&dagger; Arseneau, G. 2022. Mineral Resource Estimate for the Dome Mountain Gold Project, Smithers, British Columbia, Canada, prepared

for Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. by Arseneau Consulting Services, effective date, October 15, 2021, report date January 31, 2022.

The Boulder Vein System is a steeply dipping structurally controlled

quartz carbonate hosted base metal rich gold-silver vein system. The Company's current Mine Act Permit (M-237) provides for up to 75,000 tonnes per year production.

The review schedule established by EMLI highlights 71 days for

Duration of Application Review

and 35 days for

Decision Packages and Permit Drafting Duration

with December 14, 2023 as the day for final Decision on the permit.

"We are very pleased to have this application submittal completed," said Rana Vig, President and CEO of Blue Lagoon Resources. "Every effort has been made to get this Mines Act Amendment Application completed and screened to allow formal submission to LBN, EMLI and ENV in a timely manner while at the same time completing ongoing exploration work and drilling on the Boulder Vein and property wide exploration targets," he added.

Since submitting the application for screening in September 2022, the Company has completed two phases of diamond core drilling totalling 41 holes and 12,327 meters in Phase 2 2022, and 10 holes and 2909 meters in Phase 1 2023. This drilling confirmed that the Boulder Vein System mineralization is at least double the resource strike length and double the down dip extent proving strong potential for defining 1M+ oz gold resource along the Boulder Vein System through systematic infill drilling (see press release May 24, 2023). Potential cash flow from expected production in 2024 would help to finance infill drilling and a new and larger resource.

The Company has not made a decision to proceed to production at this time and will evaluate its production decision once all permit requirements are in place. Any production decision in advance of obtaining a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability of the project is associated with increased uncertainty and risk of failure.

The scientific and technical disclosure in this news release was approved by William Cronk, P.Geo,

a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101 and a consultant to the Company.
