Rock Tech Engages Nagrom for Testwork on Patent-Pending Processing Method

(TheNewswire)



Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (the "Company" or "Rock Tech") (TSXV:RCK ) (OTC:RCKTF) ( Frankfurt: RJIB) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Nagrom laboratories to conduct bench scale testwork on the Company's patent-pending lithium hydroxide production process

The bench scale tests will initially be performed on generated liquors, informed by the bench scale testwork from the traditional sulphation route (at the point in the process where Rock Tech's innovative process applies). This considers quality aspects from various spodumene concentrates, including spodumene concentrate from Rock Tech's 100% owned Georgia Lake lithium project in Ontario, Canada. The testwork will provide valuable information on the performance of the Company's innovative production process, inform future pilot scale tests and provide purified lithium hydroxide samples for further testing by the Company and prospective customers.

"We are thrilled to work with Nagrom to study our innovative lithium hydroxide production process further," said Dirk Harbecke, Rock Tech's chairman. "The results of these tests will provide us a deeper understanding of the flowsheet to establish the dedicated pilot plant."

"While the nitrate route involves an innovative salt conversion to form lithium hydroxide, it is based technologically on unit operations known from the potash and fertilizer industries and thus, scaling-up risk is low," said Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Voigt, Director of Rock Tech. "Compared to the traditional route this process does not need sub-zero process steps, allows simplified purification of the lithium hydroxide and reduces the consumption of energy and water. In addition, the process has the potential to deliver pure and attractive by-products for the building materials industry."

Brunswick Exploration Expands Its Exceptional Grassroot Portfolio Across Quebec, Canada and Greenland

Brunswick Exploration Inc. (" BRW " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that, pursuant to its aggressive and innovative grassroot exploration campaign which led to three new discoveries including the flagship Mirage Project, it has expanded its portfolio of targets and map-staked over 215 outcropping, mapped andor interpreted, untested S-type pegmatites, measuring between 500 and 8,800 metres in strike length. These new targets are located in areas that have seen minimal or no current lithium exploration in Quebec, Labrador and, for the first time, Greenland. The newly acquired pegmatites were identified following extensive compilation work by BRW and most are located near existing roads, power infrastructure andor tidal water.

ALX Resources Corp. Intersects Uranium Mineralization at the Gibbons Creek Uranium Project, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

alx resources corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an update on the 2024 winter drilling program at its 100%-owned Gibbons Creek Uranium Project ("Gibbons Creek", or the "Project") located in the northern Athabasca Basin near the community of Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan. The second and third holes of the planned 6-hole program have intersected narrow intervals of uranium mineralization at or near the unconformity, based upon hand-held scintillometer readings on drill core, downhole gamma probe results, and visual observation of uranium minerals by ALX's geological team.

Hole GC24-02 (180 degree azimuth / -75 degree dip) was drilled at the intersection of east-west and north-northwest faults interpreted from the 2023 ground magnetic survey and intersected fracture-controlled and disseminated blebs of uranium mineralization at 0.8 metres below the unconformity, which was reached at a depth of 108.4 metres. An Exploranium GR-135 handheld scintillometer measured radioactivity of 220 counts per second ("cps") and a Mount Sopris 2PGA-1000 downhole gamma probe measured a radiometric peak of 3,321 cps within a 0.6 metre interval of anomalous radioactivity from 108.9 to 109.5 metres. Drill hole GC24-02 represents an approximately 470-metre step-out to the west of ALX's historical hole GC15-03 (0.143% U3O8 assay over 0.23 metres) and was collared approximately 350 metres to the southwest of Eldorado Nuclear's ("Eldorado") 1979 hole GC-15 (1,520 parts per million ("ppm") uranium over 0.13 metres) (see Figure 1).
