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 Setting

The 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 Platform

Rock 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 Terms

Under 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 Strategy

The 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.

Lightshift Energy announced six new battery energy storage projects at municipal light departments in Massachusetts. The projects serve Georgetown, Ipswich, Groton, Princeton, Ashburnham and Marblehead and will add over 23 MW of storage capacity to a portfolio that already includes six operational projects, marking the latest phase of Lightshift’s statewide program.

The six new projects include:

• Georgetown Municipal Light Department: 3 MW
• Ipswich Electric Department: 5 MW
• Groton Electric Light Department (Groton 3): 4 MW
• Princeton Municipal Light Department: 3.5 MW
• Ashburnham Municipal Light Plant: 3 MW
• Marblehead Municipal Light Department: 5MW

Together, the new projects are expected to deliver more than $90 million in lifetime savings for participating utilities and their ratepayers.

Each battery system charges during off-peak hours when electricity is cheap and discharges during high-demand periods when costs spike, a practice known as peak shaving. Transmission and capacity charges during peak demand events are among the largest drivers of rising electricity rates in Massachusetts. By strategically reducing load during these peaks, the batteries directly lower costs for municipal utilities and the communities they serve. By shifting energy from periods of lower demand to periods of peak demand, the system also helps reduce the need for fossil fuel generation when it is most heavily relied upon.

Lightshift has developed a portfolio-based model where projects are mobilized together and, in the aggregate, provide a lower cost and larger scale capacity resource to the grid. This approach enables municipal utilities to capture the economies of scale typically available only through much larger individual projects, while delivering faster deployment and greater locational value at the distribution level.

Key to this effort has been Lightshift’s partnership with the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC), the largest provider of asset-owned generation for municipal light departments in New England and a leading public power joint action agency in the US. By working in close coordination with joint action agencies like MMWEC, Lightshift can maximize deployment across large membership groups to achieve speed, value and cost advantages that aren’t otherwise available in the market.

"Massachusetts' municipal utilities have often paved the way on the frontier of grid modernization, and these projects continue that tradition," said Rory Jones, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Lightshift Energy. "What makes this program particularly unique is the portfolio strategy. By developing these projects as a fleet across the state, we’re able to dramatically reduce cost and increase speed to interconnect, maximizing savings, reliability, and market value for participating communities. For municipal utilities looking to rapidly manage rising energy costs and strengthen their systems, this model provides a powerful blueprint."

A seventh project is in construction and will be announced soon, while Ipswich is in the final stages of construction. An additional eight Lightshift projects are in advanced stages of development in the Commonwealth.

REV Renewables (REV), an LS Power company and a leading developer, owner, and operator of renewable energy and energy storage projects, marked a major milestone with the commissioning of its Tumbleweed Energy Storage facility in Kern County, California. Celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside local officials, community leaders, and industry partners, the project is the first eight-hour battery energy storage system in California—ushering in a new era of grid reliability and clean energy integration.

Developed in partnership with Ava Community Energy and California Community Power (CC Power) on behalf of its participating members CleanPowerSF, Peninsula Clean Energy, Redwood Coast Energy Authority, San José Clean Energy, Silicon Valley Clean Energy, Sonoma Clean Power, Valley Clean Energy, all Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) serving Northern California, the project was brought online ahead of California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) requirements. The early delivery underscores the partners’ shared commitment to accelerating the state’s clean energy transition while enhancing grid resilience.

The Tumbleweed facility represents a significant shift in how battery storage supports the electric grid. While energy storage projects just five years ago primarily provided ancillary grid services lasting seconds or minutes, the industry has evolved toward four-hour systems capable of delivering energy over extended periods to support grid operations and reliability. At eight hours, Tumbleweed is among the first projects capable of bulk-shifting solar energy generated during the day to power homes and businesses overnight, helping to reduce emissions while strengthening grid reliability.

"As the first eight-hour long duration energy storage project developed under the California Public Utilities Commission’s Integrated Resource Plan procurement requirements, Tumbleweed demonstrates how forward-looking policy can most affordably accelerate deployment of the next generation of grid infrastructure," said Leuwam Tesfai, the CPUC's Executive Director. "These types of projects will help create a more resilient, reliable, affordable, and carbon-free electric system for California communities.”

Unlike shorter-duration systems, eight-hour storage further matures the role batteries play on the grid. By extending discharge capability, the system is expected to reliably shift large volumes of renewable energy generated throughout the day, helping further reduce dependence on fossil-fuel generation, lower emissions, and support California’s long-term climate and reliability goals.

Ava Community Energy and CC Power were instrumental in advancing the project on an accelerated timeline. Both organizations represent CCAs that are deeply rooted in their communities and focused on delivering clean, reliable, and affordable power. Their leadership in bringing this project online ahead of regulatory deadlines highlights the growing role of local energy providers in driving innovation. "As a not-for-profit public agency, we're committed to providing cleaner energy at competitive rates to the communities in Alameda and San Joaquin counties that we serve," said Howard Chang, CEO of Ava Community Energy. "Long-duration storage projects like Tumbleweed are critical to delivering on that commitment. Our partnership with REV on this eight-hour battery helps us strengthen grid reliability and accelerate California's clean energy transition."

"The Tumbleweed project is a landmark achievement for California’s clean energy transition and the first eight-hour battery energy storage system in CAISO,” said Ed Sondey, Chief Executive Officer of REV Renewables. “It reflects REV’s leadership in developing innovative storage solutions at scale and marks another important milestone as we continue to grow our business and support a more reliable, resilient grid. We are grateful for the partnership and collaboration of Ava Community Energy and CC Power, whose shared commitment and vision were instrumental in bringing this groundbreaking project to fruition."

According to Alexander Morris, General Manager of CC Power, “We’re pleased to have partnered with REV Renewables and have been impressed with their successful development of this innovative project. The Tumbleweed long-duration storage project represents CC Power’s first operational resource and serves as an example of the innovative and emerging technology resources that CC Power was formed to procure on behalf of its members. We are excited about this milestone moment for California, what it says about the role of CCAs in proactively advancing the state’s goals for clean, reliable energy, and how joint action through CC Power can be a valuable tool to achieve those goals.”

As part of the ribbon-cutting celebration, REV Renewables will announce a $5,000 community investment in the Kern County Economic Development Women in STEM Scholarship program and a $2,500 community investment in Rosamond Little League, supporting educational opportunities, youth development, and long-term community vitality in the region.

The Tumbleweed Energy Storage Facility supports California’s ambitious clean energy and decarbonization goals by enabling greater use of renewable energy resources while enhancing grid reliability during periods of peak demand.

Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA), the leading energy and environmental advocate for families and businesses, commends the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for its commitment to protecting consumers in its recent order on large load interconnections.

“Over the past year, there has been a lot of angst over how to address consumer concerns around potential cost shifts associated with connecting large energy users, including artificial intelligence data centers, to the grid,” said CEA Executive Vice President for Public Policy and State Affairs Marc Brown. “We look forward to reviewing the final order. FERC appears to have recognized the importance of avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach to large load interconnections, which is consistent with CEA’s position.”

Brown emphasized that data centers play an increasingly important role in America’s national security, economic competitiveness, and digital infrastructure, and that legitimate consumer concerns should be addressed through facts and transparency rather than unsubstantiated fear-mongering on impacts to energy and water systems.

“Hopefully this order will stymie some of the vocal and irrational opposition to data centers. We need to move the conversation beyond broad-based opposition, and toward a more practical, fact-driven evaluation of these projects,” Brown added. “Each data center or large customer, and each interconnection request, should be treated independently and evaluated on its own merits, with proper dialogue with local communities. We appreciate FERC’s approach and its continued focus on protecting customers while supporting the infrastructure needed to power America’s growing digital economy.”
