Vancouver, BC, Aug 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) (" Q2 " or the " Company ") announces that, as a result of a technical review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company is issuing the following news release to clarify its technical disclosure as it pertains to the news release issued on August 19, 2024.The Company previously reported the cumulative grades of drill holes CS-24-007 to CS-24-010 at the Company's Cisco Property over ‘cumulative intervals' and ‘cumulative metres.' This disclosure has been removed from the August 19, 2024 news release as well as all previously issued news releases that reported cumulative intervals and/or cumulative metres.As such, the highlights of the Company's inaugural drilling campaign at the Cisco Property included:CS-24-010: Widest interval of 120.3 m at 1.72% Li 2 O including 19.0 m at 2.06% Li 2 OCS-24-007: Widest interval of 27.1 m at 1.96% Li 2 O including 11.1 m at 2.49% Li 2 OCS-24-008: Widest interval of 19.3m at 1.75% Li 2 O including 6.2 m at 2.23% Li 2 OCS-24-009: Widest interval of 82.1m at 1.43% Li 2 O including 15.7 m at 1.88% Li 2 OThe analytical results reported represent the first 1,017 m of drilling over four (4) holes of the 3,753 m that were drilled over 12 holes at the Cisco Property. Initial visual results of those four holes were reported by the Company on June 17, 2024.The Spring 2024 Drill Campaign was designed to expand upon the 2023 drilling by the Property vendors. Hole CS-23-05 ("Hole 5") drilled by the Property vendor ended in pegmatite and assays results confirmed its widest interval of 48.0 m at 1.23% Li 2 O including 9.0 m at 1.73% Li 2 O.Holes CS-24-009 and 010 ("Hole 10") were designed as 50 m westward step-outs from Hole 5. Assay results from these two holes confirmed wide intervals of spodumene pegmatite, with the widest interval reaching 120.3 m at 1.72% Li 2 O, including 19.0 m at 2.06% Li 2 O in Hole 10.Complete highlighted intervals from holes CS-24-007 to 010 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1. All intervals of greater than two (2) metres of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than five (5) metres. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.Figure 1. Map of Inaugural Drill Hole Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyTable 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyTable 2. Summary of Drill Hole Collar Information, Cisco PropertyResults from approximately 2,700 m of drilling eight (8) holes (CS-24-011 to CS-24-018) remain to be reported from the Spring 2024 Drill Campaign and will be released as soon as results are available. Drilling at the Cisco Property is ongoing and will continue into the fall of 2024.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 kilometres ("km") east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAs per the BCSC technical review, information required by sections 3.2 and 3.3 of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") that was inadvertently omitted has also been updated.All drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade was multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li 2 O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release. Mr. McCallum is a director and VP Exploration for Q2.About Q2 Metals CorpQ2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on unlocking its portfolio of lithium projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, that includes both its 100-per-cent-owned Mia Lithium Property and the Cisco Lithium Property.The Cisco lithium property is located approximately 150 km north of Matagami, Que., and comprises 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 ha in size.

In the second quarter of 2024, the operating margin was 25.6%, an increase from 25.0% in the second quarter of 2023 and 19.0% in the previous quarter, indicating continued optimization of profitability.In the second quarter of 2024, the Group earned a net income attributable to H World Group Limited of RMB 1.1 billion (approximately USD 147 million), compared to RMB 1 billion in Q2 2023 and RMB 659 million in the previous quarter.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Group recorded an adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of RMB 2 billion (approximately USD 280 million), compared with RMB 1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2023 and RMB 1.4 billion in the previous quarter, with both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter growth.Operational Efficiency Improves Quarter-over-Quarter, Strong Brand AppealIn the second quarter of 2024, Legacy-Huazhu's blended revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) for leased, owned, manachised and franchised hotels was RMB 244, with an average daily room rate (“ADR”) of RMB 296 and an occupancy rate (“OCC”) of 82.6%. In the previous quarter, these figures were RMB 216, RMB 280, and 77.2%, respectively, while in the same period last year, they were RMB 250, RMB 305, and 81.8%. In the second quarter of 2024, all three key operational indicators for Legacy-Huazhu showed quarter-on-quarter increase. Compared to the same period last year, although RevPAR saw a slight decline of 2% due to a high base from the previous year, with 567 new hotels opened in China during the second quarter of 2024 , the Group has kept a steady pace of openings while achieving a year-over-year increase of 0.7 percentage points in occupancy rate, reflecting strong market recognition and the Group's robust brand appeal. The combination of new openings and rising occupancy rates will maintain the Group's advantageous position in market competition.For Legacy-DH, the blended RevPAR for leased as well as manachised and franchised hotels (excluding hotels temporarily closed) was €82, with an ADR of €120 and an OCC of 68.3%. In the previous quarter, these figures were €58, €104, and 55.8%, while in the same period last year, they were €78, €117, and 67.1%. In Q2 2024, all three key operational indicators for Legacy-DH showed improvements both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, with continuous progress in the Group's overseas business and continuous enhancement of operational efficiency.Accelerated Expansion of Hotel Network, Upgraded Full Year Hotel Opening Guidance for 2024In terms of hotel openings, H World’s hotel network is steadily expanding. As of June 30, 2024, the Group operates a total of 10,286 hotels worldwide, with Legacy-Huazhu having 10,150 operating hotels and Legacy-DH having 136 operating hotels. H World and Legacy-Huazhu reached the remarkable milestone of 10,000 hotels in the second quarter, opening a new chapter for the group. H World has now grown from over 10,000 hotels in more than 1,000 cities to over 20,000 hotels in more than 2,000 cities, achieving high-quality expansion of its hotel network, which signifies a new starting point for its “Thousand Cities, Ten Thousand Hotels 2.0” strategy.At the same time, Legacy-Huazhu will continue to focus on product upgrades, excellent service, and membership programs to enhance the competitive advantage of the H World and promote sustainable growth in average revenue per available room. In terms of overseas business, the group is keen to expand its global footprint and transfer Legacy-DH into a more asset-light model.As of June 30, 2024, the Company has 3,294 hotels under development, including 3,266 for Legacy-Huazhu and 28 for Legacy-DH. Additionally, the group announced an upward revision of its guidance for hotel openings in 2024, expecting to open over 2,200 hotels, up from the previous guidance of 1,800, further expanding its hotel network.Dividends and Buybacks Reflect Corporate Confidence; Positive Outlook for the Hotel IndustryOn July 23, 2024, the board of directors of H World announced a three-year shareholder return plan effective immediately, which may distribute up to a total of $2 billion to the group’s shareholders. It also approved a five-year share repurchase plan for American Depositary Shares, effective from August 21, 2024, with a maximum total amount of $1 billion. Notably, this share repurchase plan replaces the previous plan approved and adopted on August 21, 2019, with a maximum total amount of $750 million. The increased dividend and share repurchase total reflect the group’s confidence in its long-term development.H World is a significant player in the global hospitality industry. The main reason is that Chinese hotels have a strong industry background due to the fact that they have the world's largest tourist population and diverse forms of tourism. According to official statistics, in the first half of 2024, the passenger volume of railway and domestic flights was 2.096 billion and 350 million, respectively, representing year-on-year growth of 18.4% and 23.5%; the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China also reported that the number of tourists during the Labour Day Holiday has returned to a level 28% higher than that of 2019. With the follow-up publicity and promotion of cultural tourism across different regions, residents’ willingness to travel has become stronger. In terms of cross-border travel, inbound tourism is gaining popularity under the “China Travel” trend. Statistics from the National Immigration Administration of China shows that in the first half of the year, 14.635 million foreign visitors entered the country from various ports, a year-on-year increase of 152.7%; the China Tourism Academy also predicts that the number of outbound tourists will reach 130 million in 2024. Overall, consumer enthusiasm for travel is expected to continue to rise in the second half of the year, and the recovery of the macroeconomy will bring more business travel demand, indicating a promising outlook for the hotel industry.About H World Group LimitedOriginated in China, H World Group Limited is a key player in the global hotel industry.
