LaFleur Minerals Secures C$2.88 Million in Private Placement to Advance Quebec Gold Projects
LaFleur Minerals Inc. has completed a C$2.88 million private placement to fund the restart of its Beacon Gold Mill and advance exploration at its Swanson Gold Project in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt, positioning the company for near-term gold production.
LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) has successfully completed a fully subscribed non-brokered private placement raising C$2.88 million, demonstrating growing investor confidence in the Canadian gold explorer's development strategy. The capital raise represents a significant milestone for the company as it positions itself as a near-term gold producer in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt region of Quebec.
The funding will primarily support two key initiatives: restarting the company's fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill and advancing exploration and drilling efforts at its district-scale Swanson Gold Project. The Beacon Gold Mill is expected to generate near-term revenues by processing mineralized material from neighboring gold deposits, with potential future processing of material sourced from LaFleur's own Swanson Gold Deposit located just 60 kilometers away.
At the Swanson Gold Project, which covers approximately 18,304 hectares (45,230 acres) in the Val-d'Or gold district, LaFleur has already completed over seven diamond drill holes with assay results still pending. The company's confidence in the project's potential is bolstered by extensive historical data and results from over 36,000 meters of previous drilling, along with the proven gold recovery capabilities of nearby operations in this world-class mining jurisdiction.
The successful private placement comes as additional offerings are expected to be completed soon, further strengthening the company's financial position. All scientific and technical information has been reviewed and approved by Louis Martin, P.Geo. (OGQ), Exploration Manager and Technical Advisor of the company, who is considered a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101 standards.

This funding round represents a crucial step forward for LaFleur Minerals as it transitions from exploration to production, leveraging existing infrastructure at the Beacon Gold Mill while continuing to develop what it believes will be a significant gold deposit at Swanson. The combination of near-term revenue potential and long-term exploration upside in one of Canada's most established mining regions positions the company uniquely among junior gold developers in the current market environment.
