Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp. (CSE:QMET)(OTC PINK:BTKRF)(FRA:0NB) has announced ongoing sulphide mineralization intersections in drilling at its La Corne South project near Val d’Or, Quebec. The company completed three drill holes totaling 426 meters, testing a TDEM conductor and magnetic high identified by QMET geophysical surveys.

QMET’s first drill hole, 24LCS-01, reached 145.6 meters, revealing multiple significant mineralized bands. These bands, ranging from 2 to 5 meters in width, mainly comprise pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite, potentially indicating Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposition.

The second hole, 24LCS-02, drilled from the same pad as hole 24LCS-01, reached a depth of 145 meters with a 15-degree azimuth shift to explore further south. It intersected basalt with granitic rock intervals, some pegmatitic segments, and disseminated sulphide mineralization with a few semi-massive sulphide bands of up to 2 meters.

Drill hole 24LCS-03, located 70 meters northwest of the previous holes, tested volcanic-hosted mineralization 50 meters further north. It intersected basaltic rock and granodiorite, with disseminated pyrrhotite and semi-massive pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite minerals over a 5-meter interval.

The three drilled holes successfully intersected disseminated to massive sulphides, including copper and zinc minerals, corroborating the TDEM survey’s identification of sulphide-mineralized conductive bodies.

Currently, the drill core is being logged and sampled at a Val d’Or facility, under the management of Explo-Logik Inc. QMET notes that the preliminary information on these holes is based on Qualified Professional observations. Core samples are set for analysis to verify the metal content within the sulphide mineralization, including Cu-Zn-Ag-Au, with further details forthcoming.

Next steps in the drilling program include testing additional TDEM anomalies south of the current drilling positions. Seven to nine drill holes, each averaging 120-150 meters in depth, will explore a 2-kilometer corridor along the host volcanic rocks. Adjustments to the drill plan will be made based on geological findings and laboratory results from core sampling.

The geologic team, led by QP and Project Manager Gilles Carrier of Explo-Logik Inc., is pleased with the mineralization encountered so far. The team will continue logging and sampling drill cores in Val d’Or.

Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp.‘s Quebec exploration programs are supervised by Dr. Mathieu Piché, OGQ, who is also a company director. The company holds a 100% interest in various mineral claims in Quebec, including the La Corne South VMS + Pegmatite Lithium Project, McKenzie East Gold property, and the recently acquired Pontax Lithium and Versant rare earth elements (REE) properties.
