[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – TheNewswire - JANUARY 5, 2026 – GERMANIUM MINING CORP. (“GERMANIUM MINING”, “GMC”, OR THE “COMPANY”) (CSE: GMC; OTCQB: EMSKF; FSE: 1I30) is pleased to announce that a team led by veteran geologist William “Bill” Feyerabend, CPG and Amazona Enterprises (“Amazona”) has been deployed to commence field exploration and reconnaissance program at the Company’s Azure Ridge Historical Mine (“Azure Ridge”), a multi-metal germanium-gallium-gold-silver-zinc project in Nevada, USA. The work program is designed to support the Company’s geological advancement of the property’s critical mineral potential, with a particular focus on germanium and gallium guided by the historical sampling carried out by the US Bureau of Mines (“USBM”) and US Geological Survey (“USGS”)1. The program includes detailed site reconnaissance, geological observations, and selective rock sampling intended to improve the Company’s understanding of mineralization styles and priority target areas.

This maiden exploration effort is the critical first step toward the preparation of an NI 43-101 technical report and unlocking the broader potential of the Azure Ridge Historical Mine, located in Nevada, one of the world’s most highly regarded mining jurisdictions according to the Fraser Institute.” The reconnaissance program is expected to consist of a short-duration field examination utilizing a small field team and appropriate equipment. The planned work is structured to address key geological questions related to host rock characteristics, structural controls, and mineralizing processes, including those relevant to germanium–gallium–bearing systems, and to assist the Company in refining its exploration strategy for this critical minerals–focused project. The Company further plans to continue working with Amazona on the preparation of a planned NI 43-101 Technical Report and technical overview of the Azure Ridge Historical Mine. This work is expected to include a review of available historical information, regional and property-scale geological context, and the res...
