Rock Tech Drills 56.58 metres of 2.48% Graphite at Lochaber
(via Thenewswire.ca)
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, April 22, 2013 - Rock Tech
Lithium Inc. (TSX-Venture: RCK; Frankfurt: RJIA) (the
"Company" or "Rock Tech") announces updated assay
results for two drill holes at its Lochaber graphite project in
Quebec.
The assay results of these drill holes, PB-12-08 and PB-12-09, were
originally disclosed in a news release on December 19, 2012. After
interpreting the assay results, the Company sent the remaining core
intersections not initially submitted to the laboratory.
Highlights from these two drill holes include:
-Drill hole PB-12-08 intersected 120.60 metres of graphite at various
depths, ranging from 1.18% to 3.01% graphitic carbon ("Cg"),
including 56.58 metres at 2.48% Cg, 22.98 metres at 2.33% Cg, 14.04
metres at 3.01% Cg, 17.20 metres at 1.97% Cg and 9.80 metres at 1.18%
Cg; and
-Drill Hole PB-12-09 intersected 112.27 metres of graphite at various
depths, ranging from 2.09% to 6.00% Cg, including 59.92 metres at
2.09% Cg, 44.25 metres at 2.84% Cg, 7.10 metres at 3.42% Cg, and 1.00
metres at 6.00% Cg.
The above mentioned drill holes tested the graphite mineralization
along electromagnetic conductor 'C'. The electromagnetic conductors
were identified during geophysical surveys in September, 2012 (click

These two drill holes are the last of the resubmitted samples from the
first phase of drilling. The Company expects to release the assay
results for the remaining drill holes in the near future.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
All core samples are logged and split by wet diamond saw with half
sent to the lab for analysis and half stored securely on site. The
core sample lengths typically average 1 metre but vary depending on
geological boundaries. Additional QA/QC procedures include inserting
blanks and standards into the core sample stream at industry standard
intervals with duplicate core samples taken at intervals of twenty.
Core samples are prepped and analyzed by Global Mineral Research
Limited in Burnaby, British Columbia. During analysis, the core
samples are dried, pulverized, leached and roasted at 450? Celsius and
1200? Celsius with measured weights taken between double ignitions.
The laboratories also conduct duplicate and internal standard samples
at intervals of ten as part of their QA/QC program.
