Blue Lagoon Resources -- President's Update

Executive Summary

• Blue Lagoon Resources shipped its first truckloads of mineralized material from the Dome Mountain Gold Mine to milling partner Nicola Mining, marking the transition from development to production.
• The initial 1,000 t shipment will be processed into concentrate and sold for gold and silver, initiating cash‑flow generation; the company expects higher‑grade material and increased volumes within 4–6 weeks as underground development progresses.
• Management disclosed a $2 million unsecured line of credit from Nicola Mining, an insider loan commitment of $500,000, and approximately $3.6 million in‑the‑money warrants to support liquidity during the ramp‑up phase.

Key Details

• First Shipment: 1,000 t of mineralized material trucked to Nicola Mining for processing; concentrate will be shipped to Ocean Partners for gold/silver settlement.
• Production Outlook: Anticipated shift from development‑dominant mining to stope‑production within the next 4–6 weeks, with grades expected to improve toward NI 43‑101 parameters and volumes to increase as new faces are exposed in the Boulder Vein.
• Cash Flow Expectation: Initial shipments will generate cash flow; management projects a “steady and growing stream of cash flow” as production ramps toward full capacity.
• Financing Arrangements:
• $2 million unsecured line of credit from Nicola Mining (existing milling partner and shareholder).
• President/CEO Rana Vig prepared to provide a personal loan of up to $500,000 if needed.
• Approximately $3.6 million in‑the‑money warrants outstanding.
• Liquidity Position: No additional equity financing anticipated at this stage; company aims to self‑fund growth through operating cash flow and existing credit facilities.
• Operational Milestones Achieved:
• Permits secured, mine commissioned, water‑treatment plant completed, blasting and underground development initiated.
• Over 50,000 m of drilling completed (2021‑2023) supporting resource confidence.
• Future Initiatives (next quarters):
• On‑site testing laboratory to reduce assay turnaround.
• Evaluation of on‑site/near‑site first‑stage processing to cut trucking costs.
• In‑fill drilling in early 2026 to expand the NI 43‑101 resource.
• Aggressive exploration program building on prior drill results.
• Technical Advisors Added: Dr. Quinton Hennigh (economic geologist), Peter Bojtos, P.Eng. (mining engineer), Yannis Tsitos, M.Sc. (exploration & mining executive).
• Strategic Positioning: Company is open to merger/acquisition discussions; believes current market valuation does not fully reflect asset value.
