LaFleur Minerals Expands Val-d’Or Land Position with Strategic Claims Acquisition

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) has expanded its footprint in Quebec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt with the acquisition of a 100% interest in 27 mineral claims totaling approximately 701.7 hectares. 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, according to a company press release.

The acquisition aligns with LaFleur’s 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, providing a clean asset for development.

This strategic land grab comes at a time when LaFleur is actively drilling at the Swanson Gold Deposit, with recent results extending gold mineralization below the current resource. The company highlighted plans to resume drilling at Swanson following these encouraging results, which demonstrate continued potential for resource growth. The Swanson Gold Project spans approximately 19,214 hectares (192 km²) and includes several prospects previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining.

The Beacon Gold Mill, recently refurbished and 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. In March 2026, LaFleur released positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) results for the Swanson Gold Project and the planned restart of the mill, marking a significant milestone for the company.

The Abitibi Gold Belt is one of Canada’s most prolific gold-producing regions, and LaFleur’s consolidation of land along a major structural break enhances its potential to delineate additional resources. The company’s focus on the Val-d’Or district, with its established infrastructure and access to multiple gold mills, positions it favorably for future production.
