Event Summary

Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. announced on August 10, 2026 that it has entered into agreements for a C$10 million strategic investment from its two key operating partners: Nicola Mining Inc. and Ocean Partners UK Limited Ltd. Each partner will invest C$5 million. The common shares will be issued at C$0.60 per share, a premium of over 10% to the 20-day VWAP, and will consist solely of common shares with no warrants. The company expects to issue approximately 16.67 million common shares in aggregate. Both partners already hold equity positions in Blue Lagoon, and this investment will meaningfully increase their ownership.
