Q2 Metals Expands Drill Program at Cisco Lithium Project in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec

Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") has announced details of its expansion drill program for the Cisco Lithium Project in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. The fully-funded program is set to commence on February 1, 2025, targeting 6,000-8,000 meters of drilling using two diamond drill rigs. The primary objective is to continue expanding upon the exceptional drill results from the 2024 drill campaign, which included:

* Drill hole CS-24-018: 215.6m at 1.69% Li2O
* Drill hole CS-24-021: 347.1m at 1.35% Li2O
* Drill hole CS-24-023: 188.6m at 1.56% Li2O

The 2025 Winter Drill Program aims to define the strike length of the mineralized zones by testing to the southwest of drill hole CS-24-023 and to define potential additional parallel pegmatite zones by testing to the east of drill holes CS-24-018 and CS-24-021. The program will run until mid-April 2025, with systematic drilling carried out in step-outs between 200 and 400 meters apart.



The Cisco Lithium Project has district-scale potential, with an already identified mineralized zone and discovery drill results that include 120.3 meters at 1.72% Li2O (hole CS-24-010), 215.6 meters at 1.69% Li2O (hole CS-24-018), 347.1 meters at 1.35% Li2O (hole CS-24-021), and 188.6 meters at 1.56% Li2O (hole CS-24-023). Since May 2024, the Company has drilled a total of 6,359.7 meters over 17 holes, with all drill holes intercepting pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified.

The 2025 Winter Drill Program is fully funded, and the Company will be attending and exhibiting at the upcoming AME Roundup and PDAC events, where it will showcase core from the 2024 drill season and provide updates on the progress of the 2025 program. Q2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on unlocking its portfolio of lithium projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, with the Cisco Lithium Project being one of its flagship assets.

The expansion drill program at the Cisco Lithium Project is a testament to Q2 Metals' commitment to exploring and developing its lithium assets in the region. With the support of the local community and the government, the Company is well-positioned to continue its exploration efforts and potentially unlock significant value for shareholders. As the global demand for lithium continues to grow, driven by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, the successful development of the Cisco Lithium Project could play a crucial role in meeting this demand.
