Germanium Mining Corp. Completes Remote Sensing Work On Its Lac Du Km 35 Property In Chibougamau Area, Quebec

Executive Summary

  • Germanium Mining Corp. completed remote‑sensing work on its Lac Du Km 35 property in the Chibougamau area, identifying new structural and circular features that may host germanium mineralization.
  • The satellite imagery (ESA PNEO, 30 cm resolution) revealed a ~300 m diameter circular feature coincident with the historic Laganière germanium showing (0.02% Ge, 186 ppm), plus multiple NE‑trending structures and the Faribault Shear Zone.
  • The company plans a summer 2026 field program to map and sample 15–20 potential outcrops per line‑kilometre, with GIS integration and 1:5,000 scale mapping to guide drilling decisions.

Key Details

  • Property Overview: Lac Du Km 35 hosts the Faribault Shear Zone (FSZ) dipping SSW, intersecting the Grenville Front; the Laganière germanium showing is the highest reported outcrop value in Québec (0.02% Ge).
  • Remote‑Sensing Methodology: Utilized ESA PNEO satellite constellation with panchromatic 30 cm resolution imagery acquired September 2023; pan‑sharpened visible/infrared bands processed through proprietary algorithms to detect structural bodies, intrusions, dykes, and lenticular features.
  • Key Structural Findings:
  • New NE, EW, NNE, and NW trending structures identified; many align with Québec government structural maps, while several are newly discovered.
  • Circular feature ~300 m diameter associated with the Laganière showing; nature currently unknown pending ground verification.
  • FSZ clearly mapped ~450 m southwest of the germanium outcrop.
  • Electromagnetic Anomaly Cluster: Unexplored 400 m × 400 m EM anomaly zone located ~450 m NE of the FSZ and ~800 m south of the Duberger felsic pluton; now a primary target for upcoming sampling.
  • Future Field Program (Summer 2026):
  • Targeting 15–20 potential outcrops per line‑kilometre based on remote‑sensing interpretation.
  • Data to be integrated into GIS and produced as 1:5,000 scale maps for logistical optimization and drill planning.
  • Technical Responsibility: Benoit Moreau, P.Eng., VP Exploration (NI 43‑101 qualified person), signed off on the technical content.
  • Market Context: Germanium is a critical metal with spot prices > US$5,000/kg; recent Chinese export ban to the U.S. underscores strategic importance of domestic sources.

Notable Quotes

“The remote sensing work has dramatically enhanced our understanding of the structural controls on germanium mineralization at Lac Du Km 35 and will enable a highly focused field campaign this summer.” – Mario Pezzente, CEO & Director, Germanium Mining Corp.
