Rock Tech Lithium Expands Made-in-Ontario Lithium Supply Chain with Strategic Acquisition of Victory ProjectJune 22, 2026 2:22 AM
PR Newswire (US) High-grade spodumene occurrences strategically located near Trans-Canada Highway, CPKC rail, and power infrastructure adds potential feedstock opportunity for Rock Tech's Ontario mine-to-converter platform, linking Northwestern Ontario resources with the proposed Red Rock Converter.Rock Tech Lithium has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Victory Project, a 9,875-hectare lithium exploration property in Northwestern Ontario from Bounty Gold Corp. and Last Resort Resources Ltd.The Victory Project hosts two known spodumene-bearing LCT pegmatite occurrences at surface, with selective grab samples returning up to 5.11% Li2O at the Last Resort pegmatite and up to 3.48% Li2O at the Bounty pegmatite.The two known spodumene-bearing occurrences are located approximately 6 km apart, defining a broad linear area of exploration interest.The Property benefits from proximity to key infrastructure, including the Trans-Canada Highway, rail access, electrical transmission infrastructure and a natural gas pipeline, supporting exploration activities and, if warranted by future exploration results and technical studies, potential future development opportunities.The Victory Project represents an early step in Rock Tech's regional consolidation strategy, aimed at building a broader Ontario lithium supply chain to support future economic prosperity and continued sovereignty, anchored by Georgia Lake and connected to the proposed Red Rock Converter.TORONTO, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Rock Tech Lithium Inc. ("Rock Tech" or the "Company") (TSXV: RCK) (OTCQX: RCKTF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement dated June 17, 2026 (the "Option Agreement") with Bounty Gold Corp. ("Bounty") and Last Resort Resources Ltd. ("Last Resort") to acquire a 100% interest in the Victory Project (the "Victory Project", the "Project" or the "Property"), a 9,875-hectare lithium exploration property located approximately 45 km east of Kenora in Northwestern Ontario. If exploration is successful and subject to further technical evaluation, the Victory Project could represent a potential future source of lithium-bearing minerals for Rock Tech's planned made-in-Ontario lithium supply chain, supporting the province's EV and battery ecosystem and its emerging advanced manufacturing and defence sectors. Victory complements the Company's Georgia Lake Project and proposed Red Rock Converter by adding an additional exploration-stage lithium property to the Company's Ontario asset portfolio. The Property hosts two known spodumene-bearing lithium-cesium-tantalum ("LCT") pegmatite occurrences at surface and is located near the Trans-Canada Highway and nearby CPKC rail access. Rock Tech believes the Property provides prospective exploration opportunities and, if successfully advanced, could represent a potential future source of spodumene feedstock for the Company's broader Ontario mine-to-converter strategy, subject to successful exploration and further technical evaluation.Developing domestic sources of lithium feedstock is increasingly important as Ontario, Canada and allied economies seek to build secure, domestic critical minerals supply chains. By combining exploration and development opportunities with downstream conversion capacity, Rock Tech aims to help reduce dependence on overseas processing while supporting the growth of a secure North American lithium supply chain serving the EV and battery ecosystem and helping supply critical materials required by emerging advanced manufacturing and defence sectors.Exploration Potential in an Infrastructure-Proximal SettingThe Victory Project hosts two known spodumene-bearing pegmatite occurrences: the Last Resort pegmatite and the Bounty pegmatite. These occurrences contain observed spodumene-bearing pegmatite mineralization at surface and provide multiple targets for future exploration.The Last Resort pegmatite is the Company's initial priority target. Selective grab sampling from the occurrence has returned values of up to 5.11% Li2O. The occurrence has been mapped at surface over approximately 200 metres of strike length and up to approximately 30 metres in width. The occurrence has not been drill-tested, and the extent of mineralization beyond the currently mapped exposure, including its depth extent, grade continuity and overall geometry, has not been established. Additional exploration, including drilling, will be required to evaluate the extent, continuity and significance of the observed mineralization.The Bounty pegmatite, located approximately 6 km from the Last Resort pegmatite, has been mapped at surface over approximately 375 metres of strike length and up to approximately 60 metres in width. Spodumene-bearing samples from the Bounty occurrence have returned values of up to 3.48% Li2O. The occurrence has not been drill-tested, and its depth extent, grade continuity and overall geometry have not been established.The approximately 6 km linear area between the two known spodumene-bearing occurrences remains largely unexplored and will be evaluated through future exploration programs. Rock Tech intends to evaluate this corridor through staged fieldwork, including prospecting, geological mapping, sampling and, subject to results, targeted drilling. While mineralized continuity between the Last Resort and Bounty occurrences has not been established, the corridor represents a logical focus for future exploration.Strategic Fit Within Rock Tech's Ontario Lithium PlatformRock Tech's Ontario strategy is anchored by the Georgia Lake Project and the proposed Red Rock Converter. The addition of the Project provides the Company with additional exposure to lithium exploration opportunities in Northwestern Ontario and complements its existing asset base in the province.The Georgia Lake Project and the Victory Project are separate mineral properties. Information, mineralization, mineral resources, mineral reserves and exploration results relating to the Georgia Lake Project are not necessarily indicative of mineralization, exploration potential or future results at the Victory Project.Victory fits within Rock Tech's broader strategy of building a regional lithium platform around infrastructure-proximal assets that can be integrated into Ontario's existing transportation network. Similar to Georgia Lake, the Victory Project benefits from proximity to established road and rail infrastructure, including the Trans-Canada Highway and nearby CPKC rail access. These characteristics are important to Rock Tech's development approach, which is focused on identifying assets that can be evaluated through staged exploration programs and, if warranted by future exploration results and technical studies, considered for further advancement.The Project is located approximately five hours by road from Rock Tech's proposed Red Rock Converter, creating a geographic connection within the Company's Ontario mine-to-converter strategy. If future exploration is successful and subsequent technical studies support further advancement of the Project, Victory may provide Rock Tech with additional optionality around future spodumene feedstock supply. Potential development and processing alternatives, including off-site processing, integration with existing or future regional infrastructure, or other project-specific pathways, would be evaluated only after additional exploration, technical studies and metallurgical testwork.The acquisition of Victory reflects Rock Tech's disciplined approach to building a regional lithium platform in Northwestern Ontario. By securing prospective lithium assets located near existing infrastructure and within reach of the proposed Red Rock Converter, the Company continues to strengthen the foundations of a made-in-Ontario critical minerals supply chain capable of supporting future battery and advanced manufacturing industries."The Victory Project is a natural fit within our strategy of building a made-in-Ontario lithium supply chain," said Mirco Wojnarowicz, CEO of Rock Tech. "Ontario has the resources, infrastructure and existing industrial base to become a leader in battery materials, including for the EV, advanced manufacturing and defence sectors. This strategic acquisition gives Rock Tech exposure to a prospective spodumene-bearing property with strong infrastructure attributes, while the option structure allows us to test the project through staged exploration before committing the majority of the acquisition consideration."Transaction TermsUnder the Option Agreement, Rock Tech may acquire a 100% interest in the Victory Project by making aggregate payments of CAD $600,000 in cash and issuing CAD $400,000 in Rock Tech common shares over a 24-month period. The payments are staged, with CAD $150,000 in cash and CAD $100,000 in shares payable on signing, and the balance payable in two additional tranches on the 12-month and 24-month anniversaries of the Option Agreement.The vendors will retain a 2.0% net smelter return royalty on the Victory Project. Rock Tech will have the right to purchase 1.0% of the NSR royalty for CAD $1.0 million at any time prior to a construction decision.Additional milestone payments will become payable only upon the publication of future NI 43-101 (defined below) compliant mineral resource estimates, if any, on the Victory Project, including CAD $500,000 upon publication of a maiden mineral resource estimate of at least 10 million tonnes grading at least 1.0% Li2O, CAD $1.0 million upon publication of a measured and indicated mineral resource estimate exceeding 25 million tonnes grading at least 1.0% Li2O, and CAD $1.5 million upon publication of a measured and indicated mineral resource estimate exceeding 50 million tonnes grading at least 1.0% Li2O. The foregoing resource thresholds are contractual payment milestones only and do not constitute estimates of mineral resources or mineral reserves on the Victory Project.The transaction remains subject to customary conditions, including acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. Any common shares issued pursuant to the Option Agreement will be subject to applicable securities law resale restrictions and any hold periods required by the TSX Venture Exchange. The transaction is an arm's-length transaction and no finder's fees are payable in connection with the transaction."We have always believed the Victory Project is prospective for additional exploration, and the surface geology has consistently supported that view," said Jace Angell, President of Last Resort. "Rock Tech brings an established presence in Ontario and a clear strategy for building an integrated lithium business in the province. We are pleased to see the project move into its next phase.""Rock Tech's Ontario strategy makes it a strong technical and strategic partner for the Victory Project," said Jason Leblanc, President of Bounty Gold. "The Property is still at an early exploration stage, but the known spodumene-bearing occurrences, infrastructure setting and regional context support a systematic exploration program. We look forward to seeing the results of Rock Tech's planned work program."Supporting Rock Tech's Ontario Investment StrategyThe Victory Project reflects Rock Tech's continued commitment to investing in Ontario's critical minerals sector. Together with the Georgia Lake Project and the proposed Red Rock Converter, the Victory Project strengthens the Company's Ontario asset base and expands its portfolio of prospective lithium exploration properties.Rock Tech intends to advance the Victory Project through a staged exploration program focused on validating known spodumene-bearing occurrences, testing extensions along strike and evaluating the underexplored corridor between the Last Resort and Bounty occurrences.The Victory Project is an early-stage exploration property. While spodumene-bearing pegmatites have been identified at surface, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and there can be no assurance that further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral resource or that the Project will ultimately prove to be economically viable.Technical DisclosureCertain technical information contained in this news release is derived from historical exploration work completed by previous property owners and operators. While Rock Tech has reviewed available historical records, the Company has not independently verified all historical exploration information and readers should not place undue reliance on historical exploration results pending completion of additional verification work. The historical exploration information referenced in this news release should not be interpreted as a mineral resource estimate or mineral reserve estimate. Additional exploration activities, including field verification, confirmatory sampling and drilling, will be required to verify historical results and evaluate the extent, continuity and significance of the reported mineralization.The scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Cameron Andrews, P.Eng., a "qualified person" as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").The sample results disclosed in this news release are from selective grab samples and are not necessarily representative of mineralization across the Victory Project. Grab samples are inherently selective in nature and should not be relied upon as representative of average grade, thickness or continuity of mineralization. Rock Tech has reviewed available historical reports, sampling records and assay information provided by the vendors; however, the Company has not completed independent field verification, confirmatory sampling or twinning of historical results. The Company has not independently verified all historical or vendor-generated assay results and therefore readers should not place undue reliance on such information until additional verification work has been completed. The qualified person has not completed sufficient work to independently verify all such historical exploration information.The Victory Project does not currently host a mineral resource estimate or mineral reserve estimate.The potential processing pathways discussed in this news release are conceptual in nature. No metallurgical testwork, mining study, preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility study or feasibility study has been completed on the Victory Project by Rock Tech to support any such processing or development alternative, and there can be no assurance that any such alternative will prove technically or economically viable.On behalf of the ManagementMirco Wojnarowicz

Rock Tech Advances Georgia Lake Lithium Project, Identifies Potential Pathway to Reduce Processing CAPEX by Up to 50 per centMay 19, 2026 9:45 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Optical sorting test works, co-financed through Ontario Critical Minerals Innovation Fund, identifies a potential pathway to improve project efficiency and lower capital and operating costsKey program highlights include:Ontario's Critical Minerals Processing Fund ("CMIF") helped demonstrate potential to unlock real value at the Georgia Lake Project.Collaboration with Queen's University and STARK Resources demonstrated the effectiveness of government, industry, and research partnership.Ore-sorting test work removed approximately 25 to 45 per cent of waste material before downstream processing. 1The upgraded material stream improved ore quality by approximately 1.4x to 1.8x1.Early engineering work identified a potential pathway to materially reduce future crushing and concentrator capital costs by up to 50 per cent1.The Georgia Lake Project further supports Rock Tech's broader Ontario mine-to-converter strategy alongside the planned Red Rock Converter.1 Based on preliminary test work on representative Georgia Lake material and subject to further engineering, validation and integration into future technical studies.TORONTO, May 19, 2026 /CNW/ - Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (TSXV: RCK) (OTCQX: RCKTF) (FWB: RJIB) (WKN: A1XF0V) (the "Company" or "Rock Tech") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its Ontario Critical Minerals Innovation Fund supported ore-sorting program for the Georgia Lake Lithium Project ("the Project") in Northern Ontario. The Project is part of Rock Tech's broader Ontario mine-to-converter strategy and, alongside the planned Red Rock Converter, supports the development of a domestic, made-in-Canada sovereign defence and battery materials supply chain. Completed in partnership with Queen's University and STARK Resources, the ore sorting program evaluated UV Laser-based sorting from Optimum N.V. and X-ray Transmission ("XRT") sensor-based sorting from allmineral Aufbereitungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG for the pre-concentration of mineralized material from the Project (refer to Press Release – Rock Tech Lithium Receives $388,074 in Funding from Ontario's Critical Minerals Innovation Fund, dated June 23, 2025).Test work was conducted on two sample sets: selected drill core used to establish and calibrate sorting algorithms, and a blended surface-derived sample used for small-scale testing. Testing was completed under controlled conditions at both ore sorting test facilities using pilot-scale equipment.The program indicates a pathway to improve process efficiency and reduce future capital and operating costs, which, if successful, could strengthen the long-term competitiveness of the Project and support a more resilient Ontario critical minerals supply chain.The results provide a foundation to restart key Georgia Lake development activities, including drilling, additional cost-optimizing engineering, and workstreams that support a future Definitive Feasibility Study."These results demonstrate how government, industry and research partnerships produce innovation that can directly strengthen the economics and competitiveness of strategically important critical minerals projects," said Mirco Wojnarowicz, CEO of Rock Tech. "Backed by the Ontario government's investment through the CMIF, our work positions Georgia Lake to be more resilient and competitive through lithium price cycles and supports Rock Tech's broader integrated lithium strategy in Northern Ontario, which can help bolster economic security and long-term defence readiness through the development of a made-in-Canada critical minerals supply chain."Government-Industry-Research Partnership Unlocks Ontario Critical Minerals InnovationWith support from the Ontario government, through the Critical Minerals Innovation Fund, Rock Tech worked with Queen's University and STARK Resources, a Germany-based specialist in sensor-based ore sorting and mineral processing technology, to evaluate practical technologies that improve processing efficiency, reduce waste, strengthen the long-term competitiveness of the Project, and support Ontario's efforts to build a more resilient domestic critical minerals supply chain."The Critical Minerals Processing Lab is proud to have collaborated with Rock Tech Lithium and Stark Resources on this important project, which advanced our understanding of lithium mineral processing characteristics and contributed to the advancement of the Georgia Lake project" said Charlotte Gibson, Assistant Professor & Associate Head for Robert M Buchan Department of Mining. "This innovative process development work was made possible through the support of the CMIF, whose investment is helping drive critical minerals processing innovation and strengthen Ontario's critical minerals value chain."Advancing the Next Phase of Development at the Georgia Lake Lithium ProjectThe results arrive at an important moment for Ontario's critical minerals sector. While lithium markets have experienced near-term volatility, governments and industry across North America and Europe continue to move aggressively to secure regional battery and critical minerals supply chains.The Project was the subject of a 2022 Pre-Feasibility Study, which outlined a conventional mine and concentrator development concept based on a 1.0 million tonne per year concentrator. The 2022 PFS contemplated a 9-year mine life, targeted production of approximately 100,000 tonnes per year of 6% spodumene concentrate, and an Indicated Mineral Resource of approximately 10.6 million tonnes at 0.88 per cent Li2O and an Inferred Mineral Resource of approximately 4.2 million tonnes at 1.00 per cent Li2O.The PFS estimated a pre-tax NPV of USD$223 million, an after-tax NPV of USD$146 million, a pre-tax IRR of 47.8 per cent, and an after-tax IRR of 35.6%, based on an average life-of-mine SC6 price of USD$1,500 per tonne. The PFS also estimated pre-production capital costs of USD$192 million, life-of-project capital costs of USD$291 million, total life-of-project operating costs of USD$536 million, and AISC of USD$1,082 per tonne of concentrate (see Press Release - Rock Tech Lithium completes Pre-Feasibility Study for its Georgia Lake Project dated November 16, 2022).Against this PFS baseline, the CMIF-supported ore sorting results indicate a potential pathway to further improve project economics in future technical studies. The observed 1.4x to 1.8x upgrade factor means that sorted material can carry materially higher lithium grade into downstream processing than the original feed stream, improving concentrator efficiency and potentially allowing lower-grade material to be considered in future mine planning scenarios.Similarly, the potential to reduce crushing and concentrator plant capital costs by up to 50 per cent is expected to be driven by a combination of ore sorting and plant specification optimization, providing an opportunity to optimize overall plant design. If confirmed through further engineering and study work, this could materially improve the capital intensity and investment case for the next phase of Georgia Lake development.As part of this renewed focus, Rock Tech has begun preparations for a potential future drilling program and the next phase of technical studies, including workstreams that could support a Definitive Feasibility Study. These activities would be designed to support resource growth, improve geological confidence, and provide additional data for future mine planning and project development work.Supporting Rock Tech's Ontario Mine-to-Converter Strategy The successful completion of the CMIF-supported ore sorting program strengthens this strategy by indicating a potential pathway to improve the cost structure and development flexibility of the Project. By reducing the amount of waste material processed through the concentrator, ore sorting may support lower operating costs, improve processing efficiency, and provide greater optionality in future mine planning and throughput scenarios."Georgia Lake remains foundational to Rock Tech's Ontario strategy," said Dirk Harbecke, Chairman of Rock Tech. "These results strengthen the project's long-term economics and profitability and reinforce the strategic importance of an integrated lithium supply chain in Ontario. As North America and Europe work to secure reliable sources of critical minerals, projects like Georgia Lake and the Red Rock Converter become increasingly important pieces of allied industrial infrastructure."Next StepsBuilding on the successful outcomes of the program, Rock Tech expects that a future value engineering phase would evaluate the combined impact of ore sorting integration, plant design optimization, and alternative execution strategies across the crushing plant, concentrator plant, and related infrastructure. The results of the CMIF-supported program are conceptual in nature and do not define final economic outcomes, mineral reserve estimates, or plant-scale design changes. Any potential impact on capital costs, operating costs, project economics, mineral reserves, or development plans will require further engineering, feasibility-level studies, and appropriate technical disclosure.Ontario Innovation Supporting a Stronger Critical Minerals Supply Chain "Ontario is building a made-in-Canada critical minerals supply chain that creates jobs, strengthens our economic security, and reduces our reliance on foreign adversaries," said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. "Through the Critical Minerals Innovation Fund, our government is backing Ontario innovation that lowers costs, unlocks investment, and accelerates responsible mining development in the North. The success of this project shows how Ontario can lead the world in critical minerals, battery materials, and the technologies that will power the future."Qualified Persons The technical content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Cameron Andrews, P.Eng., General Manager, Canada for Rock Tech Lithium, and Dian Heinrich Page, Pr.

Rock Tech Lithium Announces Plans to Dual-List on NASDAQ and Filing of Short Form Base Shelf ProspectusApril 24, 2026 9:00 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)
Company Files Preliminary Short Form Base Shelf Prospectus and AIF and continues to advance NASDAQ Dual Listing via MJDS ProcessFinal Base Shelf Prospectus, if receipted, will be valid for 25 months and is intended to provide the Company with capital markets flexibilityTORONTO, April 24, 2026 /CNW/ - Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (TSXV: RCK) (OTCQX: RCKTF) (FWB: RJIB) (WKN: A1XF0V) (the "Company" or "Rock Tech") is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus ("Base Shelf Prospectus") and Annual Information Form ("AIF") with the securities regulators in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. These filings represent a significant and deliberate step in the Company's strategic roadmap — which the Company expects may be used, subject to receipt and regulatory approvals, in connection with a potential NASDAQ dual-listing through the Multi-Jurisdictional Disclosure System ("MJDS"), the established bilateral framework between Canadian and U.S. capital markets regulators.
NASDAQ Dual-Listing Readiness via MJDS
Under the MJDS framework, eligible Canadian issuers may file a U.S. registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Form F-10, which is primarily based on Canadian disclosure documents, including the Company's base shelf prospectus. This bilateral system substantially reduces regulatory duplication, cost, and processing time, which may streamline the disclosure process for a NASDAQ cross-listing, subject to SEC effectiveness and NASDAQ approval. Rock Tech's existing TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") listing, combined with its 12-month-plus Canadian reporting history and qualifying public float, positions the Company as MJDS-eligible. The NASDAQ filing remains subject to NASDAQ approval.25-Month Capital Flexibility Window
The final Base Shelf Prospectus, if receipted, will be valid for a period of 25 months from the date of receipt. During this window, Rock Tech retains the option to access capital markets from time to time and in tranches aligned with project milestones — without requiring a full regulatory review for each potential future offering. This significantly reduces execution risk and cost in time-sensitive financing situations.Institutional Credibility and Market Profile
A filed Base Shelf Prospectus is commonly used by more established TSXV-listed issuers and is intended to support corporate governance practices, capital markets readiness, and financing flexibility. It is standard practice among established TSXV-listed resource and technology companies operating at Rock Tech's scale. The filing reinforces Rock Tech's positioning as a strategic, investment-ready critical minerals platform."This filing is about building institutional-grade capital markets infrastructure for tomorrow. Filing our Shelf Prospectus is an important step in preparing for a potential NASDAQ dual-listing via the MJDS process. A NASDAQ listing, if achieved, is a transformative re-rating event for Rock Tech. It opens our story to the full depth of the North American institutional investor base at exactly the moment our project pipeline — Guben, Red Rock, Georgia Lake — is entering its most consequential phase," says Rock Tech's CEO, Mirco Wojnarowicz.Rock Tech is advancing toward a NASDAQ dual-listing as a cornerstone of its institutional investor strategy. With the Guben Converter holding EU CRMA Strategic Project status and a full permit and engineering package, the Red Rock Converter project in Ontario, Canada carrying a CAD $2.3 billion NPV and a committed capital structure under the GP/LP framework, and the Georgia Lake Mine in Ontario positioned to create North America's first fully integrated mine-to-battery-grade lithium supply chain, Rock Tech believes the NASDAQ listing, if completed, could serve as a significant re-rating catalyst — expanding visibility, research coverage, and shareholder liquidity across the world's deepest capital market.On behalf of the Management
