Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (CSE: BLLG; OTCQB: BLAGF; FSE: 7BL) announced it has been awarded the 2026 Sustainability Award by the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), a rare honour for a company of its size. The award was presented on March 3, 2026 at the PDAC Convention in Toronto, recognizing organizations demonstrating outstanding leadership in environmental stewardship and community engagement.
The award acknowledges Blue Lagoon's commitment to responsible development and its strong partnership with the Lake Babine Nation at the Dome Mountain Gold and Silver Project in British Columbia. The award was accepted by President and CEO Rana Vig and Chief Geologist Bill Cronk, with Chief Wilfred Adam and Deputy Chief Bessie West of the Lake Babine Nation attending the ceremony to underscore the partnership.
“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.”
Vig also acknowledged the role of Bill Cronk, who was instrumental in advancing the Dome Mountain project. “Bill Cronk was the very first person to visit Dome Mountain with me, and he never stopped believing in what the project could become—a high-grade gold and silver producing mine. This award reflects not only his commitment but also the dedication of our entire team.”
The PDAC Awards, first established in 1977, recognize outstanding achievements in the mineral exploration and mining industry worldwide. The Convention is the largest mining conference globally, attracting over 27,000 professionals from more than 125 countries annually. Blue Lagoon's Dome Mountain Gold Project recently transitioned into production, demonstrating the Company's commitment to responsible mining practices, environmental stewardship, and meaningful Indigenous partnerships.
