VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 11, 2024 / Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update from its Summer 2024 Drill Program 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.
The Summer 2024 Drill Campaign is focused on exploring the connection of the wide, continuous pegmatite zones encountered in holes CS24-010 and CS24-018, located approximately 300 m apart and continuing to drill the large (1.9 by 1.5 kilometres (km)) surface mineralized area in a systematic grid-like manner with wide hole spacing (200 m), and infill drilling in areas with better results. Three (3) drill holes (CS24-019 to 021) have now been completed for approximately 1,419 m and the visual results of each are herein reported on. All holes intercepted pegmatites with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified.
"The Cisco Property continues to deliver and exceed expectations," said Q2 Metals President and CEO Alicia Milne. "The latest visuals from holes 19 to 21 reveal thick intersections of spodumene-mineralized pegmatite with beautiful white core and large crystals, reaffirming Cisco's immense potential and scale."
"With the verification of a large and continuous mineralized body at the core of our drill-tested area, hole 21 has been an absolute mindset shift for our team," said Q2 VP Exploration Neil McCallum. "Our next steps will be to continue to expand upon our already excellent results."
Summer 2024 Drilling Update
Drill holes CS24-019 and 020 were drilled approximately 100 m to the southwest of hole CS24-014 at the CO3 outcrop area, extending the drill-defined strike length to 850 m.
Drill hole CS24-021 was designed to test the Company's theory of the continuation of the large pegmatite intervals in drill hole CS24-010 which reported a continuous interval of 120.3 m at
The continuous interval of 347.1 m in hole CS24-021 is located 100 m to the southwest of drill hole CS24-010 and 200 m northeast of drill hole CS24-018. The definition and expansion of a large, continuous and well-mineralized spodumene pegmatite zone is the priority for the rest of the 2024 season and the upcoming winter drilling season.
Drill hole CS24-019 encountered 16 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals. Four (4) intervals are greater than 10 m wide, with the widest individual interval measuring 56.8 m.
Drill hole CS24-020 encountered 17 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals. Four (4) intervals are greater than 10 m wide, with the widest individual interval measuring 22.2 m.
Drill hole CS24-021 encountered five (5) individual spodumene pegmatite intervals. One (1) interval is greater than 10 m wide, with the widest individual interval measuring 347.1 m.
The mineralized intervals in all the holes are not necessarily representative of the true width and the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.
Cautionary Statement: The presence of pegmatites does not confirm the presence of lithium (spodumene or other lithium minerals). Pegmatites are fractionated coarse grained igneous rocks commonly associated with lithium mineralization; however, many pegmatites do not contain mineralization. The presence of any mineralization can only be confirmed with assaying.
The geological team has completed the core cutting and logging of hole CS24-019 to CS24-021 and the samples have been dispatched to the SGS Canada preparation laboratory located in Val-d'Or, QC for mineral analysis to confirm the presence of lithium.
Private Placement Financing
The Company remains well-funded, having recently completed a non-brokered private placement financing and raised total gross proceeds of
On August 2, 2024, the Company announced that it had completed the first tranche of the private placement, raising a total of
Each flow-through unit and each charity flow-through unit consisted of one flow-through common share of the Company (a "FT Share") and one half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional non- flow-through common share of the Company at a price of
Gross proceeds from the issuance of the charity flow-through units and the flow-through units will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures", as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), on the Company's lithium projects in Quebec that the Company will renounce to the subscribers pursuant to the Tax Act with an effective date not later than December 31, 2024. Where applicable, gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares from purchasers in Québec will also qualify as "Canadian exploration expense" under the Taxation Act (Québec) and qualify for inclusion in the "exploration base relating to certain Québec exploration expenses" and the "exploration base relating to certain Québec surface mining exploration expenses", under the Taxation Act (Québec). Proceeds from the sale of the NFT Units will be used for general working capital.
