Q2 Metals Significantly Expands the Cisco Lithium Property in James Bay, Quebec, Canada

Vancouver, BC, Nov 26, 2024 - (ACN Newswire) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) (" Q2 " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in 545 mineral claims (the "Additional Cisco Claims"), more than tripling its mineral claim position at the Cisco Lithium Property (the " Property " or the " Cisco Property ") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada.

The Cisco Property is now comprised of a total of 767 contiguous mineral claims over 39,389 hectares ("ha"), including more than 30 kilometres ("km") of strike length on the Frotet-Evans Greenstone Belt, which hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively. The Additional Cisco Claims are primarily south of the original Cisco Property claims, adding several kilometres of prospective greenstone rocks and providing extensive strategic sites for future development and mining infrastructure scenarios.

"We couldn't be more pleased to have acquired these additional claims ," said Q2 Metals President and CEO Alicia Milne. " Since acquiring Cisco, we have been able to clearly demonstrate its world-class potential for grade and scale, while also focusing on key future development pathways. These additional claims provide us with a major footprint in an emerging, top lithium jurisdiction and provides us exceptional optionality for future development. "

Neil McCallum, Vice President of Exploration for Q2 stated, " While we eagerly await the pending release of remaining assay results from the lab, we have been focused on planning our winter 2025 exploration program. These additional claims add a tremendous amount of mineral prospectivity at Cisco as they include more of the greenstone belt that has been our focus this year and which has yielded such tremendous success. As we approach year end, we're looking forward to further updates and a very busy 2025. "
