Blue Lagoon Resources Receives Second Advance Payment for Dome Mountain Project
Vancouver, British Columbia — February 20, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. has received a second advance payment of approximately CAD $1.4 million from its milling partner, Nicola Mining, for 1000 tonnes of stockpiled mineralized material from the Company’s 100%-owned Dome Mountain Gold and Silver Project.
To date, approximately 3,700 tonnes of Dome Mountain mineralized material have been delivered to the mill site and are currently stockpiled pending processing.
Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (CSE: BLLG; OTCQB: BLAGF; FSE: 7BL) previously received an advance payment for 1,000 tonnes and has now received a second advance payment for an additional 1,000 tonnes. These advances are subject to final reconciliation following milling and settlement.
Processing of the Dome material was originally expected to occur earlier this month. To ensure the highest operational standards and recoveries, Nicola has conducted comprehensive plant cleanup and maintenance along with component replacements at their mill facility. Dome Mountain mineralized material is now being processed at the mill.
Peter Espig, President & CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., said that they value their relationship with Blue Lagoon and are excited to start this next chapter in their strategic partnership with the commencement of processing Dome Mountain mineralized material. He added that Blue Lagoon has demonstrated strong operational execution in advancing Dome Mountain to this stage, and they look forward to supporting their transition into consistent gold and silver production.
Rana Vig, President and CEO of Blue Lagoon Resources, stated that this is a meaningful milestone for Blue Lagoon. Advance payments of this scale reflect growing confidence in Dome Mountain as a reliable production asset. He added that the company is executing on their strategy: advancing production, shipping material, and building momentum and that as processing continues, they expect this to mark the next phase of consistent operational cash flow and continued growth for the company.
The advance payments provide working capital to support ongoing underground development and production activities as the Company advances Dome Mountain. The Company will provide updates as milling progresses and will report final reconciled grades and recoveries once processing is completed.
Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (CSE: BLLG; FSE: 7BL; OTCQB: BLAGF) is a Canadian-based, well-funded, growth-oriented mining company producing from its 100% owned Dome Mountain Gold Mine near Smithers, British Columbia. 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 H2 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.
