During the summer surface program in 2023, LIFT completed a soil geochemistry survey covering the Cali Property, as well as a mapping and prospecting campaign. Rock sampling and mapping indicate that the spodumene pegmatite dyke swarm system is larger than had been anticipated with numerous spodumene pegmatite swarms present within an area of 1.5 kilometers by 1 kilometer (Figure 2). Out of 163 grab samples collected, 124 returned grades at greater than 1.0% Li2O.

Figure 2 – Rock sampling results from the Cali pegmatite corridors. Multiple outcropping spodumene pegmatite corridors have been defined over a 1.5 kilometer by 1 kilometer area. Boulders and subcrop (e.g. rocks that are not in place) suggest additional dykes may be present beneath cover.
Soil geochemistry results successfully outlined the outcropping corridors of spodumene pegmatites, and additionally defined an area with very little outcrop that has a similar magnitude of anomalism which could indicate spodumene pegmatites are located beneath soil cover (Figure 3).

QA/QC & Sampling Protocols
All rock and soil samples were collected under the supervision of LIFT employees and contractors. Sample location and descriptions were recorded in the field with samples transported to a temporary exploration camp where blanks and certified reference materials were inserted at regular intervals. Field duplicates are 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 the temporary exploration camp via helicopter/fixed wing to ALS Global’s (“ALS”) laboratory in

Location of LIFT’s Cali Lithium Project (CLP). The CLP is located in the Mackenzie Mountains along the Northwest Territories -Yukon border. The area is accessible by road and is located ~850 kilometers from rail in Fort Nelson, British Columbia .

Rock sampling results from the Cali pegmatite corridors. Multiple outcropping spodumene pegmatite corridors have been defined over a 1.5 kilometer by 1 kilometer area. Boulders and subcrop (e.g. rocks that are not in place) suggest additional dykes may be present beneath cover.
Figure 3
Soil sampling results from the Cali Lithium Project . Soil geochemistry successfully outlines outcropping spodumene pegmatite corridors. An additional lithium anomaly has been defined that occurs in an area with more extensive soil cover. The strength of the soil anomaly suggests there could be additional spodumene pegmatites located beneath cover.
