Blue Lagoon Resources Commences Underground Mining Operations at Dome Mountain Gold Project

Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. has achieved a major operational milestone with the commencement of underground mining activities at its Dome Mountain Gold Project near Smithers, British Columbia. The company received its first delivery of blasting material on site and completed its initial underground blast, officially transitioning from development to active mining operations.

This development represents one of only nine mining projects in British Columbia to receive a mining permit since 2015, highlighting the significance of this achievement within the province's mining sector. The Dome Mountain project's progression to active mining positions Blue Lagoon to generate near-term cash flow while continuing exploration of what the company describes as district-scale potential.

Initial underground development and blasting operations will focus on accessing high-grade zones that were previously defined through extensive drilling and sampling programs. The company has established a toll milling agreement with Nicola Mining Inc., where mined material will be transported for processing. This arrangement provides an efficient pathway to gold concentrate sales and revenue generation without requiring Blue Lagoon to construct its own milling facility.

The mining commencement follows recent commissioning of Dome Mountain's advanced Water Treatment Plant, which was built to meet all regulatory discharge standards. The facility has capacity to treat up to 400 liters per minute, representing more than six times the current required capacity. This infrastructure investment demonstrates the company's commitment to responsible mining practices as it advances toward gold production.

Blue Lagoon's production decision at Dome Mountain is notable because it is not based on a traditional feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Instead, the company is relying on existing mining infrastructure, past bulk sampling and processing activity, and established mineral resources. This approach carries increased uncertainty and higher risk compared to conventional mining development pathways.

The company trades on multiple exchanges including the Canadian Securities Exchange under symbol BLLG, with additional listings on OTCQB as BLAGF and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as 7BL. Investors can access regulatory filings and additional corporate information through the company's profile on New Media Wire.

With mining operations now underway, Blue Lagoon moves closer to its primary objective of becoming a cash-flowing mining company. The successful transition to production could deliver tangible value to shareholders while contributing to local economic development in the Smithers region of British Columbia.
