Germanium Mining Corp. has completed summer field work at its Lac du Km 35 Germanium Property in Québec, including mapping and sampling. The company identified a high-grade germanium outcrop of 186 ppm and outlined strong electromagnetic conductors, with assay results for recent samples expected in mid-October 2026.
Group Eleven Resources announced significantly higher germanium grades at its Ballywire discovery in Ireland, following re-analysis of drill core samples using a new, more accurate sodium peroxide fusion assay method. The new method returned germanium grades 68% higher on average, with peak grades up to 94.6 g/t Ge, coincident with high grades of zinc, lead, silver, and copper. The company continues an ambitious, fully-funded drill campaign at Ballywire.
Group Eleven Resources has re-analysed 220 germanium samples from five Ballywire drill holes using a more accurate sodium peroxide fusion method, resulting in an average grade increase of 68%. The re-assays revealed standout intercepts, including 0.97m at 94.6 g/t germanium, strengthening the project's profile as a multi-metal zinc-lead-silver-copper discovery with a high-value germanium byproduct.
Titan Mining Corporation announced the confirmation of district-wide germanium enrichment at its Empire State Mines property in upstate New York. A characterization sampling program revealed elevated germanium grades in both primary zinc ore bodies and historic tailings facilities, with individual samples reaching up to 85.6 ppm. While these results are exploratory and do not constitute a mineral resource estimate for germanium, they establish the metal as a widespread characteristic of the mineral system and identify priority targets for future work, leveraging germanium's status as a critical mineral with high market prices.
Silver Elephant Mining Corp. reports historical drill assays from its Robinson-Lasher Project in Kentucky, revealing high-grade germanium (up to 350 g/t) and zinc (up to 28%) over significant widths. The project is strategically located near a proposed US$7.4 billion critical-minerals smelter. However, all results are historical and unverified, with no current metallurgical or economic studies completed.
Blue Moon Metals reported maiden bulk sample assay results from the Apex project in Utah, showing 0.180% germanium, 0.0273% gallium, and 1.96% copper. The company is exploring direct shipping ore (DSO) opportunities and continues metallurgical and permitting activities.
Cantex Mine Development Corp. has confirmed high germanium enrichment within the sphalerite grains at its North Rackla Massive Sulphide project in the Yukon. LA-ICPMS analysis of sphalerite from the Main Zone averaged 654 g/t germanium, significantly higher than the Red Dog Mine in Alaska. The project offers a potential strategic western source for this critical metal.
Cantex Mine Development Corp. announced high-grade germanium drill results from its 2024 program at the North Rackla Project in Yukon, Canada. Intercepts included up to 180.5 g/t germanium over 2.53 meters within a larger 6.09-meter zone, and 170.8 g/t germanium over 9 meters within a 15-meter interval, both with significant silver, lead, and zinc. The company highlighted the strategic importance of germanium given recent export restrictions from China, positioning the project as a potential alternative Western source.
Cantex Mine Development Corp. announced exceedingly high germanium results from 2023 drilling at its North Rackla Project in Yukon, with grades up to 114.21 g/t. The company emphasized germanium's critical metal status and its price doubling due to supply restrictions. The release also included silver, lead, zinc, and copper grades, noting that these were previously released in May 2024, but detailed QA/QC procedures were provided for all assays.
