Rock Tech Lithium Inc. Discovers New Lithium Bearing Pegmatite at its Georgia Lake Lithium Property

The previously undocumented showing lies approximately 200 metres southeast of the Nama Creek area of the Georgia Lake lithium property. Three (3) samples from the new showing were submitted for analysis and returned lithium oxide ("Li2O") grades up to 1.81%. The exposed outcrop was approximately ten (10) metres in length and over three (3) metres wide though contact with host rock was not located, suggesting the potential for greater width. The showing was traced along surface for approximately 100 metres before boulders and overburden made further visual inspection infeasible.

Rock Tech's CEO, Martin Stephan, commented, "We are very excited at the prospect of a new discovery at our Georgia Lake lithium property. Substantial exploration work was completed by past operators in the 1950's and Rock Tech has made significant investments in exploration since acquiring the property. The discovery of a previously undocumented lithium-bearing pegmatite dike illustrates the property's expansion potential and reminds us that large portions of the property remain underexplored."

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.

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.
