VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 26, 2021 / Blue Moon Zinc Corp. (TSXV:MOON; OTC PINK:BMOOF) (the 'Company') announces it has closed a non-brokered private placement of $778,900 at a price of $0.08 per unit (the 'Unit') with each Unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (a 'Warrant'). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share at a price of $0.12 per share until July 25, 2023. The financing was increased from the $500,000 amount announced on January 12, 2021 due to substantial market interest. Proceeds of the financing will be for preparatory work for the upcoming Blue Moon drill program and general working capital.

'The strong market interest in our financing is indicative of the quality and potential of our Blue Moon Silver-Zinc project which is strategically positioned in California, USA. Being a past producer with excellent infrastructures and access, Blue Moon is able to provide a significant amount of zinc, silver, and other valuable electric metals for the growing technology products and services of US based companies. After a successful drilling campaign a year ago by our former joint venture partner, I am excited to be embarking on our own drill program to potentially expand the VMS footprint of Blue Moon Zinc-Silver project further in 2021.' Commented Patrick McGrath, CEO of Blue Moon.

The common shares forming part of the Units and any shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants are subject to a hold period which expires on May 26, 2021. The Company paid finder's fees totaling $17,220 and issued 215,250 finder's warrants under the private placement. Each finder's warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share at $0.12 per share until July 25, 2023.
