Gold explorer and near-term producer LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is advancing toward restarting gold production at its Beacon Gold Mill, located in the globally recognized Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec. The company is conducting a 7,500-metre drill program at its Swanson Gold Project, with assay results showing multiple mineralized zones and favorable conditions for a near-surface, open-pit operation. LaFleur's position is further de-risked by a fully permitted tailings storage facility and a gold mill capable of processing over 750 metric tons per day, situated just 60 kilometers from its exploration project.
The company has consolidated claims around its now district-scale 18,304-hectare (45,230-acre) Swanson site. Production at the nearby Beacon Gold Mill will begin with a de-risked bulk sample from Swanson, while further expansion following mineral structures across the site remains a potential option. With production launch aimed for early next year, LaFleur is obtaining the technical information needed to guide dig operations, including conducting a Preliminary Economic Assessment and determining the capital required to relaunch the fully permitted gold mill.
LaFleur’s ongoing drilling operation has already produced assay results showing high-grade, near-surface intercepts within the district-scale site. All scientific and technical information in this article has been reviewed and approved by Louis Martin, P.Geo. (OGQ), Exploration Manager and Technical Advisor of the company, and considered a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101.
