Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (CSE:BLLG, FSE:7BL, OTCQB:BLAGF) has reported finalized results for its first gold and silver concentrate produced from the 100%-owned Dome Mountain mine near Smithers, British Columbia. The concentrate contained 992 ounces of gold and 4,181 ounces of silver, according to final assay and settlement information from Ocean Partners Holdings Ltd.

#Material transported and processed

From mid-November 2025 through September 30, 2026, Blue Lagoon transported 21,400 tonnes of mineralized material from Dome Mountain to Nicola Mining Inc.’s milling facility near Merritt, British Columbia. Approximately 17,400 tonnes had been processed, while a further 4,000 tonnes were at the facility awaiting processing. The company said shipments were continuing weekly.

Processing of Dome Mountain material began in February 2026. The initial campaign covered 5,002 dry metric tonnes at Nicola’s 150 tonne per day facility. Before milling, that material was estimated to contain 1,200 ounces of gold at approximately 7.0 g/t Au. The campaign produced 341.6 DMT of concentrate.

#Subsequent concentrate remains subject to final results

Later milling campaigns produced and shipped approximately 875 DMT of additional concentrate through September 30, 2026. Final assay and settlement results for that material were still outstanding. As a result, the gold and silver ounces associated with those shipments were not included in the reported 992 ounces of gold and 4,181 ounces of silver.

Blue Lagoon said mill-feed grades in the months after the initial campaign increased to approximately 8.0 to 10.0 g/t Au. The company also reported that gold recovery was currently averaging approximately 92%, while concentrates had generally contained approximately four ounces of silver for every ounce of gold.

#Provisional payments and settlement conditions

Blue Lagoon said it had received approximately CDN $16.5 million from payments connected with gold and silver concentrate shipments from Dome Mountain material. The payments represented approximately 85% of the provisional value of the applicable shipments.

The remaining balance is payable after final assays and completion of the settlement process. Provisional payments are subject to adjustment based on final weights, assays and metal prices and may result in amounts payable to or by the company. Blue Lagoon said the amounts received are unaudited, gross of operating and other costs, and are not an indication of profitability.

#Mining and underground development continue

Mining and underground development remain underway at Dome Mountain, with material being transported to Nicola for further milling and processing. Blue Lagoon said development work is intended to provide additional working areas and greater operating flexibility.

The company said it plans during the second half of 2026 to continue reinvesting internally generated cash flow into near-mine and regional exploration to further expand its resource base. It also plans to issue updates as additional concentrate lots receive final and binding assays and as further operational and exploration milestones are achieved.

#Production risk disclosure

Blue Lagoon stated that its production decision at Dome Mountain was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The company said this creates increased uncertainty and a higher risk of economic and technical failure.

Other risks identified by the company include variations in mined grades and recoveries, mining and processing performance, the availability and performance of third-party milling and transportation services, the timing of assays and concentrate settlements, commodity prices, operating costs, and regulatory and permitting matters.
