The McVittie pegmatite, located south of the Nama Creek pegmatite which hosts the majority of the
Company's NI 43-101 resource estimate, was the focus of a drill program conducted in 1955 and
1956. In total, twelve (12) holes were drilled over 544 metres. During 2016, ten (10) channels were
cut and forty-seven (47) samples taken during a trenching program. The purpose of the channels
was to gain information on additional pegmatites observed on surface and to better calibrate future
exploration programs. The McVittie pegmatite hosts an inferred resource estimate, prepared in
accordance with NI 43-101, of 670,000 tonnes (the Technical Report with resource estimate is
available on the Company's website and on SEDAR).
On
June 27, 2018
, the Company announced an updated and upgraded resource estimate for the
Georgia Lake lithium property that included the following:
Measured: 1.89 million tonnes grading 1.04% lithium oxide ("Li2O");
Indicated: 4.68 million tonnes grading 1.00% Li2O;
Inferred: 6.72 million tonnes grading 1.16% Li2O.
The samples will be analyzed by Actlabs, an ISO 9001:2008 certified analytical laboratory located in
Ancaster, Ontario
.

property was reviewed and approved by

were any warrants issued to an Agent, broker or finder as compensation for services. The proposed
amendment to the warrants is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
About Rock Tech Lithium:
Rock Tech Lithium is an exploration company focused on acquiring and exploring properties in the
field of lithium. The Georgia Lake Lithium project is a lithium-rich pegmatite vein deposit being
developed for mining. The deposit was discovered in the Thunder Bay Mining district in northwestern
Ontario/Canada
, close to the
Lake Superior
, as early as 1955. Rock Tech Lithium has been working
increasingly on the property since 2016 – in a market environment, where the trend for electric cars
on the international market has been rising steeply for years. Analysts expect that more than 25% of
newly sold cars in 2025 will be electrified, with the demand for batteries and therefore battery
metals such as lithium expanding rapidly.
