Q2 Metals Defines Initial Exploration Target of 215 to 329 Million Tonnes at the Cisco Lithium Project in James Bay, Quebec, Canada
Highlights VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO | OTCQB: QUEXF | FSE: 458) ('Q2' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce an inaugural Exploration Target on the Cisco Lithium Project (the 'Project' or the 'Cisco Project'), located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. The estimated range of potential mineralization and grade is from 215 to 329 million tonnes ('Mt') at a grade ranging from 1.0 to 1.38 % Li2O: Table 1: Exploration Target for Cisco Mineralized Zone The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate and define a Mineral Resource, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Project ('NI 43-101'), and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a Mineral Resource. An Exploration Target is used to provide a conceptual estimate of the potential quantity and grade of a mineral deposit, based on known and additional limited geological evidence. It is an early-stage assessment that will help to guide further exploration, but it is not a mineral resource or mineral reserve and should not be treated as such. The Exploration Target for the Cisco Project encompasses the main mineralized zone (the 'Mineralized Zone') (see Figure 1), which includes a total of 40 holes drilled for 16,167.8 metres ('m')1. Figure 1. Cisco Project showing pegmatite outcrop zones in the Exploration Target area The Exploration Target is constrained to the Mineralized Zone and does not include prospective geology and targets that the Company has identified outside of the Mineralized Zone. As such, there is the potential to further increase the overall lithium endowment of the Cisco Project. The large and well-mineralized CO2 outcrop which measures approximately 30 m wide by 80 m long has not yet been confirmed with drilling, and other areas to the east and south of the Mineralized Zone, such as CO6 or CO18 are also not included. Figure 2. Cross section through the Mineralized Zone at Cisco Project ' This Exploration Target represents a major milestone for Q2 and cements Cisco as a globally significant hard rock lithium discovery, ' said Alicia Milne, Q2 Metals President and CEO. 'Cisco's location within the James Bay Lithium District, including proximity to the all-season Billy Diamond Highway and, most notably, rail at the nearby town of Matagami, make it an ideal candidate for a development scenario. We are excited to continue to grow and advance the Cisco Project, executing on our strategy to create value for our shareholders.' 'This Exploration Target, particularly its being limited to just the currently defined Mineralized Zone, highlights both the scale potential of the Cisco Project as well as its grade,' said Q2 VP of Exploration, Neil McCallum. 'The Mineralized Zone remains open at depth and along strike and with only 40 holes drilled so far, there is potential for significant expansion at the Cisco Project. We are continuing the 2025 summer drill program with infill drilling of the Mineralized Zone in order to update the current Exploration Target to a NI 43-101 compliant inferred Mineral Resource Estimate.' Figure 3. Cisco Project location Exploration Target Live Webinar Q2 Metals will be hosting a live webinar, with Q&A, on Wednesday July 23 at 9:00 am PT | 12:00 pm ET. To register, click here . Methodology and Determination for the Exploration Target The Company engaged BBA Inc. ('BBA') as an independent consultant to review all exploration and drilling conducted to date at the Cisco Project and to complete an Exploration Target, in accordance with NI 43-101. The Exploration Target is based on BBA's interpretation of the following geology and mineralization data that has been compiled to date: BBA methodology included a complete review of the data and 3D modelling to create a conceptual volume of the pegmatite domains within the Mineralized Zone. The pegmatite domains were interpreted where geological information was available with sufficient quantity and quality. To estimate a tonnage, pegmatite specific gravity ('SG') was used for the pegmatite domains and based on 407 measurements. The average SG of each domain was then applied individually. An associated grade was then applied based on the assay results for each individual domain. The implied tonnage and grade of each volume was then reduced by a factor (confidence factor) to account for the likelihood of each domain being mineralized at a reasonable grade. The grade and tonnage were then further adjusted by an additional factor to be reported as ranges. The estimated tonnages are rounded to the nearest million tonnes and the grade rounded to the nearest 0.01% Li2O. The 3D modelling of the pegmatite domains was restricted to the Mineralized Zone. The extent of the interpreted pegmatite domains was limited up to 250 m around the relevant geological information (drill hole, channel). The thickness of the interpreted pegmatite domains is representative of the pegmatite intercepts. The Exploration Target does not include prospective geology and targets that the Company has identified outside of the Mineralized Zone. As such, there is the potential to further increase the overall lithium endowment of the Cisco Project.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT: Follow the Company: Twitter , LinkedIn , Facebook , and Instagram Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC Protocols All drilling is conducted using a diamond drill rig with NQ sized core and all drill core samples are 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 reported Li grade will be multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li2O grade. 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. A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices has been incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.
