Join Ellis Martin on The Ellis Martin Report and Money Talk Radio as he speaks with Rana Vig, President and CEO of Blue Lagoon Resources (CSE: BLLG | OTCQB: BLAGF).  Blue Lagoon is advancing its Dome Mountain Gold Project in British Columbia, Canada — transforming from exploration into production at a time when gold prices are near historic highs.  Rana shares how Blue Lagoon has evolved from an early-stage explorer into a company preparing for consistent gold shipments to partner Nicola Mining, which will process ore from Dome Mountain.

We caught up with Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining (TSXV: NIM | FSE: HLIA | OTCQB: HUSIF) to understand how dual permits (10-year mining lease extension plus 5-year exploration permit) positions Nicola in an “envious position” to systematically explore high-grade surface samples showing up to 9,221 g/t silver, while the company simultaneously ramps up gold and silver production at their Craigmont operations with multiple projects coming online throughout 2025.

In this episode, Peter Espig, CEO and President of Nicola Mining, elaborates on the company’s dynamic ventures. Currently transitioning a gold asset into production, Nicola Mining is set to begin operations with their partner Talisker. The company is also initiating exploration on projects involving a very high grade copper mine and a significant silver project. Espig discusses the promising prospects of the Treasure Mountain Project and the impact of mining permits on their operations. In addition to insights into the Dominion Creek and new Craigmont projects, Espig highlights the company’s financial philosophy, focusing on cash flow stability to avoid excessive fundraising and dilution.
