Record Gold Prices Create Production Opportunities for LaFleur Minerals' Swanson Gold Project

LaFleur Minerals Inc. is featured in a NetworkNewsAudio release highlighting how record gold prices are creating unprecedented opportunities for near-term producers. The company's flagship Swanson Gold Project in Quebec, located near Abitibi's prolific gold operations, contains a current mineral resource estimate of 123.4 Koz Au Indicated and 64.5 Koz Au Inferred, with potential to expand beyond one million ounces. Spanning more than 18,300 hectares with a mining lease and 445 claims, the project benefits from multiple gold-bearing regional structures and district-scale consolidation.

The strategic positioning of the Swanson Gold Project near the Beacon Gold Mill positions LaFleur to potentially fast-track production operations. This proximity to processing infrastructure represents a significant advantage in the current gold market environment. The project's accessibility by road allows direct access to several nearby gold mills, further enhancing its development potential and reducing operational costs. The consolidation of a large land package along a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits creates a comprehensive mining district with multiple development opportunities.

LaFleur Minerals' 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 as well as for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects. This dual-purpose capability adds significant value to the company's overall operational strategy. The mill's existing permits and refurbished status mean it could be brought online relatively quickly compared to new construction projects, providing a competitive edge in capitalizing on current gold market conditions.

The company's focus on district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d'Or, Québec places it in one of the world's most established mining regions. The Swanson Gold Project includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining, indicating the area's proven mineral potential. With gold prices reaching record levels, the timing appears favorable for advancing mining projects with established resources and infrastructure. The combination of existing mineral resources, processing capability, and favorable market conditions creates a compelling opportunity for near-term production development.
