Tectonic believes responsible mineral exploration and development can directly and indirectly benefit the communities in which we operate. We consistently and continuously evaluate our work with the goal of improving and enhancing our social performance. We understand that a high standard of social responsibility is necessary to obtain and maintain our social license, uphold our reputation with stakeholders and enhance our risk management.
Tectonic Metals is a proud sponsor of the Lady Warriors basketball team from the Walter Northway School in Alaska.
Geology students at Spencer Glacier, Alaska. Tectonic supports Doyon and GeoForce by funding 15 rural kids from Doyon villages to learn about geology. Participants attend the program each summer they are in high school with the University of Alaska Fairbanks and travel to a different location and state to learn geology. Today’s students are tomorrow’s geologists, and Tectonic is proud to support their learning journey!
