The program aims to define resources, test for potential gold-related mineralization \(RIRGS\), and conduct preliminary metallurgical and ore sorting testwork. Reasoning: The announcement outlines a major, multi-faceted exploration and resource definition campaign at the Springer project, including significant new drilling and metallurgical testing. - Positive factor: Large 67,000m drill program announced - Positive factor: Systematic approach combining new drilling with historical core re-logging - Positive factor: Potential for RIRGS \(Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System\) discovery - Positive factor: Initiation of metallurgical and ore sorting testwork - Negative factor: Historical data lacks documented QA/QC Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Phase 2 of the drilling program 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 and using ALS Geochemistry. Evidence · text > Re-logging and re-assaying 18,000 metres of historical core with NI 43-101 compliant QA/QC **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: Phase 1 is designed for near-surface definition and evaluating known mineralized zones. Evidence · text > Phase 1 will consist of approximately 7,000 metres of diamond drilling... designed to rapidly evaluate the near-surface mineralized zones **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 **Multi-Domain Tested** Polarity: positive Definition: Variability across ore domains \(oxide, transition, fresh\) has been addressed. Why it applies: 2 distinct composites were tested ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (1) ### Fact 1 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/blue-moon-announces-springer-tungsten-67-000-metre-diamond-drill-program-focused--18c76e2a-d883-4b1a-a670-a1eab2b37be3#fact-drill-facts-0) Needs review: drill\_no\_hole\_id #### Identity - Region: usa\_nv - Reported Region: usa\_nv - Ticker: MOON #### Classification - Program: mixed - Sample Type: drill #### Location - Location: George Pit and Sutton Underground - Loc.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is true **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: drill\_program\_type is "mixed" **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "HIGHLIGHTS 67,000 metre initial two-phase drill program starting in August 2026, utilizing 6 diamond drill rigs; Re-logg" ## 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--18c76e2a-d883-4b1a-a670-a1eab2b37be3#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: flotation - Processing Route: flotation - Sample: 453 kg of representative material from Sutton 3 stockpile #### Lab - Laboratory: SGS Lakefield #### Review - Needs Review: No - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2026-07-07T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Preliminary testing initiated to characterize Sutton 3 stockpile. - Positive factor: Includes locked-cycle testing Evidence · text > initiated a preliminary metallurgical testing program with SGS Lakefield to evaluate the processing characteristics of material from the Sutton 3 stockpile #### Tags used in scoring **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\).

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.
