Canadian explorer Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) is now planning an accelerated exploration program for 2025 as drilling at its Cisco Lithium Property in Québec continues to return wide intercepts of lithium.
The most recent results show intercepts of 347.1m @ 1.35% lithium, including seven higher-grade sub-intervals, such as 30m @ 1.76% in hole 21.
Two other holes returned 71.8m @ 1.01%, including 13.3m @ 1.77%; and 56.8m @ 1.06%, including 9.1m @ 1.80%.
All drill holes intersected pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralisation identified, according to Q2.
CEO Alicia Milne says the results for drill hole 21 have been widely anticipated, and it has delivered.
“We still have three more drill holes to report and are in the process of planning an accelerated exploration program in 2025 to understand the true potential at the Cisco Lithium Property,” Milne says.
Drill hole 21 targeted the central portions of the wide mineralised zone while holes 17 and 19 targeted the western portions of the zone.
Vice President of Exploration Neil McCallum says the results of the continuous, greater than 300m interval, have been yet another piece of validation to the story of Cisco.
“We’ve drilled some world-class intervals already, but the development of Cisco is still in its infancy and we look forward to continuing our understanding of the project through further drilling in 2025,” he says.
The latest results come from 1,431m of drilling across three holes completed in the recent summer program.
The results of three more holes are still to be reported.
The Cisco Property comprises 222 mineral claims spanning 11,374 hectares. It is located in the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region in Québec.
Q2 Metals has a portfolio of lithium projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region including its 100-per-cent-owned Mia and Cisco lithium properties.
