Rock Tech Joins European Raw Materials Alliance
Vancouver, BC, Canada – October 13, 2020 – Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (the "Company" or
“Rock Tech”) (TSX-V: RCK; Frankfurt: RJIB) is pleased to announce it has joined the European
Raw Materials Alliance (“ERMA”).
ERMA, launched by the European Commission on September 29, 2020, has the following
primary objectives:
• Establishing a dynamic European Union industrial alliance on the raw materials needed
for industrial ecosystems.
• Identifying investment and enabling policy requirements, possibly including industrial
consortia in the framework of Important Projects of Common European Interest.
• Creating a deeper awareness of raw materials and advanced materials as enablers for the
EU Green Deal.
“Rock Tech is very excited to be joining the European Raw Materials Alliance,” said Dirk
Harbecke, Rock Tech’s chairman. “Momentum is accelerating as policymakers and industry
participants coalesce around the notion of security of supply regarding the critical raw materials
that enable a globally competitive, green and digital economy.”
Among other deliverables, ERMA will install a Raw Materials Investment Platform to bring
investors and investees together in addition to assessing EU funding opportunities and financing
sources for investment opportunities both inside and outside of Europe.
“We continue to make significant progress in our downstream strategic pursuits,” added Simon
Bodensteiner, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “Strategic autonomy and sovereignty,
particularly with respect to battery metals, is gaining considerable support with the establishment
of ERMA and we are delighted to be collaborating with fellow alliance partners.”
