First up, Blue Moon Zinc (MOON.V) has received notice that its NI 43-101 compliant technical report did not meet industry standards and must be redone.
The B.C. Securities Comission (BCSC) returned Blue Moon Zinc’s report with “certain deficiency comments” regarding the initial report, filed in November 2017.
Due to these deficiencies, the BCSC has called the report’s validity, and the mineral resources listed within, into question.

Indicated resources for the project were previously listed at approximately 3.8 million tons with a grade of 8.3% zinc equivalent for approximately 377 million pounds of zinc, while indicates resources were gauged at 4.1 million tons with a grade of 7.8% zinc equivalent for approximately 395 million pounds of zinc.
