Germanium sits inside the #zinc ore at Molaoi.
That matters. Most of the world’s supply is a by-product of zinc, and China produced an estimated 68.6% of it in 2025.
Our short explainer shows where Molaoi fits.

Rockfire Resources (@Rockfireplc, AIM:ROCK) – Maiden germanium resource at Molaoi delayed by several weeks.
Not because of a problem, but because recent drilling has found so many new zinc/germanium zones that the model needs a full re-interpretation. More than 1,360 individual lode intercepts in a ~2 km deposit is unusually high frequency.
A delay driven by more mineralisation is rarely bad news for a multi-lode system, especially one that could become only the second quoted Ge resource outside China — and the only one in the EU.

1/7 - Our maiden JORC #germanium resource estimate is now expected several weeks later than planned.
The reason is the number of new zones of mineralisation found in recent drilling, each of which has to be interpreted and modelled.

6/7 - Initial ore sorting tests with TOMRA, the Norwegian ore sorting firm, are complete.
They look at whether sorting before grinding could lift feed grade into the ball mill. Results will be announced when received and will inform the feasibility study planned for 2027.

7/7 - Still to come: HMO-022 assays, ore sorting results, drone magnetics interpretation and the maiden #germanium estimate.
We'll keep the market updated as Molaoi advances.

1/6 - The #germanium delay took the headline in today's @Rockfireplc update.
Easier to miss: a 47.7% Zn pXRF reading in HMO-022, completed ore sorting tests and a magnetic survey over the whole licence.
Here's what each one means 🧵

Replying to @Rockfireplc
@Rockfireplc (LON #ROCK) has reported exceptionally high-grade zinc mineralisation from its Molaoi project in Greece, including a record individual laboratory assay of 51.1% zinc, as drilling continues to expand confidence in the deposit’s zinc, silver and germanium potential.

7/7 - CEO David Price:
"The interval of mineralisation drilled in hole HMO-021 is exceptional... Each drill hole continues to build resource tonnage and confidence in the mineralisation model."
