Chair of the Board of Directors for Tectonic Metals and look
forward to continuing to work with my fellow directors, management
and all our stakeholders. I am proud of the partnerships and
relationships that Tectonic has built, founded on respect and
transparency, and I am excited about our company's future. Mel is
missed dearly, and I am grateful to him for setting such a high
standard and being both friend and mentor."
Tectonic's President and CEO, Tony
Reda, commented, "Having worked with Allison for many
years, first at Kaminak and now Tectonic, it gives me great
pleasure to announce her appointment as Chair of the Board. Allison
is ESG. She is an Environmental Biologist by trade and an
industry leader in Sustainability, who was involved in the
permitting of nine major projects in Canada and serving on the board of directors
for various non-profit industry organizations and Tectonic, where
she also serves as Chair of the Governance Committee. She has
worked with Indigenous Peoples, non-profit organizations locally
and abroad, junior and major mining companies and Indigenous,
provincial, territorial and federal governments. Allison is a
humanitarian and trailblazer whose global ESG experience
will continue to be invaluable to Tectonic. Allison's
dedication, integrity and record of achievement personify what it
means to be The Shift in the Game, and we are privileged to welcome
her as our chair."
Allison was previously Vice President, Lands of Environment and

Mining as Vice President for four years, is a founding member of
the Yukon University Foundation Board and has served on the
Northwest Territories and Nunavut
Chambers of Mines as well as a number of working groups for the
PDAC. Allison's involvement in Tectonic began at the Company's
inception in 2017, where she applied her vast experience and
passion for sustainability, community building and Indigenous
relations to launch Tectonic off on the right foot, making key
Tectonic partnerships possible and playing an integral role in
structuring Tectonic's innovating and groundbreaking production
agreements on the Company's projects. In 2019, Allison
