(TSXV: MOON; US: BMOOF) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that a Phase 1 drill program has just commenced at the Company's 100%-owned Blue Moon zinc-rich Volcanic Massive Sulphide (\"VMS\") deposit in Mariposa County, California.  This is the first drilling at this project in more than 25 years with new interpretations of the system providing strong potential for fresh discoveries to significantly expand the known zinc-copper-silver-gold resource.  \n\nPatrick McGrath, Blue Moon CEO, commented: \"It's an exciting new time for Blue Moon shareholders as we put our extensive review of historical data to work to identify potential new zinc-rich massive sulphide zones that could dramatically change the scale and dynamics of this project.\"\n\nInitial drilling (approximately 4,000 feet or 1,200 meters) will target northern and southern extensions of the upper Main and West lenses between a depth of 500 and 1,000 feet from surface.  \n\nBlue Moon geologists also recently performed a comprehensive review of historical data and identified multiple additional priority targets that could represent potential new high-grade zones and/or expansion of current zones, including but not limited to:\n\n\n600 feet of favourable untested stratigraphy immediately north of the East Zone;\nDown plunge extensions of the Main and West zones;\nDrill holes on the south flank of the West zone horizon cut stringer mineralization suggesting it is a feeder zone and points to a massive sulphide target to the south of the West zone. Further evidence for massive sulphides in this area comes from an untested off-hole electromagnetic (EM) conductor identified by previous operator Westmin;\nA 2,400-foot gap between mineralization in holes B-67, B-70 and B-66 is largely untested and warrants multiple exploration holes with the potential of disco...
