LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) has expanded its project holdings in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec, adding 27 mineral claims totaling approximately 701 hectares adjacent to its McKenzie East Project. This acquisition brings the company's total land position in the Abitibi to more than 23,100 hectares across 490 claims. The newly acquired ground includes a historical Maruska gold showing, which LaFleur plans to explore through data compilation, drilling, and other exploration activities.
The expansion is part of LaFleur's broader district-scale strategy in a region known for its strong infrastructure and access to mining resources. The company is also actively refurbishing its 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill, with operations expected to restart in the coming months. Initially, the mill will process existing stockpiles and potentially material from the company's Swanson Gold Project. The Beacon Gold Mill is capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day and is being considered for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects.
LaFleur's Swanson Gold Project spans approximately 19,214 hectares (192 km²) and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. The project is easily accessible by road, providing direct access to several nearby gold mills. The company recently released the results of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Swanson Gold Project, which supports its development potential.
The combination of expanded land holdings, exploration opportunities, and planned mill operations underscores LaFleur's commitment to advancing its projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt. The region is one of the most prolific gold-producing areas in the world, with established infrastructure and a skilled workforce.
