Those results are from 2,227 metres drilled across 16 holes from the road-accessible BIG East, Fi Main and Big North targets, and from the more remote Echo target, 120 km east of Yellowknife.
“This week we saw the first holes back from the northeast end of the very impressive BIG-East pegmatite where YLP-0271 intercepted the best width, and highest grades drilled to date on the Big-E pegmatite,” Dave Smithson, Li-FT senior vice-president geology, said in a news release.
“This hole marks the very most northeast limit of drilling and extends high-grade mineralization under the lake from the southwest for a total of 750 metres to date. We are very excited to see what happens next as we move our drill rigs up onto the ice and continue testing along the dyke for more high-grade lithium zones hidden by the lake.”
