Executive Summary

  • Germanium Mining Corp. will conduct a property‑wide airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey over its Lac du Km 35 Germanium Project in Quebec, slated for April 2026.
  • The new high‑resolution data (≤75 m line spacing, ≤30 m altitude) will be integrated with recent remote‑sensing results to refine target selection ahead of a first‑phase drill program planned for Fall 2026.
  • The survey focuses on the Laganière germanium showing (0.02 % Ge, 186 ppm) and adjacent structural features, including the Faribault Shear Zone and a 300 m circular anomaly, to prioritize drill collar locations.

Key Details

  • Survey Scope: Entire Lac du Km 35 property; modern airborne magnetic & EM acquisition.
  • Technical Specs: Line spacing ≤75 m; flight altitude <30 m above ground.
  • Timing: Survey to be flown in April 2026, weather permitting.
  • Data Integration: New geophysical data will be merged with existing remote‑sensing outputs into a GIS platform for 1:5,000 scale mapping.
  • Exploration Targets:
  • Laganière germanium showing – peridotite outcrop with 0.02 % Ge (186 ppm), highest reported in Québec.
  • Adjacent electromagnetic anomaly cluster (~400 m × 400 m) previously untested.
  • Three NE‑trending structural corridors intersecting the showing area.
  • Faribault Shear Zone (FSZ) – key regional conduit for hydrothermal fluids, located ~450 m SW of Laganière showing.
  • Future Work: Results will guide outcrop sampling this summer and inform drill collar placement for a planned drilling campaign in Fall 2026.
  • Strategic Context: CEO Mario Pezzente highlighted the importance of domestic germanium supply amid geopolitical tensions and export bans affecting global markets (spot price > US$5,000/kg).

Notable Quotes
