Germanium Mining plans exploration program at Lac Du Km

Executive Summary

  • Germanium Mining Corp. announced a new systematic exploration work program at its 100%-owned Lac Du Km 35 germanium property in the Chibougamau area of Quebec.
  • The program focuses on unlocking the property's potential through modern geophysical and geological tools, specifically targeting the Faribault shear zone and untested electromagnetic anomalies.
  • The work plan includes an airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey followed by detailed outcrop sampling and assaying in summer 2026, with the goal of defining diamond drill targets for late fall 2026.

Key Details

  • Property Location: Lac Du Km 35 germanium property, Chibougamau area, Quebec; 100% owned by Germanium Mining Corp.
  • Geological Context: The property features the Faribault shear zone (FSZ), discovered in 1998 but never followed up. The FSZ is oriented east-southeast and dips south-southwest.
  • Historical Results: The Laganiere germanium showing returned 0.02% (186 ppm) germanium, currently the highest reported value from an outcrop in Quebec.
  • Target Areas:
    • A cluster of electromagnetic anomalies (approx. 400m x 400m) adjacent to the Laganiere showing that has never been tested.
    • The area between the FSZ and the Laganiere showing.
    • A priority area of 6 km by 2.5 km along the FSZ.
  • Planned Work Program:
    • Airborne Survey: A modern, highly sensitive magnetic and electromagnetic airborne survey will cover the entire property to outline the FSZ, identify additional shear zones, and reveal new electromagnetic anomalies.
    • Field Work: Detailed outcrop sampling and assaying scheduled for summer 2026 following data interpretation.
    • Drilling: Diamond drill targets to be defined and tested in late fall 2026.
  • Commodity Context: Germanium is a critical metal used in electronics, solar, fiber optics, and infrared optics. China banned germanium exports to the US in Dec 2024. Recent spot prices have exceeded $5,000 USD per kilogram.

Notable Quotes

  • "We are extremely excited to be advancing the Lac du Km 35 property with a modern, systematic work program designed to unlock its full germanium potential... This is a rare opportunity to apply today's geophysical and geological tools to a highly prospective area that has seen very limited historical follow-up." — Mario Pezzente, CEO
