Blue Moon Metals Inc. ($MOON, TSXV; BMM, NASDAQ) announced Tuesday that strategic partner Hartree Partners LP has exercised its "top-up right" under the investor rights agreement dated March 7, 2025, triggering a follow-on placement of approximately C$4.8 million.
Under the terms disclosed in the April 22 press release, Blue Moon Metals Inc. will issue 526,617 common shares to Hartree at C$9.06 per share, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The transaction is expected to close on or around April 29, 2026. No finder's fees were paid. The newly issued shares carry a statutory four-month-and-one-day hold period in Canada from the date of issuance.
The top-up right was triggered by share issuances the company completed through March 31, 2026, and the exercise is structured to allow Hartree to maintain its proportional interest in Blue Moon Metals Inc. Proceeds are designated for project development across the company's brownfield critical-metals portfolio and for general corporate purposes.
That portfolio spans five brownfield polymetallic projects: the Nussir copper-gold-silver project in Norway; the NSG copper-zinc-gold-silver project, also in Norway; the Blue Moon zinc-gold-silver-copper project in the United States; the Springer tungsten-molybdenum project in the United States; and the Apex germanium-gallium-copper project in the United States. The company notes that zinc, copper, and tungsten appear on both USGS and EU critical-metals lists, while germanium and gallium carry USGS critical-metals designation — a regulatory backdrop that underpins the strategic rationale for the capital allocation.
Hartree Partners is one of several institutional shareholders in Blue Moon Metals Inc., alongside Teck Resources Limited, funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, Wheaton Precious Metals, Altius Minerals Corporation, Baker Steel Resources Trust, LNS, and Monial.
The financing requires no shareholder vote and is structured as a private placement under the existing investor rights agreement, keeping execution friction minimal ahead of the anticipated late-April close.
