Environmental Coordinator

Reporting Line: Environmental Manager

Location: Springer Mine and Milling Complex (Hybrid), Imlay, Nevada

Duration: Full Time

Blue Moon is advancing 4 brownfield polymetallic projects, including the Springer tungsten-molybdenum project, the Blue Moon zinc-gold-silver-copper project, the Apex germanium-gallium-copper in the United States and the Nussir copper-gold-silver project in Norway. All 4 projects are well located with existing local infrastructure including roads, power and historical infrastructure.

Zinc, copper and tungsten are currently on the USGS and EU list of metals critical to the global economy and national security and germanium and gallium are also on the USGS list of critical metals. Major shareholders include funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, Hartree Partners LP, Wheaton Precious Metals, Altius Minerals Corporation, Baker Steel Resources Trust, LNS and Monial.

The Springer Mine, located in Pershing County, is part of the rich mining landscape that has long defined northwestern Nevada. The project is best known historically as a tungsten-focused mining and processing complex that reflects several distinct phases of development and investment. Tungsten (mostly in the form of scheelite, a tungsten-oxide mineral) was the primary commodity targeted on the property, and the deposit was attractive because of its skarn-style mineralization and significant historical resources.
