Hi Kissie

The below is the most recent announcement from the QAR - 24.04.18

Germanium
Ironbark has identified potentially significant Germanium in the Citronen ore. Further large scale ore body wide assaying is now underway. There have been some frustrating delays with the testwork however measures have been taken to expedite the work going forward.
Germanium is a potential credit in some zinc ore bodies that formed in low temperature
environments, such as Citronen. As previously announced, Ironbark has released results for one composite ore sample that is considered representative of the Beach Zone ore body and that returned a result of 24 parts per million (ppm). Germanium tends to report to, and get upgraded to, the zinc concentrate during processing. Certain zinc smelters around the world are able to extract and pay for the germanium from the zinc concentrate. The testwork has indicated that there is potentially some complexity around the recovery of Germanium at Citronen. Ironbark makes no representation about how much, if any, of the germanium processed will be a payable credit to Ironbark.

My understanding is, they may have found a way...we should know within a month if they have it right.
