– Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (the "Company" or “Rock Tech”) (TSX-V: RCK; Frankfurt:
RJIB) is pleased to announce the additional results of prospecting grab samples taken from its 100%-owned Georgia Lake
lithium property in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Northwest Ontario, Canada.
These assay results, returning grades up to 2.82% lithium oxide (“Li2O”), correspond to thirty-one (31) surface samples
collected from various outcrops and boulders occurring in and around the Nama Creek area of the Georgia Lake lithium property.
The Nama Creek area has received the majority of exploration investment, contains a significant portion of the NI 43-101
resource estimate delineated to date and was the site of a bulk sample taken for metallurgical testing in 2011.
Rock Tech’s CEO, Martin Stephan, commented, “We are very pleased to receive additional high-grade assay results
demonstrating extensive lithium mineralization on our Georgia Lake property. While we have made significant investments in
the Nama Creek area, the bulk of this investment was geared towards confirming historical data and upgrading historic resources,
bringing them into compliance with National Instrument 43-101. These high-grade results demonstrate the possible extension of
the known lithium-bearing dikes and the potential presence of additional lithium-bearing pegmatite dikes, confirming that follow up
investigation is highly warranted.”
Analytical results of the surface grab samples are presented in the following table:

The surface samples were submitted to Actlabs, an ISO 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.
The source of all historical resource estimates referenced in this news release is the Ontario Department of Mines
Geological Report No. 31 titled, “Geology and Lithium Deposits of Georgia Lake Area”, by E.G. Pye, (1965). The Company
intends to verify the historical estimates by conducting further exploration; however, as of the date of this news release, a
qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources and the Company is
not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources.
All scientific and technical information in this news release concerning the Georgia Lake lithium property was reviewed
and prepared under the supervision of Locke Goldsmith, P. Eng, P. Geo., an independent Qualified Person to Rock Tech.
