Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. is approaching the final commissioning stage of its Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor water treatment system at the Dome Mountain Gold Project, with full activation expected within 7 to 10 days. This milestone represents the last requirement before the company can commence blasting operations and transition to gold production.
Underground preparation work has begun this week to ensure operational readiness, including establishing emergency egress points, testing approximately 10% of bolting as per the Ground Control Management Plan, re-establishing ventilation systems, and preparing magazine storage units for explosives. Additional activities involve clearing waste piles, cleaning underground sumps, and drilling at the rollover to establish the first exposed ore face.
The company has strengthened its operational team with two key appointments. Michael Kendall joins as Underground Mine Supervisor, bringing over three decades of experience from notable Canadian operations including Eskay Creek, Rice Lake, and Red Chris. His expertise in mine planning, development, and production management, combined with his recognition as a Mine Rescue Captain, will be crucial as the project moves into steady-state production.
Dr. Francis Salifu has been appointed Environmental Manager, bringing over 15 years of mining-sector environmental management experience. With a PhD in Environmental Science and expertise in water quality modeling and biochemical reactor systems, Dr. Salifu previously worked with Conuma Resources, PwC, and the Alberta Energy Regulator, where he improved site compliance by more than 60%.
President and CEO Rana Vig stated that the company is "extremely close to begin mining" and emphasized that the MBBR commissioning is the final step before blasting can commence. Vig noted that these strategic hires reinforce the company's commitment to safety, environmental stewardship, and efficient execution as they target near-term cash flow from gold production.
The Dome Mountain project operates under one of only nine full mining permits issued in British Columbia since 2015, granted in February 2025. The company's production decision is based on existing mining infrastructure, past bulk sampling activity, and established mineral resources, though it acknowledges increased uncertainty when proceeding without a feasibility study.
