Germanium Mining Corp (CSE: GMC)
Pure-play germanium explorer with two projects in North America (Quebec + Nevada).
China banned germanium exports to the US in December 2024.
Germanium price up 720% since 2020 to $8,597/kg. No Western primary germanium producer exists.
Quebec: Highest germanium outcrop value ever recorded in Quebec (186 ppm).
Airborne survey April 2026. Drilling permits being applied for now.
Fall 2026 drill program confirmed.
Nevada: Kipushi-type deposit comparable to the Apex germanium mine (only US primary germanium producer ever). Germanium AND gallium present.
NI 43-101 in preparation.
Catalysts incoming:
• Airborne survey results May 2026 → outcrop sampling Summer 2026 → drilling Fall 2026 → results Spring 2027.
Not financial advice. DYOR.
Possibly the most overlooked critical minerals play right now

Yeah, OK, cool. Once we are done with WWIII, we can talk minerals.
Invest in Germany you’re saying?
This is interesting timing. I was actually looking at critical minerals plays last week on [siriussignals.com](http://siriussignals.com) and noticed a couple guys with solid track records quietly adding to junior mining positions. Didn’t think much of it until I saw this post and now it makes more sense.
The China export ban with zero Western production is just supply and demand math. Going to keep watching this one
Geopolitical export bans are driving Germanium’s 720% price surge to $8,597/kg. $GMC is a high-risk explorer targeting this supply gap. Key catalysts: airborne survey results in May and Fall 2026 drilling. Watch for volume and permit news as these milestones approach. #StockMarket
I would have put my bet on gallium, because of the semiconductor industry, but this focus is missing here

**Why take this course?**
At the heart of the world’s energy transition is a singular, uncomfortable reality – the supply chains underpinning this shift are dirty, fragile, and concentrated. In a world of US-China tech competition and the weaponisation of trade, this dependence is now being tested.
But how did China come to dominate critical mineral supply chains so thoroughly? And why is derisking from China – something every major economy now says it wants – so stubbornly difficult in practice?
This course unpacks the complexities at the intersection of geopolitics, technology, economics, and policy of critical minerals. Across the mineral supply chains, what are the embedded political economy structures and where does value accrue? From diplomatic responses to counter Chinese dominance, to the real costs of “friend-shoring” and why private capital isn’t following the policy signals – the course equips you with the analytical frameworks to go beyond headlines, understand the deeper factors at play and contribute meaningfully to the public discourse.
