BLUE LAGOON SECURES $2 MILLION LINE OF CREDIT FROM NICOLA MINING ENHANCING FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY AHEAD OF PRODUCTION
Blue
Lagoon
Resources
Inc. has entered into a credit agreement with its toll milling partner,
Nicola Mining Inc., providing the company with a
$2-million line of credit, without any security against the company's mineral property or physical assets.
The facility, which carries a competitive interest rate linked to the three-month SOFR (secured overnight financing rate), is repayable over a 12-month term with interest-only payments during the first 11 months. At the company's discretion, the loan can be extended for an additional 12 months, with adjusted terms.
Importantly, the loan is structured to allow
maximum operational flexibility, with no requirement for project collateralization -- underscoring Nicola's confidence in the Dome Mountain gold project and its near-term production trajectory.
"We're extremely pleased to have the continued support of Nicola Mining, not only as our toll milling partner but also as a continued financial backer," said
Rana Vig, president and chief executive officer of Blue Lagoon. "This line of credit adds an extra layer of security to our already strong balance sheet and gives us added flexibility as we finalize preparations for gold production this summer. It's a clear sign that sophisticated investors recognize the value of Dome Mountain and its cash flow potential."
This agreement comes on the heels of Blue Lagoon's recently completed financing, which was fully subscribed by long-time existing shareholders that included Crescat Capital and Phoenix Gold fund as well as new strategic investors. The company remains
fully funded, with
no short-term debt
and
over $3.6-million in in-the-money warrants, positioning it strongly as it enters the final phase of development.
While the company may ultimately never need to draw on this facility, having access to it provides an important financial backstop. It ensures capital is available if needed to support production ramp-up, seize opportunity or manage any unforeseen short-term needs -- all without causing further dilution to existing shareholders.
Peter Espig, president and chief executive officer of Nicola Mining, commented: "We've worked closely with the Blue Lagoon team for some time and continue to be impressed by their methodical and disciplined approach. Successfully navigating B.C.'s rigorous permitting process, while also building a strong, trust-based relationship with the Lake Babine Nation, speaks volumes about their leadership. We are pleased to provide this credit facility and look forward to supporting their transition to gold and silver production."
If the company chooses to access this facility, Nicola Mining will maintain a short-term security interest over the company's gold and silver production from the Dome Mountain Gold project until the loan is repaid in full.
About Blue Lagoon Resources Inc.
Blue Lagoon Resources is a Canadian-based publicly listed mining company focused on building shareholder value through the aggressive development of its 100-per-cent-owned Dome Mountain gold project. The company is run by professionals with significant finance and mining experience and operates within a prime mining jurisdiction in British Columbia, Canada. With the granting of a full
mining permit,
a key milestone achieved in February, 2025 -- one of only nine such permits issued in British Columbia since 2015 -- Blue Lagoon is now focused on last preparatory activities and tasks related to the safe and secure opening of the Dome Mountain gold mine, targeting
Q3 2025
as the start of gold
production. The company's primary objective has always been to become a cash-flowing mining company, to ultimately deliver tangible monetary value to shareholders, state and local communities.
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.
