Rock Tech Assays High Grade Lithium Oxide in Channel Samples

Rock Tech Assays High Grade Lithium Oxide in Channel Samples

VANCOUVER, March 1, 2017 /CNW/ - Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (the "Company" or "Rock Tech") (TSX-V:

RCK; Frankfurt: RJIB) is pleased to announce the first batch of channel sample assay results from its

recently completed exploration program at its 100%-owned Georgia Lake lithium property in the Thunder

Bay Mining District of Northwest Ontario, Canada.

Rock Tech's CEO, Martin Stephan, commented, "We are extremely pleased with the high-grade channel

sample assay results from the McVittie pegmatite. While the McVittie pegmatite was drilled in the 195 0's,

this is the first time Rock Tech has done exploration work here; accordingly, we have barely scratched the

surface with respect to its potential. Follow up testing will be aimed at determining whether our effo rts

uncovered a new lithium-bearing pegmatite or whether this is a splay from the pegmatite drilled in the

1950's. These results unambiguously support our optimism regarding the organic growth potential the

Georgia Lake lithium property represents."

The assay results reported herein are from channel samples taken from the McVittie pegmatite. Ten (10)

channels were cut and forty-seven (47) samples take n. The purpose of the channels was to gain

information on the location of the pegmatite on surface and to aid in drill targeting in the future. Assay

results are summarized in the following table:

Channel Grade (% Li 2O) Length (m) From (m) To (m)

McVittie-16-CH-1 1.27 3.89 0.00 3.89

McVittie-16-CH-1W 1.00 0.82 1.10 1.92

McVittie-16-CH-2 1.36 6.45 0.83 7.28

McVittie -16 -CH -3 1.71 5.99 0.53 6.52

McVittie-16-CH-4 1.46 6.09 0.00 6.09

McVittie-16-CH-5E 1.64 1.10 0.00 1.10

McVittie-16-CH-5 1.62 4.73 1.03 5.76

The McVittie pegmatite, located south of the Nama C reek pegmatite, was the focus of a drill program

conducted in 1955 and 1956. In total, twelve (12) h oles were drilled totalling 1,093 metres leading to a

resource estimate of 236,775 tonnes grading 1.03% L i2O (Pye, 1965). The historical estimate does not

use the categories set out in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101 and a qualified person has not done

sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The

Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

The map below shows the locations of the channels i n relation to the known lithium-bearing pegmatites:

The channel samples were analyzed by Actlabs, an IS O 9001:2008 certified analytical laboratory located

in Geraldton, Ontario.

Rock Tech is the only exploration company in the Georgia Lake region with an NI 43-101 resource

estimate. 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.
