Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) has reported further ‘high-grade’ lithium intercepts from drilling at its Cisco Lithium Project in Québec, Canada, with results supporting resource definition ahead of a first economic assessment.
The latest results cover seven drill holes totalling more than 3,600m and complete reporting from the company’s 2026 winter program, which comprised about 10,515m across 19 holes.
One hole returned 137.6m grading 1.47% lithium oxide (Li₂O), including 40.6m at 3.25% Li₂O.
Another intersected 185.7m averaging 1.54% Li₂O, with more than 100m extending beyond the conceptual open pit used in this year’s mineral resource estimate.
Q2 says the results continue to define a higher-grade zone within the main mineralised body and support future resource upgrades.
The current inferred resource comprises 270 million tonnes grading 1.36% Li₂O, based on a spodumene-bearing pegmatite extending 1.8km along strike with a true thickness ranging from 2m to more than 450m.
The company says the remaining infill holes returned results consistent with expectations.
“These final results from our winter program continue to demonstrate the exceptional scale and consistency of the Cisco deposit,” Vice President of Exploration Neil McCallum says.
Q2 has begun its summer drilling program, which is focused on infill drilling and upgrading the resource ahead of a preliminary economic assessment.
Q2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on advancing the Cisco Project within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec.
