Germanium Mining Corp. Begins Remote Sensing Work on its Lac Du Km 35 Property In Chibougamau Area, Quebec

Executive Summary

  • Germanium Mining Corp. has begun remote‑sensing work on its Lac Du Km 35 Property in the Chibougamau area of Quebec.
  • The study will use ESA PNEO satellite panchromatic imagery (30 cm resolution) acquired September 2023 to map faults, shear zones and other structures that could host germanium mineralization.
  • Remote‑sensing work is slated for completion by the end of February 2026, after which targeted field sampling is planned for summer 2026.

Key Details

  • Property focus: Lac Du Km 35 Property contains the Faribault Shear Zone (FSZ) and a historic Laganière germanium showing (0.02 % Ge, 186 ppm).
  • Historical data disclaimer: The historic germanium assay has not been verified by a qualified person and is not treated as a current resource or reserve.
  • Remote‑sensing scope:
  • Outline potential faults, shear zones, intrusions, dykes and lenticular structures.
  • Apply algorithms to September 2023 ESA PNEO panchromatic data (30 cm resolution).
  • Transfer interpreted features into a GIS system; produce maps at 1:5,000 scale.
  • Timeline: Remote‑sensing phase expected to finish by end of February 2026; field sampling program scheduled for summer 2026.
  • Technical oversight: Benoît Moreau, P.Eng., Vice‑President of Exploration and qualified person under NI 43‑101, has approved the technical information.
  • Strategic context: Germanium is a critical metal with spot prices > US$5,000/kg; recent export bans by China heighten interest in domestic sources.

Notable Quotes

“The remote sensing work will enable us to pinpoint structural targets that may host germanium mineralization and guide our upcoming field program,” – Benoît Moreau, P.Eng., VP Exploration.
