Mineral exploration company Blue Lagoon Resources has signed an agreement with the Lake Babine Nation (LBN) for the start of underground mining at the Dome Mountain gold mine, in British Columbia.

“The LBN has worked closely with Blue Lagoon for more than a year now to get to know the company, review their restart proposal and discuss how this project could move forward in a way that is safe for our yintah and respectful of our Aboriginal title and rights.

"We now have an agreement confirming how we will work together once Dome Mine resumes operations and how the Lake Babine people will share in the benefits of this operation. I really appreciate Blue Lagoon’s commitment to seeking Lake Babine’s consent for this project and for doing business the right way on our yintah, and I look forward to a successful and sustainable restart of Dome Mine.,” says LBN chief Murphy Abraham.

Blue Lagoon president and CEO Rana Vig adds that the company intends to meet and exceed every term of the agreement fundamentals, maintain a sustainable environment of respect, transparency and friendship and work with the LBN to develop educational and economic opportunities that will benefit Lake Babine community members for years to come.
