Discussion of Results

This week’s drill results are for eight holes drilled on four separate pegmatite complexes, including Fi Main (N = 1), Nite (N = 3), BIG West (N = 2), and Ki (N = 2). A table of composite calculations, general comments related to this discussion, and a table of collar headers are provided towards the end of this section.

Figure 1 – Location of LIFT’s Yellowknife Lithium Project. Drilling has been thus far focused on the Road Access Group of pegmatites which are located to the east of the city of Yellowknife along a government-maintained paved highway, as well as the Echo target in the Further Afield Group.

Fi Main Pegmatite

The Fi Main pegmatite comprises a 10-100 m wide corridor of 1-5 dykes that dip between 70°-85° to the west-northwest and extends for at least 1.5 km on surface.

YLP-0148 tested the Fi Main pegmatite approximately 300 m from its northern mapped extent, 50 m vertically beneath the surface, and 250 m up-dip from YLP-0020 (0.49% Li2O over 5 m). Drilling at this site intersected a single 31 m wide pegmatite dyke that returned an assay composite of 1.40% Li2O over 23 m (Table 1 and 2, Figures 2 & 3).

Nite Pegmatite

The Nite pegmatite complex comprises a north-northeast trending corridor of parallel-trending dykes that is exposed for at least 1.4 km of strike length, ranges from 10-200 m wide, and dips approximately 50°-70° degrees to the east.

YLP-0145 was designed to test the Nite pegmatite approximately 500 m from its northern mapped extent, <25 m vertically beneath the surface, and 50 m up-dip from YLP-0149 (see next paragraph). Drilling intersected three pegmatite dykes from the base of overburden (B-OVB) to 40 m core depth, ranging from 2-13 m in width for cumulative pegmatite width of 18 m. The widest dyke returned an assay composite of 1.28% Li2O over 10 m whereas another dyke, intersected from B-OVB to 4 m depth, returned 1.26% Li2O over 3 m.

YLP-0149 was designed to test the Nite pegmatite on the same section as YLP-0145 but at 50 m further downdip. Drilling intersected four pegmatite dykes ranging from 1-11 m in width for cumulative pegmatite width of 27 m over 43 m of core length. The three widest dykes, from upper- to lower-most, returned assay composites of 1.04% Li2O over 5 m, 1.04% Li2O over 1 m, and 0.78% Li2O over 10 m, the latter including 1.15% Li2O over 5 m.

YLP-0182 was designed to test the Nite pegmatite approximately 600 m from its southern mapped extent, 250 m vertically beneath the surface, and 200 m down-dip of YLP-0142 (1.47% Li2O over 10 m). Drilling intersected four pegmatite dykes over 39 m core width, ranging from 2-14 m in width for cumulative pegmatite width of 31 m. The widest dyke returned an assay composite of 1.38% Li2O over 11 m whereas the other three dykes averaged 0.1-0.3% Li2O over core widths ranging from 2-10 m (Table 1 & 2, Figures 4, 5 & 6).

BIG West Pegmatite

The BIG West pegmatite complex comprises a northeast-trending corridor of parallel-trending dykes that is exposed for at least 1.5 km along strike and is steeply west dipping to subvertical. The complex is bound by two relatively continuous dykes that are approximately 50-100 m apart in the north half and just under 150 m apart in the southern part. To facilitate description, these dykes are here referred to as the east bounding (EB) and west bounding (WB) dykes.

YLP-0151 tested the BIG West EB dyke approximately 150 m from its southern mapped extent, 150 m vertically below the surface, and 100 m down-dip of YLP-0146 (0.52% Li2O over 12 m). Drilling intersected five pegmatite dykes over 83 m of drill core, including a 15 m thick dyke and four 2-4 m wide dykes for cumulative pegmatite width of 27 m. The 15 m wide dyke returned a wall-to-wall composite of 0.18% Li2O over 15 m that includes 0.62% Li2O over 1 m. All other dykes averaged <0.1% Li2O.

YLP-0153 was designed to test the WB dyke approximately 350 m from its southern mapped extent and <25 m vertically beneath the surface, as well as 50 m up-dip from YLP-0135 (1.04% Li2O over 12 m) and 100 m up-dip of YLP-0132 (no significant intercept). Drilling intersected a single 16 m wide pegmatite extending from the base of overburden (B-OVB) to 18 m depth that returned an assay composite of 0.99% Li2O over 9 m (Table 1 and 2, Figure 7).

Ki Pegmatite

The Ki pegmatite is one of several subparallel dykes occurring within a north-of-northwest trending corridor. Drill intercepts typically comprise a thick “main” dyke flanked by one or more narrower (1-5 m wide) dykes although, in places, it is formed by 2-6 dykes of similar cumulative thickness spread over up to 80 m of core length. The Ki dyke is visible for at least 1.0 km on surface and dips between 65°-80° to the southwest.

YLP-0155 tested the Ki pegmatite approximately 300 m from its southern mapped extent and 100 m vertically beneath the surface, as well as 50 m down-dip of YLP-0096 (1.38% Li2O over 12 m) and 100 m downdip of YLP-0069 (0.96% Li2O over 10 m). Drilling intersected seven pegmatite dykes over 96 m of core length, with individual dykes spaced ~7-14 m from adjacent dykes and ranging from 1-15 m in width for cumulative pegmatite width of 31 m. All wall-to-wall assay composites returned ≤0.1% Li2O.

YLP-0161 tested the Ki pegmatite approximately 400 m from its southern mapped extents, 150 m vertically beneath the surface, and 100 m down-dip of YLP-0110 (1.00% Li2O over 7 m and 1.13% Li2O over 10 m). Drilling intersected three swarms separated by 50-70 m core lengths, with each swarm comprising 1-4 m of pegmatite over 1-20 m. All wall-to-wall assay composites returned <0.1% Li2O (Table 1 and 2, Figure 8).

Drilling Progress Update

The Company has concluded its 2023 drill program at the Yellowknife Lithium Project with 34,238 m completed. Currently, LIFT has reported results from 156 out of 198 diamond drill holes (27,493 m).

General Statements

All eight holes described in this news release were drilled broadly perpendicular to the dyke orientation so that the true thickness of reported intercepts will range somewhere between 65-100% of the drilled widths. A collar header table is provided below.

Mineralogical characterization for the YLP- pegmatites is in progress through hyperspectral core scanning and X-ray diffraction work. Visual core logging indicates that the predominant host mineral is spodumene.

QA/QC & Core Sampling Protocols

All drill core samples were collected under the supervision of LIFT employees and contractors. Drill core was transported from the drill platform to the core processing facility where it was logged, photographed, and split by diamond saw prior to being sampled. Samples were then bagged, and blanks and certified reference materials were inserted at regular intervals. Field duplicates consisting of quarter-cut core samples were also included in the sample runs. Groups of samples were placed in large bags, sealed with numbered tags in order to maintain a chain-of-custody, and transported from LIFT’s core logging facility to ALS Labs (“ALS”) laboratory in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.

Sample preparation and analytical work for this drill program were carried out by ALS. Samples were prepared for analysis according to ALS method CRU31: individual samples were crushed to 70% passing through 2 mm (10 mesh) screen; a 1,000-gram sub-sample was riffle split (SPL-21) and then pulverized (PUL-32) such that 85% passed through 75 micron (200 mesh) screen. A 0.2-gram sub-sample of the pulverized material was then dissolved in a sodium peroxide solution and analysed for lithium according to ALS method ME-ICP82b. Another 0.2-gram sub-sample of the pulverized material was analysed for 53 elements according to ALS method ME-MS89L. All results passed the QA/QC screening at the lab, all inserted standards and blanks returned results that were within acceptable limits.
