With the granting of a full mining permit in February 2025 – one of only nine such permits issued in British Columbia since 2015 – Blue Lagoon Resources has achieved a critical milestone and is now focused on the final preparatory activities to safely and securely open the Dome Mountain Gold Mine. Targeting Q3 2025 as the start of gold production, the company is poised to transition to a cash-flowing mining operation.
Our primary objective has always been to become a self-sustaining mining company, leveraging the cash flow generated from Dome Mountain to fuel ongoing exploration and development. The project’s all-year road accessibility, located just a 50-minute drive from Smithers, B.C., further supports our commitment to efficient and consistent operations.
In addition to commencing mining operations in summer 2025, Blue Lagoon plans to use its cash flow to aggressively explore and advance the other 15 known high-grade gold veins on the property. To date, our exploration efforts have focused on just 10% of the 22,000-hectare property, leaving a vast 90% still unexplored. Our goal is to unlock the full potential of this highly prospective ground by targeting new discoveries identified during our extensive 50,000-meter drill programs conducted from 2021 to 2023.
Rana Vig – President & CEO
Rana Vig has over 35 years of business experience during which time he has helped to launch five business ventures in private industry. He has been involved in publicly traded companies since 2010, and from 2011 to 2016 he was the President of Musgrove Minerals, an Idaho focused gold and copper mining exploration company, and from 2013 to 2016, he was the Chairman and CEO of Continental Precious Minerals Inc., a TSX senior board listed mining exploration company with a focus on advancing one of the largest uranium deposits in the world located in Sweden.
A true entrepreneur with the ability to spot a trend, in 2018 he became the CEO of Lead Ventures and led its re-structuring by acquiring Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (CURA) which raised $520 million, making it the largest Canadian cannabis financing in history.
Shortly after that he took the helm of Rockbridge Resources, a failed Oil and Gas venture, which he re-structured by acquiring Harvest Health & Recreation (HARV) that closed a $300 million financing – making it the third largest cannabis financing of 2018.
Believing that the mining industry, and gold in particular, was about to enter into the next commodities super cycle, he turned his attention to his latest venture, Blue Lagoon Resources, a gold focused company that recently became one of only nine (9) exploration companies in British Columbia to receive a mining permit in the last 10 years.
In November 2017, he was invited to the Canadian Senate to receive the Senate 150th Anniversary Medal – medals which were awarded to Canadians actively involved in their communities who, through generosity, dedication and hard work, make their hometowns and communities, a better place to live.

Mining is tough business. We are mitigating this risk by ensuring we have experienced staff, consultants and advisors who have a successful track record of running mining operations
Being fully permitted and about to go in to production this summer. Generating immediate cash flow and not having to rely on the markets to continually raise money
1) Fully Permitted: One of only nine companies in BC to receive a mining permit since 2015. Fully funded with only $3M required to complete the water treatment plant (May 2025) and fund the first six weeks of operations. Production begins this July / Aug at 15,000 oz/year to start, with cash flow starting in September.
2) Operational Readiness: Toll Milling Agreement Secured with Nicola Mining (who after a site visit last year invested $1M and owns 6% of BLLG). High Recoveries & Grade have been confirmed with testing of 5,000 tonnes processed at the mill with 95% gold recovery at 9 g/t.
3) Blue Sky Potential: 50,000m drilled since 2020 indicates a clear path to 1M+ high-grade ounces (9 g/t +) on the main vein where mining will commence summer 2025, plus numerous additional high value targets identified across our 22,000-hectare property.
