- Q2 Metals to initiate an extensive diamond drilling program at Cisco Lithium Project.
- The 2025 exploration campaign aims to extend the promising mineralized zones.
- Q2 Metals showcases project potential at PDAC 2025 in Toronto.
Q2 Metals is set to launch a major expansion of its Cisco Lithium Project in Québec, Canada, starting February 1, 2025. The company plans a 6,000m to 8,000m diamond drilling program aimed at enhancing the project’s known lithium mineralization and uncovering additional high-potential targets.
The winter drilling campaign will involve two diamond drill rigs that will operate through to mid-April 2025. The upcoming drilling is designed to follow up on the promising results from the company’s 2024 drill campaign, which reported significant intervals of lithium mineralization, including 215.6m @ 1.69% lithium oxide and 188.6m @ 1.56% lithium oxide.
Neil McCallum, Vice President of Exploration at Q2 Metals, explained that since completing the 2024 exploration, the team has been thoroughly assessing all the data in order to refine the understanding of Cisco’s potential. “We have identified several highly promising targets and are eager to explore these further to expand the scope of Cisco’s mineralization,” McCallum commented.
The Cisco Lithium Project, located within the traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee in the James Bay region, spans a vast 39,389 hectares. This significant land position offers immense potential for the discovery of additional high-grade lithium mineralization, a critical component in the global transition to renewable energy and electric vehicles.
Alicia Milne, CEO of Q2 Metals, emphasized the company's commitment to advancing the Cisco project. “Through this expanded drilling program, we aim to explore new, untested areas and continue to unlock the full potential of Cisco,” Milne stated.
The company will also highlight its progress at the upcoming Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) event in Toronto, which runs from March 2 to 5, 2025. As part of this gathering, Q2 Metals will showcase its exploration efforts and future goals to industry leaders, investors, and other stakeholders.
With these exploration developments, Q2 Metals is making significant strides toward further realizing the full potential of the Cisco Lithium Project, which could play a key role in supporting the growing demand for lithium and renewable energy solutions.
