Blue Moon Closes C$35M Elmet Placement at C$10/Unit, Adds Elmet Board Seat
BMM has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $2.2.
Summary
Blue Moon closed the C$35M non-brokered placement with The Elmet Group, issuing 3.5M units at C$10.00 — each unit a share plus a C$10.80 warrant good for three years. That price is well above the current $4.50 quote, so Elmet is paying a steep premium for exposure, and the cash is ring-fenced solely for developing the Springer tungsten project. The deal is the equity leg of the up-to-$175M financing package announced September 14 with Elmet and EQ Resources, and it comes with an investor rights agreement giving Elmet board nomination, top-up and participation rights; William Jacob Homiller, ex-CEO of H.C. Starck Solutions, takes the seat effective October 16. No new control person was created and no finder's fees were paid, but closing still needs final TSXV approval. Elmet (ELMT) is the counterparty and strategic backer here; the material impact lands on Blue Moon's balance sheet and Springer timeline.
