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

Executive Summary

• Germanium Mining Corp. has engaged veteran geologist William “Bill” Feyerabend and Amazona Enterprises to conduct a late‑2025/early‑2026 field exploration and reconnaissance program at the Azure Ridge Historical Mine in Nevada.
• The work will focus on evaluating germanium, gallium, gold, silver, and zinc mineralization, with results feeding into an upcoming NI 43‑101 technical report.
• The company is also assessing potential U.S. federal and state support programs for critical minerals development and possible refurbishment of the historic mine.

Key Details

• Engagement: William “Bill” Feyerabend, CPG (qualified person) and Amazona Enterprises hired to lead field work.

• Scope of Work:
• Detailed site reconnaissance, geological observations, and selective rock sampling.
• Evaluation of host‑rock characteristics, structural controls, and mineralizing processes relevant to germanium–gallium systems.
• Objective: Generate data to support preparation of an NI 43‑101 technical report and refine exploration strategy for the Azure Ridge project.
• Historical Context: Azure Ridge (formerly Bonelli Mine) last produced in 1918; historic sampling identified anomalous germanium, gallium, copper, lead, zinc, and cobalt values over a ~5,000‑ft mineralized zone.
• Future Plans:
• Continue collaboration with Amazona on the NI 43‑101 technical report and technical overview.
• Evaluate multi‑agency submissions for potential critical‑minerals support programs, including studies of historic infrastructure and possible mine refurbishment.
