Blue Lagoon Kicks Off 20,000 Meter Drill Program
Blue Lagoon Kicks Off 20,000 Meter Drill Program On Its Dome Mountain Gold Project
VANCOUVER, BC / January 26, 2022 / Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (the "Company") (CSE:BLLG) (FSE:7BL) (OTCQB:BLAGF) is pleased to announce that it has mobilized its crew and its first drill rig to commence its 2022 drill program, which is expected to be a minimum of 20,000 meters of diamond drilling on its all year-round, road accessible Dome Mountain Gold Project, located a short 50 minute drive from Smithers, British Columbia.
In addition to diamond drilling, the first phase of the 2022 drill program, which is expected to be approximately 10,000 meters, will consist of ground based geophysics over the Freegold Intrusion and follow up soils, once snow free conditions are met, over anomalous zones found in results of the 2021 soils program. These follow up soils will also include areas not yet covered on the 22,000 ha property and will include further prospecting and ground or drone mounted Mag for detailed coverage to assess underlying structural targets associated with the anomalous soils.
Much of the planned 2022 Phase One drilling will target follow up on previously drilled holes in 2021 with lab assay results still outstanding. To date, turnaround time for core samples sent to the labs have been exceedingly long (10 + weeks).
"The 2022 drilling at Dome Mountain will be a game changer for us" said Bill Cronk, Chief Geologist of Blue Lagoon Resources." We have drill targets that build on the newly defined mineralized zones at Chance and Federal as well as targets over the Freegold Intrusion. In addition, anomalous soils from the 2020 program have not been fully followed up and several new zones identified by soils in 2021 will provide new drill targets. Also, the Boulder Vein will be targeted for deep vein intercepts that is expected to add significantly to resource expansion there." he said.
Ground based IP and CSAMT is planned for the Freegold area to further build on the highly anomalous rock, soils and 2021 drill intercepts there.
PHASE ONE DRILLING
The first hole of the Phase One drill program will be drilled from the same pad that ended the 2021 program. From this pad the Company drilled hole DM-21-224 and hit a 7 meter mineralized Zone striking roughly east-west in an area with some of the highest drill hole intercepts to date. This mineralized zone is hosted by a vein with anomalous sulfides present. This drill set up will test the southern end of the Chance Structural Corridor with drill holes planned with varying azimuths from the same pad. Once completed, this rig will move 100 meters southwest and test for down dip and further strike length to the vein mineralized zone hit in hole DM-21-224.
