About Rock Tech Lithium Inc.

Rock Tech is a cleantech company with operations in Canada and Germany on a mission to produce lithium hydroxide for electric vehicle batteries. The company plans to build lithium converters at the doorstep of its customers and to guarantee supply chain transparency and just-in-time delivery, beginning with the company's proposed lithium hydroxide merchant converter and refinery facility in Guben, Germany. To close the most pressing gap in the clean mobility story, Rock Tech has gathered one of the strongest teams in the industry. The company has adopted strict environmental, social and governance standards, and is developing a proprietary refining process aimed at further increasing efficiency and sustainability. Rock Tech plans to source raw material from its wholly owned Georgia Lake spodumene project located in the Thunder Bay mining district of Ontario, Canada, as well as procuring it from other responsibly producing mines. In the years to come, the company expects to also source raw material from discarded batteries. Rock Tech's goal is to create a closed-loop lithium production system.
