Rock Tech Signs Letter of Intent with Brainworks Capital Management (Private) Limited

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, July 31, 2013 - Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (TSX-V: RCK; Frankfurt: RJIA) (the "Company" or "Rock Tech") announces that, effective July 23, 2013, it entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") with Brainworks Capital Management (Private) Limited ("Brainworks"), a company incorporated in Zimbabwe, to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Brainworks (the "Transaction").

The Transaction is intended to take the form of a corporate combination whereby, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, Rock Tech will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Brainworks in exchange for common shares in the capital of Rock Tech. The Transaction will constitute a reverse takeover ("RTO") pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

Rock Tech is a Canadian exploration company focused on developing its lithium and graphite projects located in Canada. In 2009, the Company acquired the Georgia Lake lithium property located near Thunder Bay, Ontario. Since acquiring the property, the Company has completed over 12,000 metres of drilling, conducted metallurgical testing and confirmed a significant portion of the historic resource estimate to NI 43-101 standards. In 2012, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Lochaber graphite property near Gatineau, Quebec. Since acquiring the property, the Company completed geophysical surveys, over 7,000 metres of drilling and has begun initial metallurgical testing. In May, 2013, based on the results of exploration activities, the Company exercised its option to acquire 100% of the Lochaber graphite property.
