Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) has launched the 2025 Canadian winter diamond drilling program at the Cisco Lithium Project in Québec.
The program, which will target 6,000m to 8,000m of drilling, will focus on expanding upon results from the 2024 drilling campaign. Some of the results from the 2024 program included 215.6m @ 1.69% lithium oxide and 188.6m @ 1.56% lithium oxide.
Vice President of Exploration Neil McCallum says with drilling underway, the company aims to explore highly promising zones that were mapped and sampled this past summer.
“We’ve only just begun to unlock the potential of the Cisco Project and with over a kilometre to the southwest and 900m to the east that have yet to be drill tested, the step out drilling that we’ve planned will be pivotal in understanding the extent of the mineralisation that we’ve seen so far,” McCallum says.
“One drill rig will be used to test to the southwest of drillhole CS-24-023 to define the strike length of mineralisation, and the other drill rig will be used to test to the east of drillhole CS-24-018 and CS-24-021 to identify potential additional parallel pegmatite zones.”
Q2 Metals notes the first drillhole of this year is a 400m step out from the easternmost hole of the 2024 program.
Since May 2024, Q2 Metals has drilled nearly 6,360m of drilling over 17 holes. To date, all of the drillholes have intersected pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralisation identified.
The Cisco Project covers 39,389 hectares and sits along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt in the James Bay region of Québec.
Q2 Metals is a Canadian mineral explorer focused on unlocking its portfolio of lithium projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec, Canada.
