Blue Moon Metals Announces Commencement of Drilling and Exploration Targets

Blue Moon Metals Inc.(TSXV:MOON; OTCQB:BMOOF) (the " Company ") is pleased to announce the commencement of its drilling program to explore and expand the Blue Moon polymetallic volcanic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposit. The initial program consists of 3-4 step-out holes totalling up to 2,400 metres. The holes will test a number of high-impact targets shown on the below long section

Patrick McGrath, Chief Executive officer, stated, "We are excited to announce the resumption of drilling for resource expansion as well as high impact exploration targets in search of new VMS lenses. Since the successful program in early 2020, we have spent considerable resources reviewing the historical data and identified multiple exploration and development drilling opportunities as outlined below, all of which could dramatically change the upside potential size of the Blue Moon deposit. This is an exploration program our Company has been anxiously awaiting. It is well known that VMS deposits are found in clusters or pods and the potential to find additional massive sulphide lenses is very promising. Blue Moon has a 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource dated November 14, 2018 consisting of 10 million ounces silver, 771 million pounds of zinc, 71 million pounds of copper, and 300,000 ounces of gold."

A comprehensive review of the historical and recent drill data identified several priority drill targets with potential for both new lenses and/or expansion of current lenses, including:

  • The West and Main zones remain open down plunge;
  • An off hole electromagnetic (EM) conductor to the south of the deposit lies above a long interval of stringer mineralization cut in hole B70 that is interpreted to be a feeder zone to a nearby massive sulphide lens. The EM target remains untested and may be caused by the massive sulphide lens suggested by the stringer mineralization in hole B70;
  • The area between the American Eagle workings and hole AE1 remains untested with potential to add near surface mineralization; and
  • The down plunge extension of the American Eagle mineralization also remains largely untested.

Analyst Report Highlights Major Upside in Cobre’s Botswana Copper Play

Description

Cobre Limited (ASX:CBE) is gaining attention for its expansive exploration efforts across highly prospective copper and quartz tenements in Botswana and Western Australia. A recent report by Independent Investment Research (IIR) highlights Cobre’s growing potential in the copper sector, especially within the underexplored yet mineral-rich Kalahari Copper Belt.

Key Highlights from the IIR report:

Botswana: High-grade Copper in Elephant Country

At the core of Cobre’s portfolio is its 100 percent owned Kalahari copper project (KCP) in northwestern Botswana, an emerging global copper hotspot. The project spans 5,393 sq km across four key tenement blocks – Ngami, Okavango, Kitlanya East and Kitlanya West. It sits adjacent to major producing assets owned by Sandfire Resources and MMG, which together hold 7 million tonnes of copper and nearly 300 million ounces of silver in resources.

Silver Reserves: Top 5 Countries

Silver investors are usually interested in which countries produce the most ounces of the metal.

After all, if a nation is producing an abundance of the white metal, many mining companies are likely operating there, and profitable investment opportunities may be available.

However, it’s also worth looking at silver reserves, which are a country’s economically mineable silver supply. In general, the world’s largest global silver producers also have high silver reserves that are worth learning about, but some countries with high silver reserves are not mining much of the metal.

How to Invest in Silver: Buying Bullion, Stocks and More

For investors wondering how to invest in silver, this guide covers the basics of the top options for silver investing: buying silver bullion, silver stocks, silver ETFs and silver futures.

Silver has long been an attractive vehicle not only for storing wealth, but for generating it too. Silver bugs rave about the growth opportunities to be had in a price rally. However, what goes up must come down, and the silver market is prone to deep dives, providing buying opportunities.

Investing in silver and gold is similar, but the nuances of both merit learning about them individually. Silver often trades similarly to fellow precious metal gold, meaning its significantly lower price point offers investors a more affordable method for hedging against volatility. Silver also has growing industrial demand from clean energy and electrification sectors.

Check out our beginner's guide to silver investing below, including links to in-depth guides and silver stock and ETF lists for when you're ready to go deeper.
