General Moly filed Chapter 11 in Colorado with 296 uploaded creditors, $606,093.86 in assets and $10.1 million in liabilities, framing the case around a prearranged mining-asset restructuring rather than an operating-business rescue source filing. The Lakewood, Colorado public company held an 80% interest in Eureka Moly, LLC, operator of the Mt. Hope molybdenum project, while POS-Minerals held the remaining 20%; its nondebtor subsidiaries included Nevada Moly, LLC and Kobeh Valley Ranch, LLC, which held water rights and permits tied to Mt. Hope source filing.

The filing followed a failed strategic-alternatives process in which XMS contacted more than 100 potential buyers or capital providers and 25 parties received confidential information, but no viable third-party deal emerged. The opening liquidity package was a $1.4 million DIP facility funded 71% by New Moly, LLC and 29% by former CEO Bruce Hansen, bearing 12% interest and designed to convert into reorganized equity through the plan transaction source filing.
