Li-FT Power Ltd. (LIFT) has released results from the 2026 winter and 2025 summer drilling programs at the Yellowknife Lithium Project (YLP), located near Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The company reported findings from 20 drill holes totaling 5,324 meters, with 17 holes (4,778 m) from the 2026 winter program and three holes (546 m) from the 2025 summer program.
Key Assay Highlights
Significant intercepts include: YLP-0304 (Fi Main): 21 m at 1.09% Li2O, including 13 m at 1.38% Li2O; YLP-0306 (Ki): 18 m at 1.41% Li2O; YLP-0312 (BIG East): 26 m at 1.29% Li2O, including 17 m at 1.65% Li2O; YLP-0315 (BIG East): 22 m at 1.09% Li2O; and YLP-0320 (BIG East): 17 m at 1.32% Li2O.
BIG Pegmatite Drilling
All 17 holes from the 2026 winter program targeted the BIG area, marking the first drilling at BIG since the inferred mineral resource estimate was published in October 2024 (TSXV) and May 2026 (ASX). The BIG area comprises the BIG East, West, and North pegmatites. Sixteen holes were drilled on BIG East, and one on BIG North. The BIG East pegmatite complex is a north-northeast trending corridor of parallel dykes exposed over at least 1.8 km of strike length, ranging from 10 to 100 m wide, dipping 55° to 75° west. Spodumene-bearing pegmatite occurs as a single dyke 20-35 m wide or as two to four dykes up to 65 m wide. The 2026 holes extended along 1,000 m of strike length and reached depths of 50 to 300 m below surface. The BIG North pegmatite is a dyke swarm exposed over at least 350 m of strike, 10-35 m wide, dipping approximately 70° west.
2025 Program Results
Three holes from the 2025 program were drilled on the Fi Main, Fi SW, and Ki pegmatites. These holes underwent geotechnical strength testing before geochemical analysis. The results confirm the presence of high-grade lithium mineralization across multiple pegmatite bodies within the YLP.
According to LIFT, these drill results will contribute to ongoing resource modeling and future development planning for the Yellowknife Lithium Project.
