Rock Tech Samples 1.37% Lithium Oxide over 20.96 metres at Georgia Lake
(via Thenewswire.ca)
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, January 18, 2011 - Rock Tech
Lithium Inc. (TSX-Venture: RCK; Frankfurt: RJIA; Pink Sheets: RCKTF)
(the "Company" or "Rock Tech") is pleased to
announce assay results from the second phase ("Phase 2") of
its exploration program at its Georgia Lake lithium project. The
program, consisting of 4,608 metres of diamond drilling over 18 drill
holes in addition to 16 channel samples, tested pegmatite dykes
located on the Nama Creek, Conway and Newkirk claim blocks.
The objective of Phase 2 of the exploration program is to expand the
resource announced on October 26, 2011, of 2.36 million tonnes of
1.17% lithium oxide ("Li2O") indicated and 4.36 million
tonnes of 1.08% Li2O inferred.
Highlights of the drill results are as follows:
-1.09% Li2O over 8.33 metres and 0.94% Li2O over 3.0 metres in drill
hole L60-11-03;
-1.12% Li2O over 7.0 metres and 1.12% Li2O over 2.0 metres in drill
hole L60-11-04; and
-2.11% Li2O over 1.0 metre and 0.79% Li2O over 2.0 metres in drill
hole L60-11-05.
Highlights of the channel sampling results are as follows:
-1.50% Li2O over 8.03 metres in Channel L60-11-C01
-1.45% Li2O over 12.99 metres in Channel L60-11-C04
-1.37% Li2O over 20.96 metres in Channel L60-11-C09
-1.45% Li2O over 14.08 metres in Channel L60-11-C06
-1.45% Li2O over 19.51 metres in Channel L60-11-C08
-1.04% Li2O over 11.01 metres in Channel L60-11-C10
Anomalous values of rare metals including rubidium, beryllium, cesium,
niobium and tantalum were also encountered. Detailed assay results
can be found in the tables below:

Company President and CEO, Eunho Lee, commented, "The channel
sample results at the Line 60 pegmatite dyke at Nama Creek has far
exceeded our expectations in terms of both lithium oxide grades and
widths. This data, along with the recently received and pending assay
results, will be incorporated into a three dimensional model and be
included in an updated NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate."

Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Samples were prepared by Actlabs' preparation lab in Geraldton,
Ontario, and then shipped to Actlabs' analytical lab in Ancaster,
Ontario, for analysis. Actlabs is accredited by ISO 17025. The
samples were digested using lithium metaborate/tetraborate fusion and
analyzed for the major elements by ICP and trace elements by ICP/MS.
The samples were digested by sodium peroxide fusion and analyzed for
lithium using ICP/OES.
Caracle Creek International Consulting ("CCIC") inserted
standards and blanks into the sample stream in regular intervals with
every tenth sample being a low-grade lithium standard, a high-grade
lithium standard or a blank. Additionally, one in every twenty
samples was a core duplicate. The external standards and blanks
passed QC review for all drill holes in this press release. Actlabs
also analyzed pulp and preparation duplicates and method blanks as
part of their QA/QC program.
The technical information contained in this news release has been
