Blue Moon Technical Disclosure Review

VANCOUVER, Oct. 9, 2018 /CNW/ - Blue Moon Zinc Corp.(TSXV: MOON; US: BMOOF) (the "Company") announces that the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") has provided a letter to the Company with certain deficiency comments on the NI 43-101 technical report filed on SEDAR on November 13, 2017 (refer also to October 3, 2017 Blue Moon news release).  As a result, the mineral resources are not supported by a compliant NI 43-101 technical report and should not be relied upon until they can be supported by a compliant technical report.  The Company is working diligently with the report authors to address the deficiencies and file an updated technical report on the Blue Moon Project.

The Company also eagerly anticipates providing an update within the next several days on the progress of its current drill program at the Blue Moon Project.  The historic zinc-rich VMS deposit is being drilled for the first time in more than two decades after Blue Moon's receipt of long-term permits from Mariposa County over the summer.
