Q2 Metals Announces Assay Results from its 2024 Winter Drill Program at the Mia Lithium Property, James Bay Territory, Quebec, Canada

Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO | OTCQB: QUEXF | FSE: 458) (“Q2” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce core assay results for the drill program completed in the winter of 2024 (the “Winter Drill Program”) at the Company’s wholly owned, 8,668 hectare (“ha”) Mia Lithium Property (the “Property”) located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay Territory of Quebec.

The 2024 Winter Drill Program targeted the western end of the more than 10-kilometre-long Mia Lithium Exploration Trend (the “Mia Trend”), located 22 kilometres (“km”) from the Billy Diamond Highway, proximal to major hydro-powerline and all-season road infrastructure. The Mia Trend comprises an approximately 10-km-long series of sub-parallel pegmatite intrusions, of which there are 11 mineralized with spodumene at surface. The individual pegmatite bodies vary in thickness between a few metres (“m”) and over 20 m in some cases. Combined with the 2023 fall drill program, a total of 8,685 m was completed over 50 drill holes along the Mia Trend. All assay results from both drill campaigns have now been reported.

Neil McCallum, VP Exploration, commented: “Our modest Winter Drill Program continued to successfully confirm the continuity of the mineralization encountered during our fall drill program at the Mia 1, 2 & 3 Zones. These results have provided us with information about what is happening across the broader Mia Trend and will be used to vector towards areas where we will test for thickening and higher-grade mineralization.”

The primary objective of the Winter Drill Program was to follow up on the fall-2023 drilling along the Mia Trend, with a total of 20 drill holes completed for approximately 3,085 m. One drill rig was used to test the main Mia 1, 2 & 3 zones (the “Mia Zone”) with 11 drill holes; while a second drill rig tested the greater Mia Trend with nine holes at the Mia 5,6, 7, 8 & Carte Zones.

Drill results at the Mia Zone confirmed the previously announced spodumene mineralization within a continuous pegmatite zone that dips gently to the north (see news release from April 25, 2024; Hole MIA23-004: 17.8 m at 1.51% Li2O, including 12.2 m of 2.16% Li2O).

Thickness of the mineralized zone varies from 8 to 20 m and extends roughly 600 m east-west and roughly 375 m north-south. The pegmatite body appears to be open to the west, east and north. The Winter Drill Program confirmed the continuity of the mineralization in some areas of the zone, while also showing some grade variability at the northern portions of the pegmatite at depth, with pegmatite intervals as expected but without significant lithium grades in holes 42, 44, 46, 48.
