Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, March 12, 2013 - Rock Tech
Lithium Inc. (TSX-V: RCK; Frankfurt: RJIA) (the "Company" or "Rock
Tech") announces additional assay results from the drill program it
announced on December 10, 2012. This planned 4,600 metre drill
program included both step-out and in-fill drill holes and focused
primarily on electromagnetic conductors "A" and "C". The
electromagnetic conductors were identified on the Plumbago area of
the property during geophysical surveys in September, 2012 (click
here to view a map).
Highlights of these assay results include:
-Drill hole PB-12-20 intersected 7.00 metres of 2.06% graphitic
carbon ("Cg");
-Drill hole PB-12-20A intersected 165.79 metres of Cg at two
levels with grades ranging from 1.41% Cg to 2.21% Cg, including
127.52 metres at 2.21% Cg;
-Drill Hole PB-12-21 intersected 14.13 metres of Cg at various
depths with grades ranging from 1.68% Cg to 5.79% Cg, including
4.13 metres at 5.79% Cg.
Drill hole PB-12-20 was terminated at a depth of 33 metres and
was re-drilled as PB-12-20A at an adjacent location. These drill
holes further tested electromagnetic conductor "C" while drill hole
PB-12-21 tested the southern extension of electromagnetic conductor
"A".
"The drill results from electromagnetic conductor "C" are
showing very promising subsurface widths. We continue to build a 3D
model of the graphite mineralization intercepted in trenches and
drill holes and will begin resource estimation procedures once the
complete set of assay results are received from the lab," said
Afzaal Pirzada, Rock Tech's Vice President of Exploration and
interim CEO.
To date, the Company has received and announced assay results
for twenty one drill holes and seven trenches. Assay results for
the remaining fourteen drill holes completed during the fourth
quarter of 2012 are pending along with resubmitted core samples
from the first phase of drilling.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
All core samples are logged and split by wet diamond saw with
half sent to the lab for analysis and half stored securely on site.
The core sample lengths typically average 1 metre but vary
depending on geological boundaries. Additional QA/QC procedures
include inserting blanks and standards into the core sample stream
at industry standard intervals with duplicate core samples taken at
intervals of twenty. Core samples are prepped and analyzed by
Global Mineral Research Limited in Burnaby, British Columbia.
During analysis, the core samples are dried, pulverized, leached
and roasted at 450? Celsius and 1200? Celsius with measured weights
taken between double ignitions. The laboratories also conduct
duplicate and internal standard samples at intervals of ten as part
of their QA/QC program.
