Blue Moon Metals Inc. (TSXV: MOON) (NASDAQ: BMM) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the Gage Project, located in Washington County, Southern Utah, USA, from a subsidiary of Liberty Gold Corp. for consideration of 420,935 common shares of Blue Moon and a 2.0% net smelter return royalty on certain concessions.
Christian Kargl-Simard, CEO of Blue Moon stated, “Post the acquisition of the Apex Mine from Teck Resources that closed on March 16, 2026 (see press releases from February 27 and March 16), this Acquisition bolsters our land position around the mine and control of what we believe to be the most important germanium and gallium district in North America. The Gage Project contains similar style breccia pipes as at the Apex Mine, which hosts the only historic primary germanium and gallium mine in the western world.”
The Gage Project
The Gage Project consists of 181 unpatented mining claims located on Bureau of Land Management lands and two Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration leases, for a total area of 5,916 hectares. The lands are located along a north-west trending critical metals belt greater than 5 kilometres in length (covering 5 historic mines and over 20 previously identified critical minerals prospects) and surround the Apex Mine.
The district is considered highly prospective for modern exploration and discovery, including alteration mapping, regional geophysical surveys and drill-testing at depth. No modern exploration has been conducted on the other mapped breccia pipes (10 mapped) or regional prospects (9 mapped), in addition to numerous other areas not yet discovered. Previous drilling (1980, Musto) was focused on only a 600-foot vertical section of a single breccia pipe, and it is estimated that up to 10 pipes may be present, with many more regionally.
