London South East catches up with Brett Boynton, CEO and Managing Director of Tectonic Gold (TTAU.PL) to learn about its proprietary research and exploration into Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS).

Put simply it's about locating the next generation of gold discoveries, and this Aquis Stock Exchange listed business is setting the ‘gold standard’ for exploring in the prolific New England Orogen gold belt in Queensland, Australia.

As Boynton explains, each of Tectonic’s projects must have the potential for the three million ounces of gold necessary to attract the attention of a big partner such as Evolution or Rio Tinto who have in-house IRGS experience.

Once the preserve of academics, IRGS has gone from the theoretical to the practical and Tectonic’s work has been recognised by Australia’s Federal Government who have funded the company's research into the adoption of technology associated with the oil and gas industries.

The Aquis Stock Exchange sees Tectonic as a success story and has promoted Tectonic to the Apex Segment of the AQSE Growth Market. This certifies that the company has a minimum market capitalisation of £10 million, at least 25% of shares in public hands, at least 2 market makers, a minimum 2 years’ trading history and has adopted a recognised corporate governance code.
