Q2 Metals expands mineralization at Quebec lithium project with space exploration tech

Q2 Metals (TSXV: QTWO) recently announced multiple wide, mineralized intercepts at its Cisco lithium project in Quebec, enhanced by real-time multi-physics imaging enabled by Fleet Space’s ExoSphere platform.

As part of its ongoing 2025 drill program, Q2 Metals said it has identified high-grade mineralization from three drill holes — reinforcing the district-scale potential of one of Canada’s most promising emerging lithium regions.
 
The Cisco lithium project, located within the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region, spans over 410 sq. km. The initial exploration target ranges 215 to 329 million tonnes at a grade between 1% and 1.38% lithium oxide (Li₂O).

With mineralization confirmed across multiple wide pegmatite zones, the project has the potential to strengthen the resilience of North America’s lithium supply chain, the company said.

Hole CS25-038 delivered 17 separate intervals, the widest being 66.5 metres at 1.55% Li₂O and 58.9 metres at 1.09% Li₂O. Another hole, CS25-039, showed 12 separate intervals, including 108.5 metres at 1.62% Li₂O, 71 metres at 1.84% Li₂O, 77.7 metres at 1.48% Li₂O and 107.4 metres at 1.87% Li₂O.

Additionally, drill results for hole CS25-036 expanded the known mineralization zone at Cisco with nine intervals, the widest being 272.5 metres at 1.61% Li₂O, and it continues open at depth and along strike.

A fourth drill rig was brought in to support efforts to deliver an initial mineral resource estimate in the first half of 2026, the company said.

Last month, the Cisco project was recognized by the Association de I’exploration minière du Québec (AEMQ) as a finalist for the Discovery of the Year Award.
