Executive Summary

  • Q2 Metals restates and clarifies its July 21, 2025 announcement of an inaugural lithium Exploration Target on the Cisco Project after a BC Securities Commission review.
  • The conceptual Exploration Target estimates 215–329 Mt of material at 1.00–1.38 % Li₂O, based on 40 drill holes (16,168 m) and extensive surface work.
  • The target is purely conceptual; no mineral resource has been defined yet, but the zone remains open at depth and along strike, supporting continued drilling toward an inferred resource.

Key Details

  • Exploration Target Estimate:
  • Tonnes: 215 Mt (minimum) – 329 Mt (maximum)

  • Grade: 1.00 % – 1.38 % Li₂O (rounded to nearest 0.01 %)

  • Drilling Basis:

  • 40 diamond‑core holes, total 16,167.8 m drilled.

  • 7,358 assay results and 156 surface rock chip samples incorporated.

  • Methodology (BBA Inc.):

  • Full data review and 3D modelling of pegmatite domains within the Mineralized Zone.
  • Domain-specific gravity (average from 407 measurements) applied to estimate tonnage.

  • Grades assigned per domain from assay results; both tonnage and grade reduced by confidence factors and reported as ranges.

  • Scope Limitations:

  • Target confined to the defined Mineralized Zone; does not include prospective geology outside this zone.

  • Does not incorporate pending assays for drill holes 36 (lower half), 38, and 39.

  • Qualified Persons:

  • Todd McCracken, P.Geo., Director – Mining & Geology – Central Canada, BBA Inc. (independent).

  • Neil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol., Vice President Exploration, Q2 Metals (company insider).

  • Forward‑Looking Statements:

  • Company plans to continue drilling to define an inferred mineral resource; results are pending and subject to typical exploration risks.
