## Resource

In this Company Update, Alicia Milne, President and CEO of Q2 Metals (TSXV: QTWO | OTCQB: QUEXF | FSE: 458) joins me to share insights into the commencement of the 20,000-meter drilling program at the Cisco Lithium Project in Quebec, the strong institutional interest backing the recent C$70million financing, and the highly anticipated winter drill results on the horizon. Key Discussion Points The $70M Summer Drilling Blitz: An overview of the 20,000-meter summer drill program and how the team plans to split the budget between critical infill drilling and high-upside expansionary targets. Geological Consistency at Cisco: Insights into why the wide, high-grade spodumene pegmatite intervals discovered so far are lowering risk and changing the infill drill spacing requirements. Testing New Horizons: A look into unexplored regional targets, including mysterious outcrops to the east and under-drilled zones to the south that could signal a district-scale play. The Road to Feasibility: A breakdown of how ongoing metallurgical testing, baseline environmental studies, and the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) might feed into a definitive feasibility study by late 2026 or early 2027.
