# Q2 Metals Extends Known Mineralized Zone with 179.2 Metre Intercept of 1.24% Li?O at the Cisco Lithium Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/q2-metals-extends-known-mineralized-zone-with-179-2-metre-intercept-of-1-24-li-o--ed87dbb7-e446-4c3f-8a5e-84b458c55387 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/QTWO/news/5399616794152766/q2-metals-extends-known-mineralized-zone-with-179-2-metre-intercept-of-1-24-li-o Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-01-22T12:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Q2 Metals Corp. - Ticker: QTWO - Exchange: TSX - Region: Quebec, Canada - Primary commodity: Lithium - Secondary commodities: Tantalum - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-16 18:55:41 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Q2 Metals has reported significant lithium drill results from its Cisco Lithium Project in Quebec, highlighted by a 179.2 metre intercept of 1.24% Li2O in hole CS25-065. The results extend the known mineralized zone to the north and support the company's objective of delivering an inaugural inferred Mineral Resource Estimate in Q1 2026. Reasoning: The announcement reports high-grade lithium intercepts that extend the known mineralized footprint of the Cisco Project, providing significant exploration upside. - Positive factor: Significant 179.2m intercept at 1.24% Li2O - Positive factor: Extension of known mineralized zone to the north - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts in multiple holes - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off disclosed - Negative factor: Apparent widths reported as core widths without true width disclosure - Negative factor: Pegmatite zones still being refined Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drill hole CS25-065 extends the system to the north where mineralization was not expected. Evidence · text > extends the system to the north at shallow depths where mineralization was not expected **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release includes details on laboratory \(SGS\), insertion of blanks/standards, and QP sign-off. Evidence · text > A Quality Assurance / Quality Control \(QA/QC\) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: All intervals are reported as core widths and are not representative of true width. Evidence · text > All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
