Q2 Metals increases Cisco Lithium Project's mineralized zone strike length to 1.5 kilometers.

The winter exploration program included 14 drillholes, with 10 encountering spodumene-bearing pegmatite.

Metallurgical testing is underway to assess the potential beneficiation of the mineralized zone at Cisco.

Q2 Metals, a Canadian exploration company, is advancing its Cisco Lithium Project located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec, Canada. The project has seen significant progress, particularly with the recent winter exploration program for 2025, which has extended the strike length of the mineralized zone to 1.5 kilometers.

Exploration Program Progress

As part of the exploration efforts, Q2 Metals completed 14 drillholes for a total of nearly 7,000 meters. Notably, 10 of these drillholes intercepted spodumene-bearing pegmatite, which is considered an important indicator of lithium mineralization. Assay results for all 14 drillholes are expected to be released next month.

In addition to drilling, the company sent samples to SGS Canada for preliminary metallurgical testing. The testing aims to evaluate how best to beneficiate the mineralized material using a traditional lithium pegmatite flowsheet. Q2 Metals has emphasized that the focus of this work is to produce a high-grade spodumene concentrate with more than 6% lithium oxide and low iron content, while maximizing lithium recovery.

Strategic Location and Future Drilling Plans

The Cisco Lithium Project is strategically located in the southernmost part of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region, approximately 150 kilometers from rail access, which the company views as a significant advantage for future development. CEO Alicia Milne expressed confidence in the project’s long-term prospects, noting that the company is well-funded and ready to continue its exploration activities.

Q2 Metals plans to resume drilling in June. According to Vice President of Exploration Neil McCallum, the winter program has doubled the strike length of the main mineralized zone, and the company has begun to test other areas of interest. McCallum noted that exploration at Cisco is far from complete, as less than 10% of the land package has been explored so far. The company intends to focus on additional mapping and sampling this summer, particularly along the 30-kilometer-long greenstone belt.

Long-Term Outlook for Cisco Lithium Project

The Cisco Lithium Project remains open for expansion in all directions and at depth, providing further potential for the discovery of additional mineralized zones. The company has emphasized that it will continue to focus on systematically defining the known mineralized zone and exploring other parts of the project in the coming months.

Q2 Metals continues to advance its exploration efforts at the Cisco Lithium Project with the goal of building a comprehensive understanding of the mineralized zone and its potential to support future lithium production.
