🎙 Episode Overview:
In this powerful episode of Canada’s Entrepreneur, Angela Faye sits down with Rana Vig, President & CEO of Blue Lagoon Resources, to unpack one of the most underrated yet urgent entrepreneurial stories in Canada right now.
With the Dome Mountain Gold Project set to enter production in summer 2025, Blue Lagoon is making a rare leap — from exploration to gold producer — in a capital-intensive, highly regulated, and notoriously slow-moving industry.
Yet this episode isn’t just about mining.
It’s about how bold vision, disciplined execution, and public-private navigation can turn a long shot into a moonshot — and what every Canadian entrepreneur can learn from Rana’s playbook.
🔍 What You’ll Hear:
- How Blue Lagoon became 1 of only 9 companies in a decade to receive a BC mining permit
- What business owners can learn about timing, strategy, and raising capital in complex sectors
- The future of Canadian-built companies that create real, rooted value in people and place

- A special invitation for entrepreneurs looking to partner, invest, or contribute to Canada’s future
