LFNT Announces 2024 Work Program Results from its Skyfire Property
Vancouver, BC / Sep 27, 2024 - LFNT Resources Inc. (CSE:LFNT) ("LFNT" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that the Company has completed its' 2024 field program at the Skyfire
Property, located in Cariboo Mining Division of British Columbia (BC), Canada.
Background
The Skyfire Property (or the "Property") consists of seven contiguous Mineral Titles Online
(MTO) claims covering 1,896 hectares in south-central BC, 95 km east-northeast from the city of
Williams Lake. In August 2022, LFNT signed an option agreement to gain 100% ownership of
the Property in exchange for payments, exploration work credits, and a net smelter return
royalty.
The Property lies within the Cariboo Gold District and is entirely enclosed within Karus Mining
Inc.'s ("Karus") South Cariboo property, which hosts the Frasergold deposit and several other
orogenic gold prospects hosted within a distinctive knotted phyllite unit. Other deposit types in
the area include copper-gold porphyry (e.g., Mount Polley located 60 km west-northwest of the
Property) and silver-lead-zinc plus or minus gold vein prospects.
Previous work on the Skyfire Property defined the Skyfire and Adie 2 showings. The Skyfire
showing comprises a single tetrahedrite- and chalcopyrite-bearing quartz vein that returned
samples with 260-550 g/t silver and 0.2-0.5 g/t gold. A geological mapping program completed
in 2022 inferred that the Skyfire vein is broadly northeast striking, steeply dipping, and cuts at a
high angle across lithology. The mineralized system context of this vein is unclear.
The Adie 2 showing consists of weak gold enrichment in quartz-veined knotted phyllite,
analogous to orogenic gold deposits and prospects on Karus's surrounding claims. The 2022
mapping program on the Skyfire Property showed that knotted phyllite occurs within the core of
a property-scale fold.
Methods for the 2024 Work Program
The 2024 work program was completed by Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd ("Equity") of
Vancouver, BC, and involved top-of-bedrock soil sampling on the so-called PIM and SV grids.
On the PIM Grid, 57 large volume (~11 kg) top-of-bedrock soil samples were collected from a
500 m spaced grid to cover most of the Skyfire Property (Figure 1). For each 11 kg sample,
~10 kg was sent to Overburden Drilling Management Ltd. Ottawa, Ontario, ("ODM") for
porphyry indicator mineral (PIM) analysis.
~1 kg was sent to ALS Canada Ltd in North Vancouver, BC, ("ALS") for screening to 180
microns (SCR-41) followed by super trace elemental analysis through four acid digestion
and ICP-MS finish (ME-MS61L).
On the SV Grid, 139 top-of-bedrock soil samples were taken in a tight grid (2 m spaced samples
on 30 m spaced lines) to locate the Skyfire vein under cover and test ~150 metres of
northeasterly strike. The approach is like trenching but with considerably less disturbance.
Samples were submitted to ALS for screening via SCR-41 followed by aqua regia digestion and
ICP-MS finish (AuME-TL43). An additional 12 samples were inserted to monitor quality
assurance and quality control (QAQC).
Total field-related expenditures for this project are $110,000 and include completion of the PIM
analyses, which are still outstanding as of the date of this news release.
Results of the 2024 Work Program
The PIM grid geochemical program was designed to look for coincident anomalies in the
pathfinder elements that occur in the uppermost portions of porphyry systems (e.g. Tl, Li, Sb,
Se, As, Bi, Te). Several of these pathfinder elements (Tl, As, Sb, Te, Se) cluster together at
significant abundances overtop the prospective knotted phyllite bedrock unit in the core of fold
that crosses the Property ("ME anomaly" in Figure 1). This area of the Property therefore
exhibits both more prospective geology and geochemistry.
As of the date of this new release, results of the porphyry indicator mineral analysis were still in
process with ODM.
Results from the SV Grid show that the Skyfire Ag-Au vein is spatially associated with strong Pb
as well as weak Au, Ag, Cu, and Sb (Figure 2). Trends defined by silver and gold anomalies
could be used to support a northeast-striking vein system.
The more notable result from the SV Grid is the relatively strong anomalism in Cu, Pb, Zn, and
other pathfinders (e.g., Bi, Cd, Mn, Mo, Tl, Sb) from the two southwestern-most lines (Figure 2).
The maximum values returned for copper (335 ppm), silver (17 g/t), molybdenum (55 ppm), and
zinc (2,100 ppm) are the highest values returned from the 2024 work across both grids.

anomaly described in the tex. Clockwise from top left, the elements shown include copper (Cu), antimony (Sb),
arsenic (As), and tellurium (Te); enrichment in Sb, As, and Te occurs in high level porphyry systems. Abbreviations
for bedrock units are shown in the map at top left and include knotted phyllite (KP), phyllite (PH), andesitic volcanic
(AV) and mafic volcanic (MV). Yellow stars make the location of the Skyfire (more eastern star) and Adie 2
showings.

by the yellow star under the third-most northeastern line. Clockwise from top left, these thematic maps show silver
(Ag), gold (Au), antimony (Sb), and copper (Cu), the latter two notable for enrichment on the southwestern-most
lines.
Sudbury Project Update
Additionally, the Company has opted to terminate its option agreement dated Aug 4, 2023, with
the Sudbury Project's two optionors and focus its exploration campaigns on its 100% owned
Skyfire property in Williams Lake, British Columbia.
