Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (TSXV: RCK | OTCQX: RCKTF | FWB: RJIB | WKN: A1XF0V) has received positive assay results from its 2023 winter drill programme. The completed step-out drilling aims to support the expansion of known pegmatite zones at its wholly-owned Georgia Lake Lithium project in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Ontario.
Rock Tech has successfully completed 17 exploration holes for a total of 3,676m in the first months of 2023, at the Main Zone North (MZN) and McVittie deposits. It has received assay results for 10 holes drilled around MZN and seven holes that were drilled at McVittie.
“Rock Tech is pleased to have been able to follow up on our 2021-22 drill results from the MZN and past results from McVittie,” commented Robert MacDonald, Rock Tech’s project general manager.
“Positive results obtained further support the strength of the deposits and extends our understanding of the known pegmatites. We are currently preparing to follow up with a summer field programme and get ‘boots on the ground’ to support our commitment to our total land package at Georgia Lake.”
At the MZN deposit, 10 diamond drill holes totalling 2,115m were completed, and at McVittie, seven diamond drill holes totalling 1,561m were completed.
