I would also like to sincerely thank Klaus Schmitz, who has been with the company since 2021 for his dedicated work for Rock Tech in various positions, which has been essential in turning our vision of building the first German lithium converter into reality. We wish Klaus all the best for his future endeavours."
About Rock Tech Lithium Inc.
Rock Tech's vision is to supply the electric vehicle and battery industry with sustainable, locally produced lithium, targeting a 100-per-cent recycling rate. To ensure resilient supply chains, the company plans to build lithium converters at the doorstep of its customers, beginning with the company's proposed lithium hydroxide converter in Guben, Brandenburg, Germany. The second converter is planned to be built in Ontario, Canada. Rock Tech Lithium plans to source raw material from its own Georgia Lake spodumene project in the Thunder Bay mining district of Ontario, Canada, and procure from other ESG-compliant (environmental, social and governance) mines. Ultimately, Rock Tech's goal is to create a closed-loop lithium production system. Rock Tech has gathered one of the strongest teams in the industry to close the most pressing gap in the clean mobility story. The company has adopted strict environmental, social and governance standards and is developing a proprietary refining process to increase efficiency and sustainability further.
We seek Safe Harbor.
