Rock Tech Assays High Grade Lithium Oxide in Channel Samples

Rock Tech Lithium (TSXV:RCK) has announced the first batch of channel assay results from its recently completed exploration program on its 100-percent owned Georgia Lake lithium property.
As quoted in the press release:

Rock Tech’s CEO, Martin Stephan, commented, “We are extremely pleased with the high-grade channel sample assay results from the McVittie pegmatite.  While the McVittie pegmatite was drilled in the 1950’s, this is the first time Rock Tech has done exploration work here; accordingly, we have barely scratched the surface with respect to its potential. Follow up testing will be aimed at determining whether our efforts uncovered a new lithium-bearing pegmatite or whether this is a splay from the pegmatite drilled in the 1950’s. These results unambiguously support our optimism regarding the organic growth potential the Georgia Lake lithium property represents.”
The assay results reported herein are from channel samples taken from the McVittie pegmatite. Ten (10) channels were cut and forty-seven (47) samples taken. The purpose of the channels was to gain information on the location of the pegmatite on surface and to aid in drill targeting in the future.
The McVittie pegmatite, located south of the Nama Creek pegmatite, was the focus of a drill program conducted in 1955 and 1956. In total, twelve (12) holes were drilled totalling 1,093 metres leading to a resource estimate of 236,775 tonnes grading 1.03% Li2O (Pye, 1965). The historical estimate does not use the categories set out in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101 and a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
