08:42 AM EDT, 03/23/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Q2 Metals ( QUEXF ) said Monday that it extended the timeline for the 2026 inaugural inferred mineral resource estimate on the Cisco lithium project in Quebec to allow for additional geological modelling work.

The company said the estimate will incorporate all analytical results for drilling completed in 2025 as well as data from select holes that have been completed during the winter 2026 campaign.

Q2 reported multiple 200-meter intervals of continuous spodumene pegmatite at the project, including drill hole CS25-071, which encountered eight spodumene pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 264.6 meters, followed by an additional 152.9 m of continuous spodumene pegmatite.

"Drilling this winter continues to demonstrate strong continuity of spodumene-bearing pegmatite across the mineralized zone, with multiple wide intervals reinforcing the scale of the system," said Neil McCallum, Q2's vice president of exploration.

Q2 said it has completed a total of 37,372 m of drilling across 83 holes, with analytical results pending on all holes drilled in 2026.
