# Q2 Metals Intercepts 457.4 metres of 1.65% Li?O in Drill Hole 44 at the Cisco Lithium Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/q2-metals-intercepts-457-4-metres-of-1-65-li-o-in-drill-hole-44-at-the-cisco-lit--c3742e8b-e4fc-4bf9-933e-4b27325c0cbb Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/QTWO/news/7426369581587592/q2-metals-intercepts-457-4-metres-of-1-65-li-o-in-drill-hole-44-at-the-cisco-lit Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2025-12-03T08:44:00.000Z 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, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-16 18:59:51 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Q2 Metals reported significant lithium drill results at the Cisco Lithium Project, highlighted by hole CS25-044 which intercepted 457.4 metres at 1.65% Li2O. The results extend mineralization beyond the previously defined Exploration Target and are intended to support an inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate expected in Q1 2026. Reasoning: The release reports a standout lithium intercept of 457.4m at 1.65% Li2O, which is the widest continuous spodumene pegmatite drilled to date for the company, and notes that mineralization is expanding beyond previous targets. - Positive factor: Exceptional lithium width and grade in hole CS25-044 - Positive factor: Mineralization extended outside previously defined Exploration Target bounds - Positive factor: Infill drilling supporting upcoming maiden Mineral Resource Estimate - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off disclosed - Negative factor: True width not yet determined as pegmatite zones are being refined Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Significant intervals occurred outside the previously defined bounds of the mineralized zone defined by the Exploration Target. Evidence · text > significant intervals occurring outside the previously defined bounds of the mineralized zone defined by the Exploration Target **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The current campaign is described as infill drilling to support an upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate. Evidence · text > Infill drilling for incorporation into the initial Mineral Resource Estimate **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: The release details the use of quartz blanks, CRMs, and duplicates, and notes QP verification. Evidence · text > A Quality Assurance / Quality Control \(QA/QC\) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. **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 yet representative of true width. Evidence · text > mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

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.
