BLUE LAGOON RESOURCES COMPLETES SECOND SALE OF $1.4 MILLION OF DOME MOUNTAIN MINERALIZED MATERIAL - MILLING NOW UNDERWAY
Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. has received a second advance payment of approximately $1.4-million from its milling partner, Nicola Mining Inc., for 1,000 tonnes of stockpiled mineralized material from the company's 100-per-cent-owned Dome Mountain gold and silver project.
To date, approximately 3,700 tonnes of Dome Mountain mineralized material have been delivered to the mill site and are currently stockpiled pending processing. Of this amount:
-
The company previously received an advance payment for 1,000 tonnes.
-
It has now received a second advance payment for an additional 1,000 tonnes.
These advances are subject to final reconciliation following milling and settlement.
Processing of the Dome material was originally expected to occur earlier this month; however, to ensure the highest operational standards and recoveries, Nicola has conducted comprehensive plant cleanup and maintenance, along with component replacements, at its mill facility. Now that these operational improvements are complete, Dome Mountain mineralized material is being processed at the mill.
Peter Espig, president and chief executive officer of Nicola Mining, commented:
"We value our relationship with Blue Lagoon and are excited to start this next chapter in our strategic partnership with the commencement of processing Dome Mountain mineralized material. Blue Lagoon has demonstrated strong operational execution in advancing Dome Mountain to this stage, and we look forward to supporting their transition into consistent gold and silver production."
Rana Vig, president and chief executive officer of Blue Lagoon Resources, stated:
"This is a meaningful milestone for Blue Lagoon. Advance payments of this scale reflect growing confidence in Dome Mountain as a reliable production asset. We are executing on our strategy: advancing production, shipping material and building momentum. As processing continues, we expect this to mark the next phase of consistent operational cash flow and continued growth for the company."
The advance payments provide working capital to support continuing underground development and production activities as the company advances Dome Mountain. The company will provide updates as milling progresses and will report final reconciled grades and recoveries once processing is completed.
About Blue Lagoon Resources Inc.
Blue Lagoon Resources is a Canadian-based, well-financed, growth-oriented mining company producing from its 100-per-cent-owned Dome Mountain gold mine near Smithers, B.C. Led by a team with deep mining and finance experience, the company operates in one of the world's most attractive mining jurisdictions.
In February, 2025, Blue Lagoon achieved a major milestone with the granting of a full mining permit -- one of only nine issued in British Columbia since 2015 -- and has since commenced underground mining operations. Mineralized material from Dome Mountain is processed under a long-term milling agreement with Nicola Mining. Beginning in the second half of 2026, the company plans to reinvest internally generated cash flow into near-mine and regional exploration to further expand its resource base on its extensive property.
With a strong commitment to sustainability, community and first nation engagement, Blue Lagoon's objective is to be a profitable, cash-flowing gold producer while creating lasting value for shareholders and stakeholders alike.
The company is not basing its production decision at Dome Mountain on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The production decision is based on having existing mining infrastructure, past bulk sampling and processing activity, and the established mineral resource. The company understands that there is increased uncertainty and, consequently, a higher risk of failure when production is undertaken in advance of a feasibility study.
We seek Safe Harbor.
