Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, March 18, 2013 - Rock Tech
Lithium Inc. (TSX-V: RCK; Frankfurt: RJIA) (the "Company" or "Rock
Tech") announces assay results for two more drill holes 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-12-22 intersected 84.56 metres of graphitic
carbon ("Cg") at various depths with grades ranging from 1.11% Cg
to 4.42% Cg, including 50 metres at 3.08% Cg,
-Drill hole PB-12-23 intersected 117.99 metres of graphitic
carbon ("Cg") at various depths with grades ranging from 1.30% Cg
to 3.63% Cg, including 5.37 metres at 3.63% Cg, 43.08 metres at
2.28% Cg, and 41.02 metres at 2.45% Cg.
Both drill holes were located on electromagnetic conductor
'C'.
"To date we have traced the graphite mineralization of
electromagnetic conductor 'C' for 600 metres along strike with
widths ranging from 29 metres to 165 metres. While this conductor
is constrained to the south by our property boundary, it remains
open to the north and at depth. The Company is also expecting
preliminary data from metallurgical tests defining the flake size
distribution and purity of the mineralized zones delineated on
electromagnetics conductors 'A' and 'C'", 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 three drill holes and seven trenches. Assay results for
the final twelve 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.
