Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) has acquired a 100% interest in 545 mineral claims, more than tripling its mineral claim position at the Cisco Lithium Property Québec, Canada.
Located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region, the Cisco Property comprises a total of 767 contiguous mineral claims over 39,389 hectares, including more than 30km of strike length on the Frotet-Evans Greenstone Belt.
Upon satisfaction of the above payments and expenditures, the company will earn a 100% interest in the additional Cisco claims.
Neil McCallum, Vice President of Exploration says while Q2 Metals eagerly awaits the pending release of remaining assay results from the lab, the company has been focused on planning its winter 2025 exploration program.
“These additional claims add a tremendous amount of mineral prospectivity at Cisco as they include more of the greenstone belt that has been our focus this year and which has yielded such tremendous success. As we approach year end, we’re looking forward to further updates and a very busy 2025,” McCallum says.
The additional Cisco claims are primarily south of the original Cisco property, adding several kilometres of prospective greenstone rocks and providing extensive strategic sites for future development and mining infrastructure scenarios.
Q2 Metals CEO Alicia Milne since acquiring Cisco, the company has been able to clearly demonstrate its world-class potential for grade and scale, while also focusing on key future development pathways.
“These additional claims provide us with a major footprint in an emerging, top lithium jurisdiction and provide us exceptional optionality for future development,” says Milne.
Cisco is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130km and 180km away, respectively.
Since May 2024, the company has drilled a total of 6,359.7m over 17 holes at the Cisco Lithium Property. All drill holes intercepted pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified.
