1SUMMARY

 

1.1Overview

 

Mr. Adam Wheeler, (C. Eng, Eur Ing.) was retained by Blue Moon Metals Inc. (“Blue Moon”), a TSX Venture Exchange listed (TSX-V.: MOON) company focused on the exploration and development of deposits in Norway and the USA, to prepare an independent Technical Report on the mineral resources of the Sulitjelma Project located in Nordland County, northern Norway. Sulitjelma Project is a former producer and a potential underground copper mining project. This Technical Report conforms to National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101). The Author has visited the Project on December 2nd, 2024. He also visited the central Norwegian core facility at the Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU), Lokken, on December 3rd, 2024, to inspect drill hole core from Sulitjelma.

 

The overall Sulitjelma Projects was former underground mining operations, occurring from 1891 – 1991. The mineral resource estimate described in this report reflects all the drilling data currently available. It should be noted that there are several different orebodies on the Sulitjelma Project, with one overall region measuring approximately 7km by 2km, and another smaller region about 3km away, measuring approximately 2km by 1km. The mineral resource estimation described here has focused on four deposit regions.

 

Resource estimation work was done using the Datamine mining software system, Studio RM, Version 2.1.125.0.

 

1.2Ownership

 

Nye Sulitjelma Gruver (“NSG”) has 14 extraction licences and 16 exploration licences covering the Sulitjelma deposit areas within the Nordland district. Part of the Sagmo area is inside the Junkerdal National Park. Otherwise, there are no protected areas for the other parts of the deposit.

 

Blue Moon acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NSG pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated December 19, 2024. As consideration, Blue Moon issued 56,079,997 common shares of Blue Moon to former NSG shareholders, who will also receive US$3M in cash milestone payments related to permitting for tailings discharge followed by receipt of the operating permit for the Sulitjelma Project.

 

1.3Geology and Mineralisation

 

The volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) sulphide deposits at Sulitjelma Project are situated at the contact between submarine basalts and overlying sediments and they are interpreted to have been formed by volcanic-associated hydrothermal sedimentary exhalative processes on the Ordovician seafloor within a fault-controlled basin and are classified as being of Cyprus type VMS deposit.

 

Each deposit has a well-developed subjacent zone of hydrothermal alteration, the core of which appears abnormally enriched in potassium relative to the surrounding strata. Distinct mineralization facies are recognised as products of primary hydrothermal alteration, regional amphibolite-grade metamorphism and accompanying tectonic deformation. The widespread brecciation associated with the mineralised zones can partly explained by tectonism, but it may also be evidence of a cyclic catastrophic stage, during the evolution of the enclosing basalts.

 

Adam WheelerSeptember 2025

Technical Report on the Mineral Resources of the Sulitjelma Project

The overall district hosting the Sulitjelma Project is about 100 km2 in size, containing about 25 individual deposits. The VMS deposits are tabular and elongated, reaching 1,200 m in length and 300 m in width, typically dipping between 10 degrees and 45 degrees. The high-grade parts of the deposits that were mined historically rarely exceeded 5 m in thickness and typically averaged 2 m.

 

The mineralised zones typically consist of massive pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Mineralisation can also be semi-massive, brecciated as well as disseminated. Well-known in the Sulitjelma Project area are large, rounded pyrite crystals, within a matrix of chalcopyrite, sphalerite and pyrrhotite.

 

Historically, the bulk of the material extracted at Sulitjelma Project was in what is known as the Northern Ore Field located north of Lake Langvann. The current resource estimation includes the Rupsi/Dypet and Hankabakken deposits, which are part of this Northern Ore Field. The other zone being evaluated in the current study is the Sagmo deposit, which is in the Southern Ore Field, south of Lake Langvann.

 

1.4Database and Resource Estimation

 

In 2021, Norwegian geologists started to compile all available drill hole information and its related data, into Excel spreadsheets. The compiled information was transferred to Datamine, as separate .csv files for collar coordinates, drill hole survey data, assay results and lithology logs. After import of these data sets into Datamine, the different assay, collars and survey data files were combined into individual single files for each zone for work in 3D.

 

For the Sulitjelma Project, complete sets of data from 601 diamond drill holes have been collated, covering 78,144 m. Of these, 286 diamond drill holes have intersected mineralisation for the three regions which have been evaluated in the current study. 51 of these holes were drilled from surface, with the other 235 holes being drilled from underground.

 

The drilling data was then used to develop a sectional interpretation of mineralised intersections, based on lithology as well as a cut-off of broadly 0.3% CuEq. The interpreted zones have been extrapolated a maximum distance of approximately 100 m beyond the furthest intersection, both laterally and down-dip, from the outer-most drill hole intersections. The drilling grid spacing used was generally 200 to 250 m, so the extrapolation distance is generally half of the typical grid spacing.

 

Three separate block models were developed, for the Rupsi/Dypet, Hankabakken and Sagmo deposits. For each deposit, the same modelling methodology was applied. A digital terrain model (DTM) was generated, based on the centre points on each drill hole intersection. Approximate apparent thickness values were then estimated and used to develop a three-dimensional block model of each zone. Composite grades for copper and zinc were then estimated, based on inverse-distance weighting (squared). The previously exploited areas were allocated as mined by using perimeters from historical mine plans. These mined-out areas are therefore excluded from the current mineral resource estimation in this report.

1.5Exploration Status

 

The Sulitjelma Project is at development stage, and Blue Moon is evaluating a restart of operations of this historical producer. Historical diamond drilling was carried out between 1945 and 1988, during which operators completed 816 core drill holes for a total of 137,700 m. Other exploration work in the Sulitjelma Project area has included ground and airborne geophysical studies, geological mapping, outcrop and mine dump grab sampling, and regional lithogeochemical rock sampling for rocktype fingerprinting. In addition to the 25 deposits that have been identified, there are several mineralized occurrences both around the deposits and regionally that are either untested or only supported by limited drilling. This means that additional infill and exploration drilling is warranted to more fully test favourable stratigraphy both around the deposits and regionally.

 

Blue Moon has not yet done any active exploration work, including drilling, on the Sulitjelma Project since acquiring the property but is developing plans to do so.

 

The current exploration plan is to extend the existing Rupsi tunnel by approximately 1 km. From this new development access underground, a diamond drilling program of 10,000 m is planned. The new drilling data is expected to greatly assist with further geological and geotechnical modelling.

 

1.6Mineral Resource Estimation

 

This Mineral Resource Estimation (“MRE”) work was carried out and prepared in compliance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101, and the mineral resources in this estimate were calculated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council May 10th, 2014.

 

Conforming with guidelines for “reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction”, constrained evaluations were completed using a Mineable Shape Optimiser (MSO) to generate wireframes.

 

This mineral resource estimate of the Sulitjelma deposit is summarised in Table 1-1, related to a cut-off grade of 0.6% CuEq and a minimum thickness of 2.2 m.

3.A minimum mining thickness of 2.2 m was applied in making the MRE constraint wireframes.
4.The MRE constraint wireframes were generated using a preliminary MSO, based on a cut-off grade of 0.6% Cu_Eq, related to potential underground mining.
5.Assumed parameters for the cut-off grade and Cu-equivalent (Cu_Eq) calculations included:
Prices: USD4.20/lb Cu, USD1.25/lb Zn
Processing recoveries: 92% Cu, 57% Zn
Payabilities: 96.5% Cu, 86% Zn
6.For the cut-off grade calculation, the assumed total operating cost was $50/t of ore.
7.A global density value of 3 t/m3 was assumed.
8.Rounding may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grades and metal content; not considered material.
9.Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

1.7Results and Interpretations

 

There are several opportunities to improve the current results presented in this report, which should be investigated further as part of the ongoing development of the Sulitjelma Project. Most of the deposits evaluated in this mineral resource estimation have some parts that are densely sampled, notably in areas in or close to the old underground workings. Going down-dip, the drill hole spacings are generally much wider, with more reliance on much longer underground drill holes, often with very poor intersection angles, or on relatively few surface drill holes.

 

Further drilling campaigns would therefore have a significant effect on the development of the project, in terms of:

 

·The use of twin drill holes to help verify all or part of the historical drilling data.

·Potentially increase Inferred category material through additional drilling both down-dip and along-strike.

·Decreasing drill spacing would greatly help in the estimation of Indicated category material. To achieve Indicated resource categorisation using any of the historical drill hole data, the results from twin drilling would have to help verify the use of all or part of the historical drill hole database.

 

1.8Conclusions

 

The updated mineral resource estimate as of February 20th, 2025, has these conclusions from the Author, which are as follows:

 

·The Sulitjelma mine processed approximately 26 Mt of ore over just under 100 years of production, with average grades of 1.80% Cu and 0.82% Zn. Approximately 10 Mt of ore were produced from zones nearby to the zones which have been evaluated in the current study.

·The geological setting and character of the VMS mineralization identified to date on the Sulitjelma Project are of sufficient enough to justify additional exploration expenditures.

·Most drill holes in the current database are related to the mineral resources at Sulitjelma Project in the four deposits, totalling 601 core drill holes for 78,144 metres. There is no core on site, but at the NGU core inventory at Lokken, approximately 19,330m Sulitjelma core are stored, from 469 holes that were drilled in and around the Sulitjelma zones being considered in this study.

·Drilling has identified extensive, conformable, metasediments and metavolcanics with quite distinct mineralized zones, that remain open with respect to further exploration, and which in some areas have been mined extensively in the past.

·The drilling related to the zones being currently evaluated took place between 1952 and 1988, while the mine was in production. There is very little information available about the drilling, sampling, sample preparation and analysis procedures. Similarly, there is almost no QAQC data available.

·Very little data is available for rock density measurements.

·Due to the proximity of the underground workings and the geometry of the deposit, many of the underground drill hole intersection angles are very poor, which complicates geological modelling.

·Because of these factors, the author has assigned all of the current resource estimation to the Inferred category.

1.9Recommendations

 

1.9.1Sample Preparation, Analyses, and Security

 

·QAQC Program. A rigorous quality control and quality assurance (“QAQC”) policy needs to be developed for standards, blanks and duplicate samples, for all on-going drilling and sampling work. This QAQC program will also need to use certified reference material (“CRM”) samples with similar lithologies and Cu/Zn grades to Sulitjelma Project.

·Core Shack. A secure premises will be required for core logging and storage of drill core, as well as all returned pulp and reject material from the analytical laboratory.

·Density Measurement equipment and procedures need to be set-up for any new drilling as well as check density measurements of historical core at Lokken.

 

1.9.2Data Verification

 

·Relogging of Drill Core. A relogging program should be completed of Sulitjelma Project historical drill core stored at Lokken. This work would be more extensive than any previous relogging exercise; noting that relogging will be difficult, as much of the core is extremely dirty. If possible, some check sampling should also be completed while relogging is ongoing, although in most cases there is little, or no drill core left in the core boxes from the originally sampled intersections. As well, additional sampling of previously unsampled drill core should be done, noting that at current cut-off levels for the mineral resource estimate, there are potentially extended or new mineralised intersections that could warrant follow-up.

·Drilling Database. The current database needs to be enhanced so that YEAR identification data is recorded for each drill hole. This is very important, as in on-going verification and estimation work, it may be necessary to filter the historic data with relation to the date of age of the data available.

·Twin Drilling. A twin drilling program should be completed during the next work program, to help verify all or part of the historical drilling data for each deposit. NSG have already planned the extension of an existing underground adit, the Rupsi tunnel, for the purpose of providing drilling access. A suggested starting proportion of twinning could be 5%, with respect to historic drill holes for each deposit. When the assay results are returned from the laboratory and analysed, it can be determined if and where further twin drilling would be required.

·Drill Hole Collars. During summer, historic surface drill hole collars should be found and resurveyed, where possible. Depending on the extent of underground access, the location and resurveying of underground drill hole collars should also be attempted.

·Mined-Out Extents. Depending on underground access, surveys should be made of mined-out areas adjacent to the evaluated resources. Modern equipment, including the use of drones, could help with this check survey process.

·Metallurgical Program. A full metallurgical audit should be undertaken regarding the production recoveries and any reports on file. Once there is new material available from drilling that is representative of the deposits, a new metallurgical program should be planned to encompass flotation test work, variability analysis, and lock cycle testing to ensure process design in the plant is setup for maximizing metal recovery.

1.9.3Exploration Program and Budget

 

For further development of the project, the Author recommends implementation of an exploration program. This work covers extension of the existing Rupsi tunnel by 1 km, in order to allow access, and then using of this new tunnel access to complete approximately 10,000 m of diamond drilling from underground. The intent of the drilling is to enable potentially increasing confidence in the resources in the Rupsi deposit, with upgrading of some material from an Inferred category to an Indicated category.

 

A summary breakdown of this work program is presented below, along with associated estimated costs expected to total approximately 4.6 M USD (Table 1-2).

4.3Fees and Royalties

 

Under the Norwegian Minerals Act, metals with a specific gravity of 5 g/cm³ or higher, including copper and zinc, are classified as state-owned minerals. These metals, which are of primary economic interest at Sulitjelma Project, require compensation to the state through payment of yearly fees to uphold the extraction and exploration permits. The fees are calculated based on the size of the areas in question and must be paid within 15th January each year.

 

Further, all extraction of state-owned minerals requires payment of an annual fee of 0.5% of the sales value of the extracted minerals to the landowner. In addition, an increased landowner fee of 0.5% is mandated for projects in Nordland County.

 

Blue Moon must pay a fee equivalent to 0.75% of the sales value of extracted minerals. The basis for calculating the fee will in general be the extractor's sales revenue (excluding VAT) from the sale of extracted quantities and quantities that potentially have sales value, but which the extractor processes on their own or otherwise utilizes without making a sale. The annual fee will be due for payment by March 31 of the following year.

 

4.4Environmental Liabilities

 

The Sulitjelma project currently has no environmental liabilities, since any impact from historical mining operations rest with the Norwegian Government.

 

A permit for restart of initial mining activities must be acquired to conduct the exploration work described in Section 26.3. This permit has been applied for and the status of this application is expected during 2025. Apart from this, the Author is not aware of any other significant factors and risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the property.

5ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY

 

5.1 Accessibility

 

There is an International Airport in Bodø on the west coast, with national and international flights daily. Bodø is 91 km by road to Sulitjelma. The European Highway E6 goes through the Municipal Center of Fauske. From here the regional #630 road goes eastward to Sulitjelma (38 km). This road is built for transport and is of a high standard and asphalted.

 

Established container port of Straumen can accommodate large ships and has weekly port calls. Straumen is a 54 km drive from Sulitjelma. The port in Fauske can be used for larger ships.

 

Fauske and Straumen are both ice-free during winter, making sea transport of supplies and export of concentrate directly to and from the site possible year-round.

 

5.2 Site Description

 

Sulitjelma is an old mining village, in Fauske Municipality in Nordland County, Norway. It is situated in a lush inland valley at an elevation of 140 metres (460 ft) above sea level. Most of the existing residences as well as the old mine infrastructure is located on the north and eastern banks Langvatnet lake. The lakes Lomivatnet, Kjelvatnet and Muorkkejávrre are located to the east and south of the village.

 

The 0.53-square-kilometre (130-acre) village of Sulitjelma has a population (2023) of 399.

 

Sulitjelma is virtually surrounded by mountains and glaciers. Sulitjelma is at the southern terminus of the Nordkalottruta hiking trail. There is a road connection to the town of Fauske, which is located approximately 31 km to the west. Winters in Sulitjelma have reliable snow cover that are on average 2 °C colder than in the town of Fauske. Sulitjelma Church and Sulitjelma Chapel are both located in the village. There are many historical mines in the area.

 

Most of the entrances to the historical mining areas are from horizontal adits heading north off the northern bank of Langvann lake. There are also the historical Sagmo mine workings approximately 2 km south of the lake. Plans of local Sulitjelma area, relative to the historical mine workings and old plant infrastructure, are shown in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2. The topography rises at about 10 degrees on the south side of the lake, and at about 27 degrees on the north side.

5.3Climate

 

Sulitjelma Project is located inside the Arctic Circle and has 24-hours of daylight from early May to the beginning of August with midnight sun between the beginning of June to the second week of July. The area has polar night for part of December because it has sunrise at 11 am and sunset before noon each day.

 

Average 24-hour temperatures at Sulitjelma Project range from -5o C in February to approximately from 12o C in July. Moderate summer temperatures normally last from May to September. Daytime temperatures are usually significantly warmer than the 24-hr average from March to September, while there is very little diurnal temperature variation from November to early February, as the sun is very low or below the horizon most of the day.

 

Precipitation is heaviest from September to March, often as snow, typically over 130 mm a day in this period. The average annual precipitation is approximately 1 m.

 

The Project is operable year-round.

 

5.4Local Resources

 

There is a small local tourist industry in Sulitjelma, with a mining museum and trips along one of the remaining mine tunnels. Sulitjelma is at the southern terminus of the Nordkalottruta hiking trail. There is production of sapphire glass at the industrial area in Sandnes, near to the old processing plant.

 

The Langvann lake is a potential location for future tailings placement.

 

The town of Fauske, 31 km to the west, has a population of approximately 10,000 and it has many different types of manufacturing companies.

 

5.5Infrastructure

 

There is paved road access all the way to Sulitjelma. There are still many buildings and infrastructure on site, from the former mining operations, that could be useful for any restart of mining operations. NSG have the exclusive right to buy the former process plant at a very low price. Along with the permit for restart of mining operations (which has been applied for) this will give NSG sufficient surface rights for mining and processing operations, as well as access to water, power and potential waste and tailings disposal areas.

 

Outotec completed a historical Preliminary Feasibility Study on Sulitjelma in 2013. This included cost estimation of developing a new plant. Outotec visited the site twice during this period, and concluded that the old process buildings remain in relatively good condition, and a new processing plant could be developed using existing conveyor tunnels and premises with only minor adjustments, such as drilling holes and grouting.

 

For mobile telecommunications there is a 5G network widely available in the Mine area and Fauske.

 

There is a local hospital in Fauske (31 km east of Sulitjelma) and a regional hospital in Bodø (74 km due east of Sulitjelma).

The main industries in Fauske include tourism, energy, marble and dolomite quarries. The main industries in Bodø include energy, construction and aviation.

 

5.6Power Supply

 

High voltage power lines are available on site, supplied by multiple hydroelectric power stations in the area. A plan of the local hydroelectric power stations is shown in Figure 5-4. A plan of the power lines and transformers is shown in Figure 5-5. The approximately W-E lines are 110-170 kV, and the approximately north-south lines are 32 – 66 kV.

 

In Sulitjelma, 1,072 GWh is produced annually (average production) from 5 power plants, all owned by Salten Kraftsamband (SKS). Most of the power is surplus power that is exported from Sulitjelma. Local distribution takes place via a transformer station close to the old flotation building at the Sandnes industrial area. From here, the power is distributed internally into Sulitjelma mainly through 5 kV overhead lines..

 

5.7Water Supply

 

There are existing facilities for process water and potable water at site. The process water comes from the outlet water from hydropower and could be used as a supply for a processing plant. The local water supply at Sandnes, in and around the old processing plant area, is shown in Figure 5-3.

6HISTORY

 

6.1Mining History

 

There have been historical mineral resources and mineral reserves that led to historical production at the Sulitjelma Project. Blue Moon is not treating any historical estimates as current mineral reserves or mineral resources.

 

The Author of this report has not done sufficient work to classify any historical estimate associated with the Sulitjelma Project, as either current mineral reserves or mineral resources. If the Author has referred to any historical estimates, the reader is cautioned not to treat them, or any part of them, as current. The historical production summarized below are included simply to provide the reader with a complete history of the Sulitjelma Project, which has been producing and selling metal into the marketplace since 1896 (see Table 6-1). The Author of this report has reviewed the information in this section, as well as that within the cited references, and the Author has determined that it is suitable for disclosure.

 

All stakeholders are cautioned that none are considered current and therefore should not rely on them due to being superseded by the mineral resource estimate of this report.

 

Copper has been mined in Norway for several hundred years, noting the first documented copper mine being the Verlohme Sohn Mine in Kongsberg 1490.

 

The first deposit discovered in Sulitjelma Project area was found by a Lapp, Mons Petter, in 1858. The Swedish consul Nils Persson was granted a mining lease in 1886, and after initial investigations and preliminary mining in1887, he established a mining company in 1891, the Sulitjelma Aktiebolag. The mines in the Sulitjelma Project area became the largest mining enterprise in Norway of the 20th century, with an estimate of 75,000-man years of labour. The largest number of employees was reached in 1913, amounting to 1,750. The company was reorganized in 1933, under the name of A/S Sulitjelma Gruber, and from 1937 the major shareholders were Norwegians. In 1931, a 50-year mining licence was established. In 1965, Elkem bought up to 90% ownership. In 1983, the Elkem decided that they did not want to continue mining due to low copper prices (below NOK 10/kg) and a lack of mining investment. Copper smelting ceased in 1987, which was followed by cessation of mining operations on June 28,1991. Over the production history, the mines of Sulitjelma Project produced copper, zinc and sulphur, mining 26 Mt of ore, with average grades of 1.8% Cu, 0.82% Zn and 20% S.

 

The copper concentrates and blister copper produced at the site might also yield some future potential benefits with respect to gold and silver. It appears that there has been no follow-up metallurgical work undertaken since this finding to further the understanding of both gold and silver in the VMS deposits that compose the Sulitjelma Project.

6.2Exploration

 

An Australian exploration company, Drake Resources, conducted exploration activities in the Sulitjelma Project area between 2014 and 2015. Initial work involved a 2014 airborne geophysical (“VTEM”) survey, which enabled identification of priority copper/zinc targets. The priority targets were then groomed through ground-based electromagnetic (EM) geophysics survey, as well as taking samples from outcrops as well as from an individual mine dump, as summarised in Table 6-2. These geophysics survey limits are shown in Figure 6-1.

In 2014, exploration work was also carried out in the Diamanten area, which is approximately 10km south of the Sagmo deposit, as also shown in Figure 6-1. 10 samples were taken from 3 drill holes, with one sample assaying 4.7% Cu. The Diamanten area is untouched by mining, and it is within one of NSG’s mining licenses.

6.3Recent Project Developments

 

The company Nye Sulitjelma Gruver (“NSG”) was established in 2011. The mining rights for the Nordgruvefeltet and Sagmo areas were secured by NSG in 2012.

 

A regulation plan was developed for the area in 2016, with a focus on impact assessment, which was approved by the Fauske municipality. In 2020, an application was made for a permit for a restart of initial mining activities in accordance with the Pollution Act and sent to the Norwegian Environment Agency. The status of this application is expected this year. Further project developments are summarised below:

 

2020 - Start of current mineral resource estimation project work.
   
2021 - Start of planning for initial mining area and waste rock deposition.
  - Acquisition of Sulitjelma Mineral (the previous owners) by NSG.
  - NSG categorised as “pilot project” in Nordland County.
   
2022 - More detailed planning of Rupsi tunnel and exploration drilling.
  - Request made for potential electric power demand of 10MW capacity.
   
2023 - Application to Directorate for Minerals for extension of Rupsi tunnel. NSG have received basic agreement and are expecting formal declaration.
   
2024 - Detailed Zoning Plan made for Rupsi and Avilon. Avilon is 300 m away for waste deposition. The focus of this zoning plan includes the areas shown in Figure 6-2.

7GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERALISATION

 

7.1Regional Geology

 

The stratigraphic sequence, which contains many Scandinavian pyritic deposits, lies in the middle and upper Köli nappes of the upper allochthon, part of the Caledonide orogen, a belt of lower Paleozoic rocks extending some 2,000 km along the western margin of the Scandinavian peninsula. The geographic location of Sulitjelma and its position within the Caledonides is shown in Figure 7-1.

 

The Sulitjelma region is underlain by a granitic gneiss basement of Precambrian age, which is exposed in several tectonic windows. This basement is a continuation of the Precambrian of the adjoining Baltic Shield. The Caledonian rocks above this basement are relatively thin and have been divided into several structural units, separated by early thrusts and affected by later metamorphism and folding.

 

Figure 7-1. Simplified Map of Scandinavian Caledonides

 

 

In the Sulitjelma region two nappe units have been distinguished (Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-3), of which the upper one, a varied series of metasediments, is termed the Sulitjelma Schist Sequence. The lower unit consists of amphibolites above calcareous schists and phyllites.

7.2Local Geology

 

A plan of the surface geology for the Sulitjelma Project area is shown in Figure 7-5. The Furulund Group and the Sulitjelma amphibolites contain the volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) mineralisation. The lithology of Furulund Group consists of calcareous phyllites and schists, very well-banded and in parts rich in garnet and hornblende. The group includes basic intrusions, which are now metadolerites with coarse-grained interiors and highly deformed margins.

 

The Sulitjelma Project area deposits are located at the junction of a dominantly basaltic sequence, the Otervatn Volcanic Formation, with the overlying thick sedimentary unit: the Furulund Group. This basaltic segment forms the extrusive portion of the Sulitjelma Ophiolite Complex (Boyle, 1989) shown in Figure 7-4. The Sulitjelma Gabbro Complex and the sheeted Mietjerpakte Intrusive Complex have been interpreted by Boyle (1980) as the intrusive and hypabyssal portions. The stratigraphic and igneous relations of the rocks of the area have been reviewed and a model for the emplacement of the Sulitjelma fold nappe presented by Boyle (1987). Geochemical studies by Boyle (1982, 1989) and Cook (1987) have been interpreted to show that the Sulitjelma Ophiolite Complex represents a fragment of ensialic marginal basin which closed and was obducted during the Scandian orogenic phase and emplaced as a large-scale fold nappe (Figure 7-6).

 

The stratigraphy of the Sulitjelma Project area has undergone amphibolite-grade metamorphism. Polyphase penetrative deformation of the sequence has resulted in widespread stratigraphic inversion. This has led the actual stratigraphy shown in Figure 7-7, as well as the relative positions of mineralised zones shown in the section in Figure 7-6. The plan locations of the main deposits are shown in Figure 7-5.

7.3Mineralisation

 

The deposits are interpreted as being originally formed at a single stratigraphic interval on the Ordovician seafloor (Cook et al, 1990), which fits the VMS genetic model. Each deposit has a well-developed subjacent zone of hydrothermal alteration, in which the core of each alteration zone appears to be abnormally enriched in potassium relative to the surrounding strata. The core of these alteration zones is typically enveloped by a chloritic alteration zone characterized by an increasing Fe/(Fe d- Mg) ratio away from the deposit.

 

Distinct sulphide mineralization facies are recognized as products of primary hydrothermal alteration, regional amphibolite--grade metamorphism, and accompanying penetrative tectonic deformation. Metals in these zones of hydrothermal alteration are interpreted as having resulted from leaching from the enclosing basalts, which display widespread physical and chemical effects of hydrothermal leaching. The widespread brecciation associated with the deposits can partly be explained by tectonism; it may also be evidence of a cyclic catastrophic stage during the evolution of the sea-floor hydrothermal system.

The Sulitjelma Gabbro Complex shows textural features in accordance with rapid cooling by seawater and it is believed that a subvolcanic intrusion represents the heat source which drove the hydrothermal convection cell.

 

The highly altered geochemistry of the main lithologies, due to hydrothermal alteration, and the widespread presence of chlorite as the major silicate mineral makes them distinctive and readily recognizable at surface outcrop. The chloritization is either due to widespread retrograde metamorphism to greenschist grade or to abnormal fluid conditions during prograde metamorphism which prevented the crystallization of Ca amphiboles. Small but distinct, although somewhat erratic, dispersal halos of trace elements exist in the strata-bound horizons of chloritic alteration and extend up to 300 m away from the deposits. Zn, Pb, Co, Ag, Cd, As, Bi, and Se form the most readily detectable halos. The size and orientation of the halos are strongly controlled by structural deformation of the sequence.

 

Major minerals in the VMS deposits are pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and pyrrhotite. Galena and arsenopyrite are minor minerals. The minerals typically contain metablastic pyrite in a matrix of chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and pyrrhotite, with the pyrite commonly displaying either cataclastic deformation textures or annealed to 120° triple junctions. The famous large, rounded pyrite crystals, 1 cm or larger, termed “durchbewe-gung” (through-movement) fabrics by early German workers, have been the subject of much interest. They have been interpreted as the results of the deformation which accompanied regional metamorphism and are aligned parallel to the schistosity of the enclosing rock. Gangue minerals include quartz, iron- and titanium-oxides, and locally, anhydrite.

 

Several of the deposits display variations in mineralogy, notably the Sagmo deposit, possessing more pyrrhotite than pyrite. At the Mons Petter deposit, there is a widespread, distinct facies of the mineralization composed of magnetite, pyrite and sphalerite. Grades of precious metals in all the deposits are generally low.

 

Differential mobilization of the mineralization induced by metamorphism and tectonism is recognized at various scales (Figure 7-9). Fold hinges within the mineralised zones typically display considerable enrichment of the more ductile sulphide phases, particularly chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. The mineralization is often also thickened in the necks of the folds and thinned on the limbs. The mineralogy of the subjacent potassic zone is usually K-feldspar, biotite and albite, with varying proportions of quartz, albite, quartz, chlorite, hornblende, actinolite and sulphides.

8DEPOSIT TYPE

 

The Sulitjelma Project area contains more than 20 different VMS deposits, which are recognised as stratiform, strata-bound pyritic Cu-Zn sulphide bodies, the products of volcanic-associated hydrothermal sedimentary exhalative formation. There are many shared characteristics of Cyprus-type VMS deposits such as being hosted by pillowed mafic volcanic rocks of ophiolitic affinity, examples of which include those in Cyprus itself, the Semail ophiolite in Oman and the Ergani district in Turkey.

 

These deposits are interpreted as having been originally formed at a single stratigraphic interval on the Ordovician seafloor. The stratigraphy of the Sulitjelma Project area has undergone amphibolite-grade metamorphism, and polyphase penetrative deformation of the sequence has resulted in widespread stratigraphic inversion, as well as overlapping of different parts of the original strata, giving what are now effectively different beds.

 

Each individual deposit is elongate or tabular in shape and is confined to a single stratigraphic interval and they are typically 500 to 1,200 m in length, 200 to 400 m in width, and from 1 to 15 m in thickness. In the northern ore field, these deposits are typically dipping from 10 to 45 degrees to the north-east. Each deposit lies on a distinct axis, most deposits in the northern field having long axes trending northwest-southeast. These lithologies, together with the deposits and enclosing envelopes of alteration, have been isoclinally folded by simple shear, such that they now appear stacked up within the stratigraphy, giving the appearance of multiple mineralised zones.

 

Each deposit has a well-developed subjacent zone of alteration, in which the core of each alteration zone appears to be abnormally enriched in potassium relative to the surrounding strata. The potassically enriched core is enveloped by a more typical chloritic alteration zone characterized by an increasing Fe/(Fe + Mg) ratio away from the deposit. There are distinct facies in the mineralization that are recognized as products of primary hydrothermal zonation, regional amphibolite-grade metamorphism, and accompanying penetrative tectonic deformation. The metals in the deposits are interpreted as having resulted from leaching of the enclosing basalts, which display widespread the physical and chemical effects of hydrothermal leaching.

 

Typically, the deposits are overlain by amphibolites or schists, with basalts of the Otervatn Volcanic Formation below. However, with the isoclinal folding and stratigraphic inversion, means that variations can occur, often with amphibolites both above and below the deposits.

9EXPLORATION

 

Blue Moon has not carried out any exploration work on the property. For a description of historical exploration work, refer to Section 6 - History.

 

10DRILLING

 

Blue Moon has not carried out any drilling work on the property. This section provides a summary of all drilling, as well as all coring procedures relative to all work done by prior operators for the Sulitjelma Project.

 

A summary of historic drilling at Sulitjelma Project is shown in Table 10-1. The inventories of drill core stored at the Lokken facility contains 816 diamond drill holes, totalling 137,699 m. These drill holes were completed over period of 43-years between 1945 and 1988. Specifically, regarding the Sulitjelma Project area, 642 holes were completed, totalling 97,202 m, completed over a 36-year period between 1952 and 1988. From these holes, the inventory data records indicate that 41,155 m of this core is stored at Lokken, representing 42% of the drilled total.

 

The drilling database used for the mineral resource estimate described in this report contains 601 historic drill holes, totalling 78,144 m. The current mineral resource estimate is presented in Section 14 of this report with an effective date of February 20th, 2025.

 

The Author has not been able to verify the drilling methodologies for the Sulitjelma Project because of a loss of records by NSG. Similarly, the Author has not been able to verify the core logging procedures for the Sulitjelma Project for the same reason; however, the Author is confident that the appropriate information has been captured due to the review of databases and referencing back to stored drill core that was available for review. This includes information about lithology, alteration, mineralization, and structure, meaning in the opinion of the Author, the data was collected properly for use in a mineral resource estimation exercise.

11SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSIS AND SECURITY

 

11.1Observations

 

There was a thorough review by the Author of available information from NSG on the Sulitjelma Project that yielded very little quality control and quality assurance (“QAQC”) data. Similarly, the Author discovered that there is little information available regarding sample preparation, laboratory analytical procedures, including the performance standards, blanks and duplicates for QAQC. This means that there is also no information available about chain of custody security procedures from the historic drilling activities; however, it is presumed that the prior operators conducted both sampling of the drill core and used analytical procedures in accordance with the industry best practices, based on the information presented here in Section 11 below.

 

In terms of sample collection, it can be seen from the remaining Sulitjelma Project drill core at Lokken that sampling was focused on mineralised intersections for the most part, with the initial samples being taken by sawing of the drill core in half and leaving the remnant half core in the core box for record keeping and future review.

 

The fact that so much of the Sulitjelma Project drill core is still in reasonable condition at Lokken, demonstrates the sound safeguarding procedures which must have been in place when the original samples were taken by prior operators.

 

Core diameters, as summarised in Error! Reference source not found., range from 22 mm t o 36 mm (BQ). For the current database, a histogram of sample lengths is shown in Figure 11-1.

 

Figure 11-1. Histogram of Drilling Sample Lengths

 

 

Adam WheelerSeptember 2025

Technical Report on the Mineral Resources of the Sulitjelma Project 
 54

 

 

It can be seen from this histogram most of the samples have been taken with a 1 m length, and a lower number at 0.5 m, 2 m and 3 m. There is also a spread of intermediate sample lengths.

 

There are no records that can be provided by NSG describing the assay methods used; however, from examination of the compiled assay databases, the limits of detection can be inferred by the Author, and these detection limits are summarised in Table 11-1.

 

The NGU inventory in Lokken, where all the remaining Sulitjelma Project drill core is currently stored, is a well maintained and secure facility; however, there does not appear to be any storage of sample rejects or pulps.

Element Value Unit
Cu 0.01 %
Zn 0.01 %
Pb 0.01 ppm
S 0.08 %
Fe - %
Au 0.01 ppm
Ag 0.1 ppm

 

The absence of QAQC standards, blanks and duplicates, as well as the lack of analysis, does of course provide a risk for the available drill hole databases. This is discussed in more detail in section 25.1.3 with respect to putting in place mitigative measures moving forward.

11.2 Overview

 

The sample preparation methods and QAQC measures used could not be validated or verified by the Author, owing to the lack of documentation and other information related to sampling activities (1952-1988) connected with the drilling databases used in the current study by prior operators.

 

Similarly, the assaying and analytical procedures could also not be validated or verified by the Author, owing to the lack of recorded information relating to the laboratories used by prior operators. Owing to the time lapsed after mine closure, the laboratory equipment cannot be inspected by the Author.

 

The nature, extent and results of QAQC procedures could not be validated or verified by the Author, owing to the lack of related information available on standards, blanks and duplicates, and their statistical analysis.

 

However, in the Author’s opinion, there is adequate confidence in the sampling, data collection and processing, which is sufficient for mineral resource estimation work that is completed in the current study. The Author’s opinion is supported by the following points:

 

·The mine’s production history (as summarised in Section 6.1).

 

·The significant amount of properly stored drill core still in reasonable condition at Lokken, demonstrating the sound procedures that must have been in place when the original samples were taken.

 

·Any verification steps made by the Author of available plans, sections and geologists’ notes relating to the sample data.

12 DATA VERIFICATION

 

During the site visit to Sulitjelma Project, numerous data verification steps were completed by the Author including the following:

 

·The site visits to Sulitjelma in December 2024, including both surface and underground reviews.
·A review of example Sulitjelma Project drill core at the NGU core storage in Lokken.
·A review of surface drill collar elevation data relative to surface topography data.
·A review of drill hole database integrity with respect to transcription errors from source materials.
·It is noted that additional reviews of drill hole databases against historical mine plans and cross-sections provided further validation of information.
·The analysis of density measurements of samples from drill core

 

12.1 Site Visit

 

The Author’s site visit on 2nd December 2024 covered the following:

 

-Visiting NSG’s head office in Fauske, Norway.
-Inspection of underground workings, including Rupsi tunnel and old stopes.
-Inspection of former Process Plant buildings at Sandnes (east end of lake).
-Visiting the museum facilities and inspection of the tunnel at the historical Giken mine.

 

In the Author’s opinion, the Rupsi tunnel is in very good condition. Copper mineralisation is visible on many walls near the stope excavations, as is the nature of the tight ductile folding. The stope workings are also accessible, the remnant pillars clearly visible. It seems likely that it would be possible, with enough time, to enter much further into the old workings and the check the location of some old drill hole collars. The tunnel into the historical Giken mine also appears to be in very good condition, having a working rail track, so that it can be used as a tourist destination for trips underground with a mine tram car in the summer months.

 

The existing processing building also appear to be in reasonable condition.

 

Unfortunately, due to snow cover at the time of the site visit to Sulitjelma Project, it was not possible to review the position of any historical surface drill hole collars in the field. See Item 12.3 for additional information regarding the validation and verification of drill collar locations.

12.2 Drill Hole Core Validation

 

The Author reviewed was made of drill hole core stored the NGU core storage facility at Lokken. A total of 9 drill holes were selected randomly for review, all of which are part of the database used in the current resource estimation work. Historical drill hole logs and other drillhole information are stored in the NGU facility at Lokken or at NSG’s offices in Fauske. The logs are in different forms, including typed out tables, pro-forma tables filled in by hand, hand-written notes and geological sections. Most of the data now available in Excel form corresponds with scanned copies of the original drill hole information.

 

The drill holes selected for review in the latest site visit came from the Rupsi, Hankabakken and Sagmo mines. Example photos from this review, with some key features highlighted, are shown in Figure 12-5 to Figure 12-7.

 

The Author’s observations from this review process include the following:

 

·The inventory of Sulitjelma Project drill hole core stored at Lokken appears to be generally accurate according to the available historical information. All drill holes requested, and their related core boxes could generally be found by the staff at Lokken.

 

·Some of the drill holes, mainly for waste intersections, have been reduced to “compressed” sections, in that 10cm of core has been taken from each metre of the original core, so boxes with a 10m length are representing 100m of actual drill core. This modification is recorded at the core inventory in a ‘%core available’ column.

 

·For some of the previously sampled intersections, there is no core left. The most likely explanation is that the original core was too small and/or friable to allow sawing, or due to additional samples being taken from the same intersections.

 

·For the sampled intersections with higher-grades, where the core is cut, it is still available for review, and it corresponds well with observations of sulphide mineralisation, generally pyrite and chalcopyrite.

 

·Rounded pyrite crystals are seen in many intersections, which is a very distinctive texture of the mineralisation at the Sulitjelma Project.

 

·Some of the sampled intervals are very short in the opinion of the Author, but in many instances, there is lot of apparent mineralisation that has not been sampled, which could be an opportunity for Blue Moon moving forward. This may be a function of the high cut-offs used historically when the mines were in production previously.

 

·The digitally logged lithology codes appear to correspond reasonably well with the Author’s observations of the selected drill core being reviewed in their core boxes.

 

·Most of the core boxes retrieved for the core review were in good condition. However, it was observed that some of the boxes appear to have been left open and as a result, the drill core appears to be in bad condition and extremely dirty. For any detailed relogging exercise, the drill core would need to carefully clean, and it may not be possible in some cases due to the deterioration and heavy staining.

12.3 Collar Data Validation

 

There are 48 surface drill holes in the Rupsi and Sagmo regions that were used in the current mineral resource estimation. The database collar elevations were compared by the Author with check elevations obtained from the reference National Height Model data, stemming from laser scanning and image matching (Hoydedata.no from 2016 and 2019). These elevation differences, either positive or negative, are summarised in Figure 12-8. An analysis by the Author shows that the median and mean differences are close to zero, indicating an absence of bias. However, the lowest 10% of the population are -7.5 m below and top 10% exceed by 4.5m the median and mean values.

 

Figure 12-8. Histogram of Check Collar Elevation Differences – Rupsi and Sagmo

 

 

 

For the Hankabakken II region, the supplied data of the 63 surface, drill hole collars had incorrect elevation data, stemming from use of a wrong topographic model. For the updated mineral resource estimation described in this report, the drill hole collar elevations were set to the elevations derived from the National Height Model data.

12.4 Database Validation

 

Various examples of the original drillhole logs were checked by the Author against the corresponding database entries, going back as far back as data originally created in 1962. The assay and lithology data did correspond reasonably well, validating that the data has been adequately transposed from the log sheets to the database.

 

During data verification steps completed by the Author, involving the import and desurveying of drill hole data for Rupsi, Dypet, and Hankabakan deposits, the only errors were as follows:

 

·The Author discovered that there was no survey data for holes 6 drill holes, out of a total of 518 drill holes. These holes without survey data were subsequently excluded.
·There was no lithology data for 62 Hankabakken holes. In cases where no lithology data was available, grade data only was used for interpretation purposes by the Author.

 

For the Sagmo deposit, the only errors identified by the Author were as follows:

 

·There was no survey data for two drill holes (81 and 82), out of a total of 89 drill holes; these two holes were therefore excluded.
·For drill hole lithology information, only 1 drill hole was lacking data.
·Three of the holes had assays, yet did not have corresponding drill collar information and downhole survey data. These holes were subsequently excluded.

 

The Author completed further validation and verification steps of database integrity through operations including:

 

·Range checks., on coordinate and Cu grade values.
·Drill hole combination reports. .
·Statistical analysis
·Visualisation and plotting.

 

The drill hole combination reports list out in detail all the data from each hole for each of the different files involved in combination and desurveying (determination of 3D sample positions) of all drillhole data.

 

The Author conducted visualisation and plotting checks including the generation of sections from the processed drillhole data and comparing these with the original hand-drawn profiles.

 

The assay database contained 3,728 samples, but these only contained Cu and Zn assays for the most part. Approximately 25% of the samples in the database had a reported Ag value in g/t or oz/t. For the mineral resource estimation process, the Author focused on Cu and Zn.

 

12.5 Drill Hole Data Validation

 

The Author conducted checks of the underground drill hole data against historical underground level and stope plans, as shown in the examples in Figure 12-9 to Figure 12-11. These historical plans showed a good correspondence with the underground collar positions in the digital database.

 

Drill hole and topographic data were also checked by the Author against historic hand-drawn profiles, as shown in Figure 12-12 and Figure 12-13. These comparisons also showed good correspondence.

12.6 Density Validation

 

The Author completed an analysis of recent density measurements of drill core from Sulitjelma Project. The density sample measurements stemmed from different lithologies as well as including both mineralised material and waste. Samples were tested from each of the different deposits being evaluated. . A summary of these density measurements is presented in Table 12-1.

 

The average density value obtained from these measurements helped to verify for the Author the global density value of 3 t/m3 that had been applied previously in the mineral resources estimation work.

12.7 Overview

 

The data verification procedures applied by the Author are described in sections 12.1 to 12.6 above.

 

Some limitations were encountered were verification:

 

·Drillhole Collars and Surveys. The Author could not independently verify any drillhole collars or orientation, owing to limited underground access during the mine visit, as well as snow cover during his visit preventing any checks of surface drillholes. However, the Author has used checked the supplied collar data against reference National Height Model data, and has checked hole traces on available historic plans and sections against desurveyed data from the supplied database. This has led the Author to believe that the supplied collar and survey data are adequate for resource estimation purposes, as described in this report.

 

·Sample Assays. The Author has been able to verify the database assay data, in terms of transposing data from the information on typed or hand-written logged sheets. However, there are no assay certificates available or information that allow verification of the procedures, protocols or standards of the laboratories used. Similarly, there are no records of the method of sample preparation. This means that the Author cannot fully verify the database assay data. However, it must be remembered that these sample assays were all created during a period of continuous mine production. There is recorded production of ore from all of the areas covered by the drilling used in the current estimate. This has led the Author to believe that the supplied assay data are adequate for resource estimation purposes, as described in this report.

13 MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

 

There is very little information regarding the historical processing facilities. However, Table 13 -1 shows a summary of the mill and process plant production from 1984. This summary shows a plant recovery for Cu of 97.5% in 1984.

More recent flotation testwork was completed by SGS Mineral Services in 2020, and these metallurgical results sent to Sarb Consulting (“Sarb”). The testwork results were used by Sarb in their own study to assess the environmental geochemical effects of potential tailings disposal in Langvatnet.

 

A flotation program was completed on a sample from Sulitjelma, in order to develop a flotation flowsheet and produce flotation tailings for long-term sub-water leach testing. Five rougher tests and three cleaner tests were performed and flotation results were obtained. The testwork was completed at SGS Vancouver Metallurgy, and included sample preparation, flotation, and product characterization.

 

A photograph of this sample is shown in Figure 13-1. This 36kg of material was collected from wall rock in the old Dypet mine, with average grades of 3.44%Cu and 0.5%Zn.

 

Adam WheelerSeptember 2025

Technical Report on the Mineral Resources of the Sulitjelma Project

Figure 13-1. Photograph of As-Received Sample- for SGS Flotation Testing

 

 

 

The sample was stage-crushed to -10 mesh, homogenized, split into 2 kg test charges, and preserved in a freezer prior to flotation. A head sample was submitted for an ICP-Scan and whole rock analysis (WRA). The sample was massive sulphide material and assayed 3.44% Cu, 0.5% Zn, 33% Fe, and 35.4% S.

 

Five rougher flotation tests were performed to optimize the flotation conditions in order to maximize the copper and zinc recovery into separate concentrates. The tests were performed at a primary grind size k80 of approximately 140 µm. Lime was added in both the copper and zinc circuits to increase the pH and depress pyrite. Collectors 3418A, SIPX, and 5100 were tested in the copper flotation while SIPX and 3894 were tested in the zinc flotation. Zinc sulphate was used to depress sphalerite in the copper circuit while copper sulphate was used to re-activate sphalerite in the zinc circuit.

 

Three cleaner tests were completed by employing the same flotation conditions. The first test was performed to confirm the flotation results while the other two tests were completed to produce tailings for environmental testwork. The overall test flotation flowsheet is presented in Figure 13-2.

SGS concluded that, based on the supplied sample, the material responded well to a conventional, sequential copper/zinc flotation flowsheet. Under the conditions established in open circuit flotation tests, copper recoveries of 90-95% can be expected for a concentrate grade of approximately 30% Cu can be expected, along with a zinc recovery of 50-55% for a concentrate grade of 45-50% Zn. Zinc “loss” to the copper concentrate was approximately 30%.

14.2 Interpretation

 

The interpretations of most of the VMS mineralization was made using the following procedure:

 

1.Identification of possible intersections, based on a cut-off of 0.36% Cu over length of 1 m, as well as marked lithological differences.
2.Interpretation of strings connecting VMS mineralization composite centres, with similar orientations and geometries to those shown on supplied geological profiles.
3.Assignment of a ZONE, to discriminate the different VMS mineralization.
4.Generation of DTMs describing VMS mineralization centrelines.

 

The Author noted the following difficulties with the interpretation:

 

·Erratic and sporadic layout of holes.
·Few specific geological characteristics to assist with vein identification.
·Many underground holes have very poor intersection angles.

 

Plans and 3D views of the vein centre DTMs are shown in Figure 14-6 to Figure 14-7 as well as Figure 14-10 to Figure 14-13. In the Rupsi-Dypet (“RD”) deposits, there are 8 separate zones have been interpreted, 3 zones in each the Hankabakken II (H2) deposit, and another 3 zones in Sagmo deposit (“SM”). Most of the boundaries of mineralization are extremely sharp, with much lower grades or unsampled core outside of the flagged intersections.

 

The lithology log data was used to create LeapFrog Geo (version 5.0.3) models of the principal lithologies. Example sections of the RD zone, for the interpreted mineralised zones with respect to local geology, are shown in Figure 14-8 and Figure 14-9.

Point plots of Cu vs Zn assays, on logarithmic scales, are shown in Figure 14-16. These show generally a positive correlation, with higher grades of Cu generally being accompanied by higher grades of Zn, particularly for RD and SM.

For each of the drill hole intersections, the true thickness was calculated, based on the average dip and dip direction of each zone. These derived true thickness values are plotted as histograms in Figure 14-17. All these distributions are skewed, with most of the thicknesses being below 5m, also with additional high thickness values. This reflects the sporadic thickening of the zones.

 

Figure 14-17. Histograms of Vein True Thickness Values

 

 

 

Histograms reflecting the different sample lengths used for each zone are show in Figure 14-18. For SM, fewer samples greater than 3m long were used in SM, with most of the samples being 0.5, 1m or 2m. For RD and H2, most of the samples taken were either 0.5m or 1m. It is evident that in general samples were broken on lithological breaks. Within consistent lithologies, it is not clear how the basic sample length was decided. But it must be remembered that the drill hole database covers a long historic interval of 36 years, which many changes in geological personnel.

14.4 Compositing

 

Samples within the interpreted zones were examined for outlier grades, using log-probability plots and decile analyses. This process enabled reasonable outlier levels to be determined, as summarised in Table 14-3. The results were applied as capping levels to the identified zone samples, prior to creating composites. In the case of RD and H2, 5 m downhole composites were created. The composite lengths were slightly variable to be the same lengths across each intersection. This is because parts of these zones are thicker than 5 m, so cross-mineralization composites would not provide enough detail for grade estimation into the mineral resource. For SM, only cross-mineralization composites were created, as the apparent true thickness is seldom above 10m.

REGION Cu % Zn %
RD 10 2
H2 4 0.7
SM 3.5 -

 

After the composites were created, an apparent true thicknesses for mineralization were determined, based on the drill hole orientation and the general orientation of each zone. The zone orientations are summarised in Table 14-4Table 14-5.

14.7 Volumetric Modelling

 

Separate volumetric block models were set up for each of the SD, H2 and RD deposits using the following procedure:

 

1.DTM Creation. A DTM was generated, based on the centre of each intersection. Some additional control strings were used to limit define the extent of each DTM.

 

2.Prototype. A model prototype was set up, using 10m x 10m blocks laterally, and columnar (variable height blocks in the Z direction) for SM and 5m high parent blocks for RD and H2.

 

3.Initial Zone Modelling. Based on the DTMs, zone blocks were generated with an artificially set 2m sub-cell height.

 

4.Thickness Estimation. Composite apparent true thickness values were estimated into zone sub-blocks, using inverse-distance weighting. The sub-cell heights were then set to the estimated thickness values.

 

A summary of the model prototypes is shown in Table 14-9, which are depicted in plan in Figure 14-23. Prior to estimation, blocks were split vertically into 5m high sub-cells.

14.8 Grade Estimation

 

Cu and Zn grade values were estimated into the zone sub-blocks, using inverse-distance weighting. Alternative values were also estimated using nearest-neighbour estimation, for validation purposes. The estimation parameters applied are summarised in Table 14-10.

14.9 Resource Classification

 

Definitions for resource categories used in this report are consistent with CIM (2014) definitions incorporated by reference into NI 43-101. In the CIM classification, a Mineral Resource is defined as “a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity, and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated, or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. Mineral Resources are classified into Measured, Indicated, and Inferred categories. A Mineral Reserve is defined as the “economically mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource” demonstrated by studies at pre-feasibility or feasibility level as appropriate. Mineral Reserves are classified into Proven and Probable categories.

 

All mineral resources estimated in this study have been classified as Inferred category. The rationale for this decision includes the following:

 

·A complete lack of QAQC samples in the available data sets. However, it is believed prior operators conducted their work in accordance with the best practices of the period. This is supported by the continued existence of core and related inventory data at Lokken.

 

·Extremely limited density data sets available.

 

·Limited underground geological mapping information.

 

·Dependence on some drill holes with very poor intersection angles.

14.10 Model Validation

 

For the mineral resource estimation, model validation included the following steps:

 

14.10.1       Cross-Sections

 

Cross-sections were prepared for each deposit and for each of their respective zones, then compared with the downhole composite data.

 

14.10.2       Global Comparison of Grades

 

The overall average sample and composite metal grades were compared with global average grades from each block model, as interpolated by inverse-distance weighting and nearest neighbour. These results are summarised below in Table 14-11, showing reasonably good correspondence.

 

Table 14-11. Global Comparison of Average Grades
FIELD ZONE Samples Composites Model ID Model NN
Cu_pct 2 0.88 0.91 0.78 0.74
Cu_pct 3 0.82 0.87 0.80 0.76
Cu_pct 5 1.03 0.93 0.97 0.94
Zn_pct 2 0.08 0.07 0.07 0.07
Zn_pct 3 0.24 0.13 0.13 0.15
Zn_pct 5 0.12 0.09 0.12 0.13

 

14.10.3       Local Comparison of Grades

 

Average grades along vertical columnar (50 m thick) block model slices were determined, derived from the inverse-distance and nearest neighbour grades. These were shown, along with the average composites’ grades and total tonnages on the same slices, in comparative swath plots for Cu, as shown in Figure 14-27. These graphs show that the average block model grades compare reasonably well with the corresponding average composite grades.

14.11 Resource Evaluation

 

For reporting purposes for a mineral resource estimate connected with a potential future underground mining operation, to comply with ‘reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction’ guidelines, the following steps were completed:

 

1)Cut-Off. An economic cut-off grade was determined, applicable to underground mining at Sulitjelma deposit, as summarised in Table 14-13. This also shows the parameters used to determine a copper-equivalent (Cu_Eq) grade values, derived from both Cu and Zn. The assumed recovery values come from the 2020 testwork. The Cu_Eq parameters stem from price, recovery and payability values. The cut-off applied for resource evaluation was 0.6% CuEq.

 

2)Constraining Volumes. A mineable shape optimisation (“MSO”) was run (Datamine process MSO), to generate reasonably practical constraining wireframe volumes for a mineral resource estimate. The parameters used in this optimisation are summarised in Table 14-12 This applied selectivity means that a small amount of sub-0.6%Cu_Eq material is taken within the estimation process (‘must-take’) and some +0.6%Cu_Eq material is excluded.

 

3)Evaluation. The estimation of Inferred mineral resources was broken down by zone and deposit, and they are summarised in Table 14-18, showing grades of Cu and Zn, as well as average apparent true thickness values. Grade-tonnage tables of the different regions, as well as overall, are shown in Table 14-14 to Table 14-17.

23 ADJACENT PROPERTIES

 

There are two other Exploration companies with exploration licenses in or close to Sulitjelma:

 

Sulis Green Future has exploration licenses immediately to the north of NSG’s licenses (Figure 23-1).

 

VMS Exploration have exploration licenses to the north as well as overlying NSG’s licenses. They do not have any Mining licenses in the Sulitjelma area (Figure 23-2).

 

This information is publicly disclosed and the source of this information is from the Norwegian Mapping Authorities web site (Kartverket).

 

The Author has not visited these other properties and is therefore unable to verify information pertaining to the presence of mineralization on the adjacent properties. These properties are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization associated with the Sulitjelma project that is the subject of this report. The information provided in this section is simply intended to provide examples of other properties that exist in the region. The Author is not aware of any historical estimates of mineral resources or mineral reserves relating to these adjacent properties.

25 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS

 

25.1 Risks and Uncertainties

 

There are several risks and uncertainties associated with the Sulitjelma project that should be considered; however, there are also several generic risks that are associated with nearly all exploration and mining project, including but not limited to the following:

 

·Sensitivity of the mineral resource to metal pricing
·Supply chain cost escalation for contractors and service providers
·Possible exploration permitting difficulties, related costs, and resulting delays

 

The project specific risks and uncertainties that the Author has identified are discussed in this section of the report.

 

25.1.1 Drill holes

 

There are some errors associated with elevation of surface drill hole collars. These errors can be mitigated with check measurements of surface drill hole collars using a differential GPS. It would also be recommended to have a LiDAR survey flown over the Sulitjelma Project area for cross checking with the differential GPS survey. Similarly, if and where possible, check surveys should also be made of available underground drill hole collars.

 

25.1.2 Density Measurements.

 

There is a considerable lack of available density data for samples collected from drill core associated with any of the deposits. This lack of density data creates a corresponding risk with respect to the tonnage estimation. The risk can be mitigated in the future by collecting more density measurements of available drill core, as well as proactively taking density measurements from drill core during any new diamond drilling.

 

25.1.3 Historic QA/QC Procedures.

 

There is almost no information available on historical QAQC. To help mitigate the risks associated with use of the historical drill hole data, a twin drilling program would be required. A full QAQC program would need to be followed for the sampling associated with such updated drilling. The twin holes need to duplicate a small proportion of the original drill holes for each deposit or at least end up with new mineralised intersections that are similar to the original, historical intersections. Statistical results between the twinned drill holes would need to demonstrate a good correspondence between the current and historical assay data.

 

Without such a verification exercise, it is unlikely that the historical drilling data would be acceptable to use for the categorisation of Indicated resources.

Technical Report on the Mineral Resources of the Sulitjelma Project

25.1.4 Mined-Out Areas

 

The extent of historic mined-out areas has been taken from old plans but should be validated. There is a risk that inaccuracies of this data of the historical mined-out areas could affect the estimation of currently available resources. This risk could be mitigated by updated volumetric surveys of mined out areas. Although access might be difficult in some areas, modern survey equipment, including the use of drones, could help with this analysis.

 

25.2 Results and Interpretations

 

There are several opportunities to improve the current results, that should be investigated further as part of the ongoing development of the Sulitjelma project.

 

Most of the regions evaluated in this study have some parts which are relatively densely sampled, in areas in or close to the old underground workings. Going down-dip, the drill hole spacings are generally much wider, with more reliance on much longer underground drill holes, often with very poor intersection angles, or on relatively few surface drill holes.

 

Further drilling campaigns could therefore have a significant effect on the development of the project, in terms of:

 

·The use of twin holes to help verify all or part of the historical drilling data.
·Increased Inferred resource quantities with more closely spaced drilling down-dip and along-strike, as well as extension of the mineralised resources.
·Estimation of some Indicated resources with even more closely spaced drilling. To achieve Indicated resource categorisation using any of the historical drill hole data, the results from twin drilling would have to help verify the use of all or part of the historical drill hole database.

 

Additional drilling should be designed to enable a significant proportion of the deposit to be reclassified into a higher category of confidence, such as Indicated category, as well as provide a more accurate interpretation of geology and mineralised zones. Stakeholders should be cautioned that additional drilling is not a guarantee for upgrading the confidence of an existing resource category.

25.3 Conclusions

 

The updated mineral resource estimate with an effective date of February 20th, 2025, has these conclusions from the Author and are as follows:

 

·The geological setting and character of the massive and semi-massive sulphide mineralisation, hosted within a chlorite-biotite breccia, as well as the Cu and Zn production history, are of sufficient merit to justify additional exploration expenditures.
·Most historic drill holes in the current database related to the mineral resources at Sulitjelma are located in 3 different regions, totalling 601 core drill holes a total meterage of 78,144 metres. The regions being evaluated are on the periphery of older mined-out areas.
·Historic drilling has identified strata-bound zones that are generally extensions of previously mined areas above, are well mineralized and remain open to depth.
·The Author has reviewed the available sample data, and although the there is a lack of QAQC information available, the Author is of the opinion that the database for the mineral resource is of sufficient quality to estimate mineral resources for an Inferred category.
·Mineral resources were estimated using a 0.6% copper-equivalent cut-off value for potential underground extraction. This cut-off level would also need to be studied further in the future.
·The mineral resource estimate for the Sulitjelma deposit is presented in Table 25.1 below.
·There is general support for the project, at the current stage of mineral resource development, from the affected communities in the area, as those communities will benefit from local employment. There is a good dialogue with people from the local reindeer district.

26 RECOMMENDATIONS

 

26.1 Sample Preparation, Analyses, and Security

 

·QAQC Program. Develop rigorous quality control and quality assurance (“QAQC”) policy for standards, blanks and duplicate samples for all on-going drilling and sampling work that meets or exceeds all industry best practice standards.
·CRMs. The QAQC program will also need to include the selection of certified reference material (“CRM”) that are sourced from a similar deposit type and possess metal values close to the typical grades of the Sulitjelma Project for copper and zinc. It is noted that when both gold and silver are better characterized, it might be needed to adjust the CRMs to accommodate the precious metal content.
·Laboratories. As well as using an ISO certified primary laboratory, the QAQC program will also require an umpire or secondary independent laboratory, which should also be ISO certified. A percentage of the new samples should be emitted using select analysis methodologies that are like the primary laboratory. This comparison will provide assurances that any variation of metal grades seen in the analytical certificates are valid and respected.
·Core Shack. A secure premises will be required for drill core logging that can also provide storage for the drill core and all returned pulps and reject materials from the analytical facilities.
·Density Measurement. Equipment needs to be put into place and procedures established for density measurement from the drill core of any new work program, as well as collect check density measurements from historical core at Lokken.
·Point Load Testing (“PLT”). To enhance any geomechanical measurements, a PLT needs to be acquired and used in the core shack on drill core from any new work program. These measurements compliment the collection of RQD and RMR during the core logging process, and can be used by engineers in the future for helping refine the ground support requirements.

 

26.2 Data Verification

 

·Relogging of Drill Core. A relogging program should be completed of Sulitjelma Project historical drill core stored at Lokken. This work would be more extensive than any previous relogging exercise; noting that relogging will be difficult, as much of the core is extremely dirty. If possible, some check sampling should also be completed while relogging is ongoing, although in most cases there is little, or no drill core left in the core boxes from the originally sampled intersections. As well, additional sampling of previously unsampled drill core should be done, noting that at current cut-off levels for the mineral resource estimate, there are potentially extended or new mineralised intersections that could warrant follow-up.
·Drilling Database. The current database needs to be enhanced so that YEAR identification data is recorded for each drill hole. This is very important, as in on-going verification and estimation work, it may be necessary to filter the historic data with relation to the date of age of the data available.
·Twin Drilling. A twin drilling program should be completed during the next work program, to help verify all or part of the historical drilling data for each deposit. NSG have already planned the extension of an existing underground adit, the Rupsi tunnel, for the purpose of providing drilling access. A suggested starting proportion of twinning could be 5%, with respect to historic drill holes for each deposit. When the assay results are returned from the laboratory and analysed, it can be determined if and where further twin drilling would be required.

 

Adam WheelerSeptember 2025

Technical Report on the Mineral Resources of the Sulitjelma Project 
 102

 

·Drill Hole Collars. During summer, historic surface drill hole collars should be found and resurveyed, where possible. Depending on the extent of underground access, the location and resurveying of underground drill hole collars should also be attempted.
·Mined-Out Extents. Again, depending on underground access, surveys should be made of mined-out areas adjacent to the evaluated resources. Modern equipment, including the use of drones, could help with this check survey process.
·Metallurgical Program. A full metallurgical audit should be undertaken regarding the production recoveries and any reports on file. Once there is new material available from drilling that is representative of the deposits, a new metallurgical program should be planned to encompass flotation test work, variability analysis, and lock cycle testing to ensure process design in the plant is setup for maximizing metal recovery.

 

26.3 Exploration Program and Budget

 

For further development of the project, the Author recommends the exploration program already outlined by NSG. This work covers extension of the existing Rupsi tunnel by 1,000 m, and then using of this new tunnel to complete approximately 10,000 m of diamond drilling from underground. The intent of the drilling is to potentially upgrade confidence for the resources in the Rupsi deposit from Inferred category to Indicated category and allow some geomechanical modelling.

 

A summary breakdown of this work program is presented below, along with associated estimated costs expected to total approximately 4.6 M USD (Table 26-1).

Work Planned Cost
  M USD
Extension of Rupsi Tunnel (1 km) 3.4
