Li-FT Power (OTCQX: LIFFF) has announced the commencement of its 2025 drilling program at the Yellowknife Lithium Project in Northwest Territories, Canada, starting August 25, 2025. The program encompasses 10 drill holes totaling 3,445 meters, focusing on the Shorty (2,655m) and Nite (790m) dykes.

The company plans to target high-grade spodumene intercepts that remain open from previous drilling campaigns. The project currently holds a mineral resource estimate of 50.4 million tonnes grading 1.00% Li2O (equivalent to 1.25 million tonnes of LCE) in the inferred category, positioning it among North America's largest spodumene projects.

Drilling will be conducted at 100m spacing to depths of 300-350m, with eight holes planned at Shorty dyke and two at Nite dyke. Previous drilling results showed significant lithium grades, including intercepts of 1.24% Li2O over 53m at Shorty dyke.

Li-FT Power (OTCQX: LIFFF) ha annunciato l'inizio del programma di perforazione 2025 presso il Yellowknife Lithium Project nei Territori Nordoccidentali, Canada, a partire dal 25 agosto 2025. Il programma prevede 10 fori di perforazione per un totale di 3.445 metri, concentrandosi sui diti Shorty (2.655 m) e Nite (790 m).

L'azienda mira a individuare intercetti di spodumene ad alto tenore, ancora aperti dalle campagne di perforazione precedenti. Attualmente, il progetto detiene una stima delle risorse minerarie di 50,4 milioni di tonnellate con una gradazione di 1,00% di Li2O (equivalente a 1,25 milioni di tonnellate di LCE) nella categoria inferita, posizionandolo tra i più grandi progetti di spodumene del Nord America.

La perforazione sarà effettuata a intervalli di 100 m fino a profondità di 300-350 m, con otto fori previsti sul dyke Shorty e due sul dyke Nite. I risultati delle perforazioni precedenti hanno mostrato tenori significativi di litio, inclusi intercetti di 1,24% Li2O su 53 m nel dyke Shorty.

Proposed Drill Program 2025

A total of 10 holes for 3,445 m of drilling is planned at the Shorty (2,655 m) and Nite (790 m) dykes (Figure 2). Drilling will focus on high-grade spodumene intercepts that remain open at the limits of drilling from the 2023 and 2024 drill campaigns. Drilling will be conducted at inferred spacing (100 m) to a true vertical depth of 300-350 m from surface on the Shorty and Nite dykes, respectively. The proposed drill programs for each of the dykes is described below and shown in Table 1, and Figures 3-10.

Shorty

The Shorty pegmatite is composed of several sub-parallel dykes that, together, define a spodumene pegmatite corridor that is at least 1.4 km long, and up to 100 m wide. The corridor is north-northeast striking, and dips between 50° and 70° to the west (Figure 3). The individual dykes vary in width from 2 to 40 m. The 2023 and 2024 drilling tested 600 m of strike length of the corridor to a true vertical depth of between 150 to 200 m.

The 2025 drill plan includes eight new holes for 2,655 m focusing on extending spodumene intercepts that remain open at the limits of the 2023 and 2024 drilling (See Figures 4-7). Five of these holes are testing the northeast end of the dyke offsetting holes YLP-0284 (1.24% Li2O over 53 m over three dykes; Figure 4), YLP-0097 (0.97% Li2O over 33 m over two dykes).

The remaining three holes at the southwest end of the dyke will offset spodumene intercepts in YLP-0079 (1.29% Li2O over 15 m) and YLP-0059 (1.04% Li2O over 12 m). Sections for these planned holes are included as figures 6 and 7.

Nite

The Nite pegmatite complex comprises a north-northeast trending corridor of parallel-trending dykes exposed for at least 1.4 km that dip between 50°-70° to the east (Figure 8). The northeast end of the corridor consists of a main dyke flanked by one or more thinner dykes, meanwhile the southwest end is comprised of a 200 m wide array of 5-10 thin dykes that appear to focus into two closely spaced principal dykes with depth. LIFT will drill two new deep holes targeting this area for a total of 790 m, offsetting from YLP-0182 (1.38% Li2O over 11 m) and YLP-0286 (0.63% Li2O over 23 m) to a vertical depth of 300 m from surface (see Figures 9 and 10).

Current Mineral Resource Estimate

The mineral resource estimate covers 8 of 13 spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes that comprise LIFT's YLP (Figure 1), including the Shorty and Nite dykes where drilling will be focussed this summer. The consolidated in-pit MRE is reported at 50.4 million tonnes (Mt) grading 1.00% Li2O for 506,000 tonnes of Li2O (1.25 million tonnes of LCE) in the inferred category, making LIFT's YLP one of the largest spodumene projects in North America (Figure 11).

Figure 11 - Scatterplot of spodumene projects in the Americas (MRE vs. Grade). After only 10 months of drilling, the estimated 50.4 million tons at a grade of 1.00% Li₂O, ranks the YLP project as one of the top 10 largest spodumene project in the Americas. Sources: Company disclosures.
