"We are very pleased to receive a third investment from a sophisticated institutional investor like Crescat who continues to recognize the potential of Dome Mountain for not only the near term production opportunity and the clear potential to significantly increase the known resource on the Boulder Vein, but also for the potential of an Alkali gold system with well defined targets already drilled and ready for advancement as well as multiple targets ready for drill testing in 2022." said Rana Vig, President & CEO of Blue Lagoon Resources. "This additional capital will not only boost our treasury to well over $9 million, with no debt, and over $4 million in-the-money warrants, it will allow the Company to execute on its aggressive exploration plans in 2022." he added.
