The USGS has last month put out a report into the global germanium market.

Unless extracting the GeO2 is too expensive a problem, you would think PMH have a mine on their hands here.
Working from the Fig 2 map in the latest PMH quarterly, I have done a "back-of-an-envelope" calculation of possible broad mine parameters. It looks to me as if PMH might be able to produce 20,000 kg of GeO2 per year, circa 20% of global supply and have a 10 year mine life. I can post my figures and assumptions if anyone is interested to go through it and offer comments - suggestions.
