# Q2 Metals Extends Near Surface Mineralization 100 Metres North at the Cisco Lithium Project, Intercepting 134.5 Metres at 1.20% Li?O and 101.6 Metres at 1.02% Li?O Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/q2-metals-extends-near-surface-mineralization-100-metres-north-at-the-cisco-lith--a02ec3bf-cf4d-4ede-b2b4-a1a0f05fc797 Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/QTWO.V/press-releases/5019691246721448 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-10-07T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-07T11:36:07.685Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-07T11:36:07.685Z - Company: Q2 Metals Corp. - Ticker: QTWO.V - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Quebec, Canada - Primary commodity: Lithium - Secondary commodities: Tantalum - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-10-07 11:36:08 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Q2 Metals has extended near-surface lithium mineralization at the Cisco Project by 100 metres to the north. Key intercepts include 134.5 m at 1.20% Li2O in hole CS26-096, with much of the mineralization sitting outside the previously defined conceptual pit-shell. Reasoning: The results demonstrate successful step-out exploration, extending the known footprint of the Cisco Deposit to the north with high-grade near-surface lithium intercepts that fall outside the existing resource pit-shell. - Positive factor: Significant step-out extension 100m north of previous mineralization - Positive factor: High-grade near-surface intercepts \(1.20% Li2O\) - Positive factor: Mineralization identified outside of the April-2026 conceptual pit-shell - Positive factor: Strong QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off disclosed - Negative factor: Apparent widths reported as core widths; true width not yet refined Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drill hole CS26-096 extended mineralization 100m north of previous drilling. Evidence · text > extended the previously known mineralization of the Cisco Deposit by an additional 100 metres to the north **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release details systematic insertion of blanks, standards, and duplicates, and mentions QP verification. Evidence · text > Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials \(CRMs\) into sample batches ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
