ABOUT Q2 METALS CORP.
Q2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on advancing the Cisco Lithium
Project which is located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee,
James Bay region of Québec, Canada. The Cisco Deposit is strategically situated just 6.5 km from
the Billy Diamond Highway, providing access to rail infrastructure in the Town of Matagami, ~150
km to the south, with connections to deep seaports beyond.
The current Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate on the Cisco Deposit outlines a pit -constrained
resource of 270 Mt grading 1.36% Li 2O at a 0.4% Li 2O cut -off grade and an additional
underground-constrained resource of 24 Mt grading 1.34% Li 2O Inferred at a 0.7% Li 2O cut-off
grade. Together, these support a combined inferred mineral resource of 295 Mt grading 1.36%
Li2O. The Cisco Deposit remains open along strike, with several additional high -priority targets
identified across the broader 41,253 ha project area.
The 2026 exploration program is ongoing, with a primary focus on infill drilling aimed at
advancing the resource toward an indicated resource classification. The program also includes
targeted expansion drilling and regional exploration designed to evaluate high priority targets
surrounding the Cisco Deposit and across the broader project area.
