Building Ontario a Resilient Lithium Supply Chain: A Tested Blueprint
2:00pm - 2:20pm, 11 Sept 2025
Elks Lodge


  • Speaker: Cam Andrews
  • Company Name: Rock Tech Lithium

This presentation will explore how Rock Tech Lithium is leveraging its experience in Europe to establish a vertically integrated lithium supply chain in Ontario. By advancing the Georgia Lake Project and the Red Rock Converter, the company is creating a scalable, resilient model to produce battery-grade lithium domestically. Insights into project development will be shared and how Rock Tech’s European blueprint supports Ontario’s critical minerals strategy.

 

Georgia Lake Project
Rock Tech Lithium owns 100% of the Georgia Lake Project, a lithium hard-rock deposit that is strategically positioned within the Thunder Bay Mining District of Ontario, Canada, approximately 160 km north of Thunder Bay and 70 km north of Nipigon, with convenient access from the Nama Creek access road off the TransCanada Highway 11.

 

 

Red Rock Converter
The location of the Red Rock Converter provides vertical integration of the local lithium supplyand secures a high-quality, cost-effective supply of spodumene. The Red Rock Converter will produce battery-grade lithium products for the local downstream batteryand electric vehicle industries. The name place production capacity is considered to beup to 36,000 tonnes per year which could supply up to 900,000 electric vehicles annually.

The Red Rock site was chosen for the following reasons, among others

  • The availability of key supporting infrastructure, including proximity to BMI’s emerging multimodal logistics center and an energy grid that provides abundant green power.
  • Strong support for the project from the local community and Indigenous partners.
  • Proximity to Rock Tech’s Georgia Lake mining project.
