Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) reports extension of lithium mineralisation at Cisco Project in Québec
Drilling reveals multiple wide spodumene pegmatite intervals in newly completed hole
Mineralised zone now spans over one kilometre with additional drilling underway
Canadian lithium explorer Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) has reported a significant expansion in its primary discovery zone at the Cisco Lithium Project, located in the James Bay region of Québec. The project, situated in a region recognised for its lithium-rich geology, lies within the traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee and spans a substantial landholding.
Q2 Metals forms part of a broader conversation on critical minerals, including those tracked by the ASX 200, as global interest in lithium supply chains remains high. With exploration progress continuing across multiple regions, developments at Cisco are contributing to ongoing sector momentum.
Winter Drill Program Delivers Multiple Broad Intervals
The latest update from Q2 Metals comes as part of the 2025 winter drill campaign, which involved the completion of multiple diamond drill holes designed to test southern extensions of the main mineralised corridor. The focus was on assessing continuity and geological consistency across a wider strike length.
Among the holes drilled, hole twenty-seven has emerged as a standout, yielding several broad spodumene pegmatite intervals. These intercepts mark a clear extension from earlier drilling, particularly from hole twenty-three, which was positioned further to the north and had also intersected substantial mineralisation.
Step-Out Drilling Confirms Southern Continuity
Hole twenty-seven was collared to the south of previously completed drill sites, aiming to determine the extent of mineralisation beyond the original discovery area. The intervals identified in this hole are located several hundred metres south of prior intercepts and have now pushed the known strike length of lithium-bearing material to over one kilometre.
This development reflects the strategy adopted by Q2 Metals to test new outcrops and map the broader mineralisation trend. According to company statements, mineralisation remains open further to the southeast, with ongoing field activities continuing to assess these extensions.
Further Exploration Underway with Assays Pending
The company’s field team is actively engaged in a summer exploration program, which includes site preparation and geological mapping across the broader Cisco property. A follow-up drill campaign is fully funded and scheduled to begin in the coming weeks.
Assay results from the remaining holes drilled during the winter campaign are still pending, and updates are expected as laboratory analysis is completed. The company aims to use these results to refine the geological model and guide further step-out drilling across unexplored areas.
Lithium Corridor Gains Attention in Québec’s James Bay Region
The Cisco Lithium Project is located within a strategic corridor in Québec that has become a focal point for spodumene-bearing pegmatites. The broader area, including the Nemaska region, is host to several active exploration projects, making it a critical zone for lithium-related exploration.
Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO), with its extensive land package and active exploration campaigns, remains engaged in expanding its geological understanding of the region. The latest drill results are contributing data to define the scale and continuity of the mineralised zone, forming part of ongoing technical assessments throughout the property.
