Q2 Metals unveils Cisco expansion program

Q2 Metals (TSX-V:QTWO) is targeting to conduct a 6,000m to 8,000m diamond drilling program next month at the Cisco Lithium Project in Québec, Canada as part of its winter program. 

On 1 February 2025, the company will begin drilling using two diamond drill rigs, with the aim of expanding upon previous drill results from the 2024 program. 

The 2025 winter drilling program will continue until mid-April.

Some of the results from the 2024 program include 215.6m @ 1.69% lithium oxide and 188.6m @ 1.56% lithium oxide. 

Vice President of Exploration Neil McCallum says since completing the 2024 program, the company has been evaluating all of the data to gain a better understanding of Cisco. 

“We have several highly promising targets that we are eager to explore to better understand the extent of Cisco,” McCallum says. 

CEO Alicia Milne adds that the company will continue to reveal the project’s potential as it expands on the known mineralisation zone by stepping out into untested areas of Cisco. 

The Cisco Lithium Project, comprising 39,389 hectares, is located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region. 

Q2 Metals will be attending and exhibiting on site at the 2025 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada event (PDAC 2025) in Toronto, Ontario. The company is exhibiting from 2-5 March 2025.
