LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) is making significant strides in its plans to restart production at the 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. Its strategic location amidst numerous gold deposits, including the Swanson Project, which boasts an NI 43-101 mineral resource of 123,400 ounces indicated and 64,500 ounces inferred, positions LaFleur for potential success in the current gold market.

The company is in the final stages of preparing a bulk sample plan involving up to 100,000 tonnes and additional mill enhancements estimated at approximately C$5.6 million. With gold prices exceeding $3,300 per ounce, LaFleur is keen on accelerating its path to production and expanding its resource base through focused exploration efforts. The Swanson Gold Project, encompassing 16,600 hectares, is rich in gold and critical metals, with easy road access and a rail line enhancing its development potential. The Beacon Gold Mill, now fully refurbished and permitted, is being considered not only for processing mineralized material from Swanson but also for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects.

This development is significant as it underscores LaFleur Minerals’ commitment to leveraging its assets in the Abitibi Gold Belt to create long-term value. The restart of the Beacon Gold Mill and the exploration at the Swanson Project could mark a pivotal moment for the company, especially in a market where gold prices are favorable. The strategic enhancements and drilling programs are aimed at maximizing the potential of these projects, contributing to the local economy and the broader mining sector.
