[{"type":"text","content":" Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2026) - Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (OTCQB: HBEIF) (FSE: 1QA) (Tradegate: 1QA) (\"Honey Badger\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to highlight emerging evidence of the germanium potential at its recently acquired Prairie Creek (\"PC\") Silver Project in the Northwest Territories. The PC Silver Project hosts a historic resource estimate of 9.8 Mt of Measured & Indicated Resources, grading 139 g/t silver, 9.7% zinc and 8.8% lead for a total of 240 Mozs of AgEq (silver equivalent) at a silver equivalent grade of 766 g/t plus 6.4 Mt of Inferred Resources grading 150 g/t silver, 12.9% zinc, and 6.7% lead, hosting 167 Mozs of AgEq at a silver equivalent grade of 813 g/t.(1) Recent work led by Professor Dan Gregory and his research team at the University of Toronto, Canada, has demonstrated the excellent germanium potential of the Prairie Creek deposit. Early-stage whole-rock assay results have returned exceptional values of up to 316 ppm germanium within the Stratabound Massive Sulfide (SMS) zone at the PC Silver Project underscoring the potential for meaningful germanium enrichment within the broader mineralized system.(2,3) The SMS zone comprises around 10-15% of the known total tonnage at Prairie Creek. Andrew Jedemann, Vice President of Exploration at Honey Badger Silver, who will be assisting Dr. Gregory and his team with the ongoing research efforts on site commented: \"We are very encouraged by the early results coming from the University of Toronto team. The recognition of germanium potential at Prairie Creek adds a compelling new dimension to an already high-quality silver-rich polymetallic system. With newly developed analytical methods and strong academic collaboration, we believe there is a real opportunity to create additional value at Prairie Creek from this ongoing partnership. Based on readily available public sources, the price of germanium is high at over US$8,000/kg, double last year's price, and it appears to be trending higher. Although our evaluation is very preliminary, it's conceivable that germanium could eventually provide a material amount of by-product revenue at PC and also attract development funding because it is a highly desirable critical mineral.\" Newly Recognized Critical Mineral Potential Honey Badger Silver notes that historic drilling at...
