Blue Moon Metals gives Elmet a formal governance role
The investor rights agreement accompanies Elmet’s equity subscription, giving the relationship a governance dimension alongside the financing. Blue Moon’s financing and board appointment announcement confirms that the agreement includes nomination, participation, top-up and information rights.
Homiller’s appointment took effect on October 16, 2026. He previously served as chief executive of carbon-removal technology company CarbiCrete from February 2024 through early 2026, and as president and chief executive of H.C. Starck Solutions from April 2020 through January 2024.
The announced rights give Elmet a role in board representation and future equity participation. They do not amount to a commitment to provide additional funding, and Blue Moon said the placement did not create any new insiders or control persons.

Placement proceeds are reserved for Springer
Blue Moon issued 3.5 million units at C$10 each in the non-brokered placement. The financing was connected to Elmet’s investment in the Springer Tungsten Complex, which had been announced on September 14, 2026.
The company said net proceeds will be used solely for Springer’s development, rather than being available across its broader project portfolio. Gross proceeds of C$35 million are the amount raised before any applicable transaction costs.
Although Blue Moon described the placement as closed, final TSX Venture Exchange approval remained outstanding. That distinction separates the completed subscription from the remaining exchange approval requirement.
Springer sits within a six-project portfolio
Blue Moon is advancing six brownfield polymetallic projects in Norway and the United States. Springer is its U.S. tungsten-molybdenum project; the other assets include Nussir, NSG, Blue Moon, Apex and Turner.
Elmet is a U.S.-based supplier of precision-engineered components and advanced high-energy systems serving industries including aerospace, defense, semiconductors and energy. The transaction ties its investment to a specific mineral-development asset while establishing broader shareholder rights at Blue Moon.
Conclusion
The transaction provides project-specific funding for Springer and formalizes Elmet’s shareholder rights. Final TSX Venture Exchange approval remains the outstanding transaction requirement to watch.
