Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Blue Gold Limited (the "Company") covers the month of June 2025, specifically reporting on the consummation of a Business Combination on June 25, 2025. The transaction involved the merger of Blue Cayman (now Blue Gold (Cayman) Limited) with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Perception Capital Corp. IV. As a result, Perception domesticated as a Delaware corporation, and Blue Gold became the surviving entity. The Company is no longer classified as a shell company.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific financial performance data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity metrics for the reporting period. The document focuses on corporate restructuring and legal agreements rather than operational financial results.
Material Changes
- Corporate Structure: The Company completed a Business Combination, changing its jurisdiction of incorporation to Delaware and ceasing to be a shell company.
- Share Conversion: Each share of Blue Cayman outstanding prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive Ordinary Shares of Blue Gold, par value $0.0001.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary and Outlook: The Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Business Combination. Management has entered into employment agreements with the new CEO and CFO.

Material Risks and Contingencies:
- Mineral Lease Dispute: The Minerals Commission of Ghana issued a notice of termination regarding mining leases in September 2024 and appointed an Interim Management Committee.

A three-person tribunal is to hear the dispute.
- Operational Risks: Risks include the ability to restart mining operations, obtain regulatory approvals, raise additional capital, and manage internal controls.
