Rock Tech Lithium Expands Ontario Footprint with $1M Victory Project Acquisition
Event summary
- Rock Tech Lithium has entered an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Victory Project, a 9,875-hectare lithium exploration property in Northwestern Ontario.
- The acquisition is structured as CAD $600,000 in cash and CAD $400,000 in shares over 24 months, with staged payments and milestone-based considerations.
- The Victory Project hosts two known spodumene-bearing pegmatite occurrences, with grab samples returning up to 5.11% Li₂O at the Last Resort pegmatite and up to 3.48% Li₂O at the Bounty pegmatite.

The big picture
Rock Tech Lithium's acquisition of the Victory Project is a strategic move to consolidate its position in Ontario's lithium supply chain. The deal underscores the growing importance of securing domestic sources of critical minerals as Canada and allied economies seek to reduce dependence on overseas processing. By combining exploration opportunities with downstream conversion capacity, Rock Tech aims to support the growth of a secure North American lithium supply chain serving the EV and battery ecosystem.
