LaFleur Minerals Advances Swanson Gold Project with Confirmation Drilling Program

LaFleur Minerals Inc. has initiated a 10-hole confirmation drilling program at its Swanson Gold Deposit in Val-d'Or, Québec, advancing toward near-term gold production and supporting a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the restart of operations at the company's Beacon Gold Mill. Conducted by Environmental Resources Management, the program aims to validate historical drill results, strengthen the geological model, and provide new core for metallurgical testing. CEO Paul Teniere said the work marks a key step toward restarting gold production at record market prices, with assay results from the twinned holes expected in the coming weeks.

The Swanson Gold Project is approximately 18,304 hectares in size and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. LaFleur has recently consolidated a large land package along a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits and several other showings which make up the Swanson Gold Project. This development comes as LaFleur Minerals focuses on the development of district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d'Or, Québec.

The company's fully-permitted and refurbished Beacon Gold Mill is capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day and is being considered for processing mineralized material from Swanson and for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects. The Swanson Gold Project is easily accessible by road allowing direct access to several nearby gold mills, further enhancing its development potential.

The confirmation drilling program represents a critical step in validating the project's economic viability and moving toward production in a region known for its rich mining history and infrastructure. This strategic advancement positions LaFleur Minerals to capitalize on current favorable gold market conditions while leveraging existing infrastructure in one of Canada's most prolific mining districts.
