Li-FT Power ha stipulato un accordo definitivo con Power Metallic Mines per la vendita di 313 concessioni del suo progetto Rupert in Quebec. L'accordo ha un valore di 700.000 dollari canadesi in contanti più 6 milioni di azioni, di cui metà soggette a una restrizione di trasferimento di 12 mesi. LIFT manterrà inoltre una royalty NSR dello 0,5% senza clausola di riacquisto. Dopo la transazione, LIFT conserverà 2.203 concessioni nel progetto Rupert. Il CEO Francis MacDonald considera questa mossa strategica per valorizzare asset non core mantenendo l'esposizione alle scoperte di Power Metallic, offrendo una potenziale fonte di capitale non diluitiva in un contesto di mercato del litio difficile.
