Nasdaq-listed Blue Gold has announced a ruling by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, where the company is incorporated, addressing certain preliminary issues in ongoing litigation relating to Blue Gold’s merger with a special purpose acquisition company called Perception Capital Corporation last year.

The financial services division of the Grant Court made the ruling on May 15 to keep an existing injunction in place that prevents Blue Gold from proceeding with an extraordinary general meeting to alter its Articles of Association in the context of the business combination.

The court injunction stemmed from a shareholder dispute.

“We acknowledge the court’s ruling and respect the legal process. While we are pleased to have clarity on certain interpretive matters relating to our Articles, this decision addresses only preliminary issues and does not resolve the broader dispute. Blue Gold remains committed to protecting the interests of all shareholders and maintaining orderly market conditions.

“We will continue to evaluate all available legal and strategic options as the case proceeds, including any appeal and/or stay of the court's ruling on these preliminary issues.

“Several substantive matters remain to be determined at trial and Blue Gold will continue to engage constructively in the ongoing proceedings,” says Blue Gold CEO Andrew Cavaghan.

Blue Gold became a publicly-traded company following the $114-million merger with Perception,

Blue Gold is focused on restarting and expanding the Bogoso Prestea mine in Ghana, which historically produced from than nine-million ounces of gold.

Blue Gold acquired the Bogoso Prestea mine, which hosts a 5.1-million-ounce resource, in 2024. The mine is located in the Ashanti Gold Belt, one of West Africa’s most prolific gold-producing regions.
