Q2 Metals Corp. has announced the remaining analytical results from its 2025 drill program at the Cisco Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada. The results stem from 5,587.7 meters of drilling across nine drill holes.
A total of 74 drill holes, totaling 31,961 meters, will inform the company’s inaugural inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Cisco Project. The company is currently modelling the inaugural inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for the Cisco Lithium Project, incorporating all results from drilling completed up to the end of 2025.
Drill hole CS25-073 yielded a 40.1-meter interval at 2.89% Li2O, which the company says is the most significant high-grade interval to date on the Cisco project. The potential for a higher-grade portion within the existing Mineralized Zone will be drill tested this season.
According to the company, drill hole-63 extended the boundary of the known Mineralized Zone to the west with a 75.4 m wide mineralized pegmatite interval averaging 1.67% Li2O, in an area that was only partially mapped within the Exploration Target. Additional work will be undertaken to understand the extent of mineralization in that area.
Q2 Metals Corp. reported drill hole CS25-063 returned 13 separate intervals, including 75.4 m at 1.67% Li2O and 21.8 m at 1.12% Li2O. Drill hole CS25-064 returned nine separate intervals, including 166.7 m at 1.47% Li2O. Drill hole CS25-072 returned eight separate intervals, including 82.1 m at 1.71% Li2O, 109.5 m at 1.67% Li2O, and 121.6 m at 1.45% Li2O. Drill hole CS25-073 returned five separate intervals, including 170.2 m at 1.99% Li2O (including 40.1 m at 2.89% Li2O), 74.2 m at 0.94% Li2O, 78.5 m at 1.47% Li2O, and 108.7 m at 1.52% Li2O.
Drill hole CS23-018, located 100 meters southwest of CS25-073, previously encountered a 215.6 m interval at 1.69% Li2O, including 64.6 m at 2.29% Li2O.
The company published an Exploration Target in July 2025 on the main mineralized zone. The Exploration Target estimated a range of potential lithium mineralization of 215 to 329 million tonnes at a grade ranging from 1.0 to 1.38% Li2O, based only on the first 40 holes drilled.
Drilling in the latter half of 2025 prioritized infill-scale drilling utilizing four drill rigs within the Mineralized Zone. The tightened drill spacing was designed to support the Company’s objective of delivering an initial inferred MRE on the Cisco Project in the first quarter of 2026.
The 2026 drill campaign at the Cisco Lithium Project started in late January with four drill rigs. The primary focus of the drill campaign will be on continued infill drilling of the Mineralized Zone which is the subject of the inferred MRE anticipated to be published in Q1 2026. Exploration drilling will also be incorporated to test the expansion potential of areas outside of the Mineralized Zone.
Members of the Q2 Metals team will be attending the Prospectors and Developers Association Convention (PDAC) March 1-4, 2026 in Toronto, Ontario. The Company will also be attending the 121 Mining Event in Hong Kong March 11-12, 2026 and the Ignite Conference in Singapore April 21-22, 2026.
Q2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company advancing the Cisco Lithium Project, located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee, James Bay region of Quebec, Canada.
