LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) has announced the acquisition of a 100% interest in 27 mineral claims totaling approximately 701.7 hectares in Quebec’s Abitibi Gold Belt. The newly acquired claims are adjacent to the company’s McKenzie East Project in the Val-d’Or mining district and were purchased from an arm’s-length third party for cash consideration of C$35,000.
The acquisition supports LaFleur Minerals’ strategy of consolidating prospective exploration ground in the Val-d’Or region, where it is advancing the PEA-stage Swanson Gold Project and preparing the fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill for a return to production. The property hosts the historical Maruska gold showing and contains no associated net smelter return royalty. The company also highlighted plans to resume drilling at the Swanson Gold Deposit following recent results that extended gold mineralization below the current resource and demonstrated continued potential for resource growth.
This strategic land consolidation enhances LaFleur’s footprint in the Abitibi Gold Belt, a world-class mining jurisdiction. The proximity to existing infrastructure, including the Beacon Gold Mill, positions the company to potentially reduce development costs and accelerate production timelines. The fully permitted mill, capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day, is being considered for processing mineralized material from Swanson and for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects.
LaFleur Minerals recently released positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) results for the Swanson Gold Project and the planned restart of the Beacon Gold Mill (refer to press release dated March 3, 2026). The Swanson Gold Project spans approximately 19,214 hectares and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals. The project is easily accessible by road, allowing direct access to several nearby gold mills.
