Rock Tech Lithium and Siemens Canada Sign Agreements to Bring Advanced German Engineering to Ontario Lithium Converter Project
Rock Tech Lithium (RCKTF) has signed agreements with Siemens Canada to advance development of a Digital Process Twin and support the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its planned Red Rock Lithium Converter in Ontario.
Rhea-AI Summary
Rock Tech Lithium (RCKTF) has signed agreements with Siemens Canada to advance development of a Digital Process Twin and support the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its planned Red Rock Lithium Converter in Ontario.
The agreements are the first implementation phase of a March 2026 strategic memorandum of understanding that aims to bring German lithium conversion expertise and industrial digitalization technology to the project. Siemens’ Digital Twin will model plant processes, energy flows and material streams across the full project lifecycle, from feasibility through engineering, construction and operations, allowing Rock Tech to test and optimize design, efficiency, emissions and reliability before major capital is committed. Siemens will also provide specialized support in process control, instrumentation and automation architecture to Rock Tech’s DFS project team, with the DFS expected to conclude by mid-December 2026.

About Rock Tech Lithium
Rock Tech is enabling the battery age by making the battery industries in Europe and North America more independent and competitive. The Company's goal is to ensure the supply of high-quality, locally produced lithium – supporting a resilient, sustainable, and transparent value chain from mine to battery-grade material.
Rock Tech relies on responsible sourcing, state-of-the-art and proven technologies, and a clear focus on circular economy principles. The Company's lithium converter projects in Guben, Germany (24,000 tonnes LHM per year) and Ontario, Canada (up to 32,000 tonnes LCE per year) form the foundation for a stable and regional supply to the battery and automotive industries. The Guben converter has been recognized as a Strategic Project under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act.
The raw materials for Rock Tech's converter projects are intended to be sourced exclusively from verifiably ESG-compliant suppliers. In Canada, Rock Tech relies, among other sources, on its wholly-owned Georgia Lake Project, which is intended to provide a stable and sustainable supply for the North American market and is being developed in close partnership with local Indigenous communities. By integrating recycled materials, the Company aims to close the local battery loop.
With its facilities, Rock Tech intends to contribute to battery-grade material sovereignty and the achievement of climate targets. The company works in partnership with industry, policymakers, and community groups, and is committed to open communication and the highest environmental standards.
