VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO | OTCQB: QUEXF | FSE: 458) has announced promising initial assay results from its Winter 2025 drill program at the Cisco Lithium Project, located in Quebec's Eeyou Istchee James Bay region [1][2][3].

The company completed 6,980 meters of drilling across 14 holes during the program, with results from the first four holes now available [1][3]. The standout finding comes from Hole CS25-027, which yielded three significant lithium-rich intervals:

179.6 meters at 1.66% Li₂O 58.0 meters at 1.75% Li₂O 91.8 meters at 1.81% Li₂O

This hole, positioned 430 meters south of a previously drilled hole (CS24-023), has extended the known mineralized zone to approximately one kilometer in length [1]. The results from Hole 27 represent the best findings at the Cisco Project to date in terms of grade multiplied by width [1].

Other notable results include:

Hole CS25-024A: Widest interval of 39.5 m at 1.16% Li₂O Hole CS25-025: Widest interval of 29.0 m at 1.10% Li₂O Hole CS25-026: Widest interval of 23.9 m at 1.46% Li₂O

These findings are part of Q2 Metals' ongoing exploration efforts in the region, which has gained increasing attention for its lithium potential. The Eeyou Istchee James Bay area is emerging as a significant lithium district, with several companies actively exploring and developing projects in the area.

The Cisco Lithium Project's location within the traditional territory of the Nemaska Cree First Nation underscores the importance of responsible resource development and engagement with local communities [2][3].

As global demand for lithium continues to rise, driven by the growing electric vehicle and energy storage markets, discoveries like these in Quebec could play a crucial role in securing future supply chains.

Q2 Metals reports that assays for the remaining 10 drill holes from the winter program are still pending [2][3]. These additional results will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the Cisco Project's potential and could further influence the company's exploration strategy in the region.
