Q2 Metals Concludes Mapping And Sampling Field Work, Confirms Two Additional Spodumene-Bearing Pegmatites
Vancouver, British Columbia, September 13, 2023 – Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO | OTCQB: QUEXF | FSE: 458) (“Q2” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has completed its surface mapping and rock sampling activities at the Mia Lithium Property (the “Property”) located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory of Quebec. Initial field work was completed on September 15 and the Company intends to begin its inaugural drill program in mid-October at the Mia Zone.
Two (2) new spodumene occurrences have been discovered, in addition to the previous four (4) spodumene occurrences which were announced on September 13, 2023. With the previously known occurrences at Mia and Carte, there are now total of nine (9) separate spodumene pegmatite zones within the Mia Exploration Trend.
A total of 192 individual pegmatite outcrops have been mapped along the Mia Exploration Trend (see Figure 1). Rock samples have been collected at these sites to confirm the presence of lithium or indicator elements which may suggest the presence of lithium nearby. The majority of the pegmatite outcrops along the Mia Exploration Trend exhibit a similar mineralogy and texture compared with the outcrops that have confirmed spodumene.
To date, 219 rock samples have been collected on the Property since re-mobilization and have been received by the SGS Canada preparation laboratory located in Val-d’Or, QC. The results will be reported as they are received by the Company.
Q2 will return to the Property mid-October to begin its drill program starting at the Mia Zone. It is anticipated that drilling will continue until weather conditions become unfavorable, and then return once again during frozen ground conditions in January, 2024.
“The recent work program achieved our best case-scenario result of defining several spodumene-bearing pegmatites along the Mia Trend” said Neil McCallum, VP Exploration for Q2 Metals. “The next step of drill-testing the Mia Zone is something that we are all incredibly eager to start.”
