TORONTO, Oct. 6, 2026 /CNW/ -- Blue Moon Metals Inc. ("Blue Moon" or the "Company") (TSXV: MOON) (NASDAQ: BMM) is pleased to announce additional assay results from its ongoing 18,000 m relogging campaign, including the second highest grade drilling result to date at the Company's Springer Tungsten Mine in Imlay, Nevada ("Springer"), assaying 7.84% WO3 over 0.3 m.
Historical Core Re-Assay Program
The Company is continuing its thorough re-examination and re-assay campaign of previously drilled core located on the property. To date, approximately 77% of the 18,000 meters of historical core have been relogged. As part of the re-assay program: drillhole NM-30 returned a 0.3-metre sample grading 7.82% WO3 from 183.5 m, representing the second-highest assay in drill core on the property and the highest-grade assay identified to date in the East Sutton Beds. It is hosted in a 1-foot-wide skarn lens in the Sutton 1 zone. The high-grade interval was not sampled historically when it was drilled in May of 1977 but was relogged by the current team and sent for assay in August 2026. This current intercept is not included in Skarn lens modelling and will be followed up by new drilling this year. The deeper portion of NM-30 (230.7 m to 345.3 m) is currently pending assay results as seen in the section below. The historical assay data shown on the lower part of NM-30 correlates to the recent results of neighboring NM-44 (refer to Blue Moon's press release from September 22, 2026). Full tables of new assays can be found at the end of this press release.
In addition, re-assays from drillhole NM-45 confirmed a 9.44-metre interval grading 0.26% WO3 at a downhole depth of 342.4 metres. The re-assay also identified a new mineralized interval further down-dip that was not historically sampled, returning 0.18% WO3 over 3.8 metres at a depth of 372.1 metres. See tables below.
Sampling and QA/QC
The Springer Mine hosts historical drill core from multiple previous owners of the property, in core diameters of BQ, NQ, and HQ sizes. The current sampling program includes quartering of previously assayed material and a large volume of previously untested, but mineralized rock.
Samples are being analyzed by ALS Geochemistry using analytical packages that include XRF analysis for WO3, a 48-element multi-element suite, and selective fire assay for gold. ALS Global is a premier accredited, independent testing, inspection, and certification body. ALS Minerals (Geochemistry) laboratories maintain global accreditations, primarily centered around the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard. Comprehensive QA/QC protocols have been implemented in accordance with CIM Best Practice Guidelines, with QA/QC samples representing approximately 12.5% of all assays, or a 1:8 ratio. These protocols support a robust dataset for future exploration targeting and resource evaluation.
