Blue Lagoon Hits 36.7 G/T AU AND 580 G/T AG OVER 0.98 METERS, 22.8 G/T AU AND 42 G/T AG OVER 1.37 METERS, 25.8 G/T AU AND 74 G/T AG OVER 1.45 METERS
Blue Lagoon Resources has announced promising results from its 2021 drill program at the Dome Mountain Gold Project. Highlights include high gold and silver grades, such as 36.7 g/t Au and 580 g/t Ag over 0.98 meters from hole DM-21-164. A total of 7,176.5 meters were drilled across 31 holes, confirming the Boulder Vein's high-grade nature. The first phase is complete, with plans to resume drilling after snow melt. Historical mineralization data suggests further exploration potential, especially at the Forks Structure located south of the Boulder Vein.
- High gold and silver grades confirmed: 36.7 g/t Au and 580 g/t Ag over 0.98 meters.
- Completed 7,176.5 meters of drilling in 31 holes, validating the Boulder Vein's high-grade mineralization.
- Potential for additional resources at the Forks Structure with a historical resource estimate of 20,000 tonnes at 23.6 g/t Au.
- None.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 13, 2021 / Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (the "Company") (CSE:BLLG) (FSE:7BL) (OTCQB:BLAGF) is pleased to provide the following drilling update and results from the 2021 phase one drill program on its Dome Mountain Gold Project, an all-year accessible property located a short 50-minute drive from Smithers BC., which holds both an Environmental Management Act Permit (EMA) and a Mining Permit providing for up to 75,000 tonnes production annually.
Highlights as follows:
- DM-21-164 36.7 g/t Au and 580 g/t Ag over 0.98 meters
- DM-21-165 11.08 g/t Au and 34.39 g/t Ag over 4.13 meters including 22.80 g/t Au and 42 g/t Ag over 1.37
- DM-21-168 25.8 g/t Au and 74 g/t Ag over 1.45 meters
"We are very pleased with the results to date from our 2021, 20,000-meter drill program, which continue to confirm the hi-grade nature of the Boulder Vein," said Rana Vig, President and CEO of Blue Lagoon Resources. "With the first phase now complete with 7176.5 meters drilled in 31 holes, we're getting ready to recommence drilling once all the snow melts and break-up is complete with ground conditions becoming more favorable for our drill crew to mobilize," he added.
The first phase of this drill program at Dome Mountain also included 3 drill holes targeting the Forks Vein zone, located 500 meters south of the Boulder Vein. The Forks Vein zone is a shallow dipping structure to the north.

Mineralization encountered in holes DM-21-154 and DM-21-156 hit the Forks Structure which contains quartz veins with variable sulfides and up to
The mineralized structure is shallow dipping to the northeast and remains open along strike and down dip. Holes 154 and 156 hit the downdip segment 150 meters from historic workings where a shaft and drifting encountered the mineralized zone at 35 meters depth.
"These holes targeted mineralization identified from holes drilled in the 1980's and confirmed the high-grade nature and trend of the mineralized Forks Structure" said William Cronk, Chief Geologist for Blue Lagoon Resources. "Further drilling will test for continued mineralization to the NE along the down dip trend with a goal to follow this mineralized structure to its intersection with the Boulder Vein System," he added.

The recent results include assays for 16 holes that targeted the Boulder Vein and 3 holes that targeted the Forks Structure (Figure 1). Significant highlights from the Boulder Vein drilling are as follows in Table 1.

The assay results from DM-21-164 continue to confirm the high-grade gold and silver tenure of the Boulder Vein. DM-21-141, 159 and 162 to 169 were designed to test gaps within historic drilling within the eastern portion of the Boulder Vein. The hanging wall of the Boulder Vein also hosts several gold and silver bearing veins and future drilling and modeling could pose a significant addition to the total Dome Mountain Gold Project resource. This includes the Argillite Zone which is in the western half of the known Boulder Vein.
DM-21-140, 144, 146 and 148 were designed to test the downdip extension of the Boulder Vein. DM-21-150 intersected 8.0 meters assaying 4.51 g/t Au and 8.00 g/t Ag (including 9.79 g/t Au and 8.0 g/t Ag from 212.0 to 214 meters) and 2.00 meters from 442.00 meters assaying 4.58 g/t Au and 6.00 g/t Ag which is located 200 meter down dip to the south from DM-20-139 which intersected 17.69 g/t Au and 70.41 g/t Ag from a depth of 335.47 to 338.6 meters in 2020 (press release Dec 9 2020).
DM-21-144 intersected 4.00 meters of mineralization from a depth of 326.00 meters assaying 2.64 g/t Au and 7.00 g/t Ag which is 60 meters west along strike from DM-20-139. These intercepts support the potential for further mineralization for the Boulder Vein at depth and along strike.
Gold mineralization at Dome Mountain consists of steeply dipping quartz carbonate veins (the Boulder Vein) with sulfide as fine disseminations and blebs up to and including semi- to massive sulphide dominated by pyrite with lesser sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena. Locally chalcopyrite is greater than pyrite. Base metal mineralization can be significant.
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL
All core analyses were completed by Bureau Veritas out of Vancouver. Core selected for sampling was cut with a core saw in half with one half bagged for shipping. Strict chain of custody storing, and shipping protocol were maintained. Core was crushed, split, and pulverized with 250 grams passing 200 mesh. Each sample was analyzed by MA370 4-acid digestion ICP with ES finish and FA 150 fire assay with ICP-MS finish, and all Au overlimits <1ppm were analyzed with FA 550 fire assay and gravimetric finish. Standards and Blanks were inserted by Company staff. The sampling program was undertaken by Company personnel by and under the direction of Dr. Mathias Westphal P.Geo.
