Q2 Metals Corp. provided an update on its surface mapping and rock sampling activities at the Mia Lithium Property (the "Property") located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory of Quebec. Four new spodumene pegmatite occurrences have been discovered on the Mia Exploration Trend.

Three of the outcropping pegmatite zones are located between the previously known Mia and Carte mineralized zones. The other new discovery is located 1,400 metres northeast of the Carte Zone, thus extending the distance between the lithium mineralized occurrences on the trend to 9.7 kilometres. A total of 136 individual pegmatite outcrops have been mapped along the Mia Exploration Trend.

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, 212 rock samples have been collected on the Property since re-mobilization.

The crew will continue the current mapping and sampling campaign until September 15. Following that, Second Quarter will return 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.
