# Blue Moon Announces Initial Deep Drilling Step-Out Results from Nussir, Supplemented with Increased Resource Confidence from Infill Drilling Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/blue-moon-announces-initial-deep-drilling-step-out-results-from-nussir-supplemen--0ab44252-116f-4c03-97ec-0f528bbe00af Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/MOON.V/press-releases/4648264400683365 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-04-16T00:56:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-01T04:18:16.168Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-01T04:18:16.168Z - Company: Blue Moon Metals Inc. - Ticker: MOON - Exchange: TSXV - Region: Norway - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-10-01 04:18:16 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.70 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Blue Moon Metals has reported successful deep step-out drilling at the Nussir project in Norway, with two daughter holes intersecting high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralization at depths exceeding 1,100 meters. The program also included infill drilling to increase resource confidence and the discovery of previously unsampled historical core. Reasoning: The release reports successful deep step-out drilling with high-grade copper intercepts and confirms resource continuity via infill drilling, significantly advancing the project's scale. - Positive factor: Successful step-out drilling at depth - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts at >1km depth - Positive factor: Infill drilling confirming resource continuity - Positive factor: Discovery of unsampled historical core - Negative factor: One hole abandoned due to technical difficulties Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The release reports successful 200m step-out holes at depths over 1km. Evidence · text > two daughter holes were successfully completed ... as a 200 meter step-out hole **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 release details sampling protocols, laboratory accreditation \(ISO 17025\), and QA/QC insertion rates. Evidence · text > The ALS laboratory in Piteå maintains ISO 17025 accreditation via SWEDAC. ... QAQC samples, in the form of sample blanks, duplicates and certified reference materials \(CRM\) are currently inserted every 8 th sample ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
