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’s strategy of consolidating prospective exploration ground in the Val-d’Or region. The company is currently 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.
LaFleur 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. The Swanson Gold Project is approximately 19,214 hectares (192 km2) in size and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining.
The company’s recently refurbished Beacon Gold Mill is capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day and 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 results for the Swanson Gold Project and the planned restart of the Beacon Gold Mill, highlighting the potential for long-term value creation.
This acquisition strengthens LaFleur’s position in the Val-d’Or mining district, a historically significant gold-producing region. The consolidation of claims adjacent to existing projects enhances exploration efficiency and potential resource expansion.
