About Rock Tech Lithium Inc.
Rock Tech Lithium Inc. is a Canadian based resource company focused on acquiring, exploring and developing high-quality lithium and rare metals properties.
The Company's strategy is to acquire and develop lithium properties that are at various stages of development -- from early-stage exploration projects to advanced-stage exploration projects that have been the subject of prior work programs and/or contain historic resources that can be brought to NI43- 101 standards and developed into economic mine operations.
The Company holds a 100% interest in the Georgia Lake lithium project, located in the Thunder Bay Mining District of northwest Ontario, an advanced stage exploration project that contains a historic resource estimate of 9.8 million tons with grades of 1.18% lithium oxide (Li2O) based on over 33,000 metres of drilling. The Georgia Lake lithium property consists of four claim blocks covering 11,481 hectares.

In addition to the Georgia Lake lithium project, Rock Tech holds a 100% interest in an early stage lithium project in the Kapiwak Pegmatite region of the James Bay area of Quebec, which covers 6,400 hectares. The Kapiwak Pegmatite region is a new discovery area, with a number of other resource companies having successful exploration results for lithium and rare metals such as rubidium and beryllium. The Company has conducted preliminary ground exploration work consisting of surface sampling which showed average Li2O grades of 1.47% and grades of interest for niobium, beryllium and tantalum.
