ABOUT ROCK TECH
Rock Tech is a cleantech company with operations in Canada and Germany on a mission to
produce lithium hydroxide for electric vehicle batteries. The Company plans to build lithium
converters at the doorstep of its customers, to guarantee supply-chain transparency and just-in-
time delivery, beginning with the Company's proposed lithium hydroxide merchant converter and
refinery facility in Guben, Germany. The second Lithium converter is planned to be built in Red
Rock, Ontario, Canada. Rock Tech plans to sour ce raw material from its wholly -owned Georgia
Lake spodumene project located in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Ontario, Canada, as well
as procuring it from other responsibly producing mines. In the years to come, the Company
expects to also source raw material from discarded batteries. To close the most pressing gap in
the clean mobility story, Rock Tech has gathered one of the strongest teams in the industry. The
Company has adopted strict environmental, social and governance standards and is developing a
proprietary refining process aimed at further increasing efficiency and sustainability. Rock Tech's
goal: to create a closed-loop lithium production system.
