Blue Moon Metals Advances Nussir Copper Project in Norway with Strategic Developments
Blue Moon Metals (BMM), a Canadian mineral exploration company, is advancing the development of the Nussir copper project in Finnmark, Norway. The project, which was previously a copper-silver-gold operation, is now being developed as an underground mine. BMM acquired full ownership of the Nussir property in February 2025. A feasibility study completed in April 2026 outlined a 13-year life of mine with an initial capital requirement of $184 million. The project is expected to begin hot commissioning in August 2027, with the first production targeted for December 2027. The Nussir deposit, along with the Ulveryggen deposit, is located near Repparfjord in Kvalsund, within Hammerfest Municipality. The project has been recognized as a Strategic Critical Raw Material Project by the European Commission under the 2023 EU Critical Raw Materials Act.
