The exploration and sampling program will be carried out over 7-10 days and will include ground truthing, sampling, and prospecting of several areas that were selected from the high-resolution magnetic survey data, as well as a till sampling program to further evaluate the property for their lithium potential. The program is expected to cost CAD $56,000.00 and anticipated to commence in August 2023 and include a report with an overview of the program and its results.
The 752-hectare property is immediately contiguous to Rock Tech Lithium Inc's (RCK - TSX.V) ("Rock Tech") Georgia Lake Lithium Property and located approximately 160 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within the Thunder Bay Mining Division.
CEO, David Greenway, stated, "We were significantly encouraged by the results of airborne geophysical data at our Georgia Lake Lithium project and are now excited to be sending a ground team in for a follow up exploration program, along with upcoming drilling at the Pocitos 1 Lithium brine project in Argentina to expand our lithium resource, 2023 is shaping up to be a very exciting year for our global portfolio of lithium assets."
On October 20th, 2022, Mercedes-Benz (MBGn.DE) signed a supply agreement with Canadian-German Rock Tech to receive on average 10,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium hydroxide per year. The deal, which comes shortly after the two groups said they would explore a strategic partnership, has a value over five years of 1.5 billion euros (US$1.47 billion) and will provide enough lithium hydroxide for 150,000 cars a year, the companies said.
Further, Canada's Federal government and the Province of Ontario announced on July 6th, 2023, that they would together provide up to $15 Billion in performance incentives for Stellantis N.V. and LG Energy Solution ("LGES") development of an electric-vehicle battery plant being built in Windsor.

The Rock Tech Lithium Georgia Lake Project is host to several spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes. Lithium mineralization was discovered in 1955 and subsequently explored by several historic owners. Rock Tech's property hosts an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource, as reported in Rock Tech's Preliminary Economic Assessment filed on Rock Tech's SEDAR profile, with an effective date of March 15, 2021. The Mineral Resource is summarized in the following table:
Rock Tech's Preliminary Economic Assessment | Tonnage (MT) | Grade (Li20%) |
Measured Resources | 2.31 | 1.04 |
Indicated Resources | 4.31 | 0.99 |
Measured and Indicated | 6.62 | 1.01 |
Inferred Resources | 6.68 | 1.16 |
Management cautions that past results or discoveries on adjacent properties (i.e., Rock Tech Lithium Georgia Lake Project) may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties (i.e., Georgia Lake).
