Flynn Gold Limited (ASX: FG1, “Flynn” or “the Company”) is pleased to report that high-grade gold mineralisation has been intersected in the first drilling program completed at the Trafalgar North vein zone which is situated within the Company’s 100% owned Golden Ridge Project located in Northeast Tasmania (Figure 1).
Highlights
Flynn Gold Managing Director & CEO Neil Marston said:
“These are excellent early results from our on-going exploration at our flagship Golden Ridge project in NE Tasmania.
“Drilling has successfully intersected high-grade gold veins beneath the recently discovered trenching area at Trafalgar North and has confirmed our interpretation that this zone is continuous at depth and potentially is a parallel zone to the Trafalgar prospect mineralisation.
This new vein zone increases the mineralised footprint at Trafalgar from 300m to 500m width across the granodiorite/sedimentary contact and reinforces our view that this project has the potential to host large-scale gold mineralisation.”

Trafalgar Prospect – Phase 3 Drilling
Phase 3 drilling commenced at the Trafalgar prospect in mid-April 2024. The initially planned 1,500m diamond drill program comprised infill and extension drilling targeting down-dip and along-strike extensions to previously drilled high-grade gold intercepts.
During June 2024, a new zone of gold-mineralisation, approximately 250m north of the historic Trafalgar mine was discovered in surface trenches2. This new area at Trafalgar North had the potential to significantly increase the mineralised footprint of the Trafalgar prospect and therefore became the focus of drilling later in the campaign.

NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: “The discovery of more significant oxide gold-antimony drill results in drillholes at Cadillac Valley is a key development at our Limo Butte oxide gold-antimony project. Cadillac Valley is over 2 km from Resurrection Ridge, and we have now defined over 5 km of strike length between these two advanced target areas. The oxide gold-antimony grades, near-surface mineralization, and hole thickness highlight the significant gold-antimony potential that we have at the Project. We continue to analyze and re-assay holes from both Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley and we have a number of holes to release with combined gold-antimony results. The timing and market conditions are opportune to continue to advance the gold-antimony potential at Limo Butte as there is a clear commitment from the United States to advance high-quality, domestic, mineral projects.”

Limo Butte Geology & Antimony Potential
A review of historical geochemical and drilling data at the Limousine Butte Project has identified multiple areas with strong gold-antimony potential. These zones correlate closely with outcrops of the Devonian Pilot Shale, the primary host rock for Carlin-type gold mineralization in the area. Positive gold grade at Limousine Butte is typically associated with silicification and the formation of jasperoid breccias within the Pilot Shale, an alteration feature also observed in the positive antimony results.
Through the Project data review, the Company uncovered reports detailing two small-scale historic mining operations at the Nevada Antimony Mine and Lage Antimony Prospect within the Limo Butte Project boundary. The Nevada Antimony Mine featured two prospect pits that extracted stibnite (formula: Sb2S3) from a hydrothermal breccia. The Lage Antimony Prospect reported historical unverified sampling results with up to 14.46% Antimony with additional prospect pits extracting antimony. The Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (“NBMG”) had historical reports on both of these which can be found here: Nevada Antimony Mine Report Lage Antimony Prospect Report
Historical geochemical rock chip sampling within the past-producing Golden Butte pit from a Brigham Young University (“BYU”) Thesis study produced numerous results that exceeded 1% antimony in jasperoid breccias (see Figure 1). Several results were greater then 5% antimony, including a sample of 9.6% antimony with visible stibnite and stibiconite. BYU Thesis Report
NevGold VP Exploration, Greg French, comments: “The antimony re-assay program continues to produce positive gold-antimony results, and we are encouraged by the gold-antimony grade as well as the footprint at Limo Butte. We have currently defined over 5 km of strike length between Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley, and these initial results at Cadillac Valley have a footprint that spans over 1.5 km by 500 meters. We are continuing to analyze the data from both Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley to incorporate results in the planning for the next drill program.”

US Executive Order – Announced March 20, 2025
The Company is pleased to report the recent, sweeping Executive Order to strengthen American mineral production and reduce U.S. reliance on foreign nations for its mineral supply. Antimony (Sb) has been identified as an important “Critical Mineral” in the United States essential for national security, clean energy, and technology applications, yet no domestically mined supply currently exists.
The Executive Order invokes the use of the Defense Production Act as part of a broad United States (“US”) Government effort to expand domestic minerals production on national security grounds. As it relates to project permitting, the Order states that it will "identify priority projects that can be immediately approved or for which permits can be immediately issued, and take all necessary or appropriate actions…to expedite and issue the relevant permits or approvals." Furthermore, the Order includes provisions to accelerate access to private and public capital for domestic projects, including the creation of a "dedicated mineral and mineral production fund for domestic investments" under the Development Finance Corporation ("DFC").
This decisive action by the US Government highlights the urgent need to expand domestic minerals output to support supply chain security in the United States. This important Order will help revitalize domestic mineral production by improving the permitting process and providing financial support to qualifying domestic projects.
Importance of Antimony
Antimony is considered a “Critical Mineral” by the United States based on the U.S. Geological Survey’s 2022 list (U.S.G.S. (2022)). “Critical Minerals” are metals and non-metals essential to the economy and national security. Antimony is utilized in all manners of military applications, including the manufacturing of armor piercing bullets, night vision goggles, infrared sensors, precision optics, laser sighting, explosive formulations, hardened lead for bullets and shrapnel, ammunition primers, tracer ammunition, nuclear weapons and production, tritium production, flares, military clothing, and communication equipment. Other uses include technology (semi-conductors, circuit boards, electric switches, fluorescent lighting, high quality clear glass and lithium-ion batteries) and clean-energy storage.
Globally, approximately 90% of the world’s current antimony supply is produced by China, Russia, and Tajikistan. Beginning on September 15, 2024, China, which is responsible for nearly half of all global mined antimony output and dominates global refinement and processing, announced that it will restrict antimony exports. In December-2024, China explicitly restricted antimony exports to the United States citing its dual military and civilian uses, which further exacerbated global supply chain concerns. (Lv, A. and Munroe, T. (2024)) The U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”) has designated antimony as a “Critical Mineral” due to its importance in national security, and governments are now prioritizing domestic production to mitigate supply chain disruptions. Projects exploring antimony sources in North America play a key role in addressing these challenges.
Perpetua Resources Corp. (“Perpetua”) has the most advanced domestic gold-antimony project in the United States. Perpetua’s project, known as Stibnite, is located in Idaho approximately 130 km northeast of NevGold’s Nutmeg Mountain and Zeus projects. Positive advancements at Stibnite including the technical development and permitting has led to US$75 million in Department of Defense (“DOD”) awards, and over $1.8 billion in indicative financing from the Export Import Bank of the United States (“US EXIM”) (see Perpetua Resources News Release from April 8, 2024) (Perpetua Resources. (2025))

Blue Lagoon offers a compelling low-risk, high-upside opportunity in a rising gold price environment driven by a focused transition from junior exploration to gold production, strong insider ownership and low capital intensity.
Blue Lagoon Resources (CSE:BLLG,OTCQB:BLAGF,FSE: 7BL) is emerging as British Columbia’s next high-grade underground gold producer. The company’s 100 percent owned Dome Mountain gold mine has achieved the rare milestone of securing a full BC mining permit, setting the stage for near-term production. The company will use early cash flow to expand the existing high-grade resource and unlock the significant exploration potential across the vast land package.
Over $30 million has already been invested in development and drilling at Dome Mountain since 2019, including more than 48,000 meters of drilling that led to the discovery of two new zones: Chance Structural and the Federal zone. The current NI 43-101 resource—focused solely on the Boulder Vein—includes 45,000 oz of gold (measured), 173,000 oz (indicated), and 16,000 oz (inferred), along with over 1.1 million oz (Moz) of silver. However, this represents just a fraction of the potential: Dome Mountain hosts 15 known high-grade veins on only 10 percent of the 22,000-hectare land package, 90 percent of which remains unexplored.
What sets Blue Lagoon apart is its disciplined business model—generating revenue through production to fund exploration, instead of relying on continuous dilution. By minimizing upfront capital requirements and leveraging strong partnerships—including community support from the Lake Babine Nation and financial backing from strategic investors—Blue Lagoon is positioned to scale efficiently.
Blue Lagoon is led by a seasoned team of entrepreneurs, mine builders, and technical experts with deep experience in financing, permitting, and operating gold projects.
The Dome Mountain gold project is Blue Lagoon Resources’ flagship and sole focus, representing a rare near-term production opportunity in a premier jurisdiction. Located just 50 minutes from the mining-friendly town of Smithers, BC, the project spans nearly 21,000 hectares of mineral titles in a richly endowed gold belt with excellent infrastructure, road access and power. The mine has a long history, with more than $80 million in historical investment from Noranda, Timmins and Blue Lagoon, including more than $30 million since 2019.
The Dome Mountain mine is a fully permitted, high-grade, underground gold-silver project. In February 2025, the company secured both its mine permit from the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, and an associated effluent discharge permit from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. These permits enable full-scale mining operations to commence—an achievement few companies have attained in British Columbia over the past decade.
Initial operations will focus on the Boulder Vein System, which hosts the current NI 43-101 resource. The resource includes 45,000 oz of measured gold at 10.32 grams per ton (g/t), 173,000 oz indicated at 8.15 g/t, and 16,000 oz Inferred at 6.02 g/t Au. These zones also contain significant silver by-products, totaling over 1.1 Moz across categories. The resource is based on a 3.5 g/t gold cutoff and only covers one of at least 15 known high-grade veins on the property.
Dome Mountain project site layout
The Boulder Vein is being developed for initial production of 15,000 oz of gold per year, processed via a toll milling agreement with Nicola Mining. Metallurgical recoveries from a previously processed 5,000-ton bulk sample returned 95 percent gold and 90 percent silver recoveries, confirming the project's strong economics. Pre-production capital costs are minimal, with the only major requirement being the completion of the on-site water treatment facility, expected by May 2025.
Despite the historical work, 90 percent of the property remains unexplored. Blue Lagoon has already completed over 48,000 meters of drilling since 2020 and made two new discoveries (Chance Structural and Federal One). Recent airborne magnetic and IP geophysical surveys have identified numerous new drill targets, and internal modeling suggests the potential to grow the resource to more than 1 Moz. All exploration is fully funded through anticipated cash flow, minimizing dilution and offering investors exposure to both near-term revenue and long-term discovery potential.
A veteran entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in public and private markets, Rana Vig has a deep history of building and financing ventures in the mining, cannabis and technology sectors. Prior to founding Blue Lagoon, he served as CEO of Lead Ventures, where he orchestrated a $5-billion reverse takeover of Curaleaf Holdings—Canada’s largest cannabis financing to date. Under his leadership, Blue Lagoon secured its final mine permit for Dome Mountain, raised over $30 million, and positioned the company for near-term gold production. Known for his execution-focused strategy and shareholder alignment, Vig and his family are among the company’s largest shareholders, having recently increased their stake with additional personal investments.
With over 35 years of global experience, William Cronk leads the company’s exploration programs. He has worked across North and South America, Africa and Europe, and has contributed to both grassroots and advanced-stage projects. His past roles include senior positions at Dundee Precious Metals and Northern Empire (acquired by Coeur Mining). Cronk has overseen Blue Lagoon’s extensive drilling campaigns at Dome Mountain, including over 48,000 meters of drilling, and was instrumental in the discovery of the Chance Structural and Federal One zones. His understanding of structurally controlled gold systems has positioned the company to unlock the broader exploration potential of the property.
Roy Edvardsen brings more than four decades of operational mining experience and is currently overseeing the preparation and execution of the Dome Mountain restart. His background includes roles as mine superintendent and underground mine manager at some of Canada’s most recognized operations, including the Wolverine Mine (Yukon), Ekati Diamond Mine (NWT) and Eskay Creek (BC). Known for his focus on underground mine safety and operational efficiency, Edvardsen has implemented robust ground control, ventilation and emergency protocols at Dome in preparation for production.
Gurdeep Bains is a chartered professional accountant with more than two decades of financial and corporate development experience. He spent 10 years at Canaccord Genuity, where he managed internal audits, financial analysis, and played a key role in global expansion projects totaling over $850 million across Canada, the US, UK, Australia and China. His expertise in due diligence, M&A integration and financial governance supports Blue Lagoon’s capital discipline and operational transparency.
