BLUE LAGOON SURPASSES $10 MILLION IN REVENUE AS DOME MOUNTAIN PRODUCTION RISES TO 125 TONNES PER DAY
Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. has now received more than $10-million in revenue from gold and silver sales from its 100-per-cent-owned Dome Mountain gold and silver mine, located near Smithers, B.C., and underground mining production levels have risen to a consistent 125 tonnes per day.
Revenue received to date from Ocean Partners reflects provisional payments on concentrate sales, with certain amounts remaining subject to final settlement by the buyer once smelting is complete and the final gold and silver content of each shipment has been assayed and tallied. Blue Lagoon recorded its first sale of gold and silver in December, 2025, meaning the company has generated more than $10-million in payments in just over seven months of operations -- a period that also included the declaration of commercial production on May 19, 2026.
Production continues to increase. When commercial production was declared on May 19, 2026, underground mining rates had exceeded an average of 90 tonnes per day for more than 30 consecutive days. Production levels have since risen to 125 tonnes per day, an approximately 40-per-cent increase, as the operation advances toward the mine's permitted production limit of 150 tonnes per day.
A key driver of this progress has been the significant underground development completed since mining began. A substantial portion of the cash flow generated at Dome Mountain thus far has been reinvested directly back into the mine to advance development headings in order to open up additional working faces. This is essential to increasing and sustaining production over the long term. This reinvestment has extended beyond the underground, with continued investment in water treatment, environmental systems, and site infrastructure, with further investment planned in the near term. While the company's production ramp-up has, as expected, included both ups and downs, the combination of expanded working faces, two crews operating concurrently and production closing in on a 150-tonne-per-day target means Dome Mountain is now achieving consistent steady-state mining.
"Crossing $10-million in revenue is an important marker for Blue Lagoon, but what matters most to me is how we got here," said Rana Vig, president and chief executive officer of the company. "Rather than simply chasing a daily production number, we have reinvested a substantial amount of our cash flow back into the mine -- into development that opens up new working faces, into water treatment, and into the environmental systems that allow us to operate responsibly. A ramp-up in production never progresses in a straight line, and ours has had its share of challenges, but that reinvestment is exactly what positions us to sustain production for years to come."
Mr. Vig continued: "With production now at 125 tonnes per day and a near-term production target of 150 tonnes per day, Dome Mountain is reaching its potential. That is the foundation everything else is built on -- and it sets the stage for the next phase of growth as we prepare to put drills back on the ground later this fall."
Site expansion and coming drill program
Preparations for the company's coming drill program continue to advance. Quotes have been received from contractors for the planned expansion of the Dome Mountain site, with the work designed to accommodate the drilling crews expected to arrive this fall in addition to the expanded work force already operating at the site.
Big Onion project option
The company also announces that it has entered into an option to purchase agreement dated April 7, 2026, and amended June 30, 2026, whereby the company granted an option on the Big Onion project to a private British Columbia company. The option may be exercised in exchange for the payment to the company of $500,000 in cash over two years and the issuance of two million shares of the property optionholder over three years subject to the holder completing a going-public transaction within a prescribed period of time. In addition, the holder must incur at least $2-million of exploration expenditures on the property within four years in order to complete the exercise of the option. The company will retain a 1.125-per-cent net smelter returns royalty on the Big Onion property, which may be reduced at the rate of $250,000 per 0.25 per cent.

About Blue Lagoon Resources Inc.
Blue Lagoon Resources is a Canadian-based, well-financed, growth-oriented mining company that achieved commercial production at 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. During the second half of 2026, the company plans to continue reinvesting 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 has not based 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.
