Blue Moon Metals consolidates Nevada land position with Springer Mine claims acquisition
Following the closure of the processing plant, the firm moves to control the district around the Springer Tungsten deposit in Pershing County, Nevada.
Blue Moon Metals Inc has entered into an agreement to acquire mineral claims adjacent to its Springer Mine in Pershing County, Nevada. The transaction targets nine unpatented claims covering portions of historically identified veins, including the Stank deposit, the O'Byrne deposits, and a portion of the Sutton deposit.
The acquisition is being pursued from GoldPlay LLC and private party Robert Schafer. Consideration for the deal comprises 188,199 common shares of Blue Moon, US$1 million in cash, and a sliding scale gross revenue royalty on the concessions.
Christian Kargl-Simard, CEO of Blue Moon Metals, stated that the move follows the closure of the Springer Mine and Processing Plant on 10 February 2026. The company aims to consolidate its land position and strategically group claims around the mine to control the district surrounding the historical Springer Tungsten deposit.
The acquired claims are situated directly adjacent to the existing Springer Mine infrastructure. Management reports that the company controls the district of the historical claims around the deposit, reinforcing its focus on the acquisition and exploration of mineral resource properties.
While Blue Moon Metals continues to focus on its Blue Moon zinc and Yava properties, this transaction represents a strategic effort to secure the district following the cessation of operations at the processing plant. The agreement was announced on 27 April 2026, though specific terms regarding the sliding scale gross revenue royalty, such as percentage rates and thresholds, remain undisclosed.
The company notes that final regulatory approval status for the agreement has not been explicitly confirmed as completed in the announcement.
