Slightly less tricky using gdal.ApplyGeoTransform() (note the explicit cast of line[0]/col[0]) as a int, to avoid a numpy type to be used, which confuses gdal.ApplyGeoTransform) :

import numpy as np
from osgeo import gdal
ds = gdal.Open('byte.tif', gdal.GA_ReadOnly)
rb = ds.GetRasterBand(1)
img_array = rb.ReadAsArray()
vmin = img_array.min()
(line, col) = np.where(img_array==vmin)
line = int(line[0])
col = int(col[0])
print(f"col={col}, line={line}")
gt = ds.GetGeoTransform()
X, Y = gdal.ApplyGeoTransform(gt, col, line)
print(f"X={X}, Y={Y}")

if you are just interested in any point where the minimum is reached:

import numpy as np
from osgeo import gdal
ds = gdal.Open('P3412A.tif', gdal.GA_ReadOnly)
rb = ds.GetRasterBand(1)
img_array = rb.ReadAsArray()
vmin = img_array.min()
(line, col) = np.where(img_array==vmin)
line = line[0]
col = col[0]
print(f"col={col}, line={line}")
gt = ds.GetGeoTransform()
X = gt[0] + gt[1] * col + gt[2] * line
Y = gt[3] + gt[4] * col + gt[5] * line
print(f"X={X}, Y={Y}")

Hi,

I would like to know the georeferenced coordinates of the min and max values of a DEM file. Even better if I could forward them into a vector file. If the minimum or maximum happens to be on a flat area like seabed I would be happy with the first pixel at the moment.

By copy-pasting from How do I open geotiff images with GDAL in Python? - Stack Overflow <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41996079/how-do-i-open-geotiff-images-with-gdal-in-python> and How to find the indexes of the minimum or maximum value(s) in a matrix using python ? <https://en.moonbooks.org/Articles/How-to-find-the-indexes-of-the-minimum-or-maximum-values-in-a-matrix-using-python-/> I think I managed to get the correct points as numpy indexes

>>> import numpy as np

>>> from osgeo import gdal

>>> ds = gdal.Open('P3412A.tif', gdal.GA_ReadOnly)

>>> rb = ds.GetRasterBand(1)

>>> img_array = rb.ReadAsArray()

>>> vmin = img_array.min()

>>> vmax = img_array.max()

>>> vmin

-0.929

>>> vmax

17.246

>>>

>>> np.where(img_array==vmin)

(array([1504], dtype=intg64), array([1189], dtype=int64))

>>> np.where(img_array==vmax)

(array([1545], dtype=int64), array([2423], dtype=int64))

>>>

But now I have no idea about how to get the georeferenced coordinates.

The task feels rather simple and I was sure that someone has already made an utility or a QGIS plugin, but all I have found yet is for R. I was thinking that perhaps some of the gdaldem modes could be misused for this purpose, but I believe they cannot. For QGIS I found advice to use an obvious but  clumsy method of polygonising the raster and finding the extremes from the vector data. And one OpenJUMP developer took the challenge and wrote a prototype with Java but it is not complete yet.
