LaFleur Minerals Advances Toward Gold Production in Québec's Abitibi Belt

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF), a Canadian gold exploration and development company, is advancing toward the near-term restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill while developing its district-scale Swanson Gold Project in Québec's Abitibi Gold Belt. The company recently launched a confirmation drilling program at its Swanson Gold Deposit in Val-D'Or, signaling progress on its dual-track strategy of near-term production and long-term resource development.

The company's strategic position is enhanced by its location in Val-d'Or, one of the world's premier mining camps currently experiencing major consolidation activity. With both assets situated in the heart of the Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada's largest gold producing region that has recently seen significant merger and acquisition activity involving companies like IAMGOLD and Probe/Fresnillo, LaFleur offers exceptional leverage to record gold prices and growing regional demand for long-life, low-risk gold assets.

LaFleur's fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill represents a critical component of its business model, capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day. The mill is being considered for processing mineralized material from the Swanson Gold Project and for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects. This milling capability provides important potential cash flow for the company's developing gold mining prospects while offering critical milling services to area gold miners.

The timing of these developments coincides with favorable market conditions, as gold prices continue to enhance the economics of the company's restart plans. This environment promises strong margins, accelerated payback potential, and immediate exposure to cash flow from permitted, near-term production assets. The company's progress comes when regional infrastructure and growing production corridors in the Abitibi region create favorable conditions for development.

The Swanson Gold Project encompasses approximately 18,304 hectares (183 km²) and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. LaFleur has consolidated a large land package along a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits and several other showings. The project's accessibility by road allows direct access to several nearby gold mills, further enhancing its development potential.
