ii

For greater certainty, this Prospectus may qualify for issuance Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to published rates of a central banking authority or one or more financial institutions, such as a prime rate or bankers’ acceptance rate, or to recognized market benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR or EURIBOR (or any replacement or successor thereto) or a U.S. Federal funds rate.

All information omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus other than in limited circumstances where delivery is not required pursuant to NI 44-102 in connection with “at-the-market” distributions. Each Prospectus Supplement will be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the applicable Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the applicable Prospectus Supplement pertains.

The outstanding Common Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSXV ”) under the symbol “LIFT” and the OTCQX under the symbol “LIFFF”. The closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV on December 19, 2023, the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, was $5.19.

There is currently no market through which Securities, other than the Common Shares, may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Securities, other than the Common Shares, in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of these Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “ Risk Factors .”

This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of the Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and only by persons permitted to sell the Securities in those jurisdictions. The Company may offer and sell the Securities to or through, underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and may also offer and sell certain Securities directly to other purchasers or through agents pursuant to exemptions from registration or qualification under applicable securities laws. See “ Plan of Distribution .” A Prospectus Supplement relating to each issue of Securities offered thereby will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Company in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the method of distribution, the proceeds to the Company and any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms relating to the offering of such Securities.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities will be a new issue of Securities. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified security in a specified market or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, in which case the compensation payable to an underwriter, dealer or agent in connection with any such sale will be increased or decreased by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate price paid for the Securities by the purchasers exceeds or is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, dealer or agent to the Company. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.

In connection with any offering of the Securities, other than an at-the market offering, the underwriters, dealers or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a higher level than that which might exist in the open market. These transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. See “ Plan of Distribution .”

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain information contained in this Prospectus and in certain documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus constitutes “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. The use of any of the words “anticipate”, “continue”, “estimate”, “intend”, “potential”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “proposed”, “should”, “believe” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information. In addition, this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein may contain forward-looking information attributed to third party industry sources. The Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking information included in, or incorporated by reference into, this Prospectus should not be unduly relied upon. Such information speaks only as of the date of this Prospectus or as of the date specified in the documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus, as the case may be.

In particular, this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference contain forward-looking information pertaining to the following:

  • the offering and sale of Securities;

  • the use of proceeds from the sale of Securities

  • the Company’s expectations regarding its potential revenues, expenses and operations;

  • the Company’s anticipated cash needs and its needs for additional financing;

  • the Company’s intention to grow its business and operations;

  • the regulatory environment in which the Company operates;

  • requirements for additional capital and the Company’s expectations regarding its ability to raise sufficient capital on favourable terms;

  • the future price of lithium products;

  • the estimation of mineral resources and realization of mineral reserve estimates;

  • the development, expansion and assumed future results of exploration and operations from the Company’s mineral projects;

  • permitting timelines;

  • currency fluctuations;

  • success of exploration programs;

  • environmental risks;

  • unanticipated reclamation expenses;

  • title disputes or claims;

  • limitations on insurance coverage;

  • anticipated effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; and

  • the Company’s plans and expectations for its properties.

With respect to forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, the Company has made various material assumptions, including but not limited to (i) obtaining necessary regulatory approvals; (ii) that regulatory requirements will be maintained; (iii) general business and economic conditions including that financial markets will not in

-3-

the long term be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; (iv) the Company’s ability to successfully execute its plans and intentions; (v) the availability of financing on reasonable terms; (vi) the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled staff; (vii) the accuracy of the interpretation of drilling and other results on the Company’s mineral projects; (viii) anticipated results of exploration activities and (ix) predictable changes to market prices for lithium and other battery metals and other predicted trends regarding factors underlying the market for such products. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect, and the Company cannot assure that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.

The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information as a result of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein:

  • the Company is an early-stage company with little operating history, a history of losses and the Company cannot assure profitability;

  • uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;

  • the Company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the expectations of the Company’s management;

  • the Company expects to incur significant ongoing costs and obligations relating to mineral projects;

  • The Company may not be able to secure additional financing for current and future operations and capital projects;

  • inherent uncertainties and risks associated with mineral exploration;

  • the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with the Company’s expectations;

  • volatility in the market prices for lithium products;

  • the risk that the Company’s title to its properties could be challenged;

  • the Company may not be able to effectively manage its growth and operations, which could materially and adversely affect its business;

  • the Company faces competition from other companies where it will conduct business that may have a higher capitalization, more experienced management or may be more mature as a business;

  • risks related to the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including the ability to keep essential operational staff in place as a result of COVID-19;

  • uncertainties related to global financial and economic conditions and the impact of market reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic;

  • risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic;

  • risks associated with the Company being subject to government regulation, including changes in regulation, including changes in environmental laws and regulations;

  • competition for, among other things, capital acquisitions of resources, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel;

  • uninsured risks and hazards;

  • risks relating to environmental regulation and liabilities

  • the Company will continue to sell shares for cash to fund operations, capital expansion, mergers and acquisitions that will dilute the current shareholders;

  • the Company’s officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities resulting in conflicts of interest;

-4-

  • the market price for Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control; and

  • the Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near future; and

  • other risks detailed from time-to-time in the Company’s ongoing quarterly and annual filings with applicable securities regulators, including the AIF, and those which are discussed under the heading “ Risk Factors .”

These factors are not, and should not be construed as being, exhaustive.

The forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The forward-looking information contained in each of the documents incorporated by reference herein is made as of the date of such document and, accordingly, is subject to change after such date. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information after the date of this Prospectus to conform such information to actual results or to changes in the Company’s expectations except as otherwise required by applicable Canadian securities laws.

At present, the Company does not have any proposed acquisitions and does not intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities to complete any specific acquisitions or to repay any existing or future indebtedness.

The amount of net proceeds expected to be received from the sale of Securities, and each of the principal purposes for which the Company will use those net proceeds, will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Company may invest net proceeds which it does not immediately use. Such investments may include short-term marketable investment grade securities. The Company may, from time to time, issue securities (including Securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus.

More detailed information regarding the use of proceeds from the sale of Securities, including any determinable milestones at the applicable time, will be described in a Prospectus Supplement and will include reasonable detail of the principal purposes of the proposed use of net proceeds in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.2 of Form 44-101F1 – Short Form Prospectus (“Form 44-101F1”), as well as the business objectives expected to be accomplished using the net proceeds of such offering and each significant event that must occur to accomplish such business objective, including the cost thereof, in accordance with Section 4.7 of Form 44-101F1.

Due to the expected continuation of negative operating cash flow, the Company anticipates the proceeds raised in connection with the sale of the Securities will be used to fund activities that will contribute to negative cash flow in the near term.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company may from time to time during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments thereto, remains valid, offer for sale and issue up to an aggregate of $200,000,000 in Securities hereunder.

The Company may sell Securities: (i) to or through underwriters or dealers, (ii) directly to purchasers, (iii) through agents, or (iv) through a combination of any of these methods of sale. The distribution of the Securities of any series may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions.

The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent engaged in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, as well as the method of distribution and the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the net proceeds to the Company and, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts, concessions or any other compensation payable to the underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms. Only underwriters, dealers or agents so named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters, dealers, or agents, as the case may be, in connection with the Securities offered thereby.

In addition, Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or one of its subsidiaries. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.

-16-

Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be ‘at-themarket distributions’ (as defined in NI 44-102), including sales made directly on an existing trading market for the Common Shares, such as the CSE, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may make sales of Securities in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at-the-market distribution” and subject to limitations imposed by and the terms of any regulatory approvals required and obtained under, applicable Canadian securities laws which includes sales made directly on an existing trading market for the Common Shares, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. In connection with any offering of Securities other than an ‘at-the-market distribution’, the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. Any purchaser who acquires securities forming part of the underwriters’ over-allocation position acquires such securities under the applicable Prospectus Supplement, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over-allocation option or secondary market purchases. No underwriter or dealer involved in an “at-the-market distribution” under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer will over-allot Securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

If, in connection with the offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Company.

Under agreements which may be entered into by the Company and underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of business.

Each distribution of Securities will be a new issue of securities for which (other than the Common Shares) there is no established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a series of Securities, the Securities (other than Common Shares) will not be listed on any securities exchange. There is no market through which such Securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. Certain broker dealers may make a market in the

-17-

Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that any broker dealer will make a market in the Securities of any series or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for the Securities of any series.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, this Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Securities in the United States. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, unless the Securities are registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Each underwriter, dealer and agent who participates in the distribution will agree not to sell or offer to sell or to solicit any offer to buy any Securities within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

  • whether the Debt Securities may be converted or exchanged for other Securities of the Company or any other entity, and the terms and conditions hereof, including whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at the option of the Company, as well as any provisions pursuant to which the number of Common Shares or other securities to be received the holders of such Debt Securities would be subject to adjustment;

  • if applicable, the ability of the Company to satisfy all or a portion of any redemption of the Debt Securities, payment of any premium or interest thereon, or repayment of the principal owing upon the maturity through the issuance of Securities of the Company or of any other entity, and any restrictions on the persons to whom such Securities may be issued;

  • provisions applicable to amendment of the Debt Indenture;

  • the material income tax consequences of owning such Debt Securities; and

  • certain other material terms, conditions or other provisions (including covenants) applicable to the Debt Securities.

  • any other terms of the Warrants.

Warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new warrant certificates of different denominations at the office indicated in the Prospectus Supplement. Prior to the exercise of their Warrants, holders of Warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities subject to the Warrants.

Modifications

The Company may amend the warrant agreements or indentures and the Warrants, without the consent of the holders of the Warrants, to cure any ambiguity, to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision, or in any other manner that will not materially and adversely affect the interests of holders of the outstanding Warrants. Other amendment provisions shall be as indicated in the Prospectus Supplement.

Enforceability

The warrant agent or trustee, as applicable, if any, will act solely as the Company’s agent. The warrant agent or trustee, as applicable, will not have any duty or responsibility if the Company defaults under the warrant agreements or indentures or the warrant certificates. A Warrant holder may, without the consent of the warrant agent or trustee, as applicable, enforce by appropriate legal action on its own behalf the holder’s right to exercise the holder’s Warrants

DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS

The Company may issue Subscription Receipts, independently or together with other Securities, and Subscription Receipts sold with other Securities may be attached to or separate from the other Securities. Subscription Receipts will be issued under one or more subscription receipt agreements that the Company will enter into with one or more escrow agents. If underwriters or agents are involved in the sale of Subscription Receipts, one or more of such underwriters or agents may also be parties to the subscription receipt agreement governing those Subscription Receipts. The relevant subscription receipt agreement will establish the terms of the Subscription Receipts and a copy of such subscription agreement will be available on SEDAR+ under the Company’s profile.

A Subscription Receipt is a security of the Company that will entitle the holder to receive upon satisfaction of one or more release conditions, and for no additional consideration, a specified number of Securities.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

The Company may issue Units comprised of one or more of the other Securities described in this Prospectus in any combination. Each Unit will be issued so that the holder of the Unit is also the holder of each Security included in the Unit. Thus, the holder of a Unit will have the rights and obligations of a

-23-

holder of each included Security. The unit agreement under which a Unit is issued may provide that the Securities included in the Unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

  • any other material terms and conditions of the Units..

OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE SECURITIES

General

The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Units set forth certain general terms and provisions of such Securities. The particular terms and provisions of the Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Units offered by any Prospectus Supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described herein may apply to them, will be described in the Prospectus Supplement filed in respect of such Securities.

The Company reserves the right to include in a Prospectus Supplement specific terms pertaining to Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Units that are not within the descriptions set forth in this Prospectus, provided that such Securities will not be specified derivatives or asset-backed securities. To the extent that any terms or provisions or other information pertaining to Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Units described in a Prospectus Supplement differ from any of the terms or provisions or other information described in this Prospectus, the description set forth in this Prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by the description set forth in the Prospectus Supplement

-24-

with respect to those Securities. Prospective investors should rely on information in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and read this Prospectus together with the applicable Debt Indenture or other indenture or agreement.

Securities offered under this Prospectus may be issued in certificated form or in book-entry only form.

Certificated Form

Securities issued in certificated form will be registered in the name of the purchaser or its nominee on the registers maintained by the Company’s transfer agent and registrar or the applicable Trustee.

Book-Entry Only Form

Securities issued in “book-entry only” form must be purchased, transferred or redeemed through participants (“participants”) in a depository service of a depository identified in the Prospectus Supplement for the particular offering of Securities. Each of the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, named in the Prospectus Supplement will be a participant of the depository. On the closing of a book-entry only offering, the Company will cause a global certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of Securities subscribed for under such offering to be delivered to, and registered in the name of, the depository or its nominee. Except as described below, no purchaser of Securities issued in book-entry only form will be entitled to a certificate or other instrument from the Company or the depository evidencing that purchaser’s ownership thereof, and no purchaser will be shown on the records maintained by the depository except through a book-entry account of a participant acting on behalf of such purchaser. Each purchaser of such Securities will receive a customer confirmation of purchase from the registered dealer from which the Securities are purchased in accordance with the practices and procedures of such registered dealer. The practices of registered dealers may vary, but generally customer confirmations are issued promptly after execution of a customer order. The depository will be responsible for establishing and maintaining book-entry accounts for its participants having interests in the book-entry only Securities. Reference in this Prospectus to a holder of book-entry only Securities means, unless the context otherwise requires, the owner of the beneficial interest in the Securities.

If the Company determines, or the depository notifies the Company in writing, that the depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the bookentry only Securities and the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor, or if the Company at its option elects, or is required by law, to terminate the book-entry system, then such Securities will be issued in certificated form to holders or their nominees.

INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Owning any of the Securities may subject holders to tax consequences. The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a non-resident of Canada or to an investor who is a resident of Canada of acquiring, owning and disposing of any of the Securities offered thereunder. Investors should read the tax discussion in any Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstance.

-25-

EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIOS

Earnings coverage ratios will be provided as required by applicable securities laws in the applicable Prospectus Supplement(s) with respect to the issuance of Debt Securities having a maturity in excess of one year pursuant to this Prospectus.

PRIOR SALES

Information in respect of prior sales of Common Shares and other Securities distributed under this Prospectus and for securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or such other Securities within the previous 12-month period will be provided, as required, in a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the issuance of Common Shares and/or other Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.

MARKET FOR SHARES

The Common Shares of the Company are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “LIFT”. Trading prices and volumes of the Common Shares for the previous 12-month period will be provided in each Prospectus Supplement.

SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITIONS

The Company has not completed any significant acquisitions, as such term is defined in National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations since incorporation other than the acquisition of 1361516 B.C Ltd. (“ Numco ”) as described above at “ Recent Developments ”. The Company acquired Numco pursuant to an amalgamation agreement dated November 22, 2022 between the Company, Numco and 1386798 B.C. Ltd. (“ Subco ”), an entity incorporated as a subsidiary of the Company for the purposes of completing the acquisition of Numco (the “ Transaction ”). The Transaction was completed by way of a three-corner amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), whereby, among other things:

  • (a) Subco was amalgamated with and into Numco, to form Yellowknife Lithium Ltd, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; and

  • (b) Each issued and outstanding shares of Numco was exchanged for 0.60 of a Common Share of the Company, with the Transaction resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 18,000,000 Common Shares.

A business acquisition report for the Transaction was filed on March 14, 2023 on SEDAR+ under the Company’s profile and is incorporated by reference herein.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and must be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business and is only suitable for investors who are willing and can afford to risk a loss of their entire investment. Prospective investors should give carefully consideration, in light of their own financial circumstances, to all of the information contained and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Prospectus before purchasing Securities offered under this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement, and in

-26-

particular should give special consideration to the risk factors below and in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Information” above and included in the Company’s then current annual information form and those described in a document incorporated by reference in this Prospectus (including subsequently filed documents incorporated by reference), and consult their own experts where necessary.

In addition to the below, discussions of certain risks affecting the Company in connection with its business are provided in the Company’s disclosure documents filed with the various securities regulatory authorities which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. Additional risks not presently known the Company or that it currently considers immaterial may also materially and adversely affect the Company. If any of the events identified in these risks and uncertainties were to actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed.

Market for Securities

Other than for Common Shares, there is no market through which the Securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units after an offering or, if developed, that such market will be sustained. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation.

The public offering prices of the Securities may be determined by negotiation between Skeena and underwriters, dealers, agents or other purchasers based on several factors and may bear no relationship to the prices at which the Securities will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering, if any public market develops. See “ Plan of Distribution .”

Volatility of Stock Markets

Securities markets experience a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the Company include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries.

These fluctuations may affect the ability of holders of the Securities to sell their securities at an advantageous price. The market price of such securities may decline even if the Company’s operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company’s operations could be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Shares may be materially adversely affected.

-27-

If an active market for such securities does not continue, the liquidity of an investor’s investment may be limited and the price of such securities may decline below the price at which the Securities are issued. If such a market does not develop, investors may lose their entire investment in the Securities.

As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the securities of the Company at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the long-term value of the Company.

Global Economy Risk

The volatility of global capital markets, including the general economic slowdown in the mining sector, over the past several years has generally made raising capital by equity or debt financing more difficult. The Company may be dependent upon capital markets to raise additional financing in the future. As such, the Company is subject to liquidity risks in meeting its operating expenditure requirements and future development cost requirements in instances where adequate cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. These factors may impact the ability to raise equity or obtain loans and other credit facilities in the future and on terms favourable to the Company and its management. If these levels of volatility persist or if there is a further economic slowdown, the Company’s operations, the Company’s ability to raise capital and the trading price of the Company’s securities could be adversely impacted.

Inflation

The Company’s operating costs could escalate and become uncompetitive due to supply chain disruptions, inflationary cost pressures, equipment limitations, escalating supply costs, commodity prices and additional government intervention through stimulus spending or additional regulations. The Company’s inability to manage costs may impact, among other things, future development decisions, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance. .

Discretion in the Use of Proceeds

The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described under “ Use of Proceeds .” However, the Company retains broad discretion over the actual use of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities and may elect to allocate net proceeds differently from that described under “ Use of Proceeds ” if determined to be in the Company’s best interests to do so. Investors may not agree with how the Company allocates or spends the proceeds from the sale of the Securities. The Company may pursue acquisitions, collaborations or other opportunities that do not result in an increase in the market value of the Company’s securities, including the market value of the Securities, and that may increase the Company’s losses.

Risk Factors Related to Dilution

The Company may issue additional securities in the future, which may dilute a shareholder’s holdings in the Company. The Company’s constating documents permit the issuance of an unlimited number of Common Shares. The Company’s shareholders do not have pre-emptive rights in connection with any future issuances of securities by the Company. The directors of the Company have discretion to determine the price and the terms of further issuances. Moreover, additional Common Shares will be issued by the Company on the exercise of options under its stock option plan and upon the exercise of outstanding convertible securities. Further, the Company’s shareholders may sell substantial amounts of securities of the Company following an offering of Securities.

-28-

The Company cannot predict the size of future sales or issuances of equity securities or convertible debt securities or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of equity securities or convertible debt securities may have on the market price of the Common Shares. However, sales or issuances of a substantial number of equity securities or convertible debt securities, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares.

Additional Financing

The continued development of the Company will require additional financing. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve its business objectives. The Company intends to fund its future business activities by way of additional offerings of equity and/or debt financing as well as through anticipated positive cash flow from operations in the future. The failure to raise or procure such additional funds or the failure to achieve positive cash flow could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of current business objectives. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If additional funds are raised by offering equity securities, existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution. Any debt financing secured in the future could involve the granting of security against assets of the Company and also contain restrictive covenants relating to capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. The Company will require additional financing to fund its operations until positive cash flow is achieved. See “ Risk Factors – Negative Cash Flow from Operations .”

Negative Cash Flow from Operations

The Company is an exploration company and has not generated positive cash flow from operations. The Company is devoting significant resources to the development and expansion of its business, however there can be no assurance that it will generate positive cash flow from operations in the future. The Company currently has negative cash flow from operating activities and expects to continue to incur negative operating cash flow and losses until such time as it achieves commercial production.

Dividends

The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends on the Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Dividends paid by the Company would be subject to tax and, potentially, withholdings.

Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend on, among other things, financial results, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Company’s board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, investors may not receive any return on an investment in the Securities unless they sell their securities of the Company for a price greater than that which such investors paid for them.

Forward-Looking Information may Prove Inaccurate

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, of both a general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking information or contribute to the possibility that

-29-

predictions, forecasts or projections will prove to be materially inaccurate. See “ Forward-Looking Information .”

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings that the Company is or was a party to, or that any of its property is or as a subject of, that were or are material to the Company, nor are any such legal proceedings known to the Company to be contemplated which could be deemed material to the Company.

To the knowledge of management of the Company, there have not been any penalties or sanctions imposed against the Company by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority, nor have there been any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body against the Company that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision, and the Company has not entered into any settlement agreement before a court relating to securities legislation or with a securities regulatory authority.

PURCHASER’S STATUTORY RIGHTS

Subject to such further disclosure as may be provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the following is a description of a purchaser’s statutory rights in respect of a purchase of Securities under this Prospectus. Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment (irrespective, in the case of an offering on non-fixed price basis, of the determination at a later date of the purchase price of the Securities distributed). In several of the provinces and territories of Canada, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF RESCISSION

Original purchasers of Securities which are convertible, exchangeable, or exercisable for other securities of the Company, including Warrants and Subscription Receipts if offered separately, will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities.

The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, upon surrender of the underlying Securities, in addition to the amount paid on initial purchase, the amount paid on conversion in the event that this Prospectus, the relevant Prospectus Supplement or an amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Summary

This report provides an independent review of the Yellowknife Lithium Property for Li-FT Power Ltd., a company focused on the exploration and development of lithium deposits in Canada.

This report was prepared by Thomas Hawkins P.Geo, PhD an independent qualified person (QP) as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) and as described in Section 28 (Date and Signature Page) of this report.

Property Ownership

The online registry currently shows that the leases are 100% owned and registered in the name of Erex International Ltd. (Erex). Erex is a wholly owned subsidiary of Li-FT Power Ltd. (The Company). The Property is subject to a 2% net profits royalty and a 2% gross overriding royalty (the “GORR”).

Property Description

The property is formed of 13 separate mineral leases centred around longitude 113W and latitude 62N (WGS 84), that cover a series of pegmatitic intrusive rocks that are enriched in the lithium-bearing mineral spodumene. The leases named Ki, VO, Lens, Thor, Hid, Hi-1, Hi-2, Bet, Bin, Nite, Big, Fe, Mut together cover a total area of 1497.7 hectares all located between 18 and 120km of the city of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. The leases are registered in the name of Erex International Ltd., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Li-FT Power Ltd.

Access on the property varies from lease to lease, the Nite, Fi, Ki, BIG, and Hi leases are accessible by short access trails from Highway 4, all other leases are helicopter or fixed wing float plane access only. Fixed wing float planes can land on nearby lakes in summer, and on skis in the winter. The nearest highvoltage electrical power line and barge service is located in Yellowknife, the nearest access to the rail network is located in the town of Hay River.

The Property is located in a terrain that is dominated by low rolling hills. Elevation ranges from 200 metres above sea level around the NITE lease rising gradually to 310 metres above sea level on the VO and THOR leases. The property area is within the Taiga Shield Ecozone High Boreal which consists of discontinuous permafrost, hummocky to rolling bedrock or boulder till, with cover of peatlands, young

jack pine stands on recently burned outwash; elsewhere, closed black spruce stands with lichen and shrub understories are dominant; paper birch and dwarf birch occupy regeneration zones on recent burns.

Status of Exploration

The various spodumene-rich pegmatites of the Yellowknife Pegmatite Province were originally discovered in the 1930s and mapped in the 1950s by geologists of the Geological Survey of Canada, as well as early lithium explorers. Active exploration at this time was sporadic and mainly for columbite and tantalite. Exploration in the 1960s and 1970s by the mineral exploration company Canadian Superior Exploration Canada Ltd (“CSEL”) demonstrated that a series of pegmatites within the Yellowknife Pegmatite province contained significant spodumene as a rock forming constituent of the pegmatites, locally ranging from 15% to more than 30% of the rock by volume. Other less common lithium minerals include amblygonite. The most promising spodumene enriched pegmatites were staked for Canadian Superior Exploration Canada Ltd and were later acquired by EREX.

Historical work completed on the various properties includes substantial trench sampling of the pegmatites, limited diamond drilling, and bulk sampling for metallurgical and mineral processing studies.

A historical study completed on metallurgical and mineral processing on a 1 tonne bulk sample indicated that a spodumene concentrate could be produced by gravity separation by tabling, followed by flotation. A lithium carbonate product with no deleterious impurities could be produced from the spodumene concentrate through a conventional roast and acid leach treatment. By-products of feldspar, mica, and sodium sulphate were also possible (Page, 1987).

A 2022 LiDAR survey, structural mapping, and mineralogical mapping by Li-FT Power Ltd. has confirmed the presence and extent spodumene on 7 of the 13 leases( Nite, Big, Hi1, Hi2, Fi, Ki and VO) that was reported the in the pegmatitic dykes from historical exploration programs. The author recommends that further work be completed in order to confirm historical reports of spodumene content and the dimensions of spodumene-bearing dykes.

Geology and Mineralization

‘Yellowknife Pegmatite Province’ is defined as an area located in the Slave Craton that contains a series of pegmatitic dykes that were estimated to have intruded the metasedimentary rocks of the Burwash Formation around 2593±6 Ma (Palmer, 2018). The historical exploration work conducted in the area has shown that spodumene forms a significant rock forming constituent of many of the pegmatitic intrusions, locally ranging from 15% to more than 30% of the rock by volume. Other less common lithium minerals include amblygonite.

A regional scale mineralogical zoning has been noted across the Yellowknife Pegmatite province: pegmatites clustering in the northwest, are mineralogically simple and unzoned, consisting of quartz, feldspar, spodumene and mica. The pegmatites found in the southeast of the province are more likely to be LCT type (Lithium, Cesium, Tantalum enriched) and to contain beryllium, cesium, lithium, niobium and tantalum-bearing minerals, (Verley, 2018).

Conclusions and Recommendations

Based on the evaluation of available data, the author recommends a multi-phase exploration program for Yellowknife Lithium property:

Stage 1.

A summer program to include archeological studies, baseline environmental work, and saw-cut channel sampling of pegmatite surface exposures, as well as regional prospecting and geochemical surveys designed to locate buried targets. In addition, diamond drilling utilizing at least two rigs fitted for HQ coring to test the NITE, BIG, Fi, Ki, and Hi pegmatites, requiring approximately 12,000 m of drilling in 57 drill holes. Estimated to cost $8,186,870.

Stage 2.

Contingent upon positive results from the First Stage, a follow-up winter program consisting of a drilling program designed to in-fill areas on the dykes that warrant additional testing. The object of this program should be to achieve sufficient data to estimate inferred lithium resources for the dykes that have been drill-tested. Cost estimate for this program to be determined once results are known from the summer program.
