(“LIFT” or the “Company”) (TSXV: LIFT) (OTCQX: LIFFF) (Frankfurt: WS0)\n \n is pleased to provide an update on the exploration results from the Nottaway Lithium Project (the “Project”), located in the Eeyou Istchee Region of Québec.\n \n\n During the summer of 2025, LIFT collected 49 till samples for indicator mineral analysis in areas with very limited outcrop. The samples were processed by Overburden Drilling Management (ODM), where density concentrates were produced to identify spodumene grains that could signal the presence of nearby spodumene-bearing pegmatites hidden beneath till cover. This work outlined a 1 x 3 km area of elevated spodumene grain counts within the Project area, highlighting the potential presence of a concealed pegmatite system under cover (see map Figure 2).\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Figure 1 – Location of the Nottaway Project in the James Bay region of Quebec\n \n\n Francis MacDonald, CEO of LIFT, comments, “The tenor of these spodumene counts is exceptional—values greater than 2,000 grains are rarely seen in Canadian glacial sediments. Now that we have defined a clear up-ice source for these grains within a well-defined dispersion train, we feel LIFT has a compelling lithium-pegmatite discovery opportunity on our hands. This work is occurring in an area already known for hosting giant spodumene pegmatites—Q2 Metals’ Cisco discovery is located just nine kilometres from our claim boundary.”\n \n\n Spodumene counts by ODM returned five (5) significant results of greater than 200 spodumene grains. The best sample returned more than 800 grains from the dense mineral fraction and approximately 1,200 grains from the mid-density fraction for a total of 2,000 spodumene grains. On the property-scale map, this result is accompanied by sample #116928, which returned a total of ~400 spodumene grains (Figure 2).\n \n\n Up-ice of these two samples, ODM recovered a sequence of only 1, and 0 grains, forming a clear up-ice cutoff. The abundance, concentration, and isolation of these high counts suggests that there is excellent potential ...
