The company has recently amended its agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. to expand its financial efforts, aiming to raise up to $21,000,000 through this offering.
Understanding the Offering Structure
The offering is designed to consist of a total of 21,000,000 common shares, each being offered at a price of $1.00 per flow-through share.

The Cisco Lithium Project
Situated in the Nemaska traditional territory of Eeyou Istchee, Quebec, the Cisco Lithium Project represents a pivotal area of focus for Q2 Metals. The project comprises 801 claims covering approximately 41,253 hectares and is strategically located near essential infrastructure, just 6.5 km from the Billy Diamond Highway. The proximity to Matagami, a key rail head, underscores the project's logistical advantages.
Exploration Opportunities and Potential
The Cisco Project boasts substantial district-scale potential, evidenced by an initial exploration target indicating lithium mineralization ranging from 215 to 329 million tonnes, with an estimated grade of 1.0% to 1.38% Li2O based on data from the first 40 drill holes. This promising mineralization is open at depth and along the strike, indicating possibilities for further significant expansions.
Current Exploration Efforts
Drilling activities are ongoing, with summer exploration efforts geared toward achieving a maiden resource estimate, and rolling assay results are expected to continue into the third quarter of the upcoming year.
