Cisco’s ‘robust, continuous’ nature piques Q2 Metals’ interest 

Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) is continuing to explore the “robust and continuous” nature of the Cisco Lithium Project in Québec, Canada, following the completion of four drillholes. 

As part of the 2025 Canadian winter drilling campaign, comprising between 6,000m and 8,000m of drilling, 2,570m of drilling has been completed to date. 

The company is using two diamond drill rigs with the aim of expanding upon previous drill results from the 2024 campaign. Drilling is expected to continue until mid-April. 

Q2 Metals reveals multiple wide intercepts of continuous spodumene pegmatite were encountered, which increases the extent of previously encountered mineralisation. 

All of the holes intercepts pegmatites with visual indications of spodumene mineralisation. 

CEO Alicia Milne says drilling will continue with step outs to the south and east of the project. 

“We are extraordinarily pleased with these initial findings from our winter campaign which has not only produced one of our top holes in terms of the total amount of spodumene pegmatite per hole, but continues to provide important information about the mineralisation at Cisco,” Milne says. 

Vice President of Exploration Neil McCallum adds that the first four holes have expanded the strike length of the mineralised system and confirmed that it continues to extend to the south. 

“Hole-27, with 179.6m of continuous spodumene pegmatite, plus an additional 58 and 91.8m of continuous spodumene pegmatite, lends further support to our theory of a south-trending mineralised system, which now extends over a kilometre,” he says. 

The Cisco Project sits along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, composed of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District. 

The company will be attending the Ignite Investment Summit in Hong Kong on 26-27 March 2025.

It will also be attending and exhibiting at the Tribeca Future Facing Commodities 2025 Conference in Singapore on 1-3 April.
