Massive Sulphides Intersected in First Blue Moon Drill Hole of 2019

VANCOUVER, December 12, 2019 - Blue Moon Zinc Corp. (TSX.V:MOON)(OTC PINK:BMOOF) ("Blue Moon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its exploration partner, Platina Resources Limited ("Platina"), reports drilling at the Blue Moon Project intersected visible massive and semi-massive sulphide mineralisation in the first drill hole of this year's program at the Blue Moon zinc-copper-gold project in California. The current drilling program is designed to determine the extent of the high-grade mineralisation cut in hole BMZ78 in 2018.

Hole BMZ79 intersected 40 metres of mineralisation from 410 metres (core length not true thickness). The intercept in BMZ79 is located approximately 30 metres from the mineralized intercept in BMZ78 (press release January 18, 2019). The location of the BMZ79 and photographs of the mineralization in the hole are shown in Figures 1 to 4. Hole BMZ80, the second hole in the program, is currently underway.

Platina is currently paying 100% of the drill program costs and can earn an initial 50% interest in the Blue Moon project by incurring $3 million including the drilling of a minimum 10,000 metres and payment to the Company of $250,000. Platina can increase its interests to 70% by incurring an additional $3.75 million including the completion of a pre-feasibility study and payment to the Company of $500,000.

The figure includes surface projection of the mineralised interval intercepted by BMZ79 (assay pending) and an approximate surface projection of the main VMS mineralised zone.

Figure 3: Massive sulphide mineralised interception at hole BMZ79 from 417.3 metres to 420.28 metres downhole depth. Sulphide mineralisation both follows cross-cut primary foliation in the hosting rhyolite rock. Sphalerite is pale brown; chalcopyrite bright yellow. Pyrite completes the visible sulphide assemblage.
