Rock Tech Announces Commencement of Summer Field Program at Georgia Lake
Rock Tech Announces Commencement of Summer Field Program at Georgia
Lake
VANCOUVER, July 26, 2017 /CNW/ - Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (the "Company" or "Rock Tech") (TSX-V:
RCK; Frankfurt: RJIB) is pleased to announce the co mmencement of a field sampling program in the
Parole Lake area of its 100%-owned Georgia Lake lit hium property in the Thunder Bay Mining District of
Northwest Ontario, Canada.
Martin Stephan, Chief Executive Officer of Rock Tec h, commented, "The Parole Lake region of the
Georgia Lake lithium property hosts at least six lithium-bearing pegmatites and represents an exciting
area for growth. We recently completed seven drill holes on one of the lithium-bearing pegmatites in this
region, with one of the drill holes intersecting 11.65 metres with an average grade of 1.53% lithium o xide
(see company press release dated June 29, 2017). Th is drill program successfully followed up the
channel sampling program which showed lithium oxide mineralization up to 2.69% on surface (see
company press release dated May 3, 2017). The field program now underway will be aimed at sampling
the other known lithium-bearing pegmatites while searching for new, previously undiscovered or
unreported pegmatite dykes."
Parole Lake Region
The Parole Lake region of the Georgia Lake lithium property hosts at least six lithium-bearing pegmatites.
One of them, the Parole Lake No. 4, was the site of recent drilling and channeling and has an historic
resource estimate of 1.5 million tonnes grading 1.30% Li2O (Pye, 1965); however, the historical estima te
does not use the categories set out in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101 and a Qualified Person has no t
done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
As a result, the Parole Lake pegmatite is not included in Rock Tech's NI 43-101 resource estimate.
The results from the recent channel program confirm ed the presence of high-grade lithium mineralization
on surface with a sample showing an average grade o f 1.89% Li2O over 4.22 metres, including 2.69%
Li2O over 1.03 metres. The recently completed drill program, with one intersection averaging 1.53% Li2O
over 11.65 metres, confirmed lithium mineralization at depth, provided a better understanding of the
geometry of the lithium-bearing pegmatite and will greatly enhance the efficacy of future drill programs.
Any samples collected during the field program will be submitted to and analyzed by Actlabs, an ISO
9001:2008 certified analytical laboratory located in Geraldton, Ontario.
All scientific and technical information in this news release concerning the Georgia Lake lithium prop erty
was reviewed and prepared under the supervision of Locke B. Goldsmith, P.Eng., P.Geo., an
independent Qualified Person to Rock Tech.
About Rock Tech Lithium:
Rock Tech Lithium is an exploration company focused on acquiring and exploring properties in the field of
lithium and other selected battery metals.
Rock Tech is the only exploration company in the Georgia Lake region with an NI 43-101 resource
estimate. The resource estimate shows an indicated resource estimate of 3.19 million tonnes grading
1.10% lithium oxide in addition to an inferred resource estimate of 6.31 million tonnes grading 1.00%
lithium oxide. Further, the Company has completed metallurgical testing on a bulk sample demonstrating
the ability to produce both a high-grade spodumene concentrate and battery-grade lithium carbonate
("Li2CO3"). The spodumene-bearing pegmatites of the Georgia Lake area were originally discovered in
1955.
