Overview

Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (TSXV:RCK,FSE:RJIA,Pinksheet:RCKTF) is a Canadian-based resource company focused on acquiring, exploring and developing high-quality lithium and rare metals properties into sustainable and economic mines.

The Company's strategy is to systematically advance its projects from discovery to mining.

To that end, Rock Tech has completed Phase I of its exploration program at its advanced stage project, the Georgia Lake Lithium Project in the Thunder Bay Mining District of NW Ontario, consisting of 7,600+ metres of diamond drilling and a bulk sampling program to conform its historic resource to a NI43-101 inferred resource, and to achieve acceptable recovery rates utilizing various separation methodologies, and process battery-grade lithium carbonate.  The Company will continue with Phase II of its drill program to expand and update its resources and advance the Georgia Lake Project to Pre-Feasibility and Definitive Feasibility Studies, with the objective of developing a lithium and rare metals mine operation by 2014-Q4.

Additionally in 2011, Rock Tech will initiate work programs on its early exploration projects in the James Bay Region and Val d'Or Mining District of Quebec.  The objective for these projects is have a lithium and rare metals/earths discovery, establish a NI43-101 resource, and advance them to economically feasible mining operations.

Investment Highlights

• Advanced-stage exploration project with an historic resource of 9.8 million tons grading 1.18% lithium oxide at the Company's Georgia Lake lithium project based on 33,000+ metres of drilling.
• Phase I of drill program completed - 7,600+ metres of drilling to conform historic resource to NI 43-101 standards
• One ton bulk sample and metallurgical analysis currently underway to test recovery rates of separation methodologies, and for processing of battery-quality lithium carbonate;
• Phase II of drill program ready for execution to expand and update lithium resource at Georgia Lake.
• Early-stage exploration projects with excellent addresses - the Kapiwak Project borders on Lithium One's deposit (James Bay, Quebec); the Lacorne Project surrounds Canada Lithium's project that will be the world's next hard-rock lithium producing mine.
• Strong financial and corporate development partners.  The Company is currently financed through the completion of NI43-101 resource estimation and has corporate financing partners to complete Definitive Study at Georgia Lake.
• Production target at Georgia Lake: Fourth Quarter of 2014.

Chief Properties

Rock Tech's core projects consist of the Georgia Lake Project in the Thunder Bay Mining District of NW Ontario, where a historic resource is being brought to NI 43-101 standards; the Kapiwak Project in the James Bay Region of northern Quebec, a new lithium and rare metals discovery region; and the Lacorne Project in the Val d'Or Mining District of eastern Quebec, where a lithium mine is projected to be in production in 2012.

Georgia Lake Lithium Project (NW Ontario)

Rock Tech's 100% owned Georgia Lake lithium project covers 11,481 hectares in the Thunder Bay Mining District of northwest Ontario consisting of 81 mining leases and 64 mining claims over three claim blocks.  The original claim blocks, acquired in December 2009, were the subject of 33,000+ metres of drilling in the 1950s, resulting in an historic resource of 9.8 million tons with an average grade of 1.18% lithium oxide*.

The Company has recently completed a 7,600+ metre drill program whose objective is to conform the historic resource at its Nama Creek and Conway claim blocks to NI 43-101 standards by June 2011.  Additionally, metallurgical analysis is underway to provide insight into recovery rates utilizing a variety of separation methodologies that can be applied to spodumene concentrate to produce battery-quality lithium carbonate.

The Georgia Lake project has the potential for significant lithium resource expansion and, to date, ground and drill results have indicated showings of other rare metals such as rubidium, beryllium, niobium, cesium and tantalum.

A production decision was made by a past operator, Nama Creek Mining Corporation, in the late 1950s. Nama Creek Mining Corporation spent in excess of $5 million (CAD) at that time to construct a four compartment mine shaft to a depth of 150+ metres and to build out the infrastructure (i.e., power lines, roads, etc.) to mine lithium from spodumene ore.

The 3 to 4 year objective for Georgia Lake is to bring the project into production by 2014, capitalizing on the growing global demand for lithium products.

Kapiwak Lithium Project (James Bay, Quebec)

The Company owns a 100% interest in 499 claims covering 26,259 hectares in the Kapiwak Pegmatite Zone of the James Bay area of northern Quebec. In April 2010, Quebec was recognized by the Fraser Institute as the world's top mining jurisdiction for the third consecutive year.

The property borders Lithium One's James Bay lithium discovery to the north which has an NI 43-101 resource estimate of 22.3 million tons grading 1.3% lithium oxide. Lithium One is further developing this project with their earn-in partner Galaxy Resources of Australia. An initial evaluation indicated that the Kapiwak lithium property is located in a promising exploration area for spodumene-bearing pegmatites and geological conditions favorable for the discovery of lithium, tantalum and other rare metals.

Aside from the Lithium One discovery, there are three other lithium and rare metals discoveries in the vicinity of the Kapiwak lithium project: Dios Exploration/Sirios Resources' project to the south and Nemaska Exploration's and Critical Element's projects to the southeast. These discoveries, along with the results of a 2009 exploration program, indicate the potential for a new lithium and rare metals discovery on the property.

The field exploration program conducted in 2009 consisted of field prospecting, sampling and sample assaying. Surface samples assayed up to 2.9% lithium oxide and contained anomalous values of a number of rare metals such as beryllium, niobium and tantalum.

Rock Tech's short-term objective is to conduct field geological work including prospecting, sampling and mapping. Based on the results of the planned geological work, a program consisting of trenching, geophysical surveying and drilling will follow.

The long-term objective for the Kapiwak project is to develop a lithium and rare metals resource that can be brought to the production stage.

Lacorne Lithium Project (Val d'Or Mining District, Quebec)

The Lacorne lithium property covers 31,049 hectares of land over 630 mineral claims.  This property is located in the vicinity of several historical lithium and molybdenum prospects/mines, located one to three kilometres from different claim blocks on the property, including the following:

• The eastern claims of the property surround the most active lithium project in the region.  This project, owned and operated by Canada Lithium Corporation, will commence production in 2012.
• Other historical prospects in the vicinity include Vallee Lithium, Valor Lithium, Duval Lithium, Lacorne Lithium, International Lithium and Moly Hill Mine.
• At least three historical pegmatite occurrences are located on the Lacorne property and are reported to contain beryl and columbite-tantalite crystals.

For the Lacorne project, the Company has planned a two-phase exploration program for 2011 and 2012, which will include airborne geophysical surveys (Phase I) and prospecting, mapping, sampling and trenching (Phase 2).
