Li-FT Power Hits 1.65% Lithium at Depth as BIG East Pegmatite Stays Open
Li-FT Power's Yellowknife Lithium drill results deliver grades above 1% Li₂O across three pegmatites, extending the BIG East corridor at depth and advancing the project toward feasibility-stage studies.
Key Takeaways
- Li-FT Power completed 20 diamond drill holes totalling 5,324 metres at the Yellowknife Lithium Project, with five headline intercepts all exceeding 1% Li₂O across the Fi Main, Ki, and BIG East pegmatites.
- BIG East's best hole — YLP-0312 — returned a wall-to-wall 26 m at 1.29% Li₂O including 17 m at 1.65% Li₂O at 175 metres depth, with no internal waste zones to dilute the resource estimate.
- Mineralisation at BIG East remains open to the south and at depth, with the southernmost holes at 200 metres depth still returning economic grades, pointing to a resource that has not yet been fully defined.
- Geotechnical drilling at Fi Main and Ki confirmed grade while simultaneously collecting rock mechanics data required for pit wall design and blasting parameters in future feasibility studies.
- The project's location near Yellowknife provides year-round road access, hydroelectric power, and proximity to established diamond mine service networks — infrastructure advantages that materially reduce the capital cost profile versus remote lithium developments.
