historic high-grade Goldsmith's Reef mine. This is fully funded with current
cash reserves. This sheeted vein system at Goldsmisth's Reef was mined until
World War One to a depth of some thirty meters. Our geophysics reconnaissance
shows the system steeply plunging to well over one hundred meters and the
drilling will target the same high grade surface veins down to that depth and
beyond.
Our joint venture with Kazera in Heavy Mineral Sands in South Africa is waiting
on the award of a mining license which was significantly delayed by COVID. We
are hopeful this will be in hand in the next quarter, and we will be able to
announce the development plans for the project.
Despite weather and COVID related delays, we are well funded, with a number of
opportunities to drive shareholder value in the pipeline and look forward to
the run to year end.
RESULTS AND COMPARITIVE INFORMATION
The Group incurred a loss after tax for the reporting period of £198,977 (31
Dec 2020: £60,084 (loss).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Tectonic Gold Plc is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the
Companies Act 2006. The consolidated entity (the "Group") consists of Tectonic
Gold Plc (Tectonic and or the "Company") and the entities it controlled at the
end of, or during, the six months ended 31 December 2021. The principal
activity of the Group during the financial period was mineral exploration.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("the interim
financial statements") of the Group are for the six months ended 31 December
2021 and are presented in Sterling which is the Company's presentational
currency. These interim financial statements have not been reviewed or audited.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
recognition and measurement principles of IFRS as adopted by the European Union
(EU) and on the same basis and using the same accounting policies as applied in
the Company's 2021 Annual Report and statutory accounts for the year ended 30
June 2021.
The statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021 have been filed with the
Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 2006.
The interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
under the historical cost convention. The Directors believe that the going
concern basis is appropriate for the preparation of these interim financial
statements as the Company is in a position to meet all its liabilities as they
fall due.
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2021 were
approved by the Board on 31 March 2022.
3. DIVID
The Board is not recommending the payment of an interim dividend for the period
ended 31 December 2021.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The basic earnings per share is based on the profit/(loss) for the year divided
by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the reporting period.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the reporting period assumes
that all shares have been included in the computation based on the weighted
average number of days since issue.
