BLUE MOON METALS AND ALPHA FUTURE FUNDS S.C.S. ANNOUNCE NON-BINDING AGREEMENT TO COMBINE HOLDINGS IN THE SULITJELMA MINING DISTRICT, NORWAY
Blue Moon Metals Inc. and Alpha Future Funds SCS (AFF) have entered into a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) on April 2, 2026, to combine their wholly owned subsidiaries, Nye Sulitjelma Gruver AS (NSG) and VMS Explorations AS (VMS), into a single entity. AFF is a private fund based in Luxembourg investing in innovative technologies and mining projects.
NSG and VMS hold extraction and exploration permits over the historic Sulitjelma mining district in the Fauske municipality of Norway. The Sulitjelma mine produced over 470,000 tonnes copper and 120,000 ounces gold over a 100-year life until 1991 and benefits from excellent existing surface and underground infrastructure ready to be refurbished, including connection to abundant clean hydropower. A 2025 exploration campaign undertaken by VMS also made two new copper-gold discoveries and identified a further 18 drill targets based on a district-scale AEM survey.
Combining NSG and VMS is expected to allow for an integrated development opportunity prioritizing mining of targeted high-grade zones and centralized haulage and processing to strengthening project economics and streamline advancement toward production.
The LOI contemplates up to a four-month period to complete due diligence and negotiate a definitive agreement. Blue Moon and AFF are committed to restart the historic Sulitjelma mining district and re-establish Norway as a hub for metals and mining in Europe.
