Discussion of Results
The latest drill results cover the central portion of the proposed first year of open pit mining at Hammerdown. The grade control program continues to confirm the vein model and location of the historic underground workings while identifying additional mineralization between the high-grade veins, mine backfill material and remnant pillars. Notable assay results include drill hole HDGC-25-177 which intersected 5.5 gpt Au over 29.8 m, including 73.0 gpt Au over 1.5 m related to a group of mineralized quartz veins and altered mineralized quartz feldspar porphyry (QFP) within the unmined crown pillar. Drill hole HDGC-25-160 was drilled 20 m south of drill hole HDGC025-177 and returned 7.7 gpt Au over 5.6 m. Drill hole HDGC-25-188, located 20 m north of previously reported HDGC-25-118 (27.9 gpt Au over 1.0 m; see Maritime press release dated March 14, 2025), returned several high-grade gold intercepts. Highlights include 15.0 gpt Au over 1.4 m, 67.1 gpt Au over 0.9 m, and 14.6 gpt Au over 0.2 m.
The Hammerdown grade control program has identified high grade gold mineralization within the historic backfilled stopes. Drill hole HDGC-25-189 returned 14.8 gpt Au over 5.9 m and HDGC-25-175 returned 17.0 gpt Au over 4.4 m. These results enhance the confidence in the mineralization surrounding and inside the previously mined out stopes at Hammerdown. All backfill intervals drilled during the grade control program were sampled and resulted in the collection of 151 samples representing 274 linear metres of drilling with a weighted average of 3.3 gpt Au across a 1 m composite length. The backfill gold content is believed to be the result of a combination of the high historic mine cut-off grade as well as high grade loss on mining material remaining during the cut and fill mining process. The potential quantity and grade of the backfill material are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient sampling to define a mineral resource. It is uncertain whether further sampling would result in the backfill material being delineated as a mineral resource.
Grade Control Drilling
The grade control drill program completed 8,460 metres of diamond drilling in 273 drill holes. The program was designed to intersect the sub vertical mineralization on a 10 m x 10 m staggered pattern to maximize future ore extraction while minimizing ore losses and dilution. Assay results will be released as they become available.

Analytical Procedures
All samples assayed and pertaining to this press release were completed by Eastern Analytical Limited (EAL) located at Springdale, Newfoundland and Labrador. EAL is an ISO 17025:2005 accredited laboratory for a defined scope of procedures. EAL has no relationship to Maritime Resources. Drill core samples are collected from NQ sized diamond drill core and sawn in half. The half core samples are delivered in sealed plastic bags to EAL by Maritime field crews where they are dried, crushed, and pulped. Samples are crushed to approximately 80% passing a minus 10 mesh and split using a riffle splitter to approximately 250 grams. A ring mill is used to pulverize the sample split to 95% passing a minus 150 mesh. Sample rejects are securely stored at the EAL site for future reference. A 30-gram representative sample is selected for analysis from the 250 grams after which EAL applies a fire assay fusion followed by acid digestion and analysis by atomic absorption for gold analysis. Other metals were analyzed by applying an acid digestion and 34 element ICP analysis finish. EAL runs a comprehensive QA/QC program of standards, duplicates and blanks within each sample stream.

Forward-looking statements are often identified by terms such as "will", "may", "should", "anticipate", "expects", "intends", "indicates" "plans" and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the Hammerdown mineralization, its' metallurgical response, precious metal extraction based on the ongoing metallurgical testwork, sampling programs, the grade control drilling program, location and grade of underground workings and backfill material, amongst other things, which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. All forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are based on reasonable assumptions that have been made by the Company in good faith as at the date of such information. Such assumptions include, without limitation, the price of and anticipated costs of recovery of, base metal concentrates, gold and silver, the presence of and continuity of such minerals at modeled grades and values, the capacities of various machinery and equipment, the use of ore sorting technology will produce positive results, the availability of personnel, machinery and equipment at estimated prices, mineral recovery rates, and others.

About Blue Lagoon Resources Inc.
Blue Lagoon Resources is a Canadian based publicly listed mining company (CSE: BLLG; FSE: 7BL; OTCQB: BLAGF) focused on building shareholder value through the aggressive development of its 100% owned Dome Mountain Gold project. The Company is run by professionals with significant finance and mining experience and operates within a prime mining jurisdiction in British Columbia, Canada. With the granting of a full mining permit, a key milestone achieved in February 2025 - one of only nine such permits issued in British Columbia since 2015 - Blue Lagoon is now focused on last preparatory activities and tasks related to the safe and secure opening of the Dome Mountain Gold Mine, targeting Q3 2025 as the start of gold production . The Company's primary objective has always been to become a cash-flowing mining company, to ultimately deliver tangible monetary value to shareholders, state, and local communities.
The Company is not basing its production decision at Dome Mountain on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The production decision is based on having existing mining infrastructure, past bulk sampling and processing activity, and the established mineral resource. The Company understands that there is increased uncertainty, and consequently a higher risk of failure, when production is undertaken in advance of a feasibility study.
