[{"type":"text","content":"Q2 Metals Confirms Lithium Mineralization at Eight New Zones Discovered at the Cisco Lithium Property, James Bay, Quebec, CanadaHighlights:8 new spodumene-bearing pegmatite discoveries have been confirmed as mineralized, for a total of 15 spodumene pegmatite zones on the Cisco Property thus far.41 samples of the CO1 to CO15 outcrop groups ranged in grade up to 4.31% Li2O,averaging 1.80% Li2O. VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 8, 2024 / Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) (\"Q2\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce analytical results from the ongoing 2024 mapping and sampling field program at the Cisco Lithium Property (the \"Property\" or the \"Cisco Property\"). The Cisco Property is located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, proximal to the Billy Diamond Highway and 150 kilometres (\"km\") north of the town of Matagami and railway.Initial field work including mapping and rock sampling was undertaken by the Company to provide guidance on the extent of the lithium mineralization at the Cisco Property. Field crews began the program at the CO1 Zone where the vendors of the Cisco Property initially sampled and drilled in 2022/2023 and have since expanded throughout the Property. To date, a total of 76 pegmatite samples collected and assayed have resulted in the confirmation of eight (8) new spodumene discoveries for a total of 15 spodumene pegmatite zones on the Cisco Property thus far.\"The sampling results have confirmed the presence of lithium in each of the 15 outcrop zones, giving us the confidence to expand our drilling in a systematic manner to the south of the recently announced holes drilled towards CO3,\" said Neil McCallum, Q2 Metals VP of Exploration. \"In the short amount of time that we've been working at Cisco, I am very encouraged by the surface and drilling results and I believe the Cisco Property is already showing signs of being an industry leading project.\"The sampling and mapping of the Cisco Property has resulted in a wide-spread group of mineralized outcrops; CO1 to CO15. The results are summarized in Table 1.Table 1. Summary of Cisco Pegmatite Zones The size of individual outcrops varies, from 1-2 metres (\"m\") wide, up to 20 m wide. In most cases, the contacts with the bounding host-rock are not visible, being ben...
