Blue Moon Consolidates Springer Tungsten Claims with Acquisition of Claims from GoldPlay LLC and a Private Party

Blue Moon Consolidates Springer Land Base Following Nussir FID; Shares Rally to Multi-Year Highs

Executive Summary
  • Blue Moon Metals Inc. acquired nine unpatented mineral claims in Pershing County, Nevada from GoldPlay LLC and Robert Schafer.
  • The acquisition consolidates land position around the existing Springer Mine and Processing Plant, covering portions of Stank, O'Byrne, and Sutton deposits.
  • Transaction consideration includes 188,199 common shares, US$1 million in cash, and a sliding scale gross revenue royalty (GRR).
  • Company holds an option to buy down the GRR to 1.5% for US$2.0 million over a 3-year period.
  • Claims include historical high-grade tungsten results such as 1.0m @ 3.95% WO3 in hole SU-43.
  • Transaction executed April 27, 2026; completion expected by early May 2026 subject to TSXV approval.
Material Impact
  • The acquisition is a strategic consolidation move following the major Springer Mine acquisition closing on February 10, 2026 ($18.5M cash).
  • Compared to the C$150 million financing and Nussir Final Investment Decision (FID) announced one day prior (April 27), this claim purchase is incremental rather than transformative.
  • The market has already priced in the need for land consolidation around the Springer mill following the February acquisition announcement.
  • The US$1M cash outlay is negligible relative to the C$150M raised and the $184M estimated capital costs for Nussir construction.
  • While positive for operational security, it does not alter the fundamental valuation thesis established by the April 27 financing and FID news which drove the stock from ~$6.00 to ~$11.00 in one week.
