Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (CSE: BLLG; OTCQB: BLAGF; FSE: 7BL) announced that it has been awarded the 2026 Sustainability Award by the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), one of the mining industry's most respected global honours. The award, presented on March 3, 2026, at the PDAC Convention in Toronto, recognizes organizations demonstrating outstanding leadership in environmental stewardship and community engagement within the mineral exploration and mining sector.
Blue Lagoon received the award for its commitment to responsible development and strong partnership with the Lake Babine Nation at the Dome Mountain Gold and Silver Project in British Columbia. The award was accepted by Rana Vig, President & CEO, alongside Bill Cronk, Chief Geologist and Project Manager. Chief Wilfred Adam and Deputy Chief Bessie West of the Lake Babine Nation attended the ceremony to underscore the partnership's strength.
“Our partnership with Blue Lagoon Resources is built on respect for our Yintah and a shared commitment to protecting the land while creating meaningful opportunities for our people,” said Chief Wilfred Adam. “Seeing this work recognized on a global stage like PDAC is something we are proud of, and it reflects what can be achieved when industry and First Nations work together in a spirit of trust and responsibility.”
Rana Vig commented, “For a small company like Blue Lagoon, this makes the recognition even more meaningful. This recognition belongs as much to the Lake Babine Nation as it does to our team. They welcomed us into their territory and shared with us the meaning of Yintah - that the land is sacred and our responsibility is not simply to benefit from it, but to protect it. Their trust has helped shape the way we operate and the company we have become.”
The PDAC Awards, first established in 1977, recognize outstanding achievements worldwide. The Convention brings together more than 27,000 industry professionals from over 125 countries annually. Blue Lagoon's Dome Mountain Gold Project recently transitioned into production, demonstrating the company's commitment to responsible mining practices and meaningful Indigenous partnerships.
Blue Lagoon Resources is a Canadian-based, growth-oriented mining company producing from its 100% owned Dome Mountain Gold Mine near Smithers, British Columbia. In February 2025, the company 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 is processed under a long-term toll milling agreement with Nicola Mining. In H2 2026, the company plans to reinvest internally generated cash flow into exploration to expand its resource base.
