Values in Action
Tectonic believes that 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 Supports Alaska’s Next Generation of Geoscientists
Since 2018, Tectonic Metals has proudly partnered with the Doyon Foundation to fund scholarships that support Alaska Native students pursuing careers in natural resources. Our contributions directly support non-degree-seeking students through the Level Up Scholarship and help fund the Foundation’s natural resources competitive award.
We are especially proud to support GEOFORCE Alaska, a transformative outreach program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks that introduces rural high school students from the North Slope, Northwest Arctic, and Interior regions to the world of geoscience. Students join the program in 8th or 9th grade and embark on a four-year journey that includes summer geology academies in places like Denali National Park, the Grand Canyon, and Yellowstone. The goal: to spark and sustain interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, boost high school graduation rates, and build a more diverse, homegrown technical workforce in Alaska.
With an annual operating budget of approximately $225,000, GEOFORCE Alaska is made possible through gifts and sponsorships. Tectonic is proud to contribute financially and to champion programs that shape the future of Alaska’s resource sector by investing in the next generation of leaders.
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!
Diversity and Inclusivity Commitment
We respect, and appreciate differences in acquired diversity, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, education, and religion. We celebrate and respect individuals for their distinct talents, skills and abilities and recognize that the varied contributions of a diverse and inclusive workforce enhance benefits to stakeholders and the communities in which we work.
