Q2 Metals Drills 188.6 M Grading 1.56% Li2O, including 26 Metres of 2.03% Li2O, at the Cisco Lithium Property, James Bay, Quebec, Canada
Q2 Metals has reported significant drilling results from its Cisco Lithium Property in Quebec's James Bay region. Two drill holes showed notable lithium concentrations: CS-24-022 revealed three wide intervals with Li2O grades ranging from 1.55% to 1.78%, including a section of 21m at 2.46% Li2O. CS-24-023 produced the widest interval of 188.6m at 1.56% Li2O, including 26.0m at 2.03% Li2O.
The 2024 drill campaign completed 6,359.7 metres across 17 drill holes, with these results confirming mineralization continuity over an 850-metre strike length. The company plans to expand exploration to the south and east in upcoming winter programs.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2024 / Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to report further assay results from the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property (the "Property" or the "Cisco Property") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. All drill holes intersected pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified.
"The results of drill hole 23 successfully confirmed the continuity of spodumene mineralization over the 850-metre strike length and, combined with drill hole 22, which underscores the down-dip continuity between holes 13, 17, 18 and 22, reinforces our confidence in the scale of Cisco, " said Neil McCallum, Q2 Metals Vice President of Exploration." Significantly more upside potential exists, and we plan to continue growing the already very large system to both the south and the east in our upcoming winter exploration program."
A total of 6,359.7 metres ("m") was drilled over 17 drill holes during the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Property. Analytic results for drill hole CS-24-020 remain to be reported.
The analytical results reported herein represent 1,188.1 m of drilling over two (2) holes during the 2024 drill campaign. Complete highlighted intervals from drill holes CS-24-022 and 023 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1 and 2.
Drill hole CS-24-022 was collared 200 m behind and on the same line as drill hole CS-24-018 to test the continuity of the mineralized system to the southeast. Drill hole CS-24-018 was the first hole with analytic results that confirmed the large, mineralized zone to the south with a 215.6 m interval grading
A total of 10 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals were encountered in drill hole CS24-022 with:
Seven (7) intervals greater than 10 m wide, and
Four (4) of those intervals greater than 40 m wide.
Drill hole CS-24-022 successfully confirmed the continuity of the mineralized system to the southeast with three separate intervals grading at or over
Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Holes with Analytical Results at Cisco Property
Drill hole CS-24-023 was collared in the same location as drill hole CS24-020 to test the continuity of the main large continuous pegmatite zone encountered in drill holes CS-24-010, 018 and 021 to the south.
Drill hole CS-24-023 encountered 12 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals with:
Six (6) intervals greater than 10 m wide, and
The widest individual interval measured 188.6 m and averaged
1.56% Li 2 O, including 26.0 m averaging2.03% Li 2 O.
Drill hole CS-24-023 confirmed that the main large continuous pegmatite system continues to the south.

Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Drill Holes CS24-022 and CS24-023 at Cisco Property
All intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in Table 1. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Drill hole collar information has been previously reported for each drill hole reported herein and is also available at: https://www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/.
Due to the Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") protocols in place by both Q2 and the analytical laboratory (SGS Canada), drill hole CS-24-020 was re-submitted for testing. Results will be reported when received and reviewed by Q2.
