LaFleur Minerals Secures $1.66 Million in Flow-Through Funding for Québec Gold Projects
LaFleur Minerals has closed a $1.66 million private placement to advance exploration at its Swanson Gold Project and restart operations at the Beacon Gold Mill, positioning the company for near-term gold production in Québec's Abitibi Belt.
LaFleur Minerals Inc. has completed a flow-through private placement offering that raised more than $1.66 million in gross proceeds, providing critical funding for the company's gold exploration and production initiatives in Québec. The capital will support exploration and preliminary economic assessment work at the Swanson Gold Project while also funding ore sorting and metallurgical test work for the planned restart of the company's wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill by early next year.
The Swanson Gold Project represents LaFleur's flagship exploration property in the Abitibi Gold Belt, featuring over 36,000 metres of historic drilling and numerous gold-bearing regional structures. Recent assay results from initial test drilling have revealed multiple mineralized zones with favorable conditions for near-surface, open-pit operations. The project is designed to serve as gold bulk sample extraction from planned open-pit mining efforts, positioning LaFleur as a near-term gold producer in the region.
The flow-through financing structure provides tax advantages to Canadian investors while enabling the company to accelerate its exploration programs. This funding comes at a crucial time as LaFleur prepares to advance its Swanson property toward production readiness while simultaneously working to bring the Beacon Gold Mill back into operation. The mill restart represents a significant operational milestone that would provide processing capacity for ore extracted from company projects.
