LaFleur Minerals Strengthens Executive Team to Accelerate Near-Term Gold Production

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) has announced strategic additions to its senior management team as the company moves closer to gold production at its Swanson Gold Deposit and Beacon Gold Mill in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The appointments are designed to enhance operational efficiency and support the company's plan to acquire additional high-caliber mining projects in the region.

Marc Ducharme has been named Vice President of Exploration, bringing decades of industry experience to LaFleur. According to a news release, Ducharme's appointment “materially strengthens LaFleur Minerals’ technical and operational capabilities at a critical inflection point, directly enhancing both execution certainty and corporate value.” The company expects that bolstering its exploration leadership will generate confidence among stockholders and streamline its path toward production.

LaFleur's assets include the Beacon Gold Mill, the Swanson Gold Project, and the recently acquired McKenzie East Gold Project. Together, these form a mine-to-market near-term gold production operation on 450 exploration mining claims the company owns in the Abitibi region. The company expects to benefit from strong gold prices, a rail transport line crossing its properties, and access to a skilled workforce in nearby Val-d’Or, Québec.

The appointments come at a time when LaFleur is preparing to begin operations at its Beacon Gold Mill and advance the Swanson and McKenzie East projects. The company's strategy focuses on integrating these assets to create a streamlined production pipeline. With the new executive team, LaFleur aims to improve execution certainty and enhance corporate value as it moves toward becoming a near-term gold producer.

All scientific and technical information in the announcement 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.
