Rock Tech Engages Technical Geological Adviser as Company Prepares to Launch Exploration Program at its Georgia Lake Lithium Project

Vancouver, BC, Canada – July 18, 2016 – Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (the "Company") (TSX-V: RCK; Frankfurt: RJIB), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a consulting agreement with Arriva Management Inc. (“Arriva”) to provide technical geologic and strategic consulting to the Company. The Company is preparing to launch an exploration program at its 100%-owned Georgia Lake lithium property. Arriva’s technical team will work alongside Rock Tech’s well experienced field explorers who have years of experience at Georgia Lake. The Company is poised to act immediately upon the recently announced closing of its private placement financing of more than C$1,000,000 earlier this month (see news release July 5, 2016).   

The Georgia Lake exploration program will have a robust and diverse field component and Arriva will assist with guidance on this program and other strategic and technical advice on the Company’s further property development. This will include broader support with scientific, exploration and strategic relationships, and the identification, evaluation and potential acquisition of additional battery metal projects.

Martin Stephan, CEO of Rock Tech Lithium, comments: “We are currently expanding the knowledge and skills of our company, on our way to becoming a key player in the field of lithium and battery metals. We are very happy to announce the agreement with Arriva, an expert firm with high project and implementation skills in the exploration and mining sector. We have known their team for years and Arriva is closing a gap in our knowledge base and will support us in accelerating the further development of our Georgia Lake lithium project as well as entering into complementing projects.”

As partial compensation for the services to be provided, Arriva will receive USD$22,500 worth of common shares of the Company. The common shares will be paid in tranches after services have been rendered, per the Policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The agreement and all securities proposed to be issued thereunder are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
