We attended the official reopening of the Dome Mountain gold-silver mine on July 9, 2025. Our Head of Research conducted a two-day site visit, where he had the opportunity to meet with management, local stakeholders, Lake Babine First Nation representatives, and key contractors overseeing logistics and operations. The visit also included a tour of the underground mine, and a high-capacity water treatment plant, built to handle six times current usage. The trip began with a 1.5-hour flight from Vancouver to Smithers, a small resource-driven town in northwest B.C., known for mining, tourism, and steelhead fishing. Weather conditions were mild with intermittent rain. Upon arrival, our group—consisting of approximately 30 individuals, including analysts, investors, media, and members of the BLLG team—traveled about 50 minutes by road to reach the mine site. Although slightly bumpy in parts, the road was in good condition, which is important given its intended use for long-haul ore trucking to Nicola Mining’s (TSXV: NIM) mill. Mine Portal Entrance We entered the underground workings through the 1290 portal, pictured below. On July 8, we conducted a one-hour underground tour of the mine. The site was well-maintained, and offered good access throughout. We were able to walk through a significant portion of the defined resource, which currently totals 234 Koz of gold, and 1.2 Moz of silver. Mineralization is hosted in high-grade quartz veins, primarily concentrated in the Boulder vein. This zone extends roughly 530 m along strike, and 200 m in depth. We also viewed the Argillite vein, one of 15 known veins on the property, though only six have been drill-tested. Notably, over 90% of the land package remains unexplored, offering substantial upside potential. The current resource estimate does not include drilling from the 2022 to 2023 infill drill campaigns. Several of these holes intersected the Boulder and Argillite veins. Underground Mine Underground Min
