what happened
Blue Moon Metals said it has contracted RAM Enterprise of Elko, Nevada, to refurbish the processing plant at its Springer tungsten project in Imlay. Nordmin Engineering will provide engineering as part of the RAM team. The plant refurbishment is expected to finish in the fourth quarter of 2027.
The company also engaged Wood Group USA as Owner's Engineer to oversee design, procurement and construction. Blue Moon separately signed a binding agreement to buy an accommodation site near Springer, with 31 RV sites and 5 mobile home sites, for US$1.7 million in cash. Closing is expected in December 2026.
The company's President and COO, Skott Mealer, said a restart is targeted for late 2027. He noted that tungsten has not been mined commercially in the United States since 2015.
why it matters
The news concerns a niche tungsten market and fits into the broader debate over domestic supply of metals critical to industry and defense. For wider markets the impact is limited, since the project is still in refurbishment and no production volumes have been announced.
