LIFT Expands Lithium Resource at Yellowknife Project with High-Grade Intercepts
Event summary
- LIFT intersected 26 meters at 1.29% Li2O at its BIG East pegmatite in the Yellowknife Lithium Project, NWT.
- The 2026 winter drilling program comprised 17 holes totaling 4,778 meters, with results from eight holes summarized.
- BIG East pegmatite complex spans 1.8 km of strike length and contains 16.5 Mt grading 1.06% Li2O in the current resource estimate.
- The project is one of the largest spodumene projects in North America with 50.4 million tonnes at 1.00% Li2O.
The big picture
LIFT's latest drilling results at the Yellowknife Lithium Project confirm the continuity of high-grade mineralization, supporting the potential for resource expansion. The project's significant size and grade position it as a key player in the North American lithium sector, amid growing demand for battery metals. The strategic focus on expanding the resource base could enhance LIFT's valuation and attractiveness to investors.
