Q2 Metals seeks to unlock Cisco’s value

Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) CEO Alicia Milne says the company is well-positioned to continue drilling at the Cisco Lithium Project in Québec, Canada, as part of its strategy to unlock the full value of the project. 

An expanded drilling program for the Canadian fall and winter will continue to tighten the drill spacing within the mineralised zone, as Q2 Metals works towards an inferred resource estimate. A portion of the program will also test additional outcrop zones with the support of geophysical targeting. 

This news comes after multiple wide intercepts of continuous spodumene pegmatite were encountered within eight holes drilled, as part of the 2025 infill drilling program at Cisco. 

“The visual results from our summer drill program are giving us a clearer picture of the mineralised zone at Cisco,” Milne says. 

“The scale and consistency of the spodumene-bearing pegmatite intercepted to date reinforces the long-term potential of the Cisco Project.”

Q2 Metals has three rigs currently operating on the project, primarily focused on infill scale spacing of the main mineralised zone.

Vice President of Exploration Neil McCallum says the mineralised zone remains open at depth and along strike. 

“Our geology team has designed a robust drilling campaign for the fall and winter as we continue to define the mineralised zone and work towards an inferred mineral resource estimate,” McCallum says.  

The Cisco Project, comprising 810 claims over 41,253 hectares, has district-scale potential with an already-identified mineralised zone. 

Q2 Metals is focused on unlocking its portfolio of lithium projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec, Canada.
