Despite lithium prices falling 75% from recent highs, the company continues delineating resources, planning to announce an initial inferred resource estimate by August/September 2024.CEO Francis McDonald says current conditions make this \"a perfect time to be buying lithium stocks\" ahead of inevitable future price resurgences, giving developers time to advance assets. Hit rates have been exceptional, with 80-90% of over 34,000 meters drilled intersecting mineralization so far. Another 25,000 meters are planned for early 2024.The intention is demonstrating scale to showcase \"a world-class resource\" onsite. Infrastructure and location are crucial for lithium projects, with volumes making transport costs critical. Yellowknife offers key infrastructure advantages over remote sites. Systematic tight-spaced drilling efficiently defines resources before conducting metallurgical and geotechnical studies to support economic studies.Steady news flow is expected over coming months. Further drilling and study results provide continual upside catalysts. Weak sentiment allows accumulating shares at discounted valuations in a company aggressively expanding known lithium mineralization.While a buyout is possible, the focus is on independently advancing towards potential future development as market conditions improve in sync with rising long-term demand forecasts. Lithium use for electric vehicles is still early, with extreme price volatility expected. Positioning projects now ahead of supply deficits could allow capitalizing on coming...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
