Rock Tech Progresses Permitting Work with Geochemical Testing and development of
Surface Water and Ground Water Monitoring Programs at Georgia Lake
Vancouver, BC, Canada – August 12, 2020 – Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (the "Company" or
“Rock Tech”) (TSX-V: RCK; Frankfurt: RJIB) is pleased to announce that it has engaged
Environmental Applications Group Inc. (“EAG”) to conduct a screening level static geochemical
characterization program and develop a surface water monitoring program at Rock Tech’s 100%-
owned Georgia Lake lithium project in Ontario, Canada.
The purpose of geochemical characterization program is to determine if geological materials
tested to date, development and host rock types as well as ore samples and metallurgical tailings
are potentially acid generating or metals leaching. Geochemical characterization of tailings is a
mine closure plan requirement and will be a factor in remediation and management options at
closure.
Additionally, Rock Tech has engaged EAG to develop a surface water monitoring program to be
followed for the remainder of the baseline data collection, the closure plan surface water
monitoring program and the monitoring program for the sewage environmental compliance
approval. In developing the surface water monitoring program, EAG will review surface water
baseline data collected by the Company to date, available streamflow data from government
databases and consult and collaborate with the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks
(“MECP”).
“We are pleased with the progress being made on the permitting front as we move our Georgia
Lake lithium project forward and are excited to increase our collaboration with EAG,” said
Simon Bodensteiner, Rock Tech’s Chief Executive Officer. “The results of the geochemical
program will provide an early indication of any risk associated with the metal leaching/acid rock
drainage potential at Georgia Lake and provide valuable information for the management and
mitigation of these materials should the need arise.”
Furthermore, the Company has engaged Pichin Ltd. (“Pinchin”) to develop a ground water
monitoring and contingency plan. The ground water monitoring plan to be developed by Pinchin,
in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (“MECP”), will form
the basis of further studies to identify and characterize any potential impediments to beneficial
use of ground water as a result of the presence of migration of contaminants.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
