Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) has received assays from its 2026 Canadian summer drilling program, which returned the best intersection to date at the Cisco Lithium Project in Québec, Canada.
Hole CS26-093 returned 60.8m @ 1.24% lithium oxide (Li2O), 213.8m @ 1.93% Li2O, and 403.7m @ 1.57% Li2O.
Vice President of Exploration Sage McCallum says the hole exceeded the company’s expectations, intersecting three wide mineralised zones that collectively span 678m of the 803m hole — “making it the best hole ever drilled on the Cisco Project in terms of total mineralised pegmatite in one hole”.
“Our summer drill program is focused on infill drilling across the Cisco deposit area to support the advancement of the inferred mineral resource towards an indicated mineral resource classification,” McCallum says.
CEO Alicia Milne adds that these results further show the scale and continuity of mineralisation at Cisco and reinforce the company’s confidence in the project’s growth potential.
“With our drill program scheduled to continue through the fall and into winter, we are advancing multiple workstreams in parallel, including our preliminary economic assessment which will provide the first comprehensive assessment of Cisco’s development potential and economics,” Milne says.
To date, 22 holes for 9,552m of drilling have been completed. Four rigs are operating in the main Cisco deposit area, and once additional rigs become available, exploration and expansion drilling beyond the main deposit area will begin.
Cisco’s current resource totals 270 million tonnes (Mt) @ 1.36% Li2O, as well as an additional underground-constrained resource of 24Mt @ 1.34% Li2O.
Q2 Metals is a Canadian mineral explorer focused on advancing the Cisco Lithium Project in the James Bay region of Canada.
