Drill Holes Completed Within Yellowknife Project
VANCOUVER - Li-FT Power Ltd. reported that 12 drill holes were completed at the Shorty, BIG East, Echo, Fi Main, & Ki pegmatites within the Yellowknife Lithium Project (“YLP”) located outside the city of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories (Figure 1). Drilling intersected significant intervals of spodumene mineralization, highlights: YLP-0283: 35 m at 1.32% Li2O, (Shorty); YLP-0274: 11 m at 1.16% Li2O, (Ki), including: 6 m at 1.87% Li2O; and YLP-0263: 12 m at 0.82% Li2O, (Echo), including: 6 m at 1.29% Li2O.
The Shorty pegmatite is formed by several sub-parallel dykes that, together, define a pegmatite-bearing corridor that is at least 1.4 km long, up to 100 m wide, north-northeast striking, and dips 50°-70° to the west. The corridor itself consists of both country rock and pegmatite, with pegmatite occurring as either a single 10-40 m wide dyke or as 2-4 dykes with a similar cumulative width spread over 50-100 m of core length.
YLP-0283 was collared within a few metres of the lease boundary to test the Shorty corridor at approximately 50 to 100 m below the surface and 50 m north of a section with previously released YLP-0089 (1.55% Li2O over 15 m from 2 intervals, 5 m apart). Drilling intersected a 35 m dyke centered at approximately 50 m below the surface that returned a wall-to-wall composite of 1.32% Li2O. This intersection is the northeastern-most hole drilled on Shorty corridor to date with mineralization open at depth and along strike to the north-northeast where it extends off LIFT’s claims.
