LaFleur Minerals Inc. Targets Beacon Gold Mill Restart and Expands Drilling at Swanson Project

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) is making significant strides toward restarting production at its Beacon Gold Mill in Val-d’Or, Québec, by early 2026. This initiative is bolstered by a Preliminary Economic Assessment and a 5,000-metre diamond drilling program at the nearby Swanson Gold Project. The Beacon Mill, a facility capable of processing 750 tonnes per day, has undergone over C$20 million in upgrades and is fully permitted, positioning it as a key asset in a region rich with gold deposits.

The Swanson Gold Project, which boasts an NI 43-101 mineral resource of 123,400 ounces indicated and 64,500 ounces inferred, is central to LaFleur's strategy. The company is finalizing plans for a bulk sample of up to 100,000 tonnes and additional mill enhancements worth approximately C$5.6 million. With gold prices exceeding $3,300 per ounce, LaFleur is keen on accelerating production and expanding its resource base through targeted exploration efforts.

Strategically located among numerous gold deposits, the Swanson Gold Project benefits from easy road access and a rail line that runs through the property, enhancing its development potential. LaFleur's Beacon Gold Mill is not only pivotal for processing mineralized material from Swanson but also for potential custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects, underscoring the company's role in the regional mining ecosystem.
