LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is making significant progress toward restarting operations at its Beacon Gold Mill in Québec's Abitibi Gold Belt, with the company expecting to achieve its first gold pour using a 100,000-metric-ton bulk sample from the Swanson Gold Project as feed. The mill, capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day, has been recently refurbished and is central to the company's near-term production strategy.
The Swanson Gold Project, encompassing approximately 19,214 hectares, includes several gold and critical metal prospects and is located along a major structural break. The project is easily accessible by road, providing direct access to nearby gold mills such as Beacon. Recent high-grade drill results at Swanson have bolstered confidence in the resource, and a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) anticipates solid returns, especially given gold prices remaining well above historical levels.
To support the restart, LaFleur is undertaking mill upgrades and securing additional financing. The company plans to process mineralized material from Swanson and also consider custom milling for other nearby gold projects. The PEA for the Swanson Gold Project and the planned mill restart was recently released, highlighting the project's economic viability.
The company's focus on district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d'Or, Québec, positions it to deliver long-term value. The consolidation of a large land package previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining has enhanced the project's development potential. LaFleur's mission is to advance mining projects with a laser focus on its PEA-stage Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill.

The combination of high-grade resources, existing mill infrastructure, and favorable gold prices creates a compelling opportunity for the company to generate strong margins and advance its strategic growth initiatives.
