Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, April 8, 2013 - Rock Tech
Lithium Inc. (TSX-Venture: RCK; Frankfurt: RJIA) (the "Company" or
"Rock Tech") announces updated assay results for two drill holes at
its Lochaber graphite project in Quebec.
The assay results of these drill holes, PB-12-06 and PB-12-07,
were originally disclosed in a news release on December 03, 2012.
After interpreting the assay results, the Company sent the
remaining core intersections not initially submitted to the
laboratory.
Highlights from these two drill holes include:
-Drill hole PB-12-06 intersected 134.97 metres of graphitic
carbon ("Cg") in three intersections with grades ranging from 1.66%
Cg to 3.22% Cg, including 111 metres at 3.22% Cg, 13 metres at
1.66% Cg, and 10.97 metres at 2.50% Cg, and
-Drill Hole PB-12-07 intersected 57.58 metres of Cg in four
intersections with grades ranging from 1.92% Cg to 5.13% Cg,
including 25.66 metres at 3.16% Cg, 9.32 metres at 2.30% Cg; 8
metres at 5.13% Cg, and 14.60 metres at 1.92% Cg.
The above mentioned drill holes were the first to test the
graphite mineralization along electromagnetic conductor 'C'. The
electromagnetic conductors were identified during geophysical
surveys in September, 2012 (click here to view a map).
"We are very pleased with the larger widths of graphite
mineralization as this enhances our understanding of the underlying
geological trend of electromagnetic conductor 'C'. Furthermore, the
wider than previously thought intersections will have a positive
impact on our resource model and the planned resource estimate,"
said Afzaal Pirzada, Rock Tech's Vice President of Exploration and
interim CEO.
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.

Drill hole PB-12-06 is located at 474801E, 5055372N (NAD 1983,
Zone 18N) with azimuth 123.5? and dip -50.9?, drill hole PB-12-07
is located at location 474801E, 5055491N (NAD 1983, Zone 18N) with
azimuth 108.7? and dip -49.8?.
Additionally, Rock Tech congratulates Myron Nelson, the project
manager at the Company's Georgia Lake lithium project, on receiving
