Q2 Metals Corp. has returned assay results from drill hole CS26-093 at the Cisco Lithium Project in the James Bay region of Quebec, intersecting three separate mineralized intervals including 403.7 metres at 1.57% Li₂O and 213.8 metres at 1.93% Li₂O.

The reported intervals cover 1,162 metres of drilling across two holes from the ongoing summer program. Hole 93 also returned a near-surface intercept of 60.8 metres at 1.24% Li₂O starting at a vertical depth of approximately 14 metres.

The company stated that hole 93 confirmed nearby infill targets and demonstrated down-dip continuity on the western portion of the deposit, with about 170 metres of the 403.7-metre interval occurring outside the conceptual pit shell from the April 2026 mineral resource estimate. A second hole, hole 91, intersected a narrower interval designed as a shallower follow-up to earlier drilling.

Drilling across the project has surpassed 50,000 metres, with 9,552 metres completed over 22 holes during the summer campaign. Four drill rigs are currently active in the main deposit area, with plans to test regional targets once additional rigs become available.

Work is focused on infill drilling to convert existing inferred resources into the indicated category. Those results will feed into an upcoming resource update and an ongoing Preliminary Economic Assessment designed to evaluate project economics and development potential.

Hole 93, with highlight intercepts of 213.8 metres at 1.98% Li 2 0 followed just 15 metres later by another 403 metres at 1.57% Li 2 O, is the best hole drilled at Cisco to date,” said Alicia Milne, Q2 Metals President and CEO. “ These results continue to further demonstrate the exceptional scale and continuity of mineralization at Cisco and reinforces our confidence in the Project’s significant growth potential.
