A spokesperson for Natural Resources Canada declined to comment on the Globe story Tuesday morning, referring The Northern Miner to the media advisory.\nLargest producer\nVancouver-based Teck is North America’s largest germanium producer, recovering the mineral as a byproduct of its zinc-mining operations in Alaska. The company is Canada’s only supplier of germanium dioxide to the United States.\nGermanium is considered essential to defence, semi-conductors and chip manufacturing, but China controls more than 80% of global output. The UShas limited domestic production and processing capacity, highlighting the importance of securing new supply sources.\nIn May, Titan Mining (NYSE-A: TII) said it was evaluating potential germanium production from its US-based zinc mining in partnership with Teck. \nTitan and Teck envision recovering 13,000 kg a year of germanium from Titan’s Empire State zinc mine in New York state, according to a cooperation agreement signed May 14. U.S. pricing for germanium now tops $6,000 (C$8,520) per kg, Titan CEO Rita Adiani said Tuesday in a statement.\nSpecialty metal\nGermanium is one of the specialty metals that Teck’s Trail complex produces, along with indium and antimony, in addition to refined zinc and lead. The facility is one of the world’s largest integrated zinc and lead smelters.\nCanada and the US are among the Western countries that have been seeking to diversify critical mineral supply chains following China’s 2024 decision to impose export restrictions on germanium and antimony sales to the US. Although China suspended the restrictions in late 2025, supply security remains a concern because the US has no domestic germanium production, the Globe said.\nFunding the Trail facility would align with Ottawa’s broader push to support critical minerals processing and cut reliance on China. In March, EDC and the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) jointly committed $335 million (C$459 million) in senior debt to fund Nouveau Monde Graphite’s (NYSE: NMG, TSX: NOU) Matawinie project in Quebec through its construction.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.45.2","shortVersion":"4.45.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2649930722","isCrawlerRequest":true}
