# Q2 Metals Reports Multiple Wide Intercepts, Including 264.6 Metres at 1.84% Li?O and 152.9 Metres at 1.59% Li?O in Drill Hole 71 at the Cisco Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/q2-metals-reports-multiple-wide-intercepts-including-264-6-metres-at-1-84-li-o-a--42780c5d-2317-40e9-b128-2a212331ec76 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/QTWO/news/8241730268264323/q2-metals-reports-multiple-wide-intercepts-including-264-6-metres-at-1-84-li-o-a Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-06-02T09:30:00.000Z 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 18:44:12 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Q2 Metals reported significant lithium drill results from its 2026 Winter Drill Program at the Cisco Lithium Project in Quebec, including a 264.6m intercept at 1.84% Li2O in hole CS25-071. The results confirm the continuity of the main mineralized zone and support the company's objective of advancing the Inferred resource toward an Indicated classification. Reasoning: The release reports several significant, wide lithium intercepts that exceed the deposit average, supporting the ongoing infill and expansion drilling program at a large-scale lithium project. - Positive factor: Multiple wide high-grade lithium intercepts - Positive factor: Confirmation of main mineralized zone in hole 71 - Positive factor: Infill drilling supporting resource expansion - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off disclosed - Negative factor: Apparent widths reported without true width disclosure Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drill hole 77 defines a westward continuation of mineralization from hole 65. Evidence · text > is a roughly 100 m westward continuation of previously announced drill hole-65 **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The company explicitly states the goal of the 2026 Winter Drill Program was infill drilling. Evidence · text > The goal of 2026 Winter Drill Program was infill drilling **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 details laboratory \(SGS\), sampling protocols, and use of blanks and CRMs. 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 reported intervals are core widths and the company notes they 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: 9. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (9) ### CS25-071 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/q2-metals-reports-multiple-wide-intercepts-including-264-6-metres-at-1-84-li-o-a--42780c5d-2317-40e9-b128-2a212331ec76#fact-drill-facts-0) Cisco · lithium #### Identity - Hole ID: CS25-071 - Project: Cisco - Commodity: lithium - Region: canada\_qc - Reported Region: canada\_qc - Ticker: QTWO #### Geometry - Grade: 1.84 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 264.6 m #### Classification - Program: resource - Sample Type: drill - Mining Method: open\_pit #### QA/QC - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards, blanks, duplicates #### Compositing - Dilution Disclosed: Yes #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
