Tectonic Gold Plc: Half-year Report
Tue 30th June, 2020 7:00am
30 June 2020
TECTONIC GOLD PLC
(“Tectonic Gold” or the “Company”)
Unaudited Interim Results to 31 December 2019
MANAGING DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present the unaudited financial results for (“Tectonic
Gold” and/or “the Company”) and its controlled entities (the Group) for
the half year ended 31 December 2019.
During the period, management’s focus was on progressing the South African
projects and finding a partner to commercialise the diamond mining contract.
The Company also investigated heavy mineral sands coincident with the alluvial
diamond ores and submitted an application for a mining tenement to extract and
process heavy mineral sands. The diamond project attracted investor interest
and is now being funded into production by London listed specialist resources
investment company, Kazera Global Investments Plc. Tectonic has retained a
non-diluting 10% interest in the diamond mining subsidiary, Deep Blue Minerals
Pty Ltd, as announced on 4 June 2020.
Tectonic Gold’s Australian subsidiary, Signature Gold Pty Ltd, has submitted
an application for Queensland State Government funding assistance for a
drilling program at the company’s Mount Cassidy project. A decision on this
is expected by the end of July 2020 and if successful it is intended to
undertake drilling in the October quarter.
On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) declared the
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic. The pandemic has adversely
affected the global economy, including an increase in unemployment, decrease
in consumer demand, interruptions in supply chains, and tight liquidity and
credit conditions. Consequently, governments around the world have announced
monetary and fiscal stimulus packages to minimise the adverse economic impact.
However, the COVID-19 situation is still evolving, and its full economic
impact remains uncertain.
The Company has several assets where the value may be impacted by COVID-19. At
the date these financial statements were approved by the Directors the extent
of the impact COVID-19 on the Company’s assets cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time.
The pandemic has impacted the Company’s operations with Government mandated
bans on mass gatherings and social distancing measures resulting in disruption
to the Company’s operations, this disruption is expected to negatively
impact the ability for the Company to conduct drilling and its parent
entity’s ability to raise capital, refer Going Concern Note 2.
The Directors and management are continually monitoring and managing the
Company’s operations closely in response to COVID-19 however the extent of
the impact COVID-19 may have on the Company’s future liquidity, financial
performance and position and operations is uncertain and cannot be reasonably
estimated at the date these financial statements were issued.
RESULTS AND COMPARITIVE INFORMATION
The Group incurred a profit after tax for the reporting period of £23,569 (31
Dec 2018: £102,888 profit as restated).
During the reporting period Signature Gold received a Research and Development
(R&D) Tax Incentive Rebate of approximately £152,163 (2018: £$ 330,248) for
the financial year ended 30 June 2019.
The R&D Tax Incentive Rebate is an Australian Government program under which
eligible companies receive cash refunds of up to 45% of eligible expenditure
on research and development.
Comparative period adjustments
The 2018 balances were restated in the 2019 financial statements as the
Company’s auditor, PKF Littlejohn LLP found an error in the accounting
treatment for the reverse acquisition during the 2019 audit. The 2018 balances
were also restated to account for certain costs amounting to £45,250 that
were not accrued for at the time and the fair value of options that were
issued on 25 June 2018 which amount to £68,900. Accordingly, comparative
information for the reporting period ended 31 December 2018 in this report has
been re-stated.
For and on behalf of the Board.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019
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 (the “Company”) and the entities it controlled at the
end of, or during, the six months ended 31 December 2019. 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
2019 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 2019 Annual Report and statutory accounts for the
year ended 30 June 2019.
The statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2019 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

fall due.
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2019
were approved by the Board on 30 June 2019.

period ended 31 December 2019.

7. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) declared the
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic. The pandemic has adversely
affected the global economy, including an increase in unemployment, decrease
in consumer demand, interruptions in supply chains, and tight liquidity and
credit conditions. Consequently, governments around the world have announced
monetary and fiscal stimulus packages to minimise the adverse economic impact.
However, the COVID-19 situation is still evolving, and its full economic
impact remains uncertain.
The Company has several assets where the value may be impacted by COVID-19. At
the date that these financial statements were approved by the Directors the
extent of the impact COVID-19 on the Company’s assets cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time.
The pandemic has impacted the Company’s operations with Government mandated
bans on mass gatherings and social distancing measures resulting in disruption
to the Company’s operations, this disruption is expected to negatively
impact the ability for the Company to conduct drilling and its parent
entity’s ability to raise capital, refer Going Concern Note 2 of the Company
20919 annual report.
The Directors and management are continually monitoring and managing the
Company’s operations closely in response to COVID-19 however the extent of
the impact COVID-19 may have on the Company’s future liquidity, financial
performance and position and operations is uncertain and cannot be reasonably
estimated at the date these financial statements were issued.
Other than as stated elsewhere in this report, Directors are not aware of any
other matters or circumstances at the date of this report that have
significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations, the results
of the operations or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent
financial years.
8. DISTRIBUTION
Copies of these interim financial statements are available on the Aquis
Exchange website, the Company website (www.tectonicgold.com) or directly from
the Company at its registered address.
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this
announcement.
