Blue Moon Metals' nine-month loss widens to C$83M
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Blue Moon Metals Inc. (BMM) reported a C$83.0 million net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, versus C$17.6 million a year earlier, and used C$65.6 million in operating activities versus C$15.6 million. Cash and cash equivalents were C$93.7 million at quarter-end; the company has not received revenue from mining operations.
After a final investment decision to develop Nussir, Blue Moon transferred C$108.5 million of mineral rights to property, plant and equipment. It agreed to sell Blue Moon Norway AS, which holds all its Norwegian assets, to ACG for 8,853,632 ACG Class A ordinary shares valued at US$220 million, subject to cash adjustments. Closing is expected by November 30, 2026, with a December 15 long-stop date. Blue Moon will repay the Nussir bridge loan by closing; the ACG shares have a six-month lockup, and the company will work with ACG to distribute or sell shares to its shareholders within 12 months of closing.
After quarter-end, Elmet completed a C$35.0 million equity investment intended to support Springer development and related corporate initiatives. A proposed US$50.0 million tungsten prepayment facility and the joint venture funding arrangements remain subject to due diligence, regulatory approvals and definitive agreements.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Moderate pointNine-month net loss was C$83.0 million, versus C$17.6 million in 2025.
- Moderate pointOperating cash used was C$65.6 million, versus C$15.6 million in 2025.
Filing Explained
At September 30, C$9.9 million was restricted, while management expected liquidity for obligations and planned activity for at least 12 months.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
- Nature of operations and liquidity
a) Nature of Operations
Blue Moon Metals Inc. (“Blue Moon” or the “Company”) is a development stage company which is focused on the exploration and development of mineral resource properties, having made the final investment decision on the Nussir Project (as defined below) as well as proceeding to commence development in the Springer Project (as defined below), following equity investment from The Elmet Group (“Elmet” or “TEG”) in October 2026.
The Company was incorporated on January 15, 2007 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA"). Effective October 23, 2026, the Company was continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) ("OBCA") following shareholder approval on July 30, 2026. The Company's registered office and head office are located at Suite 550, 220 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2W4. The Company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the ticker symbol “MOON" and, since January 26, 2026, on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "BMM".
The Company owns the zinc-silver-gold-copper Blue Moon project in California, US through its wholly owned subsidiary Keystone Mines Inc. (“Keystone Mines”), the Nussir copper-gold-silver property (“Nussir Project”) in Norway through its 94.52% owned subsidiary Nussir ASA (“Nussir”), the Sulitjelma copper-zinc property (“Sulitjelma Project”) in Norway through its wholly owned subsidiary Nye Sulitjelma Gruver SA (“NSG”), the tungsten mill and mine Springer complex (“Springer Project”) in Nevada through its wholly owned subsidiary Blue Moon (Springer) Inc. and the germanium and gallium Apex project (“Apex Project”) in Utah through its wholly owned subsidiary Blue Moon (Utah) Inc. See Note 3 for more details.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 12, 2026.
b) Liquidity
The nature of the Company’s operations requires significant expenditures for the acquisition, exploration and evaluation, and development of mineral properties. To date, the Company has not received any revenue from mining operations and is considered to be in the development stage. The Company’s operations have been primarily funded from equity financings. The Company will continue to require additional funding to maintain its ongoing exploration and evaluation programs, property maintenance payments, operations and project development and construction as it entered the development stage.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using IFRS® as issued by the International Accounting Standards Boards (“IFRS® Accounting Standards”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due.
From December 2024 to the end of September 30, 2026, the Company has been successful in securing financing and raised close to $300 million in gross receipts from equity financings. In May 2026, the Company closed an offering with gross proceeds of $156.3 million, comprised of a public prospectus financing and a concurrent private placement (See note 14). In February 2026, the Company acquired the Springer project in Nevada and paid the remaining US$18.0 million of the US$18.5 million cash purchase cost. Subsequent to September 30, 2026, the Company completed the closing of strategic financing arrangements related to the Springer Project, including a $35.0 million equity investment (See note 22). The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional funding from equity transactions or through other arrangements. Over the past year, the Company has been successful in securing financing, which has strengthened its liquidity position and supported the continued development of its projects. Based on the above, management expects that the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and continue its planned activities for at least the next 12 months from September 30, 2026.

a) Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements under IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards.
The Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain items at fair value. Additionally, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The Company’s presentation currency is Canadian (“C$”) dollars. Reference herein of $ or C$ is to Canadian Dollars, US$ is to United States Dollars and NOK is to Norwegian Krone.
The functional currency of the parent company is the Canadian dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s Norwegian subsidiaries is Norwegian Krone. The Company’s United States subsidiaries, including Keystone Mines Inc., Blue Moon (Springer) Inc., Blue Moon (Utah) Inc., have the United States dollar as its functional currency. Effective January 1, 2026, the functional currency of Keystone Mines Inc. changed from the Canadian dollar to the United States dollar following changes in the underlying transactions, events and conditions relevant to the entity. This included increased US$ denominated expenditures and operating activities associated with the advancement of the Company’s Blue Moon project. The change in functional currency was applied prospectively from the date of change in accordance with IAS 21. These entities are translated into Canadian dollars for consolidation in accordance with IAS 21.
Statement of financial position items are classified as current if receipt or payment is due within twelve months. Otherwise, they are presented as non-current.
b) Material Accounting Policies
The financial framework and accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, except for the following accounting policies adopted during the period as a result of the recognition of asset retirement obligations and the capitalization of borrowing costs related to qualifying development assets.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes a provision for legal and constructive obligations associated with the reclamation and closure of mineral properties, property, plant and equipment, and other long-lived assets when a present obligation exists and a reasonable estimate of the obligation can be made.
The asset retirement obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows required to settle the obligation using a market-based discount rate. The associated asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related mineral property or property, plant and equipment and is depreciated on the same basis as the related asset.
Following initial recognition, the carrying amount of the obligation is increased over time to reflect the passage of time through accretion expense. Changes in estimated future cash flows, timing of settlement, inflation rates or discount rates are recognized as adjustments to the corresponding asset and liability. Actual expenditures incurred to settle asset retirement obligations are charged against the provision as incurred.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or development of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use.
Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the qualifying asset are being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred, and activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress. Capitalization ceases when substantially all of the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use are complete.
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to qualifying assets are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
c) Significant Judgements and Estimates in Applying the Company’s Accounting Policies
Significant Judgments
The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make significant judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the basis of consolidation. These include but are not limited to the following:
Going concern
Although during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company had a loss from operations and negative cash flows from operational activities, the Company continued to be able to secure debt and equity financing to fulfill its operational and developmental needs. Based on management’s expectations of future net cash flows, management has applied judgement that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Recoverability of Asset Carrying Values
The Company assesses its property, plant and equipment for impairments if there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that carrying values may not be recoverable at each statement of financial position date. Such indicators include changes in the Company’s business plans, changes in the market and evidence of physical damage. As the Company has made its final investment decision on Nussir and transferred the related mineral rights expenditures to property, plant and equipment, management assessed the recoverability of the associated carrying values. Prior to the reclassification, the recoverable amount of the Nussir mineral property was estimated to exceed its carrying value, and thereby no impairment loss was recorded.
Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired involves management’s judgement on highly uncertain matters such as estimates of project future production, estimated quantities of mineral reserves and resources, expected future production costs, and discount rates.
Valuation of Mineral Property Interests
The carrying amount of the Company’s mineral property interests does not necessarily represent present or future values, and the Company’s mineral property assets have been accounted for under the assumption that the carrying amount will be recoverable. Recoverability is dependent on various factors, including the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral properties themselves. Additionally, there are numerous geological, economic, environmental and regulatory factors and uncertainties that could impact management’s assessment as to the overall viability of its properties or to the ability to generate future cash flows necessary to cover or exceed the carrying value of the Company’s mineral property assets.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
Estimations and Assumptions
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
i) Share-based Payments
The estimation of share-based payments includes estimating the inputs used in calculating the fair value for share-based payments expense included in profit or loss and share-based share issuance costs included in equity. Share-based payments expense and share-based share issuance costs are estimated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model as measured on the grant date to estimate the fair value of stock options. This model involves the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the Company’s common shares, the expected life of the options, and the estimated forfeiture rate.
ii) Income Taxes
The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.
iii) Incremental Borrowing Rate – Lease Liability Measurement
When the Company enters into leases as lessee and where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, the Company determines its incremental borrowing rate in order to measure its lease liability. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. In determining its incremental borrowing rate, the Company considers the term of the lease, the nature of the leased asset, and its level of indebtedness with reference to market risk-free interest rates.
iv) Measurement of Fair Values at Acquisition Date
In accounting for the acquisitions of the various mining properties, a significant estimate was calculated in determining the relative fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase consideration, including directly attributable acquisition costs, was allocated to the acquired assets on a relative fair value basis.
For Springer, the acquired assets primarily consisted of property, plant and equipment, mineral properties, water permits and fee land. For Apex and the additional lands surrounding Springer and Apex, the acquired assets primarily consisted of mineral properties and related mining interests.
v) Measurement of Asset Retirement Obligations
The measurement of asset retirement obligations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future closure and reclamation costs, the timing of rehabilitation activities, inflation rates, discount rates and the expected life of the Nussir Project. Changes in these assumptions may result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of the related obligation and capitalized asset.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, IFRS® Accounting Standards issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces a revised structure for the income statement, requiring presentation of income and expenses within operating, investing and financing categories and mandating specified subtotals. It also sets disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures and provides enhanced guidance on aggregation and disaggregation in the financial statements and notes.
IFRS 18 does not change the recognition or measurement of items, nor the classification of items within other comprehensive income. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with retrospective application required and early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company completed the acquisition of the Springer and Apex mining properties as well as two less significant acquisitions of mining properties adjacent to the original Springer and Apex properties. The assets of Springer acquired included plant and equipment, and mineral properties while the others consists solely of mineral properties. Management concluded that these acquisitions did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 due to a lack of substantive processes and accordingly accounted for the transactions as asset acquisitions. The consideration transferred, including cash, share consideration and directly attributable transaction costs, was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired based on their relative fair values.
a) Springer Mine and Mill
On February 10, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of the Springer Mine and Mill located in Nevada from GOODS LG LLC. Management concluded that the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 due to a lack of substantive processes and accordingly accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition.
The purchase consideration consisted of $25.1 million (being an initial cash deposit of US$0.5 million and a final cash payment of US$18.0 million) and directly attributable transaction costs of $0.5 million, for total consideration of $25.6 million.
The purchase consideration, including directly attributable transaction costs, was allocated to the acquired assets based on their relative values. Of the total consideration allocated, $24.8 million was assigned to property, plant and equipment, including the processing facilities, infrastructure and fee land and $0.8 million was assigned to mineral properties, including the unpatented mining claims and water permits.
On May 15, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of the WO Claims from GoldPlay LLC and a private party for a total fair value of consideration of $3,097,220 consisting of a cash payment of US$1 million and the issuance of 188,199 common shares of the Company valued at $1,722,021 as well as a sliding scale gross revenue royalty (“GRR”) of between 3%-5% on the production from the concessions, with the option to purchase down to 1.5% of the GRR within the first three years of the effective date of the agreement. The purchase consideration, including directly attributable costs of $43,684, was allocated to the acquired mineral properties.
b) Apex Mine
On March 13, 2026, the Company closed the acquisition of the Apex property in Utah from Teck American Incorporated, a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”). The property consists of patented and unpatented mining claims associated with a past-producing germanium, gallium and copper underground mine. The Company assumed a pre-existing 3% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 due to a lack of substantive processes and accordingly accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Blue Moon Metals Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
The purchase consideration consisted of 7,031,959 common shares of the Company issued to Teck at a fair value of $53.4 million, based on the Company’s closing share price on the acquisition date, and directly attributable transaction costs of $0.2 million, for total consideration of $53.6 million, a 0.5% NSR royalty on the property, life-of-mine zinc concentrate offtake rights for the Blue Moon deposit, marketing rights for the Apex deposit and certain investor rights.
On April 1, 2026, the Company closed the acquisition of Gage properties from a subsidiary of Liberty Gold Corp. (“Liberty Gold”) for a fair value of consideration of $3,704,228 consisting of the issuance of 420,935 common shares of the Company and a 2.0% NSR on certain concessions with an option for the Company to buy down to 1% for a cash payment of US$2.0 million. The Gage properties extended the land position of the Apex property. The purchase consideration, including directly attributable costs of $100,765, was allocated to the acquired mineral properties.
These acquired assets primarily consisted of mineral properties and related mining interests. As the transaction represented an acquisition of assets rather than a business combination, the purchase consideration, including directly attributable transaction costs, was capitalized to mineral properties.

Non-current portion of advances is primarily related to deposits made to suppliers for the Nussir process plant and infrastructure. The value added tax receivable balance is primarily comprised of value added tax recoverable on deposits and other amounts paid to suppliers in connection with the development of the Nussir project.
As at September 30, 2026, the Company had advanced US$3.5 million in connection with the acquisition of land package and water rights adjacent to the Springer Project. The acquisition had not closed as of the reporting date and the amount has been recorded as a deposit on mineral property acquisition within non-current other receivables, advances and prepaid expenses assets. The proposed acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions (see Note 22).
As at September 30, 2026, the Company held investments in marketable securities listed on the TSXV. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company disposed of its entire investment in a publicly listed company, comprising 4,250,000 common shares, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $3,812,377. As at September 30, 2026, the Company held 50,000 common shares of another publicly listed company on the TSXV.
These investments are classified as financial assets measured as fair value through profit or loss. As at September 30, 2026, the fair value of the investments in marketable securities was $3,250 based on the closing market price on that day (December 31, 2025: $807,500). During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a fair value gain of $3,008,127 was included in Other Income on the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss (Note 12).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, following the final investment decision to proceed with the development of Nussir to become a mine, the Company transferred the cost of Nussir mineral rights to property, plant and equipment. Further, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company completed the acquisitions of Springer and Apex, as well as properties in the vicinity of Springer and Apex (Note 3). As these are considered asset acquisitions, they are recorded at the fair value of the consideration, and the value allocated to mineral rights, except for the process plant for Springer, the value of which was allocated to property, plant and equipment.
On June 26, 2026, pursuant to a previously announced non-binding letter of intent, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary NSG entered into a binding share purchase agreement with Alpha Future Funds S.C.S. (“AFF”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary VMS Explorations AS (“VMS”) to combine NSG and VMS into a single entity. NSG and VMS hold permits over the historic Sulitjelma mining district in Norway and the proposed transaction is expected to support an integrated development approach to advance the project.
Management assessed the NSG assets against the classification criteria for assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Based on this assessment, the criteria for classification as held for sale were not met as at September 30, 2026. Accordingly, the assets continue to be classified as non-current assets.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
(unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
Assets under construction represent development expenditures incurred at the Company’s Nussir project after the final investment decision was made to advance the project to a mine. They also include the Springer process plant and facilities, which are being held for commissioning and are therefore currently non-depreciable.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, following the final investment decision to develop the Nussir properties into a mine, the Company transferred the cost of Nussir mineral rights to property, plant and equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company completed the acquisitions of a number of assets, including the Springer mill and mine (see Note 3).
*The cost and accumulated depreciation related to right-of-use ("ROU") assets are included within the Equipment and Other category in the property, plant and equipment table. As at September 30, 2026, the cost of ROU assets was $34,714,197 (December 31, 2025: $28,196,164) and accumulated depreciation was $3,398,595 (December 31, 2025: $1,298,869). The resulting net book value of ROU assets was $31,315,602 as at September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: $26,897,295).

(i) Other liabilities primarily relate to an accrual related to the Nussir project, required under the agreement with Finnmarkseiendommen (“FeFo“).
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the Company determined that its restricted share units (“RSUs”) should be classified as equity-settled rather than cash-settled. Accordingly, the related liability of $1,839,369 was reclassified to equity, and no liability remained in respect of the RSUs as at September 30, 2026.

- Lease liabilities relate to arrangements associated with operations at the Nussir project and the Blue Moon project. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized additional lease liabilities and ROU assets of approximately $7.0 million in connection with a 24-month lease for camp operations at the Nussir project. The Company also recognizes lease liabilities related to office and ground surface leases associated with the Blue Moon project. The arrangement with the Hammerfest port relating to quay repairs and continued use was assessed as a variable lease with no fixed minimum payments. Accordingly, no lease liability or right-of-use (“ROU”) asset has been recognized in respect of this arrangement.
- On August 19, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a bridge loan agreement with Hartree Partners, LP (“Hartree”) and a fund managed by Oaktree Capital Management Inc. (“Oaktree”).
The bridge loan provided a total facility of US$25,000,000, available in two advances of US$12,500,000 each. The first advance was drawn on September 4, 2025 by Nussir. The second advance remains undrawn as at September 30, 2026. It is part of a broader US$140,000,000 project financing package by Hartree and Oaktree for the construction of Nussir, with provisions for termination subject to a break fee of 2% of the project financing package.
Interest is calculated at the base rate plus 8% per annum. The base rate is the greater of:
- Adjusted Term SOFR, defined as 3-month Term SOFR + 0.10%; and
- 3.00%
Interest is calculated on a 360-day year and payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. The Company has the option to pay interest in kind, in which case the accrued interest is capitalized to the loan principal, subject to lender approval.
The bridge loan matures on June 30, 2027 and is secured by pledges over the shares and assets of Nussir, Blue Moon Norway, REAS and Keystone Mines.
In connection with the initial advance, the Company paid a structuring premium of 2% of the total commitment and incurred legal fees, both of which were deducted from the proceeds on initial recognition in accordance with IFRS 9. The Company also issued 1,045,000 bonus shares to one of the lenders as consideration for providing the facility. The bonus shares issued, the fair value of which was $3,396,250, was recorded as a deferred financing cost and will be recognized as a deduction from the carrying amount of the loan and amortized over the term of the bridge loan using the effective interest method upon draw down. For the initial draw, 50% of the value of the bonus shares has been recognized as a transaction cost, with the remaining 50% to be recognized when the second tranche is drawn. The carrying value of the bonus shares is recorded as deferred financing cost at $1,695,784 as at September 30, 2026.
As a result, the carrying value of the bridge loan increases over time through the amortization of deferred financing costs and bonus share consideration recognized within the accretion expense. The bridge loan is classified as a financial liability at amortized cost and is measured using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate on the first advance is approximately 16.78%.
The Company capitalized borrowing costs of $793,119 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 (2025: nil) that were directly attributable to the acquisition, construction and development of Nussir.
As at September 30, 2026, the carrying amount of the bridge loan was $16,115,780. The fair value of the loan approximates its carrying amount given its recent issuance and floating interest rate.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other income of $3,048,199 consisted primarily of the reversal of a historic NOK 15 million provision, resulting in other income of approximately $2,310,183, associated with the Hammerfest Port dispute following settlement of the matter, as further described in Note 10.

On May 6, 2026, the Company closed its bought deal Offering, consisting of the Public Offering of 10 million common shares with a partial exercise of over-allotment option of 0.625 million common shares, at $10.00 per share, and the Concurrent Private Placement of 5 million common shares at the same price, for an aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $156.3 million. Scotiabank, ATB Cormark Capital Markets and Canaccord Genuity Corp. acted as joint bookrunners on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters, including Haywood Securities Inc., Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC, Maxim Group LLC and Red Cloud Securities Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). The Underwriters received an aggregate cash commission of approximately $7.8 million in connection with the Offerings.
On April 24, 2026, the Company issued 526,617 common shares to Hartree Partners LP (“Hartree”) at a price of $9.06, pursuant to its participating rights to top-up.

Pursuant to a pre-existing participation right, Hartree elected to exercise its pre-emptive right to participate in the financing and on March 6, 2026, subscribed for an additional 12,613 common shares at the same price of $7.208 per share. On March 10, 2026, the Company announced the closing of the financing, issuing an aggregate of 181,127 common shares for total gross proceeds of $1,305,565.

Concurrent with the first draw under the related bridge loan, the Company issued 1,045,000 bonus shares to Hartree for no cash consideration as part of the financing arrangement. The fair value of the bonus shares was based on the Company’s closing share price on September 4, 2025.
On May 8, 2025, the Company issued 376,833 shares at a price of $3.00 per share for gross proceeds of $1,130,499 to LNS.

On February 26, 2025, on closing of the Nussir and NSG transactions, 9,000,028 Subscription Receipts, issued as part of the December 19, 2024 unit financing were automatically converted into 9,000,035 common shares of the Company without payment of additional consideration (rounding due to the 10:1 share consolidation).

Under the Company’s Plan, RSUs are granted to employees, directors and non-employees as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Each RSU represents a unit with the underlying value equal to the value of one common share of the Company, vests over a specified period of service in accordance with the plan and can be equity settled at the discretion of the Company. RSUs granted to date generally vest over a period of up to three years, except for RSUs granted during the current period, which vest over a two-year period.
During the period 1,033,246 RSUs were granted in 2026, 17,832 RSUs were settled and 8,334 RSUs were forfeited. On April 21, 2025, 25,000 RSUs were granted, and on December 1, 2025 the Company granted a further 385,415 RSUs. Previously, the Company intended to settle RSUs in cash, and the cost was recognized as an other liability in the consolidated statements of financial position, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the intended method of settlement was re-assessed as equity-settled. Consequently, the RSU liability was reduced to nil, and approximately $1,839,369 was reclassified from liability to equity as reflected in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. As at September 30, 2026, the fair value of the RSU liability was nil (note 10) and a total of 1,454,995 RSUs were outstanding (September 30, 2025: 62,500), of which 5,000 were vested and 1,449,995 were unvested (June 30, 2026: nil vested and 439,581 unvested).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, an amount of $1,667,320 (September 30, 2025: $76,334) as related to RSUs was recorded in stock-based compensation expense.

Under the Company’s Plan, DSUs are granted to directors as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Each DSU represents a unit with the underlying value equal to the value of one common share of the Company and in accordance with the terms of the plan is settled upon a director’s departure from the Board or twelve months from grant, whichever is later. DSU’s vest over one year from the grant date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, 268,586 DSUs were granted, and 48,310 common shares were issued in settlement of DSUs. As the Company intends to equity settle the awards, the cost of the DSUs is recognized as a component of contributed surplus in the consolidated statements of financial position and as an expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The fair value is not remeasured after the grant date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, an amount of $66,307 (September 30, 2025: $526,163) relating to DSUs was recorded in stock-based compensation expense. As at September 30, 2026, the Company had 394,782 DSUs outstanding, of which 126,196 were vested and 268,586 were unvested (September 30, 2025: 140,000 vested and 84,506 unvested).

The Company is a mineral exploration and development company focusing on advancing its projects in Norway and the United States, including its material projects in Nussir and Blue Moon. Its principal source of funding is the issuance of equity securities.
The Company considers capital to be equity attributable to common shareholders, comprised of share capital, contributed surplus, and deficit. It is the Company’s objective to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to explore and develop its projects.
The Company manages its capital structure based on the funds available for its operations and makes adjustments for changes in economic conditions, capital markets and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain its objectives, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, seek debt financing, alternative project financing, acquire or dispose of assets or change the timing of its planned exploration and development projects. There is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.

The Company monitors its cash position on a regular basis to determine whether sufficient funds are available to meet its short-term and long-term corporate objectives.
There has been no change in the Company’s capital management practices during the period. Blue Moon does not pay dividends. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company is exposed to liquidity and credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, other receivables, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred income and the bridge loan. These financial assets and liabilities are primarily classified and measured at amortized cost, except for marketable securities, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
As at September 30, 2026, the carrying amount of the bridge loan was $16,115,780, which includes interest capitalized to the loan principal under the payment-in-kind interest terms of the loan. The fair value of the loan approximates its carrying amount given its recent issuance and floating interest rate. The bridge loan is classified as a current liability as it is contractually due within 12 months of the reporting date.
a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. Refer to note 1(b) for more information regarding the Company’s liquidity risk.
b) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash, restricted cash, receivables due from Wergeland Eiendom AS and value added tax receivables. To reduce credit risk, substantially all cash is on deposit at major banks. Restricted cash consists of reclamation bonds held by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") in California, cash pledged as collateral in support of reclamation bonding requirements associated with the Springer Project in Nevada, financial assurance deposits associated with closure obligations in Norway, and cash held in a restricted account by FeFo, the land management authority in Norway. As at September 30, 2026, restricted cash totalled approximately $9,879,161, including reclamation bonds valued at approximately $94,556 held by the BLM, cash pledged as collateral supporting the Springer reclamation bond of approximately $6,834,035, financial assurance deposits associated with the Nussir Project of approximately $2,777,162, and $173,408 held by FeFo (December 31, 2025: restricted cash consisted of bonds valued at $91,341 held by the BLM and cash held in a restricted account valued at $152,125 held by FeFo). The Company’s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of its cash, restricted cash, advance to suppliers, receivables due from Wergeland Eiendom AS and sales tax recoverable. Accordingly, the Company considers its exposure to credit risk minimal.
c) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.
Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances which are not subject to significant risks in fluctuating interest rates. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in high-rate savings or investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
(unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
At September 30, 2026, the Company held interest-bearing cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $99,455,426 (December 31, 2025: $92,963,414). A 1% increase or decrease in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would increase or decrease the Company’s net loss by approximately $994,554 (December 31, 2025: $929,634). This is based on the Company’s interest-bearing balances at the reporting date. Restricted cash balances that do not earn interest have been excluded from this analysis.
The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk through its variable-rate bridge loan. The bridge loan bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of Adjusted Term SOFR plus 8.0% and 11.0% per annum. At September 30, 2026, the carrying amount of the bridge loan was $16,115,780 (December 31, 2025: $15,066,071). A 1% increase or decrease in the applicable interest rate, with all other variables held constant, would increase or decrease annualized interest expense and net loss by approximately $161,158 (December 31, 2025: $150,661).
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and capital expenditures that are denominated in US dollars and Norwegian Kroner.
The foreign currency translation differences recognized in other comprehensive income primarily relate to the translation of the Company’s foreign operations, including USD and NOK functional subsidiaries. The foreign exchange presented in the Company’s net loss primarily related to the revaluation of foreign currency denominated cash and cash equivalents held during the period, as well as the translation of the US$ denominated short-term bridge loan held in a NOK functional subsidiary.
Sensitivity Analysis
The Company operates through subsidiaries in the United States and Norway and is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company’s principal exposure relates to balances denominated in US dollar, and Norwegian Krone relative to the Canadian dollar.
The following table illustrates the estimated impact on loss and comprehensive loss before income taxes of a 10% change in the CAD exchange rate against the USD, and NOK, based on the Company’s monetary financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies as at September 30, 2026.

Market Price risk
i. Equity price risk

US hub and spoke business model and other acquisitions
On February 10, 2026, the Company closed the previously announced acquisition of the Springer Property in Pershing County, Nevada from GOODS LG LLC (“GOODS”) for US$18,500,000 as well as a 2.0% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty, half of which royalty was repurchased by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2026, alongside rights of first refusal (“ROFR”) for the remaining royalty.
The Springer complex is expected to be developed into a hub for processing critical minerals. The Company is also planning to acquire and develop smaller, high grade underground critical metals mines in the western US, with the intention to send the mineralized material from Blue Moon and other mines so acquired to the Springer hub for processing. This dovetails with federal initiatives in the USA under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act to promote domestic production of critical metals and decrease dependence on foreign supply chains.
On March 13, 2026, the Company closed the acquisition of the Apex mine in Washington County in southern Utah from a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) for 7,031,959 common shares of the Company, a 0.5% NSR royalty and marketing rights on the property, a life of mine offtake on the Blue Moon mine’s zinc concentrate, and equity participation rights and top-up rights and information rights in an investor rights agreement. The Company also assumed an existing capped 3.0% NSR royalty obligation on the Apex claims. Apex is a historical germanium, gallium and copper underground mine with 24 patented claims located in southwestern Utah, had been a primary producer of gallium and germanium in 1980s to 1990s and is in one of the most important germanium and gallium districts. On April 1, 2026, the Company consolidated its position in this district with the acquisition of the Gage project from a subsidiary of Liberty Gold Corp for 420,935 common shares of the Company and a 2.0% NSR royalty on certain concessions. The Gage project consists of 181 unpatented mining claims located on Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) lands and two Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (“SITLA”) leases surrounding the Apex mine, for a total area of 5,916 hectares. The Company also assumed a 4.0% NSR royalty in respect of the SITLA leases (8.0% for fissionable materials).
On May 15, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of certain claims adjacent to the Springer Property for consideration of 188,199 common shares of the Company, US$1 million in cash and a sliding scale gross revenue royalty (“GRR”). The claims included some historically identified veins including the Stank deposit, the O’Byrne deposits and a portion of the Sutton deposit.
On September 3, 2026, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a land package and its associated water rights for consideration of US$3.5 million in cash and US$4.5 million in common shares. The property is near the Springer Property with access to a major highway and has proximity to a rail line. The transaction is expected to close early 2027 when the water rights are transferred and will provide the Springer Project with a strategic logistics hub and additional access to water.
On September 14, 2026, the Company announced a series of strategic transactions with The Elmet Group Co. ("Elmet” or “TEG”) and EQ Resources Limited ("EQ") in relation to the Springer Tungsten Complex. The proposed transactions contemplate a US$150-$175 million investment to support the advancement of the Springer Tungsten Complex, including the formation of a joint venture to own and operate the ammonium paratungstate ("APT") plant, equity investments in Blue Moon and the Springer Site, and related site-sharing arrangements. TEG and EQ are expected to invest approximately US$150 million, including investments in Blue Moon and the Springer Site and a contribution to the joint venture entity, with an additional US$25 million available for potential restart and contingency requirements related to the APT plant. In connection with the strategic partnership, TEG also granted the Company warrants to acquire 1,166,970 common shares of TEG with an exercise price equal to US$21.423 per warrant share with an aggregate exercise price of US$25.0 million. Completion of the joint venture arrangements, project funding initiatives and related commercial agreements remain subject to customary due diligence, regulatory approvals and execution of definitive agreements.
On September 23, 2026, the Company announced the proposed acquisition of the Turner Copper-Gold Project (the "Turner Project") located in Oregon, USA. The Turner Project is a past-producing volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) deposit with a historical mineral endowment and is considered prospective for additional exploration and development. Consideration for the acquisition consists of 4,778,761 common shares of the Company, a cash payment of US$4.7 million, as well as milestone payments linked to permitting, development and commercial production. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. The proposed acquisition is intended to support the Company's strategy of developing future feed sources for its hub-and-spoke business model.

Mineral Properties
Nussir Project (Finnmark, Norway)
The Nussir Property is a polymetallic deposit which contains copper, silver and gold located in Finnmark County in northern Norway. It is an underground development project that benefits from existing critical infrastructure located next to the property (access, power and port).
On March 6, 2025, the Company acquired all of the shares of REAS, from Wergeland Eigedom AS (“WG”). The acquisition includes critical infrastructure adjacent to the Nussir Project, notably the Øyen Industrial Land, a deep-water port facility with ship-loading and conveyor systems, a fully permitted and operating aggregate mine and buildings suitable for housing, administration and processing. This site is permitted and zoned for mining and processing activities and includes a large process plant building capable of supporting a 6,000 tpd flotation plant, along with access to low-cost industrial power. Under the agreement, WG retains sublease rights for aggregates production and has committed to purchasing waste rock from Nussir.
On June 4, 2025, the European Union Commission designated the Nussir Project, as well as twelve other projects outside of the EU, as a Strategic Critical Raw Material Project under the provisions of the 2023 EU Critical Raw Materials Act, the first project located in Norway to receive this designation, and the only primary copper project to receive this designation. This designation may benefit the project through coordinated support by the EU Commission, better access to public and private financing through various funding programs, and political support for the advancement of the project.
Leonhard Nilsen & Sønner AS (“LNS”) commenced underground construction in June 2025 with the mine access portal. The 1,600m long decline was designed provide access to start construction of the exploration decline and provides a platform for further underground exploration.
Following the release of the 2026 Feasibility Study and the announcement of its equity financing in May 2026, the Board announced a final investment decision had been made for the Company to commence construction of the Nussir Project.
2026 Feasibility Study
As discussed in the 2026 Highlights, on April 16, 2026, the Company announced the results of an updated FS for Nussir, which is summarized in the 2026 Technical Report filed on April 20, 2026, details of which are found on www.sedarplus.ca as well as on the Company’s website at www.bluemoonmetals.com.

EPC Contract Award
On June 24, 2026, the Company announced the award of an engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contract for the civil, structural, mechanical and piping of the Nussir project’s processing plant to MOMEK Services AS, a company within the MOMEK Group, which is a leading Norwegian industrial group which providing engineering, construction, mechanical installation and fabrication services across the mining industry, and other strategic infrastructure sectors. This is consistent with the Company’s commitment to support the Norwegian economy and suppliers wherever possible.
Operating Plan, Mine Waste Management Plan and Discharge Permit
In Q2-2026 the Norwegian Environment Agency approved the Mine Waste Management Plan for the Nussir project, which included a public comment period, and issued an Amendment to the Discharge Permit (originally granted January 15, 2016, previously amended November 30, 2021) incorporating the latest Mine Waste Management Plan. The approval satisfied the last outstanding regulatory condition precedent to the commencement of mine operations of the Nussir mine.
The Project holds all material permits for construction and operation, including an Extraction Permit under the Minerals Act, an approved Zoning Plan under the Planning and Building Act, a Discharge Permit under the Pollution Control Act, and an Operating License under the Minerals Act, the updated operating plan of which was approved by the Norwegian Directorate of Mines on June 18, 2026. The operating plan provides the technical details for operation and closure of the mine.
Construction progress
In early June, underground development at Nussir exceeded the 2,000 m mark (over 1,000 m since January 2026). Additionally, the conveyor tunnel linking the decline to the orebody and the silo tunnel to feed the mill was completed, allowing the start of the construction of the ore conveyor system between the orebody and the silo.

2026 Drilling Program
The mineralization of Nussir to the west is open at depth and along strike. The 2026 drilling program consists of deep navigational drilling in the west, targeting 1.2 km deep high-grade intercepts and is intended to extend the existing known deep mineralization, as well as shallow infill drilling from surface in the east.
Navigational drilling
The deep drilling program, planned at 4,000 metres, aided by Devico’s navigational drilling techniques, is centered around the historical high-grade intercept hole NUS-DD-14-001 (9.7 metres at 1.22% CuEq). The 6 targets, each designed to bridge the 650-metre gap between this known high-grade intercept and the current MRE, follow up on the exploration target outlined in the 2023 Technical Report. Note that the potential quantity and grade of this exploration target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
Of the three daughter holes from the first mother hole, two resulted in successful intercepts whilst one hole was abandoned due to technical difficulties prior to the anticipated mineralized zone. The recently completed NUS-DD-26-07, itself yielding an intercept of 6.85 metres of mineralization from the target horizon, will act as a mother hole for the next two targets.
Highlights of the drilling results are as follows:
- Bornite-chalcopyrite mineralization in siltstone host at 922.7 metres;
- The intersection is encouraging for continuation and the thickness of mineralization between the deeper intersections from April’s news release and the existing resource as defined in the 2025 MRE.
Infill drilling
Infill drilling from the surface is ongoing and, together with the navigational drilling, is expected to provide extensive structural data for the Nussir deposit, targeting a thinner, copper-rich horizon approximately 80 metres above the main mineralized body, which extends about 10 kilometres along strike. This was planned to include approximately 3,000 metres of surface drilling with nominal drill spacing about 75 by 75 metres.
On August 10, 2026, the Company announced new drilling results of its surface infill program at Nussir as well as drilling results from the deep exploration drilling program additional to those announced in the April 15, 2026 news release. See August 10, 2026 news release for more information.
Highlights of the drilling results are as follows:
- 12 surface infill holes totalling 2,628.6 metres with starting depths ranging from 146.8 metres to 459.8 metres, using HQ diamond drill (“DD”);
- Strike length of over 700 metres of the current Indicated Resource are nearest to the initial planned production areas, intended to confirm the mineralization continuity in areas with previously sparse intersections and with structural complexity;
- NUS-DD-26-08 intersected 0.6 metres at 0.69 g/t Pt and 0.42 g/t Pd, providing insight to previous showings of palladium and platinum previously seen in hole NUS-DD-14-001; and
- Based on these findings, the MRE will be updated, leading to more optimized mine design.

Blue Moon Project (California, USA)
The Blue Moon Project is a volcanogenic massive sulfide (“VMS”) deposit which contains zinc, gold, silver, copper and lead. The property is well located with existing local infrastructure including paved highways three miles from site; a hydroelectric power generation facility a few miles from the site, a three-hour drive to the Oakland port and a five-hour drive to the industrial service centre of Reno. Zinc and copper are currently on the USGS list of metals critical to the US economy and national security.
On April 15, 2025, the Company announced that it received approval by BLM to construct a portal and exploration decline to enable underground mineral exploration activities at the Blue Moon Project. This is an important permitting milestone for the development of the Blue Moon Project, as the initial portal and decline will provide access for infill and exploration drilling, allow for examination of geology, rock mechanics, hydrogeologic characteristics, underground mining conditions, and can also be utilized as the main haulage route once the mine moves into production.
On October 10, 2024, the Company initiated a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) on the Blue Moon Project led by Micon International Ltd (“Micon”) and Resource Development Associates, Inc (“RDA”).
In connection with the PEA, the Company announced an updated MRE for the project, which is contained in the technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report For the Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Blue Moon Mine, Mariposa County, California”, dated April 14, 2025 (as amended and restated on September 12, 2025) with an effective date of March 3, 2025 and with an effective date of Mineral Resource Estimate of December 24, 2024, prepared by Scott Wilson, C.P.G. SME-RM, Peter Szkilnyk, P. Eng., Alan J. San Martin, P. Eng., Richard Gowans, P.Eng., Justin Taylor, P.Eng., and Christopher Jacobs, C. Eng., MIMMM.
The MRE is available on the Company’s website and is based on 87 drill holes totaling 122,364 feet of drilling with 2,631 individual assay intervals. The estimate outlined the following resources:

In June 2025, the Company awarded to Small Mine Development, LLC (“SMD”) a contract for the construction of an exploration portal and decline. This will enable underground exploration activities at the Blue Mine Project, providing access for infill and exploration drilling, as well as for further studies and investigations related to geology, rock mechanics, hydrogeology, underground mining conditions and metallurgical test work, leading to a final investment decision on the mine.
Construction of the portal and the underground exploration decline commenced. Exploration drilling activities commenced from the underground alongside the advance of the decline, allowing the Company to accelerate the collection of geological, geotechnical and metallurgical data in parallel with ongoing decline development.
The Company is committed to supporting the economic and social development of the local and regional communities and the initial construction work is expected to generate at least 20 local employment opportunities directly with the mine and indirectly through SMD and its subcontractors.
A 16,000-metre infill drilling program was undertaken at a nominal spacing of approximately 50 metres by 50 metres. This was designed to support the potential conversion of portions of the current inferred mineral resources to the indicated category. Diamond drilling has commenced from the underground exploration decline, with approximately 8,000 metres to be completed from three underground drill stations targeting the central and upper portions of the VMS deposit. The remaining approximately 8,000 metres of drilling is planned from surface locations, targeting the deeper portions of the currently defined mineral resource. Select drill holes will be completed with downhole geophysical surveys, including electromagnetic methods, to assist in identifying additional mineralization and generating new exploration targets, particularly to the northwest and along up-dip and down-dip extensions.

| Blue Moon Metals Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 |
Historical drilling has returned encouraging polymetallic intercepts within the VMS system, such as drillhole CH-09 which intersected 14.40 metres @ 4.97% Zn, 0.25% Cu, 4.5 g/t Au and 26.66 g/t Ag totaling 18.46% ZnEq from 371.20 metres and a second higher-grade interval of 10.88 metres @ 5.55% Zn, 0.32% Cu, 4.81 g/t Au and 261.3 g/t Ag totaling 27.92% ZnEq1,2 from 390.30 metres. These intercepts occur within the northwestern part of the mineralized system and demonstrate both grade continuity and local high-grade enrichment. The Company considers these zones to be priority areas for follow-up drilling, with clear potential to infill and expand mineralization to the northwest and along interpreted up-dip and down-dip extensions of the deposit.
In January 2026, Blue Moon acquired the mineral rights to the West Property, located to the west of the portal, and the rights to drill from surface. The Company expects to drill 8,000 metres from surface from the NW area to expand the high-grade resources to the NW.
The Company is currently undertaking a systematic re-logging and re-sampling program of the historical drill core, including previously unsampled mineralized intersections. The program is designed to validate the historical dataset, support an updated mineral resource estimate incorporating new assay data from this year’s drill program, and refine the geological and structural interpretation of the mineralized system.
Sulitjelma Property (Nordland County, Norway)
On February 26, 2025, the Company acquired the Sulitjelma project, a polymetallic deposit which contains copper and zinc located in northern Norway. Sulitjelma previously hosted Norway’s largest mining operation with historical production between 1891 and 1991 of 26 million tonnes of 1.80% Cu with additional zinc, sulphur, gold and silver credits.
On April 10, 2025, the Company announced its maiden MRE for the Sulitjelma VMS deposit. This was summarized in an NI 43-101 technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report On The Mineral Resources Of The Sulitjelma Project, Norway”, dated February 20, 2025 (as amended and restated on September 12, 2025) with an effective date of May 20, 2025, prepared by Adam Wheeler, B.Sc., M.Sc., C.Eng., Eur Ing., FIMMM.

| Blue Moon Metals Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 |
Blue Moon initially focused on the Rupsi and Dypet deposits where the Company received Norwegian Government approval in Q1 2025 to extend an existing historical mine tunnel into the deposit by up to 1 km. The tunnel extension and the completion of 10,000 m of underground drilling were part of the recommendations in the technical report, with a budget of 46.2 MNOK (approximately US$4.5M), which would allow the Company to upgrade the resource from the inferred category to the indicated category, expand on the current resource, and gather geotechnical and metallurgical data.
In July 2025, the Company received the environmental permit from the Norwegian Environmental Agency required to start its planned activities in the Rupsi tunnel and awarded a contract to Fauskebygg AS (“Fauskebygg”), a local construction company in the Fauske municipality, for the extension.
A 10,000 metre drilling program was planned, focusing on infill and expansion of the inferred resource. The program commenced with the extension of the existing Rupsi tunnel, with the first approximately 150 metres of development providing access to two underground drill stations.
In April 2026, the Fauskebygg extension contract was terminated as part of a broader review of ongoing project evaluation activities. In June 2026, the Company entered into a binding share purchase agreement with Alpha Future Funds S.C.S. (“AFF”) to combine its Sulitjelma Project with adjacent district assets held through VMS Explorations AS, which holds exploration permits in the Sulitjelma district and the combination is expected to support an integrated development approach to advance the projects.
Springer mine and mill (Nevada, USA)
In February 2026, the Company closed the previously announced acquisition of the Springer mine and mill from GOODS LG LLC for US$18.5 million and a 2.0% NSR royalty in favour of the seller. The Springer complex is located in Pershing County, Nevada and consists of approximately 3,000 hectares of mineral claims and fee lands. The historical mineral resource and existing process plant are located entirely on private fee lands. The historical mineral resource (1)(2)(3) on the Property is:
Historical estimate of indicated resources of 355,000 tons @ 0.537% WO3
Historical estimate of inferred resources of 1,933,600 tons @ 0.493% WO3
Notes:
- A qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. In order to verify the historical estimate, the Company needs to engage a qualified person to review the historical data, review any work completed on the property since the date of the estimate and complete a new technical report. The Company views this historical data as an indicator of the potential size and grade of the mineralized deposits, and this data is relevant to Company’s future plans with respect to the property.
- Resource classification was performed according to CIM guidelines for indicated and inferred resources at the time and are based on drill spacing and density; the estimate was presented at 0.20 WO3% cutoff grade based on approximate mining cost of US$40/ton, processing cost of US$13.50/ton, administration cost of US$7/ton, mill recovery of 82% and a WO3 price of US$11.50/lb. Rounding may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grades and metal content; not considered material.
- The effective date of this estimate is August 20, 2012, and is contained in the “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Springer Tungsten Mine, Pershing County, Nevada, USA” dated December 31, 2013 and prepared by Keith McCandlish of DMT Geosciences Ltd.
The Company purchased the site in February 2026 to provide processing capacity to support the development of the Blue Moon Mine and to establish a regional processing hub. Sitting on a large land package, Blue Moon is also exploring the mining of the Springer tungsten deposits and believes there is significant room to expand the mill layout and add additional buildings to process multiple ore types and improve economies of scale to unlock and maximize the value of resources that would otherwise not support stand-alone processing facilities. Located only a few miles from both Interstate 80 and the Union Pacific rail line, the Springer complex is well connected to the transportation and logistics infrastructure to integrate with other operations, including Teck’s Trail Operations.

| Blue Moon Metals Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 |
On April 28, 2026, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire certain claims adjacent to the Springer Property for consideration of 188,199 common shares of the Company, US$1 million in cash and a sliding scale gross revenue royalty (“GRR”) of between 3% and 5%. The claims included some historically identified veins including the Stank deposit, the O’Byrne deposits and a portion of the Sutton deposit. The Company has the option to buy down the GRR to 1.5% for US$2 million.
The mine infrastructure includes an APT circuit including autoclave and related reagent systems. The mill can be readily refurbished to process tungsten ores into tungsten concentrates. It also includes a vertical shaft developed down to 1,600 feet, a headframe and 3 compartment hoist and associated equipment, a process plant with approximately 1,200 tpd capacity to produce concentrates and/or APT, electrical infrastructure including main substation, transformers etc., tailings storage facilities and water rights.
The Springer Project was the site of continuous underground tungsten mining between 1918 and 1958, much of that time controlled first by the Segerstrom family, and later by the Nevada-Massachusetts Mining Company. The General Electric Company ("GE") acquired the property in the 1970's, interested in securing long term tungsten supply assets to support its lighting and industrial tools businesses. The current mine and mill were constructed by Utah International Inc. (later became BHP Minerals Group) for GE in the mid 1970's, and was subsequently commissioned and operated by GE for 8 months in 1982. The property has not been actively mined since October 1982, and the underground workings are currently flooded to a depth of approximately 375 feet. EMC Metals Corp. acquired the Springer mine and associated properties from GE in 2006. Between that purchase date and today, considerable refurbishment and renewal have been undertaken to the mill, control systems, hoist house, and an up-rating of the mill throughput from a nominal 950 tpd to a current 1,350 tpd capacity, and an estimated 1,200 tpd throughput after availabilities (89%).
Centrally located with access to diverse mineral sources and existing road and rail infrastructure, the Springer Mine and Mill is well situated to become a regional metallurgical complex. With established tailings and water management systems, the brownfield site provides significant opportunities to reduce capital and permitting timelines compared to a greenfield development.
The 2026 work plan is designed to systematically advance through a combination of near-surface definition drilling, deep exploration drilling, and comprehensive validation of historical datasets.
This will include:
- a 67,000 metre initial two-phase drill program to commence in August 2026 utilizing 6 diamond drill rigs;
- 18,000 metres of historical core to be re-logged and re-assayed with NI 43-101 compliant QA/QC;
- volume and grade estimation of the historical stockpiles located on-site;
- augur sampling of historical tailings produced between 1918 and 1982;
- LiDAR and drone scanning of significant locations within the property;
- site-wide aerial photogrammetry;
- radiometric and magnetic geophysics of regional and near-mine targets; and
- updates to metallurgical and ore sorting test work.
2026 Drilling Program
A Limited Notice to Proceed has been signed with Geotech Drilling Services Ltd, with work expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2027. Phase 1 consists of about 7,000 metres of diamond drilling, with planned hole depths ranging from 200 to 300 metres. This is targeting known mineralized zones above the water table, focusing on the shallow northwestern portion of the deposit at the George Pit area and southeastern portions of the deposit located on private land at the Sutton Underground beds and is intended to support the near-term mine planning for the George Pit and Sutton Underground Mine, while also refining exploration targets for the subsequent drill campaign.
Phase 2 is planned to comprise approximately 60,000 metres of diamond drilling, with hole depths ranging from 300 to 1,000 metres, designed to target mineralization below the water table and test both the lateral and down-plunge extensions of the known high-grade scheelite-rich beds. The Company intends to complete all drilling on private land before expanding the program onto unpatented lode claims administered by the BLM.

Re-logging Program
The Company has access to approximately 18,000 metres of historical diamond drill core available for re-logging. This comprises the SU (underground drillholes) and NM (surface drillholes) drill campaigns completed by GE during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Historical cores are being re-logged as part of the Company’s ongoing validation and geological reinterpretation program. Historical sampling covered only approximately 5% of the available core and was limited only to tungsten assays despite pXRF confirmation of copper, molybdenum and silver mineralization, with no documented QA/QC procedures. Samples are being analyzed by ALS Geochemistry in Reno, Nevada, using analytical packages that include fire assay for gold, a 48-element multi-element suite, and XRF analysis for WO₃. Comprehensive QA/QC protocols have been implemented in accordance with CIM Best Practice Guidelines, providing a robust dataset to support future exploration targeting and resource evaluation.
Further work is planned, including detailed geophysical and geochemical surveys, geological mapping, and targeted exploration drilling, aimed at delineating the distribution, intensity, and continuity of the sheeted quartz vein systems within the granodioritic intrusions.
On September 22, 2026, and again on October 6, 2026, the Company announced results from its ongoing 18,000 m relogging campaign at the Springer Project. As at October 6, 2026 approximately 77% of the 18,000 metres of historical core has been relogged. Some of the best results include:
- Surface drillhole NM-30 returned a 0.3-metre sample grading 7.82% WO₃ from 183.5m, representing the second-highest assay in drill core on the property and the highest-grade assay identified to date in the East Sutton Beds;
- Surface drillhole NM-13 confirmed a 7.00 m interval grading 1.28% WO₃ and 0.01% Mo from 160 m;
- Surface drillhole NM-44 confirmed a 24.25 m (13.72 m true width) interval grading 0.22% WO₃ and 0.03% Mo from 249 m, including 9.55 m (5.40 m true width) grading 0.53% WO₃ and 0.12% Mo; and
- Underground drillhole SU-27 confirmed an 8.24 m (6.34 m true width) interval grading 0.64% WO₃ and 0.01% Mo from 59 m, including 3.09 m grading 1.19% WO₃ and 0.02% Mo.
Historical stockpiles
The Company has identified a number of historical surface stockpiles that represent potential sources of mill feed from previous underground and open pit mining operations. Historical stockpile maps, including assigned grades, are being verified through a systematic sampling program to confirm grade distribution and material characteristics. In parallel, a LiDAR survey is being completed to generate accurate volume estimates for each stockpile, providing the basis for estimating tonnage and evaluating their potential contribution to future processing operations.
Tailings sampling
The Company has planned an auger sampling campaign on a 30 m x 30 m grid spacing to evaluate the potential for reprocessing historical mine tailings. The tailings impoundment covers an area of approximately 1.94 km². The systematic sampling program is designed to improve confidence in both grade distribution and material characteristics, and to update historical volume and grade estimates last completed in the early 1980s.
Geophysics and hyperspectral satellite imagery
Pioneer Exploration was commissioned to complete a large-scale airborne radiometric and magnetic geophysical survey of the Springer property and surrounding area. A total of approximately 159 km² in the immediate area surrounding the deposit will be surveyed using a 50 m line spacing to support detailed target delineation and deposit-scale interpretation. In addition, a further 408 km² will be surveyed at a wider 100 m line spacing to support regional-scale exploration and to identify new targets within the broader project area.
In parallel, the Company is in the process of acquiring hyperspectral satellite imagery covering the same regional area as the airborne survey. The hyperspectral data will be used to map hydrothermal alteration minerals and define potential alteration halos associated with the Springer mineralizing system and other prospective intrusion-related mineral systems across the property. The integration of hyperspectral mineral mapping with the airborne geophysical datasets is expected to enhance exploration targeting and improve the identification of concealed mineralized systems.

Further aerial services – photogrammetry, LiDAR and drone scanning
The Company engaged Unmanned Aerial Services (UAS) to complete a comprehensive aerial surveying and digital mapping program across the project, designed to generate high-resolution datasets to support exploration, engineering, mine planning, and infrastructure assessments.
The scope of work includes high-resolution photogrammetry of the site, comprising 17 flight lines and 518 images acquired by Keystone Aerial in late June. Additional surveys include LiDAR mapping of the historical surface stopes and open pits using an M300 drone equipped with an Emesent ST-X scanner, as well as LiDAR surveys and volume estimations of the historical surface stockpiles.
The program also includes detailed three-dimensional scanning of the Sutton 3 headframe and shaft, an underground inspection and mapping flight of the Sutton portal using an Elios 3 drone, and a comprehensive interior scan of the processing mill.
Preliminary metallurgical and ore sorting testing
The Company initiated a preliminary metallurgical testing program with SGS Lakefield to evaluate the processing characteristics of material from the Sutton 3 stockpile. A total of 453 kg of representative material was collected and submitted for testing.
The program is designed to characterize the material and assess its response to conventional processing methods. Key deliverables include head characterization, incorporating whole-sample assays, size-by-assay analysis, and mineralogical characterization, together with basic grindability testing. Metallurgical test work will also include flotation optimization through rougher and cleaner flotation tests, culminating in a locked-cycle test to evaluate concentrate quality and expected metallurgical performance under continuous processing conditions.
The Company has also initiated a preliminary ore sorting test program to evaluate the potential for pre-concentrating mineralized material from the Sutton 3 stockpile. A total of 20.3 kg of representative material has been collected and submitted to for test work with an Australian group.
The program is designed to assess the suitability of ore sorting as a pre-concentration step, with the objective of reducing waste, increasing mill feed grade, and improving the overall processing efficiency of stockpiled material. Results from the preliminary testing will be used to evaluate the potential application of ore sorting as part of the Company’s future processing strategy at Springer. Ore sorting test work has never been performed on Springer ores but is commonly used in the tungsten industry.
See the press release dated June 29, 2026 for maps and further information.
Permitting for Springer
On August 20, 2026, the Company announced that the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”), through its Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation, has transferred the Water Pollution Control Permit (“WPCP”) and the Reclamation permit for Springer into the Company’s name, and that the Project’s reclamation closure bond was approved and posted. The WPCP and the Reclamation Permit are the principal state environmental authorizations for mine development in Nevada, governing the construction, operation, and closure of a mine’s facilities. With the WPCP, Reclamation Permit and reclamation bond in place, the Company is authorized to commence construction activities at Springer, including refurbishment of the existing mill and activities authorized under those permits.
On September 22, 2026, the Company announced that it has received approval from the BLM for the submitted Exploration Notice to perform selected works on public land. Five acres of disturbance is included in the notice, including drilling and drill roads in the southwest quadrant of the near mine area, access to private land in the northwest quadrant, and auger tailings sampling to the southeast of the main gate.
Apex Project (Utah, USA)
In March 2026, the Company closed the previously announced acquisition of the Apex property from a subsidiary of Teck. The Apex mine is a historical underground mine in Utah, which was previously mined for copper oxide, and subsequently for germanium and gallium. This became the primary producer of gallium and germanium for the United States when Musto Explorations Ltd. brought it into production in the mid 1980s and again with Hecla Mining Company in the 1990s. During its peak year of operations, Apex produced 10,270 tons yielding 1,645 lb Ga, 5,634 lbs of Ge, and 224,800 lbs of Cu.

Hecla completed a feasibility study in 1989, reporting a reserve of 230,200 tons of 0.100% Ge, 0.046% Ga and 1.6% Cu. A historical reserve estimate1 by Ken Krahulec in 2018 estimated 1 MT @ 0.087% Ge, 0.033% Ga, 1.8% Cu and 41 g/t Ag. The Ge and Ga are 10-100x higher grade than most Ge and Ga deposits. Beyond the historical reserves, Hecla also identified several additional breccia bodies as prospective exploration targets, including the Paymaster, Cavern, and 500 North pipes, along with further oxide zones in the immediate mine area.
Notes:
- A qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves in accordance with NI 43-101 and Blue Moon is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. In order to verify the historical estimates, the Company needs to engage a qualified person to review the historical data, review any work completed on the property since and complete a new technical report. Blue Moon views this historical data as an indicator of the potential size and grade of the mineralized deposits, and this data is relevant to Company’s future plans with respect to the property.
Subject to renewed permits and with the intent to reopen the mine, the Company plans to fast track efforts to advance the technical studies, metallurgical testing, process flowsheets, permitting and community engagement to support a final investment decision. In parallel, Blue Moon is evaluating options for a new processing line at the Company’s Springer complex to process the Apex material and provide an integrated United States Ge and Ga value chain.
In April 2026, the Company consolidated the land around the Apex property by acquiring the Gage project located in Washington county, Utah, from a subsidiary of Liberty Gold Corp. The Gage project consisted of 181 unpatented mining claims located on Bureau of Land Management lands and two SITLA leases, for a total area of about 6,000 acres. 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.
On June 29, 2026 the Company announced results from assays at the Apex property. The initial sampling program represents the first results following the closing of the acquisition of Apex from a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited on March 13, 2026. A 100 kg sample was obtained from Apex and sent to the laboratory for analysis ahead of metallurgical testing. The sample was crushed and blended, with sample assay results returning 0.180% germanium, 0.0273% gallium and 1.96% copper2. With assay results in hand, Blue Moon will continue with its planned metallurgical program to determine its own flowsheet options and also explore near term commercialization options.
Notes:
2. The samples described above are samples collected from exposed mineralization at Apex. These samples are selective in nature and are not necessarily representative of the average grade or size of the mineralized zone. All samples were stored and shipped using industry best practices and were delivered to Blue Coast Research Ltd., an independent commercial laboratory out of British Columbia, for sample preparation and analyses using Peroxide Fusion.
Prices of germanium and gallium have seen material increases in recent months, with Fastmarkets estimating (as of June 26, 2026) spot prices for Rotterdam delivery of germanium and gallium metal of $10,500/kg Ge and $2,650/kg Ga. See Blue Moon’s press release from February 27, 2026 for disclosure on historical production and historical reserve estimates from Apex.
In parallel with site activities, Blue Moon is exploring the potential to sell direct shipping ore (“DSO”) from Apex. This possibility of selling DSO owes to the high-grade nature of the primary germanium-gallium mineralization mined historically at the Project, and the constrained germanium market ex-China. The Company has received unsolicited interest from several major users and producers of germanium and gallium products. Permitting activities are ongoing, targeting a Q2-2027 completion of mine permitting following the relevant government permitting processes. Discussions on contract mining have also begun, with the view of potentially starting DSO from Apex as soon as Q3-2027. At a mining rate of 125 tpd, Apex could potentially supply a significant portion of the domestic US germanium demand from one US supply source.

Turner Project (Oregon, USA)
On September 23, 2026, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement with Gold Coast Mining Inc. (“Gold Coast”) to acquire 100% of the Turner Copper-Gold (“Turner”) deposit located in O’Brien, Oregon. Turner is a past producing Cyprus-type, VMS deposit that is located approximately 40 miles southwest of Grants Pass, Oregon near the border with California. The deposit can be potentially exploited by underground mining methods, and the project is contained within three patented mining claims, which total approximately 60 acres. An additional 574 acres of contiguous private land is also part of this transaction, as well as 15 unpatented lode mining claims.
The deposit type and associated metals are similar the Company’s Blue Moon project located near Mariposa, California, which the Company is currently advancing through the development of a ramp with underground diamond drilling ongoing into the mineralization. The Company believes that material that is extracted from Turner and the Blue Moon project may allow for comingling, or at least, use a similar flotation mill to produce both copper and zinc concentrates with strong precious metals credits. Additional metallurgical and engineering-related studies are required to verify if comingling is possible before it can be integrated into any future engineering report. These studies will be initiated to develop a PEA that is expected to incorporate the Blue Moon project and Turner with a new 1,800 tpd mill at the Company’s Springer complex in Nevada.
The Company is targeting to complete these studies by the end of 2027. In the meantime, the Company will initiate permitting for exploration drilling and underground development at Turner, which is expected to take 12 to 18 months. It should be noted that the Company undertook a similar permitting methodology for the Blue Moon project in California. For Turner, it will be assumed that there is no processing of extracted material in Oregon.
Ropa Projects
On October 30, 2026, the Company and the counterparties mutually agreed to terminate the previously announced acquisition agreement relating to the Ropa Projects, a portfolio of 33 tungsten and antimony projects located in the United States. Accordingly, the transaction will not proceed and the parties were released from their respective obligations under the agreement. The Company retains no ownership, royalty or other economic interest in the Ropa Projects.

| Blue Moon Metals Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 |
General exploration expenses increased by $13,160,112 during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Exploration expenditures during the quarter reflected continued drilling, geological programs, engineering studies, permitting activities, site preparation and project advancement work across the Company's portfolio. Expenditures were primarily attributable to activities at the various projects. The increase compared to the prior year also reflects the addition of the Springer and Apex projects, which were not part of the Company's portfolio during the comparative period. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company made a final investment decision to proceed with development of the Nussir Project. As a result, expenditures that meet the criteria for capitalization under the Company's accounting policies are recorded within property, plant and equipment rather than recognized as exploration expense. Accordingly, exploration expenditures incurred during the quarter do not fully reflect the total level of activity underway at Nussir.
Filing and regulatory fees increased by $68,783 during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher stock exchange fees, increased regulatory compliance costs and expenses associated with the Company's Nasdaq listing completed in January 2026.
General administrative costs increased by $1,139,781 during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase reflects the expansion of the Company's corporate infrastructure, including information technology, insurance, office and administrative functions required to support a larger project portfolio and organizational growth.
Shareholder communication and travel increased by $479,653 during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting increased investor relations activities, corporate marketing initiatives, industry conferences, and project-related travel associated with the Company's growth and financing activities.
Depreciation increased by $639,233 during the three months ended September 30, 2026, primarily reflecting depreciation associated with assets acquired through the REAS acquisition, right-of-use assets, camp facilities and other operational and development infrastructure supporting the Company's projects.
Interest income increased by $369,425 during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher average cash balances resulting from the Company's equity financings completed during 2025 and 2026. Interest and accretion expense increased by $191,879 during the same period as a result of the Bridge Loan facility and the associated accretion of financing costs.
Other income decreased by $1,938,785 during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Other income in the current period included aggregate sales, land rental activities and gains on disposal of certain marketable securities. The comparative period included higher levels of income generated from non-core activities.
Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2026
Blue Moon incurred a net loss attributable to shareholders of $81,666,681 ($0.86 per common share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $16,791,721 ($0.40 per common share) for the same period in 2025. The increase in net loss primarily reflects the continued advancement of the Company's portfolio of development and exploration at its five projects in 2026 together with increased corporate, technical, financing and permitting activities required to support project advancement, whereas in the same period, the Company was focused mainly on Nussir and Blue Moon. The key factors contributing to the changes in the comparative figures are discussed below.
Employee benefits increased by $2,967,122 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase reflects the expansion of the Company's technical and corporate teams required to support the development of its growing portfolio of projects, particularly in the US. During the comparative period, the Company expanded its workforce on the Norwegian assets. Share-based compensation increased by $692,562 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily reflecting additional equity incentive grants issued during the year and the corresponding vesting expense recognized over the period.
Professional and consulting fees increased by $1,882,785 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase reflects higher legal, and advisory costs associated with the Company's expanded project portfolio, financing initiatives, permitting activities, due diligence work and the acquisitions of the Springer and Apex projects. During the comparative period, costs were lower as the Company had only recently completed the acquisition of its Norwegian assets and had not yet commenced many of the financing, acquisition and development initiatives undertaken in 2026.

| Blue Moon Metals Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 |
General exploration expenses increased by $57,619,629 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Exploration expenditures totalled $71.9 million and were primarily attributable to the Blue Moon Project ($38.0 million), Nussir Project ($23.1 million), Springer Project ($8.8 million), NSG Project ($1.6 million) and Apex Project ($0.4 million). Activities included engineering studies, drilling programs, geological work, permitting activities, site preparation, camp operations and advancement of technical studies across the Company's portfolio. The largest expenditure categories were development and site preparation costs of $38.8 million, prospecting and geology costs of $14.3 million, and personnel and camp-related costs of $11.2 million. The increase compared to the prior year primarily reflects the expenditures on the Nussir Project as the Company was completing its feasibility study report which was published in April 2026, continued advancement and technical studies across the Company's projects, and increased activity at the Springer and Apex projects during 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company made a final investment decision to proceed with development of the Nussir Project. As a result, qualifying development expenditures incurred subsequent to that decision are capitalized within property, plant and equipment rather than recognized as exploration expense. Accordingly, the exploration expense recognized during the period does not fully reflect the total level of development activity underway at Nussir.
Filing and regulatory fees increased by $450,156 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase reflects higher stock exchange fees associated with the Company's larger market capitalization, increased regulatory compliance requirements and costs associated with the Company's Nasdaq listing completed in January 2026.
General administrative costs increased by $2,277,120 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase reflects the continued growth of the Company's corporate infrastructure, including information technology systems, insurance, professional memberships, office administration, governance and other support functions required to manage a substantially larger and more geographically diversified organization.
Shareholder communication and travel increased by $961,333 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase reflects expanded investor relations activities, marketing initiatives, participation in industry conferences, and project-related travel as the Company continued to advance multiple projects and financing initiatives.
Depreciation increased by $734,363 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily reflecting depreciation associated with assets acquired through the REAS acquisition, right-of-use assets, camp facilities, vehicles and other fixed assets supporting activities at the Nussir and Blue Moon projects.
The Company recorded a foreign exchange gain of $1,346,364 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to a foreign exchange loss of $81,610 during the same period in 2025. The gain primarily reflects the revaluation of U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, restricted cash and debt, including the Bridge Loan, together with fluctuations in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar and Norwegian krone.
Interest income increased by $1,005,799 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher average cash balances resulting from the Company's equity financings completed during 2025 and 2026. Interest and accretion expense increased by $1,640,106 during the same period, primarily as a result of the Bridge Loan facility, associated financing costs and accretion recognized on financial liabilities.
Other income increased by $1,378,622 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting gains realized on the disposal of marketable securities together with aggregate sales and land rental activities within the Nussir industrial area.

A summary of the significant financings and other activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 is provided in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Operating activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company used $65.6 million in operating activities compared to $15.6 million during the same period in 2025. The increase primarily reflects the continued advancement of the Company's project portfolio, including higher exploration and development expenditures, increased employee and corporate costs associated with a larger organization. The principal components of operating cash flows are discussed in the Results of Operations section above.
Investing activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company used $84.7 million in investing activities compared to $15.6 million during the same period in 2025. Investing expenditures during 2026 primarily related to the acquisition of the Springer Project, the acquisition of additional mineral properties including Apex, and expenditures on property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditures increased significantly following the Company's final investment decision at Nussir and the commencement of development activities, resulting in substantial additions to assets under construction, infrastructure and other project-related capital assets.
Financing activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company generated net cash of $151.2 million from financing activities, compared to $29.5 million during the same period in 2025.
The primary source of financing during the period was the issuance of common shares, which generated net proceeds of approximately $153.3 million. These financings included the May 2026 bought deal public offering and concurrent private placement, which collectively raised approximately $148.4 million in net proceeds. In addition, the Company received proceeds from stock option exercises during the period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company paid approximately $2.3 million of interest associated with its Bridge Loan facility. The Company utilized the Bridge Loan as part of its broader project financing strategy to support development activities at Nussir while advancing the remaining components of the project financing package.
Equity placements
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had completed five equity financings within the previous 12-month period, raising aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $248.9 million and net proceeds of approximately $235.1 million. These financings substantially strengthened the Company's balance sheet and provided funding for project acquisitions, development activities, engineering, exploration programs, permitting initiatives and general corporate purposes.

LIQUIDITY OUTLOOK
During 2026, the Company continued to strengthen its liquidity position through a combination of equity financing and project financing initiatives. The Company raised more than $160 million in gross equity proceeds during the year, including strategic investments from existing financing partners, enabling the continued advancement of its projects. These funds supported engineering, underground development, drilling, permitting, project evaluation activities, procurement of long-lead items and general project advancement initiatives.
In addition to its equity financings, the Company maintains a project financing arrangement with Hartree and Oaktree. In August 2025, the Company executed a project financing package of up to US$140 million consisting of:
- a US$25 million Bridge Loan, of which the initial US$12.5 million tranche was drawn in September 2025;
- up to US$20 million in equity investments, of which US$5 million was completed in September 2025; and
- project financing comprising a US$50 million senior secured term loan and a US$70 million redeemable precious metals stream.
The Bridge Loan and initial equity investment provided capital to support engineering, underground development, procurement activities and other early works required to advance the Nussir Project. Availability of the remaining financing remains subject to customary due diligence, approvals and other closing conditions. Provisions for termination subject to a break fee of 2% of the project financing package.
The Bridge Loan is secured by the Blue Moon group and project assets. Blue Moon Metals Inc. provides a parent guarantee alongside guarantees from Keystone Mines Inc., Blue Moon Norway AS and Repparfjord Eiendom AS. Security includes a first-ranking charge over the Nussir Project and related assets, together with security over the Blue Moon Project and associated share pledges.
The Company intends to repay the Bridge Loan in full prior to the closing of the ACG Transaction. The repayment is expected to include the outstanding principal of approximately US$12.6 million, accrued interest, and a US$2.8 million breakage fee.
On September 14, 2026, the Company announced a strategic financing package associated with the Springer Project, including a strategic equity investment and tungsten concentrate prepayment arrangement. Together with existing cash balances and the previously announced project financing arrangements, management believes the Company remains well positioned to advance its development and exploration activities across its project portfolio.
To date, the Company's primary source of funding has been the issuance of common shares. As the Company's shares are publicly traded, access to capital is influenced by commodity prices, foreign exchange movements, investor sentiment and broader capital market conditions. The Company's Nasdaq listing completed in January 2026 expanded access to U.S. capital markets and broadened the Company's investor base. Should additional capital be required during periods of weaker market conditions, financing may result in shareholder dilution or may be available on less favourable terms.

| Blue Moon Metals Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 |
In addition to equity financings, the Company may continue to evaluate alternative sources of capital, including project debt, royalty financings, stream financings, strategic investments and monetization of marketable securities, with the objective of minimizing equity dilution while advancing its projects.
Loss and comprehensive loss
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in net loss and comprehensive loss compared to the comparative period primarily reflects the continued advancement of the Company's project portfolio.
General exploration expenditures totaled $71.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $14.3 million during the comparable period in 2025. The increase reflects activity at the Nussir and NSG projects following the acquisition of the Norwegian assets, increased exploration and technical study activities at the Blue Moon Project, and the addition of the Springer and Apex projects. Exploration expenditures in 2026 included engineering studies, drilling, geological programs, permitting activities, site preparation and development-related work across the Company's portfolio.
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company made a final investment decision to proceed with development of the Nussir Project. As a result, qualifying development expenditures incurred subsequent to that decision are capitalized to property, plant and equipment in accordance with the Company's accounting policies. Consequently, the exploration expenditures recognized in the statement of loss do not reflect all development expenditures incurred at Nussir during the period.
Cash and cash equivalents
Blue Moon raises capital, as required, to fund exploration, development and corporate activities. As a result, cash balances typically decrease during periods where significant expenditures are incurred and no financings are completed. The timing and magnitude of project expenditures, acquisitions and financing transactions have resulted in fluctuations in the Company's cash balances from period to period.
Between December 2024 and September 2026, the Company raised approximately $300 million in gross equity proceeds, significantly strengthening its financial position and supporting the advancement of the Blue Moon, Nussir, NSG, Springer and Apex projects. Together with its project financing initiatives, management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to continue advancing its key strategic objectives.

Historically, the Company's primary source of funding has been the issuance of common shares, with the level of exploration, development and corporate activity generally reflecting the availability of capital and prevailing market conditions. In addition to equity financing, the Company has enhanced its capital structure through project financing initiatives and may continue to evaluate alternative funding sources, including debt facilities, stream financings, royalty arrangements and strategic investments.

Contractual obligations AND CONTINGENCIES
As at September 30, 2026, the Company had total project contractual obligations and capital commitments of $96.5 million on an undiscounted basis, comprising of the following:
- Capital commitments of $68.7 million, primarily related to ongoing development activities at the Nussir, Springer and Blue Moon Projects
- Lease obligations of $8.3 million, primarily related to the REAS industrial land, office and vehicles leases; and
- Debt obligations of $19.5 million related to the Company’s Bridge Loan facility.
These commitments are expected to be settled in the normal course of operations and will be funded through existing cash balances, as well as future financing activities.
In addition to the contractual commitments outlined above, some of the Company’s mineral properties are subject to royalties, including NSR royalties.
Blue Moon Project
The Blue Moon Project is subject to:
- a 0.5% NSR royalty payable to Boliden AB on certain patented claims (Tracts 1-3), with total payments capped at $500,000; and
- a 3.0% NSR royalty on specific claims payable to the James W. Gann, Jr. Trust, with total payments capped at $200,000.
These royalties are payable upon the commencement of production from the applicable claims.
Nussir & Sulitjelma Projects
The Nussir Project is subject to a net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty of 0.75% payable to Finnmarkseiendommen, the state landowner in Finnmark, Norway. This comprises a statutory royalty and an additional 0.25% regional royalty applicable to projects in Finnmark. A similar statutory 0.50% NSR royalty applies to the Sulitjelma property.
Springer Property
The Springer Property includes the Springer mine and mill, as well as the WO Claims. The Springer mine was acquired subject to a 2.0% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty payable to the vendor on production from the property. Subsequent to September 30, 2026, the Company exercised its contractual right to acquire 1.0% of the NSR and reduced the royalty burden on the Springer mine to 1.0%. The Company also acquired a right of first refusal in respect of the remaining 1.0% NSR. The WO Claims are subject to a sliding-scale gross revenue royalty ("GRR") ranging from 3% to 5% on production from the concessions with an option to repurchase down to 1.5%.
| 26 |
| Blue Moon Metals Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 |
Apex Mine
The Apex mine and related mineral properties acquired by the Company, including the Apex property claims and additional Gage licenses, are subject to certain royalty arrangements. The Apex property claims are subject to (i) a 0.5% NSR royalty granted to Teck Resources Limited as part of the acquisition and (ii) an existing capped 3.0% NSR royalty on certain claims. The Gage licenses are subject to (i) a 2.0% NSR royalty on mineral production on claims not subject to SITLA leases, with an option for the Company to repurchase 1.0% of such royalty for a cash payment of US$2.0 million prior to commercial production, and (ii) a 4.0% royalty in respect of mineral production from claims subject to SITLA leases, and where the minerals are fissionable, the royalty increases to 8.0%.
Contingencies
As at September 30, 2026, the Company is not aware of any material environmental liabilities associated with its mining projects, including Blue Moon and Nussir, other than as described below.
The Company has recognized a provision related to reclamation obligations associated with aggregate extraction activities undertaken by a third party at the REAS industrial site. The provision reflects the Company’s obligation in connection with these activities and is measured based on extraction actvitiy during the year. A corresponding restricted cash balance has been established in connection with these obligations.
Management is not aware of any other material environmental or contingent liabilities that could have a significant impact on the finacial position or performance of the Company.
Financial Instrument Risk
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company has exposure to liquidity and credit risks from the use of financial instruments. Financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, receivables, due to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this MD&A for additional information regarding the Company's liquidity position.
Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk on its bank accounts, restricted cash and receivables. To reduce credit risk, substantially all cash is on deposit at Canadian chartered banks or equivalent banks in Norway and the United States. Restricted cash consists of deposits held by the BLM in California, and FEFO, the land management authority in Norway. Receivables mainly consist of value-added tax receivables and other amounts due from government agencies. Accordingly, the Company considers its exposure to credit risk to be minimal.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.
Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances which are not subject to significant risks in fluctuating interest rates. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions or equivalent instruments. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. An increase to interest rates by 1% would have an insignificant effect on the Company’s operations.
At September 30, 2026 the Company held interest-bearing cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $99,455,426 (December 31, 2025: $92,963,414). A 1% increase or decrease in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would decrease or increase the Company’s net loss by approximately $994,554 (2025: $929,634). This is based on the Company’s interest-bearing balances at the reporting date. Restricted cash balances that do not earn interest have been excluded from this analysis.
| 27 |
| Blue Moon Metals Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 |
The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk through its variable-rate bridge loan. The bridge loan bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of Adjusted Term SOFR plus 8.0% and 11.0% per annum. At September 30, 2026, the carrying amount of the bridge loan was $16,115,780 (December 31, 2025: $15,066,071). A 1% increase or decrease in the applicable interest rate, with all other variables held constant, would increase or decrease annualized interest expense and net loss by approximately $161,158 (December 31, 2025: $150,661).
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and capital expenditures that are denominated in US dollars and Norwegian kroner.
The foreign currency translation differences recognized in other comprehensive income primarily relate to the translation of the Company’s foreign operations, including USD and NOK functional subsidiaries. The foreign exchange presented in the Company’s net loss primarily related to the revaluation of foreign currency denominated cash and cash equivalents held during the period, as well as the translation of the US$ denominated short-term bridge loan held in a NOK functional subsidiary.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company operates through subsidiaries in the United States and Norway and is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company’s principal exposure relates to balances denominated in US dollar and Norwegian krone relative to the Canadian dollar.
The following table illustrates the estimated impact on loss and comprehensive loss before income taxes of a 10% change in the CAD exchange rate against the USD and NOK, based on the Company’s monetary financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies as at September 30, 2026.

Market price risk
i. Equity price risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk through fluctuations in the market price of its own common shares and its holding of equity securities. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings, or ability to obtain equity financing, due to movements in individual equity prices or broader stock market movements.
In addition, the Company holds equity instruments which are held as marketable securities and are subject to equity price risk. The market price or value of these investments can vary from period to period. A 10% fluctuation in the quoted market price of marketable securities would have a minimal impact on the Company’s loss and comprehensive loss.
ii. Commodity price risk
Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatility. The Company closely monitors commodity prices across, base metals, precious metals and critical metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Forward-looking Statements
This Management Discussion and Analysis contains certain forward-looking statements concerning anticipated developments in the Corporation’s operations in future periods. Statements that are not historical fact are forward looking information as that term is defined in NI 51-102 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. Certain forward looking information should also be considered future-oriented financial information (“FOFI”) as that term is defined in NI 51-102. The purpose of disclosing FOFI is to provide a general overview of management’s expectations regarding the anticipated results of operations and capital expenditures. Forward-looking statements and information (referred to herein together as “forward-looking statements”) are frequently, but not always, identified by words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “potential”, “possible” and similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions or results “will”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur or be achieved. The material factors or assumptions used to develop forward-looking statements include prevailing and projected market prices and foreign exchange rates, exploitation and exploration estimates and results, continued availability of capital and financing, the certainty that the conditions precedent to drawdown of project financing is achieved, and general economic, market or business conditions and as more specifically disclosed throughout this document. Statements related to the Corporation’s plans and expectations related to production, development and expansion plans, the performance of the project, estimation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources; the timing and amount of future production, the estimation of life of mine are all forward looking. Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Corporation and its subsidiaries may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. They include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the Corporation’s plans to advance the projects through additional exploration and technical studies, the timing of these exploration activities, the recommended exploration work programs and the budget thereof, the anticipated results of Technical Reports, the ability of the Corporation to obtain the necessary funding and permits, the ability to satisfy all conditions precedent to drawing down on project financing, the ability to integrate the acquired companies and the maintenance of the social licences necessary to operate in the areas where the projects are located, and the closing of the ACG Transaction.
The Corporation’s forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and the Corporation does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions should change except as required by law. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Corporation's expectations include, but are not limited to, uncertainties involved in fluctuations in commodity prices and currency exchange rates; uncertainties relating to interpretation of drill results and geology, continuity and grade of mineral deposits; uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs, recovery rates, production estimates and estimated economic return; the need for cooperation of government agencies in the exploration and development of properties and the issuance of required permits; anti-mining sentiments in the community and jurisdictions where the projects are located as well as objections of indigenous or other tribal communities; the possibility that the conditions precedent to the closing and drawdown of the recently announced financing will not be met; the need to obtain additional financing to develop properties and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing; the possibility of delay in exploration or development programs or in construction projects and uncertainty of meeting anticipated program milestones; and uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other governmental approvals.
