Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. is approaching the final commissioning phase of its Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor water treatment system at the Dome Mountain Gold Project, marking the last requirement before initiating blasting operations. The company anticipates full activation of the MBBR system within the next 7 to 10 days, which will complete the water treatment plant commissioning and enable immediate commencement of blasting activities. This milestone represents a critical step toward production launch at the British Columbia-based gold project.
Underground preparation work has begun this week to ensure operational readiness, involving multiple safety and infrastructure enhancements. These preparations include establishing emergency egress exit points, conducting bolt testing, re-establishing ventilation systems, clearing magazine storage units, moving waste piles, and cleaning underground sumps. Concurrently, drilling operations at the rollover to establish the first exposed ore face are underway as part of comprehensive preparatory activities.
The company has strengthened its operational leadership with two strategic appointments to support the transition to production. Michael Kendall joins as Underground Mine Supervisor, bringing more than thirty years of hands-on underground mining experience from prominent Canadian operations including Eskay Creek, Rice Lake, and Red Chris. His extensive background in mine planning, development, and production management, combined with his safety leadership as a recognized Mine Rescue Captain, will be crucial as Dome Mountain progresses toward steady-state production.
Dr. Francis Salifu has been appointed as Environmental Manager, contributing over fifteen years of mining-sector environmental management expertise. Holding a PhD in Environmental Science with specialization in ML/ARD mitigation, 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%. His skills in stakeholder engagement with regulators and Indigenous communities highlight Blue Lagoon's dedication to environmental compliance and responsible mining practices.
President and CEO Rana Vig emphasized that assembling the appropriate team is essential as the company prepares for mining operations and near-term cash flow generation. These strategic appointments reinforce Blue Lagoon's commitment to safety protocols, environmental stewardship, and efficient project execution at Dome Mountain. The company operates within British Columbia's prime mining jurisdiction and received a full mining permit in February 2025, one of only nine such permits issued in the province since 2015.
