Highlights

• Drill gap CS25-065 encountered 5 (5) spodumene pegmatite intervals, with the widest steady interval of 179.2 metres . Drill gap CS25-065 is positioned north of the recognized mineralized zone and west of the CO1 outcrop and extends the system to the north at shallow depths the place mineralization was not anticipated.
• Drill gap CS25-063 encountered 15 spodumene pegmatite intervals, together with a 75.4-metre-wide interval , together with three (3) different intervals higher than 10 metres . Drill gap CS25-063 is positioned west of the beforehand recognized mineralized zone.
• Assays stay pending on holes 40-65 and they are going to be reported when acquired.
• An inaugural mineral useful resource estimate for the Cisco Mission is predicted to be delivered in Q1 2026.
• The Cisco Mission stays open in all instructions, and the Firm is nicely funded to proceed its exploration and growth.

Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO | OTCQB: QUEXF | FSE: 458) (” Q2 ” or the ” Firm “) is happy to offer an replace from its ongoing 2025 drilling marketing campaign (the “2025 Drill Program”) on the Cisco Lithium Mission (the “Mission” or the “Cisco Mission”), positioned throughout the higher Nemaska conventional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, Canada.

Because the final visible replace introduced September 10, 2025 , an additional 7,781 metres (“m”) of drilling has been accomplished over 21 holes with assays pending on drill holes 40 via to 65. To this point, a complete of 67 holes for 27,295 m have been drilled on the Cisco Mission.

” Drill holes 63 and 65 reveal the continued progress potential of the Cisco Mission. These holes have been designed to outline the boundaries of the system however, as an alternative, found that the pattern extends past our expectations. Gap-65, specifically, considerably expands the extent of recognized mineralization to the north,” mentioned Neil McCallum, Q2 Metals Vice President of Exploration.

“We’re very happy with the progress of the infill drilling on the Cisco Mission as we glance to advance from the conceptual Exploration Goal introduced in July to an inaugural mineral useful resource estimate. The Exploration Goal was based mostly solely on the primary 40 drill holes, and we’re excited to see how the useful resource estimate comes along with these extra holes which have prolonged mineralization past the parameters outlined to date,” mentioned Alicia Milne, President and CEO of Q2 Metals.

Abstract of Spodumene-Bearing Pegmatite Intervals

The pegmatite intervals (higher than 2 m) of drill holes CS25-046 to 065 are reported beneath intimately (Desk 1):

The mineralized intervals in every of the holes will not be essentially consultant of the true width and the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with each extra gap.

Cautionary Assertion: The presence of pegmatites doesn’t affirm the presence of lithium (spodumene or different lithium minerals). Pegmatites are fractionated coarse grained igneous rocks generally related to lithium mineralization; nonetheless, many pegmatites don’t include mineralization. The presence of any mineralization can solely be confirmed with assaying.

The geological group has accomplished the core reducing and logging of holes CS25-046 to CS25-065 and the samples have been dispatched to the SGS Canada preparation laboratory positioned in Val-d’Or, QC for mineral evaluation to verify the presence of lithium.

Dialogue of Drilling Outcomes

The 2025 Drill Program is focussed on infill drilling inside the primary mineralized zone that spans roughly 1.5 kilometres (“km”) alongside the northeast-southwest trending strike size recognized on the Cisco Mission (the “Mineralized Zone”) (Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5). Further work included the completion of 5 (5) drill holes designed to seize hydrogeological data.

Noteworthy outcomes of the drilling are as follows:

• Drill hole-65 prolonged the boundary of the recognized mineralized zone to the north with a 179.2 m huge mineralized pegmatite which was in an space that was partially mapped throughout the Exploration Goal. It’s positioned at comparatively shallow depths of between 50 and 180 m beneath floor, and extra work shall be accomplished to grasp the extent of mineralization in that space.
• Drill hole-63 intercepted a 75.4 m huge mineralized pegmatite in an space the place the geological group was not anticipating and represents a brand new parallel zone that requires extra work to probably lengthen.
• Drill hole-64 intercepted a complete of 12 mineralized pegmatites within the core of the primary mineralized zone, three (3) of which have been higher than 50 m huge.
• Drill hole-57 on the southern finish of the mineralized zone encountered a 49.8 m huge interval of mineralized pegmatite and is in step with the opposite drilling within the space.
• A number of vertically oriented HQ-diameter hydrogeological holes have been accomplished at shallow depths of between 100 and 252 m, and lots of confirmed near-surface mineralized pegmatites similar to drill hole-55 with a 39.3 m huge interval of mineralized pegmatite and drill hole-56 with 31 and 48.9 m huge intervals of mineralized pegmatite.
• Exploration hole-52 , positioned between the CO2 outcrop and the primary mineralized zone encountered an 18.1 m huge zone of mineralization at a vertical depth of about 100-m.

The Exploration Goal on the Mineralized Zone, ready for the Firm by impartial marketing consultant BBA Inc., and introduced on July 21, 2025, included 40 holes accomplished for 16,167.8 m ¹ . The estimated vary of potential mineralization and grade on the Mineralized Zone is from 215 to 329 million tonnes (“Mt”) at a grade starting from 1.0 to 1.38 % Li ₂ O (see press launch of July 21, 2025).

An Exploration Goal is used to offer a conceptual estimate of the potential amount and grade of a mineral deposit, based mostly on recognized and extra restricted geological proof. It’s an early-stage evaluation that may assist to information additional exploration, however it’s not a mineral useful resource or mineral reserve and shouldn’t be handled as such.

The potential amount and grade of the Exploration Goal on the Cisco Mission are conceptual in nature. There was inadequate exploration to estimate and outline a Mineral Useful resource, as outlined by Nationwide Instrument 43-101 Requirements of Disclosure for Mineral Mission (“NI 43- 101”), and it’s unsure if additional exploration will consequence within the goal being delineated as a Mineral Useful resource.

The expanded drill program for the autumn and winter will proceed to tighten the drill spacing throughout the Mineralized Zone because the Firm works in the direction of an preliminary inferred mineral useful resource estimate on the Cisco Mission. A portion of the expanded drill program can even check extra outcrop zones and lengthen the huge pegmatite intervals that have been found within the newest marketing campaign.

Sampling, Analytical Strategies and QA/QC Protocols

All drilling is performed utilizing 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 normal pattern preparation (code PRP92) which incorporates drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle break up 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Burnaby, BC, the place the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (together with Li and Ta) utilizing sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS end (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade shall be multiplied by the usual conversion issue of two.153 which ends up in an equal Li ₂ O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core despatched for geochemical evaluation and half-core remaining within the field for reference. The identical aspect of the core was sampled to take care of representativeness.

A High quality Assurance / High quality Management (QA/QC) protocol following trade greatest practices has been integrated into the sampling program. Measures embody the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and licensed reference supplies (CRMs) into pattern batches at a fee of roughly 5% every. Moreover, evaluation of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was accomplished to evaluate analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC outcomes of the analytical work.
