Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) begins defining an exploration framework for the Cisco Lithium Project in Québec
Independent firm BBA Engineering engaged to support geological estimations for the mineralised zone
Drilling and sampling results to inform future fieldwork through the Canadian summer
Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO), operating within the lithium exploration sector, has commenced a key stage in its development of the Cisco Lithium Project in Québec. The initiative follows the receipt of final assay results from the winter drilling campaign. In alignment with broader market sentiment, which recently saw the ASX 200 rise, exploration companies continue to report incremental progress across resource-rich regions.
Located within the Nemaska traditional territory in Québec’s James Bay region, the Cisco property covers an extensive landholding. The winter drill program has yielded multiple assay results, guiding the next phase of evaluation through geological analysis and fieldwork.
Exploration Target Underway at Cisco Property
Q2 Metals has enlisted the services of BBA Engineering to deliver an exploration framework that outlines the conceptual estimate of the quantity and grade of mineralisation at Cisco. This step is a preliminary measure, not intended as a resource or reserve classification, but rather as a guide for structuring future drilling initiatives.
The focus remains on the main mineralised zone of the property, where earlier drill samples have indicated relevant lithium-bearing intersections. The new framework aims to assist in structuring and refining future activity across the site.
Drilling Results Feed into Planning Efforts
The recent release of results from ten drillholes has added significant context to the project’s development. These outcomes contribute to the design of upcoming drill programs while providing insights into geochemistry and subsurface structure.
Although visible spodumene was not observed, findings related to pegmatite mineralisation and associated trace elements such as rubidium, caesium, and tantalum are central to refining the approach. Sampling efforts have highlighted zones requiring further follow-up to validate continuity and consistency.
Field Mapping and Sampling Continue Through Summer
Exploration crews are currently active on-site, engaged in mapping and collecting samples across prospective zones. As of the latest update, over three hundred rock samples have been gathered, offering data on pegmatite intrusions and local mineral composition.
Field activities are expected to extend through the Canadian summer, with the first drill collar of the next phase anticipated shortly. These programs support a broader evaluation of the property's geological potential while building a knowledge base for future technical decisions.
Global Lithium Trends Reinforce Strategic Focus
The Cisco project aligns with ongoing shifts in the global lithium market, where electrification trends continue to shape demand. Lithium remains a central component in battery technologies for electric vehicles and stationary energy storage systems.
With heightened activity in regions like China and increased application in heavy-duty transport, the outlook for upstream lithium projects remains active. Q2 Metals positions its fieldwork and early-stage assessment in this evolving global landscape while continuing to refine the approach to its Québec-based operations.
