BLUE LAGOON REACHES 100 TONNES PER DAY MILESTONE, DOUBLES PRODUCTION CREW WITH SECOND MINING CONTRACTOR AND ADVANCES TOWARD 150 TONNES PER DAY

Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. has provided an operational update from its 100-per-cent-owned Dome Mountain gold and silver mine near Smithers, B.C., reporting a series of significant operational and organizational milestones as the ramp-up toward steady-state production continues.

Production reaches 100 tonnes per day

Dome Mountain has achieved consistent underground production of 100 tonnes per day, a key near-term target outlined in Blue Lagoon's January operational update (see news release dated Jan. 5, 2026). This milestone reflects the resolution of early-stage commissioning constraints and the subsequent establishment of consistent underground production cycles.

The company has engaged a second mining contractor, doubling the underground production crew from two to four shifts, and will be deploying additional mobile equipment to the mine site. With multiple working spaces now open across the mine, the increased crew capacity and equipment will enable the company to advance toward the 150-tonne-per-day target in the coming weeks.

Milling and revenue update

To date, Blue Lagoon has completed three sales of Dome Mountain gold and silver concentrates to Ocean Partners U.K. Ltd. for a total sum of approximately $4.1-million (U.S.). Additional quantities of mineralized material have been processed by the company's milling partner, Nicola Mining, and are awaiting delivery and final settlement. Further sales of concentrates will be announced in due course.

Approximately 2,000 tonnes of mineralized material is currently stockpiled at the mine site and the Nicola mill site, with regular trucking shipments to Nicola continuing.

Assay laboratory is now operational

The company has also built a local fire assay laboratory near the town of Smithers, which is now fully operational. The lab is accelerating the turnaround of grade-control assays, directly supporting mine planning and operational decision making at Dome Mountain. In addition, the lab will now conduct mill production and settlement assays for Dome Mountain material processed at Nicola, a function previously performed externally. This brings a meaningful improvement to the speed and efficiency of the reconciliation and invoicing process and is expected to materially reduce the time between milling and final settlement with Ocean Partners going forward.

Team expansion and planning ahead

Blue Lagoon has made a number of additional hires across operations as the company continues to grow its operational team in line with the expanding scope of underground activities. Planning is under way for an exploration drill program at Dome Mountain, expected to commence in late Q3 2026 and financed from internally generated cash flow. The drilling campaign is intended to include both infill drilling and a work program targeting new areas along Dome Mountain's largely unexplored 18-kilometre strike length.

To ensure the site can support continuing production with an expanded work force alongside an active drill program, a site infrastructure upgrade plan is being scoped and will be advanced in the coming months.

The company also announces the grant of an aggregate of 3.85 million stock options to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the company pursuant to its omnibus equity incentive plan. The options are exercisable at a price of 77 cents per share and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The grant is subject to approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Additionally, the company received a $500,000 unsecured, interest-free bridge loan from its president and chief executive officer to support short-term working capital requirements while awaiting the settlement of concentrates.

During the start-up phase of mining operations, the cash settlement cycle from mining through to final payment by Ocean Partners was significantly extended beyond typical timelines. This insider loan serves to bridge this transitional period, with no similar requirement anticipated going forward.

The interest-free loan is due on March 20, 2027, or may be paid earlier at the company's option. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the company will issue an aggregate of 129,870 bonus common shares and 129,870 warrants to the lender, at a price of 77 cents per share, for a period of two years, being the market price at the time the loan agreement was entered into. The lender is a related party to the company and the loan constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation requirements contained in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and the minority shareholder approval requirements contained in Section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101.

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.
