LaFleur Minerals Expands Val-d'Or Land Position with Strategic Claims Acquisition

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) has announced the acquisition of a 100% interest in 27 mineral claims totaling approximately 701.7 hectares in Québec’s Abitibi Gold Belt. The claims are adjacent to the company’s McKenzie East Project in the Val-d’Or mining district and were purchased from an arm’s-length third party for cash consideration of C$35,000. The property hosts the historical Maruska gold showing and contains no associated net smelter return royalty.

This acquisition supports LaFleur Minerals’ strategy of consolidating prospective exploration ground in the Val-d’Or region, where the company is advancing the PEA-stage Swanson Gold Project and preparing the fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill for a return to production. The company recently released positive Preliminary Economic Assessment results for the Swanson Gold Project and the planned restart of the Beacon Gold Mill, as detailed in a press release dated March 3, 2026. The 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.

LaFleur Minerals also highlighted plans to resume drilling at the Swanson Gold Deposit following recent results that extended gold mineralization below the current resource and demonstrated continued potential for resource growth. The Swanson Gold Project is approximately 19,214 hectares (192 km²) in size and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. The company has consolidated a large land package along a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits and several other showings. The project is easily accessible by road, allowing direct access to several nearby gold mills, further enhancing its development potential.
