LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) has secured more than $7.8 million in new capital through a combination of a non-brokered private placement, a Listed Issuer Financing Exemption offering, and a flow-through offering, positioning the company to restart gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill and Mine in Val d’Or, Quebec. The funding injection, detailed in a recent announcement (https://ibn.fm/B0qKe), enables LaFleur to commission the mill and process an existing stockpile of gold ore for a trial run, paving the way for steady-state operations.
The Beacon Gold Mill, with a capacity of 750 metric tons per day and fully permitted to process up to 1.8 million metric tons of tailings, is located at the eastern edge of the renowned Abitibi Gold Belt (https://ibn.fm/OqYJZ), Canada’s largest gold-producing region. LaFleur also plans to generate secondary revenue by offering custom milling services to regional operators, leveraging its processing infrastructure while advancing its own Swanson Gold Project, located about 60 km south of the mill.
The restart of production marks a significant step for LaFleur, transitioning from exploration to near-term gold producer. The company’s ability to raise capital in a challenging market underscores investor confidence in its strategy and the Tier 1 jurisdiction of Quebec. With the mill in a state of readiness, LaFleur is poised to create immediate value from its mineral assets and processing capabilities.
The technical aspects of the restart have been reviewed and approved by Louis Martin, P.Geo., Exploration Manager and Technical Advisor, ensuring compliance with NI 43-101 standards. LaFleur’s integrated approach—combining district-scale exploration with operational milling assets—positions it uniquely among junior miners in the Abitibi region.
