About the Lac Du Km 35 Germanium Property

The Lac du Km 35 Property is located 40 kilometres east of Chibougamau in Quebec's Nord du Quebec region and benefits from excellent road access via Highway 167 and a network of forestry roads. The project covers volcano sedimentary rocks of the Roy Group and the Laganiere Gneissic Complex, situated within the northeastern Abitibi greenstone belt near the Grenville Front, a major structural boundary.

The key target is the historical Laganiere Germanium showing, discovered in 1998, which returned 0.02 percent (186 parts per million) Germanium from peridotite hosted within gneissic rocks. The showing lies beside a cluster of untested electromagnetic anomalies and close to the Faribault shear zone, a major structure that may have acted as a conduit for mineralizing fluids. Historical results have not been verified by a qualified person.

Limited regional work has been completed, and the area remains largely underexplored. Recent 2024 prospecting returned encouraging values in nickel, cobalt, copper, and gold from outcrop samples, supporting the potential for a broader polymetallic system.

Qualified Person

Benoit Moreau, P.Eng., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and vice-president of exploration for Germanium Mining Corp., has approved and is responsible for the technical information contained in this news release.
