Episode notes
Rapid Pivot To A Hub And Spoke Critical Minerals Platform
- Blue Moon pivoted from a small shell to a multi-asset critical minerals platform using a hub-and-spoke model anchored by Springer Mill.
- Management rapidly added Norway assets, Springer tungsten, and Apex to convert permitted, brownfield sites into near-term production.
Lesson From Adventus Pushed Blue Moon Strategy
- Christian recounted lessons from Adventus: greenfield, third-world permitting took too long and eroded value, prompting a shift to first-world, brownfield, permitted projects.
- That experience directly informed the acquisition strategy for Blue Moon and focus on quick, permit-ready assets.
Springer Tungsten Is A High Value Domestic Asset
- Springer contains a historical tungsten deposit plus an APT circuit, making it valuable for domestic tungsten supply and downstream upgrading.
- At current tungsten prices the historical resource/ reserve implies about a billion-dollar NPV8 after tax in preliminary assessment.
