Q2 Metals (OTCQB: QUEXF) has significantly expanded its exploration program at the Cisco Lithium Project in Quebec following a $26 million flow-through financing completed in August 2025. The company has drilled 46 holes totaling 20,138 metres since June 2025, with three drill rigs currently operating and a fourth expected in November.
The project's Exploration Target estimates 215-329 million tonnes at 1.0-1.38% Li2O grade. Current drilling focuses on infill spacing of the main 1.5km mineralized zone for an initial inferred Mineral Resource estimate. Preliminary metallurgical tests showed strong recoveries using DMS circuit, with additional testing planned for September 2025.
The company continues regional mapping and sampling across its 41,253-hectare claim package, with ongoing geophysical surveys to guide exploration.
Q2 Metals (OTCQB: QUEXF) has announced successful metallurgical test results from its Cisco Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada. The tests, conducted by SGS Canada, confirmed the project's suitability for Dense Media Separation (DMS) processing.
Three composite samples achieved significant results: Composite 18 yielded 74.1% recovery with 5.69% Li2O concentrate, Composite 21 achieved 69.6% recovery with 5.08% Li2O concentrate, and Composite 23 delivered 71.6% recovery with 5.60% Li2O concentrate. Notably, all samples demonstrated low iron content between 0.42-0.55% Fe2O3.
The Cisco Project, spanning 41,253 hectares with 801 claims, shows district-scale potential with an initial Exploration Target of 215-329 million tonnes at 1.0-1.38% Li2O. The company plans additional Heavy Liquid Separation testing on other areas of the main mineralized zone.
Q2 Metals (OTCQB: QUEXF) has announced an initial Exploration Target for its Cisco Lithium Project in Quebec's James Bay region, estimating 215 to 329 million tonnes of lithium mineralization at grades ranging from 1.0% to 1.38% Li2O. The estimate is based on the first 40 drill holes totaling 16,167.8 meters.
The Mineralized Zone remains open at depth and along strike, with significant expansion potential. Notable drill results include intersections of 120.3m at 1.72% Li2O and 347.1m at 1.35% Li2O. The project benefits from strategic infrastructure, including proximity to the Billy Diamond Highway and rail access at nearby Matagami.
The company continues its 2025 Summer Program with ongoing drilling and expects rolling assay results into Q3 2025 as it works toward establishing a maiden resource estimate.
