Blue Moon Metals Corp. has returned assay results from 12 surface infill holes at its construction-stage Nussir copper-gold-silver project in Finnmark, Norway, highlighted by hole NUS-DD-26-06 intersecting 0.7 metres grading 2.68% copper, 0.14 g/t gold, and 44.9 g/t silver for a copper equivalent grade of 3.14%.

The surface infill program, which began in March 2026, totals 2,628.6 metres of HQ diamond drilling across 12 holes testing a strike length of over 700 metres of the current indicated resource nearest the initial planned production areas. The drilling aims to upgrade the area to a measured resource, provide structural and geotechnical data, and test shallow areas previously unsampled, including the diabase intrusive running parallel to the mineralization.

In hole NUS-DD-26-04, drilling returned 3.2 metres grading 1.17% copper, 0.08 g/t gold, and 11.9 g/t silver, with an interval including 0.7 metres at 2.59% copper, 0.25 g/t gold, and 24.5 g/t silver. Hole NUS-DD-26-02 intersected 1.6 metres at 1.93% copper, 0.15 g/t gold, and 20.2 g/t silver, including 0.8 metres grading 3.59% copper, 0.29 g/t gold, and 35.9 g/t silver. Additionally, hole NUS-DD-26-08 intersected 0.6 metres at 0.69 g/t platinum and 0.42 g/t palladium.

Portions of the mineralized horizon affected by a large fault constrained previous mineral resource estimates and created a break in the existing mine design. Analysis of the recent results constrains the fault boundaries and indicates additional tonnages extending from the known measured resource. Blue Moon will update the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Nussir Project to incorporate these additional tonnages, leading to an optimized mine design. Commercial ore production at Nussir is scheduled to start in Q3 2027 following the final investment decision.

Alongside the infill program, Blue Moon released results from its deep exploration campaign in the western limb of the project. Hole NUS-DD-26-07 intersected 3.7 true thickness metres grading 1.39% copper, 0.05 g/t gold, and 16.8 g/t silver from 917.4 metres depth, including 0.6 metres at 2.30% copper.

In corporate developments, Blue Moon extended its marketing and investor awareness agreement with Outside The Box Capital Inc. to November 8, 2026, requiring a follow-on payment of US$175,000. The company also entered into a three-month investor relations and digital marketing agreement with Winning Media LLC for an upfront fee of US$100,000. Both agreements are subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange, and no securities will be issued as compensation.
