(TSX.V: QTWO | OTCQB: QUEXF | FSE: 458)\n \n (“\n \n Q2\n \n ” or the “\n \n Company\n \n ”) is pleased to announce the successful results of the first phase of metallurgical test work on drill core samples collected from the 2024 drill program at the Cisco Lithium Project (the \"Project\" or the \"Cisco Project\"), located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, Canada.\n \n\n The objective of the preliminary test program was to achieve a spodumene concentrate at ~70% recovery with Heavy Liquid Separation (“HLS”) test work to confirm the potential suitability of a Dense Media Separation (“DMS”) process. The results of this test work confirms that strong recoveries can be achieved with a DMS circuit and as expected, the low iron content of the head samples continues through to the concentrate.\n \n\n \"We’re extremely encouraged with the results of this first round of metallurgical testing that confirms that DMS driven processing can be implemented at Cisco. Magnetic or flotation treatments were not utilized in this round due to the success of the HLS tests. The strong recovery combined with low iron content are the highlights so far,\" stated Neil McCallum, Q2 Metals VP of Exploration. \"The next phase of metallurgy test work will be de...
