- Q2 Metals reports up to 188.6 metres grading 1.56 per cent Li₂O at its Cisco lithium property in James Bay, Quebec
- Drill hole CS-24-023 yielded a standout interval, including 26 metres at 2.03 per cent Li₂O
- Drill hole CS-24-022 confirmed continuity of spodumene mineralization with three wide intervals grading over 1.55 per cent Li₂O
- Results support significant growth potential to the south and east, with winter exploration planned
Q2 Metals (TSXV:QTWO) has announced strong assay results from its 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco lithium property in Quebec’s Eeyou Istchee James Bay region.
The standout result comes from drill hole CS-24-023, which intersected 188.6 metres grading 1.56 per cent lithium oxide (Li₂O), including a higher-grade section of 26 metres at 2.03 per cent Li₂O.
“The results of drill hole 23 successfully confirmed the continuity of spodumene mineralization over the 850-metre strike length and, combined with drill hole 22, which underscores the down-dip continuity between holes 13, 17, 18 and 22, reinforces our confidence in the scale of Cisco,” Neil McCallum, Q2 Metals’ vice president of exploration, said in a statement.
Key results
- CS-24-022:
- 55.8 metres at 1.60 per cent Li₂O.
- 52.3 metres at 1.78 per cent Li₂O, including 21 metres at 2.46 per cent Li₂O.
- 47.2 metres at 1.55 per cent Li₂O.
- CS-24-023:
- 188.6 metres at 1.56 per cent Li₂O, including 26 metres at 2.03 per cent Li₂O.
The results provide further evidence of the scale of the mineralized zone and validate previous findings, including a 215.6 metre interval grading 1.69 per cent Li₂O from earlier in 2024.
Exploration potential and future plans
Drill hole CS-24-023, collared to test the continuity of the main pegmatite zone, successfully demonstrated the system’s southward extension, while drill hole CS-24-022 confirmed down-dip continuity further reinforcing the property’s potential.
Q2 Metals plans a winter exploration program to explore growth potential to the south and east, as well as continued analysis of recent drill data. The company will showcase core samples at the AME Roundup in January 2025 and at PDAC 2025 in March.
