LaFleur Minerals Prepares for Gold Production Restart with Positive Economic Assessment

Canadian gold developer LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is preparing to restart gold production at its Beacon Gold Mill in 2026, with recent analysis highlighting its strategic position for profitability. The company's assets include the wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill and the nearby Swanson Gold Deposit within the Abitibi belt, benefiting from proximity to skilled labor and equipment suppliers in the established Val d'Or, Quebec mining camp.

A recently completed Preliminary Economic Assessment substantiates LaFleur's profile as a near-term gold producer, capitalizing on the pairing of its scalable Swanson Gold Deposit and fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill in Eastern Canada's Tier-1 Abitibi gold belt. The PEA highlights the project's capital efficiency and economic returns, particularly at market prices recorded throughout 2025 and into 2026, establishing a Net Present Value of C$101 million and placing Internal Rate of Return expectations at 65% after taxes.

The assessment outlines potential profitability thanks to LaFleur's scalable mining project and established processing infrastructure, featuring a rapid payback period and capital efficiency. This comes as the company updated its 2024 mineral resource estimate with a 30% increase in the indicated category to over 160,000 ounces of contained gold, and to over 66,000 ounces in the inferred category.

Recent analysis by Zacks Small Cap Research underscores the positive strategic position of LaFleur Minerals as it prepares to restart gold production this year.
