Blue Moon Metals Awards EPC Contract for Nussir Processing Plant and Receives Approval of Waste Management Plan, Final Mine Plan and Extended Discharge Permit

PR Newswire· June 25, 2026

Blue Moon Metals Inc. has announced the achievement of several key milestones for its Nussir copper-silver-gold project in Norway, including the award of a major engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract. The company secured final regulatory approvals for its Waste Management Plan and updated mine operating plan, effectively completing the permitting framework required for full-scale operations. These advancements keep the project on schedule for a targeted production start in the fourth quarter of 2027.

Blue Moon Metals has awarded MOMEK Services AS, a subsidiary of the Norwegian industrial group MOMEK Group, the EPC contract for the civil, structural, mechanical, and piping scope of the Nussir processing plant. The contract covers detailed design, construction of buildings and equipment foundations, and the installation of both company-supplied and third-party mechanical equipment. This award is consistent with the execution plan outlined in the April 2026 Feasibility Study and moves the project toward full-scale construction and production.

Regulatory progress was solidified in the second quarter of 2026 as the Norwegian Environment Agency approved the Mine Waste Management Plan and issued an amendment to the project's discharge permit. Furthermore, the Norwegian Directorate of Mines approved the updated operating plan on June 18, 2026, providing the necessary technical details for mine operation and closure. CEO Christian Kargl-Simard noted that these approvals satisfy the last outstanding regulatory conditions, meaning the project now holds all material permits for construction and operation, including extraction and zoning licenses.

On-site development continues to advance, with underground development exceeding 2,000 meters in early June, representing over 1,000 meters of progress since January 2026. The company has completed the conveyor tunnel linking the decline to the orebody and the silo tunnel that will feed the mill, enabling the start of construction on the ore conveyor system. The Nussir project is a significant brownfield asset for Blue Moon, which is supported by major shareholders such as Teck Resources, Oaktree Capital Management, and Wheaton Precious Metals as it targets the production of metals critical to the global economy.
