[{"type":"text","content":"Q2 Metals Resumes Exploration Work at Its Mia Lithium Property in James Bay, QuebecVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 30, 2023) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: QTWO) (OTCQB: QUEXF) (FSE: 458) (\"Q2\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the resumption of its exploration activities at the Mia Lithium Property (the \"Property\") located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory of Quebec. The Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests has lifted its restrictions on forest access that has remained in place in the western James Bay region due to wildfires on and near the Property. With the restrictions lifted, the Q2 geology team has mobilized and will immediately continue surface mapping/prospecting and rock sampling. The primary objective of the upcoming program is to explore and confirm drill targets along the approximately 8-km long Mia trend which is located within a greenstone belt. The secondary objective will be to assess the potential of the broader trends on the Property (see Figure 1).\"We are excited to get back to the Mia Property to continue our field work,\" said Q2 President and Chief Executive Officer, Alicia Milne. \"We have a short window to conduct meaningful work before the culturally significant moose hunting season begins, which runs from September 15 to October 15, after which time we will return to the Property to continue our work. We will be assessing the Property, camp, and surrounding area given the forest fires, community evacuations, and restrictions that have been in place over the past 3 months and we look forward to updating the market as we progress.\" \"We have a plan in place to rapidly advance the known spodumene-bearing pegmatites and assess the high-priority trends,\" commented Q2 VP Exploration, Neil McCallum. \"I have confidence that our experienced geological team at Dahrouge Geological Consulting will be able to maximize our time in the field prior to drilling. With our time cut short this summer, we have modified our drill plan to test the targets this fall as much as the weather will allow, and then return in the winter with a larger program.\"Summary of June Exploration WorkIn June 2023, Q2 completed a two-day mapping and sampling program of the historically known lithium pegmatites at the Property that resulted in the collection of 28 pegmatite samples.
