# Blue Moon Announces Springer Tungsten 67,000 Metre Diamond Drill Program Focused on Resource Definition and Exploration and 18,000 Metre Historical Core Re-logging Program Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/blue-moon-announces-springer-tungsten-67-000-metre-diamond-drill-program-focused--1525219a-272f-4a16-9a3a-44dc780dfb58 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/MOON/news/8780602791584182/blue-moon-announces-springer-tungsten-67-000-metre-diamond-drill-program-focused Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-07-07T10:45:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Blue Moon Metals Inc. - Ticker: MOON - Exchange: TSX - Region: Nevada - Primary commodity: Tungsten - Secondary commodities: Molybdenum, Copper, Silver, Gold, Bismuth, Tellurium - Document categories: Metallurgy, Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-18 10:39:32 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Blue Moon Metals Inc. has announced a comprehensive 2026 program at the Springer Tungsten Project in Nevada, featuring a 67,000-metre diamond drill program and an 18,000-metre historical core re-logging campaign. The program aims to define resources, test for new mineralized systems in granodiorite stocks, and conduct preliminary metallurgical and ore sorting testwork. Reasoning: The announcement outlines a major, multi-faceted exploration and resource definition campaign involving significant drilling, core re-logging, and metallurgical testing at a permitted facility. - Positive factor: Large 67,000m drill program announced - Positive factor: Systematic validation of historical core to increase sampling coverage from 5% to 44% - Positive factor: Identification of potential new mineralized system in granodiorite stocks - Positive factor: Initiation of metallurgical and ore sorting testwork - Negative factor: Historical data lacks documented QA/QC Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Phase 2 drilling targets lateral and down-plunge extensions of known high-grade beds. Evidence · text > test both the lateral and down-plunge extensions of the known-high grade scheelite rich beds **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The company is implementing NI 43-101 compliant QA/QC for the re-logging program. Evidence · text > Re-logging and re-assaying 18,000 metres of historical core with NI 43-101 compliant QA/QC **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: The project features an existing 1,200 tpd flotation plant. Evidence · text > a 1,200 tpd flotation plant **Single Domain Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established. Why it applies: only one composite was tested ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Metallurgical Results (2) ### flotation [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/blue-moon-announces-springer-tungsten-67-000-metre-diamond-drill-program-focused--1525219a-272f-4a16-9a3a-44dc780dfb58#fact-metallurgical-facts-0) Springer · tungsten #### Identity - Project: Springer - Commodity: tungsten - Region: usa\_nv - Reported Region: Nevada - Ticker: MOON #### Test Work - Program Status: preliminary - Test Type: flotation - Processing Route: flotation - Sample: Sutton 3 stockpile material #### Recovery - Recovery Basis: unspecified #### Review - Needs Review: No - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2026-07-07T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Preliminary flotation optimization and locked-cycle testing initiated on 453 kg of material. - Positive factor: Includes locked-cycle testing - Negative factor: Results are pending Evidence · text > Metallurgical test work will also include flotation optimization through rougher and cleaner flotation tests, culminating in a locked-cycle test #### Tags used in scoring **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: processing\_route matches the flotation signal ### ore sorting [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/blue-moon-announces-springer-tungsten-67-000-metre-diamond-drill-program-focused--1525219a-272f-4a16-9a3a-44dc780dfb58#fact-metallurgical-facts-1) Springer · tungsten #### Identity - Project: Springer - Commodity: tungsten - Region: usa\_nv - Reported Region: Nevada - Ticker: MOON #### Test Work - Program Status: preliminary - Test Type: ore sorting - Sample: Sutton 3 stockpile material #### Review - Needs Review: No - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2026-07-07T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Preliminary ore sorting test program initiated on 20.3 kg of material. - Positive factor: Aims to improve mill feed grade and efficiency - Negative factor: Ore sorting has never been performed on Springer ores Evidence · text > has also initiated a preliminary ore sorting test program to evaluate the potential for pre-concentrating mineralized material from the Sutton 3 stockpile ## How Atlas produces this analysis Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
