Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) has intersected 272.5m @ 1.61% lithium oxide at drillhole 36 amid an ongoing drilling campaign at the Cisco Lithium Project in Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec.
Vice President of Exploration Neil McCallum describes hole 36 to be a “significant confirmation” to the width of the greater mineralised zone.
“Importantly, the mineralised zone remains open at depth and along strike, indicating strong potential for further expansion,” McCallum says.
The company has received intervals from the first three drillholes, with hole 38 intersecting 66.5m @ 1.55% lithium oxide and 58.9m @ 1.09% lithium oxide as its widest of 17 intervals.
Drillhole 39 returned 12 intervals featuring 108.5m @ 1.62% lithium oxide, 71m @ 1.84% lithium oxide, 77.7m @ 1.48% lithium oxide, and 107.4m @ 1.87% lithium oxide.
“Our geology team has designed a robust drilling program for the upcoming drilling program as we continue to define the extent of the mineralised zone and advance toward an inferred mineral resource estimate,” McCallum adds.
Q2 currently has three drill rigs operating across the Cisco Project, with a fourth scheduled to begin drilling next month.
The company intends to prioritise infill-scale drilling across the main mineralised zone in the upcoming drilling campaign.
Q2 Metals is a Canadian explorer focused on unlocking its portfolio of lithium projects in Québec.
