Germanium Mining has completed a Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) ground survey and started an airborne magnetic survey at its wholly owned Lac du Km 35 property in Québec, Canada.
The property is located approximately 40km east of Chibougamau in the Nord-du-Québec region.

The TDEM survey covered a 1,400m × 1,400m area that includes a cluster of historic anomalies and the Laganière showing.
Germanium Mining is seeking to identify and map both known and potential new conductors that could suggest the presence of germanium-silver and zinc mineralisation.
The final results of the airborne magnetic survey are anticipated by mid-July 2026.
Results from the survey will be evaluated as part of a planned outcrop mapping and sampling programme.
These exploration activities are part of a programme designed to detect additional shear zones and electromagnetic anomalies.
Germanium Mining intends to map, sample and assay the immediate area of the Laganière showing to inform diamond drill targets for early 2027.
The proposed first phase of diamond drilling is expected to involve six to ten holes covering a total of approximately 2,500m.
Current sample results from the Laganière showing have returned roughly 0.02% or 186 parts per million (ppm) germanium.
The Laganière outcrop, discovered in 1998 by government geologists, lies adjacent to a cluster of previously untested anomalies and near key geological features including the Faribault Shear Zone and the Grenville Front.
Exploration will focus on the area between the Faribault Shear Zone and the Laganière showing, where untested electromagnetic anomalies have been identified.
Germanium Mining CEO Mario Pezzente said: “We have strategically expanded our 100%-owned Lac du Km 35 Germanium property ahead of the active 2026 exploration season to allow for potential additional discoveries contiguous to the north of the Laganière showing that hosts the highest-grade germanium sample in the province of Quebec at 186ppm.
“We are excited to receive shortly TDEM survey results with a goal of outlining new conductors in the vicinity of the Laganière germanium showing on this highly prospective critical metal project.”
In April this year, the company completed the initial phase of a previously announced non-brokered private placement to finance its 2026 exploration initiatives at the Lac Du Km 35 property.
