Q2 Metals adds Keith Phillips to board of directors

Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO) announced the appointment of Keith Phillips to its board of directors. Phillips previously served as chief executive officer of Piedmont Lithium from its inception in 2017 until its merger with Sayona Mining in 2025.

During Phillips' tenure at Piedmont, the company reached a peak market capitalization exceeding $1.0 billion and developed from an exploration project in North Carolina into a global lithium producer with assets in Canada, Ghana and the United States. The company established commercial partnerships with Tesla and LG Chem before becoming part of Elevra Lithium through the merger.

Phillips brings 30 years of Wall Street experience, having managed strategic and financing transactions valued at over $100 billion. He led mining investment banking teams at Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan and Dahlman Rose, and previously served as head of Canadian investment banking services for Goldman Sachs. Phillips holds an MBA in finance from the University of Chicago and a bachelor of commerce from Laurentian University.

"I am thrilled to welcome Keith to the Q2 board of directors," said Alicia Milne, Q2 Metals president and CEO. "With his extensive experience in the lithium industry as well as in investment banking, Keith significantly strengthens our board and aligns with our strategic goals as we work towards publishing our inaugural inferred mineral resource estimate on Cisco in the first quarter of 2026."

Q2 Metals also announced the grant of 1.3 million stock options to directors, officers and consultants at an exercise price of $0.95 per share for five years, subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. The company is developing the Cisco Lithium Project in Quebec's James Bay region.
