Germanium Mining Corp. Maiden Exploration and Reconnaissance Program at Azure Ridge Historical Mine Nevada, USA

Executive Summary

• Germanium Mining Corp. has deployed a field team led by geologist William “Bill” Feyerabend, CPG, and partner Amazona Enterprises to commence reconnaissance work at the Azure Ridge Historical Mine in Nevada.
• The short‑duration program will conduct site reconnaissance, geological observations, and selective rock sampling to better understand germanium‑gallium‑bearing mineralization and guide future exploration.
• Results from this effort will feed into preparation of an NI 43‑101 technical report and support potential critical‑minerals development initiatives with U.S. agencies.

Key Details

• Project: Azure Ridge Historical Mine (formerly Bonelli Mine), Nevada, USA – a multi‑metal germanium‑gallium‑gold‑silver‑zinc target.
• Team Lead: William “Bill” Feyerabend, CPG, Qualified Person under NI 43‑101.
• Partners: CPG and Amazona Enterprises (Amazona).
• Program Scope:
• Short‑duration field examination with a small team and appropriate equipment.
• Detailed site reconnaissance, geological observations, and selective rock sampling.
• Focus on host‑rock characteristics, structural controls, and mineralizing processes relevant to germanium–gallium systems.
• Objective: Generate data to support the preparation of an NI 43‑101 Technical Report and evaluate Azure Ridge’s relevance within North American critical minerals supply chains.
• Historical Context:
• Last production reported in 1918; historic work identified fault‑controlled, carbonate‑hosted Cu‑Zn‑Pb‑Co‑Ge‑Ga mineralization (Kipushi‑type).
• 1994 USGS/USBM study sampled 43 rocks, revealing anomalous Ge, Ga, Cu, Pb, Zn, and Co values over ~5,000 ft of strike with mineralized zones up to ~9 ft thick.
• Future Plans:
• Continue collaboration with Amazona on NI 43‑101 report preparation (review of historic data, regional context, field results).
• Evaluate multi‑agency submissions for potential U.S. critical‑minerals support programs, including studies of historic mine infrastructure and possible refurbishment.
• CEO Quote: Mario Pezzente stated the deployment “marks the start to our ambitions for 2026 following the recent acquisition” and is a “critical first step toward the preparation of an NI 43‑101 technical report.”
