Vancouver, British Columbia, December 17, 2024 – Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO | OTCQB:
QUEXF | FSE: 458) (“Q2” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has received core assay
results on drill hole CS-24-020, as well as one small interval that was remaining on drill hole CS-
24-021 from the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property (the “Property” or the “Cisco
Property”) located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James
Bay region of Quebec, Canada . All core assay results from the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco
Property have now been received and reported on.
The Company also announces that all share purchase warrants original ly issued in a December
2022 private placement financing were exercised in advance of their December 15, 2024 expiry
date. Total proceeds of $1,906,250 was received from the exercise of 6,250,000 share purchase
warrants bearing a strike price of $0.305 per share.
“2024 has been a transformative year for Q2. Since its acquisition in February 2024, we have been
focused on the Cisco Property, which has far surpass ed our lofty expectations,” said Neil
McCallum, Q2 Metals Vice President of Exploration. “With the final drill results now reported on
from our 2024 exploration campaign, we are eager to resume work on Cisco in late January and
expand on the exceptional results we’ve received so far.”
“We are pleased that t he cash proceeds from the exercise of expiring warrants, as well as the
exercise of other in-the-money warrants, will further add to Q2’s strong balance sheet, providing
us with a solid financial foundation from which we will continue to build shareholder value

through the drill bit with our 2025 winter exploration program,” said Alicia Milne, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Q2 Metals. “Plans for the winter campaign at Cisco are being finalized
and will be detailed early in the new year.”
Results for CS-24-020
The analytical results reported herein represent 405 m of drilling over one (1) hole (CS-24-020),
as well as the uppermost interval of drill hole CS -24-021, during the 2024 drill campaign.
Complete highlighted intervals from hole CS-24-020, are summarized in Table 1 and represented
in Figure 1, with two cross sections in Figures 2 and 3.
Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Holes with Analytical Results at Cisco Property
Drill hole CS-24-020 was drilled on the same pad as hole CS-24-023 and approximately 150 m to
the southeast of hole CS -24-019. The results reveal several separate mineralized intervals
including the widest intervals: 26.5 m at 1.08% Li2O, 15.8 m at 1.43% Li2O, 13.5 m at 1.25% Li2O
and 41.6 m at 0.90% Li2O.
Figure 2. Cross Section C (looking northeast)
All drill holes from the 2024 drill campaign are detailed in Figure 3 from northeast to southwest
and represent a drill-defined strike length of approximately 850 m. The surface outcrops and
drilling suggest that the mineralization may continue to the south for another 1,050 m.
As p reviously reported , drill hole CS -24-023, drilled from the same drill pad as CS -24-020,
confirms the continuity of the mineralized system to the southeast and the mineralized system
remains open in both directions.

Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco Property
All intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-
pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut -
offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and
mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as
the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Complete drill hole
collar, lithology and assay information is available at: www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-
lithium-property/
Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC Protocols
Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the
box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness. All
drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada’s preparation facility in Val D’Or, Quebec, for
standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90%
passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped
by air to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and
subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with
ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The Li grade presented herein was reported by SGS
Canada as lithium oxide (Li 2O).

About Q2 Metals Corp
Q2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on unlocking its portfolio of
lithium projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, that includes both its
100-per-cent-owned Mia Lithium Property and the Cisco Lithium Property.
The Cisco Property is comprised of 767 claims, totaling 39,389 hectares (“ha”). The Cisco Property
transects the Billy Diamond Highway, and the main mineralized zone is located only 6.5
kilometres (“km”) away from the highway. The Cisco Property is approxi mately 150 km north of
Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay; and is within the
greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.
The Cisco Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic
package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium
District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and
180 km away, respectively.
The Cisco Lithium Property has district-scale potential with an already identified mineralized zone
and discovery drill results that include:
• 120.3 metres at 1.72% Li2O (hole CS-24-010);
• 215.6 metres at 1.69% Li2O (hole CS-24-018);
• 347.1 metres at 1.35% Li2O (hole CS-24-021); and
• 188.6 metres at 1.56% Li2O (hole CS-24-023)
Since May 2024, the Company has drilled a total of 6,359.7 m over 17 holes. All drill holes
intercepted pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified.
