Core Viewpoint - Li-FT Power Ltd. has announced the commencement of a drilling program at the Yellowknife Lithium Project, scheduled for August 25, 2025, focusing on high-grade spodumene intercepts [1][27]. Drilling Program Details - The 2025 drilling program will consist of 10 holes totaling 3,445 meters, targeting the Shorty (2,655 m) and Nite (790 m) dykes [2][5]. - Drilling will be conducted at inferred spacing of 100 meters to a true vertical depth of 300-350 meters from the surface [2][5]. - The Shorty pegmatite corridor is at least 1.4 km long and up to 100 m wide, with individual dykes varying from 2 to 40 m in width [6][19]. Targeted Areas and Historical Results - The Shorty dyke will have eight new holes drilled, focusing on extending previously identified spodumene intercepts, including notable results of 1.24% Li2O over 53 m and 0.97% Li2O over 33 m from earlier campaigns [7][8]. - The Nite pegmatite complex will have two new deep holes drilled, targeting areas with previous intercepts of 1.38% Li2O over 11 m and 0.63% Li2O over 23 m [19][25]. Current Mineral Resource Estimate - The current mineral resource estimate for the Yellowknife Lithium Project includes 50.4 million tonnes grading 1.00% Li2O, equating to 506,000 tonnes of Li2O, positioning it as one of the largest spodumene projects in North America [25][27]. - The project ranks among the top 10 largest spodumene projects in the Americas based on the estimated resource and grade [27]. Company Overview - Li-FT Power Ltd. is focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of lithium pegmatite projects in Canada, with the Yellowknife Lithium Project being its flagship [29].
