Disseminated on behalf of LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) and may include paid advertising.

  • Recent analysis by Zacks Small Cap Research underscores the positive strategic position of Canadian gold developer LaFleur Minerals as it prepares to restart gold production at its Beacon Gold Mill this year
  • LaFleur’s assets include its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill, nearby district-scale Swanson Gold Deposit within the renowned Abitibi belt, and a strategic proximity to skilled labor and equipment suppliers in the already established Val d’Or, Quebec mining camp
  • LaFleur recently completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) that outlining the potential for profitability thanks to its scalable mining project and established processing infrastructure, highlighted by a rapid payback period and capital efficiency with expected 65% IRR after taxes
  • LaFleur updated its 2024 mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) with a 30% increase in the indicated MRE category to over 160,000 ounces of contained gold, and to over 66,000 ounces of contained gold in the inferred category

A recently completed Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) is substantiating near-term gold producer LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF)‘s profile as a junior gold developer positioned to capitalize on the pairing of its scalable Swanson Gold Deposit and its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill in Eastern Canada’s Tier‑1 Abitibi gold belt, as it prepares to restart gold production during Q2-2026.

The PEA highlights the project’s capital efficiency and economic returns that are anticipated to be significant, particularly at market prices recorded throughout 2025 and into 2026. The PEA establishes a Net Present Value (“NPV”) of C$101 million (5% value creation) and places Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) expectations at 65% after taxes — highlighting a potential investment profitability that features quick payback and a competitive base-case IRR when compared to peers.

The PEA’s All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) conservative metric sustains that even if gold prices trending around $5,000 per ounce this year were to retreat as far as $2,750 per ounce, the project would remain profitable. “For investors, the combination of a validated mine plan, a permitted processing facility, and a strengthening gold market creates a compelling setup for value realization over the next 12–24 months,” recent analysis by Zacks Small Cap Research states (https://ibn.fm/swGNK).

“Operational readiness is another differentiator,” the report adds. “The Beacon Gold Mill is fully permitted, refurbished, and funded for restart following a C$7 million financing. … With multiple catalysts ahead, including ongoing drill results, bulk sample approval, and mill commissioning, the company is positioned for a meaningful re-rating as it advances toward production.”

The company’s updated 2026 mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) preceded positive results from recently completed diamond drilling but still increased the indicated mineral resource from the 2024 findings by 30% to ~160,300 ounces of contained gold in the indicated category and ~66,800 ounces of contained gold in the inferred category (https://ibn.fm/ylqOi).

The indicated resource favors the company’s open pit strategy at low operational cost over years compared to the eventual transition to exploring the project’s underground potential. The mineralized footprint remains “open in all directions, and ongoing drilling continues to demonstrate extensions at depth, on strike, and internally within the deposit,” Zacks notes.

LaFleur is focused on continued technical optimization, metallurgical and bulk sample validation, and permitting advancement for restarting gold production at the Beacon Mill this year, with about 30% of the budget spent to ready the facility for a planned gold pour in the coming months.

The strategy establishes LaFleur Minerals as a company with a clear path to production, existing processing assets and the potential for pipeline resource growth.

  • Electrical engineer Andrew S. Mikulski has joined the board as an independent director.
  • Energy markets specialist Sebastian E. Hoyos has been appointed Chief Revenue Officer to lead commercialization strategy.

Renewal Fuels (OTC: RNWF) (d/b/a American Fusion), an advanced energy platform company focused on the development and commercialization of fusion energy technologies, is expanding its intellectual property portfolio and leadership team as it pursues the development and commercialization of its Texatron(TM) fusion energy platform.

The Texas-based company recently announced the filing of eight additional patent applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office related to the Texatron reactor architecture (https://ibn.fm/WRGDr). The new applications cover several technical components of the reactor system, including toroidal chamber designs, clamshell housing structures, electromagnetic confinement elements, and electronic control systems that regulate pulsed energy inputs.

Management said the filings expand the intellectual property framework supporting the Texatron architecture, which is being developed as a modular fusion system intended for eventual industrial and grid applications.

The patent expansion forms part of a broader strategy to secure layered protection across several aspects of the technology. According to the company, the intellectual property approach targets multiple areas, including reactor geometry, electromagnetic confinement methods, fuel cycle management, and integrated system design. These protections are intended to evolve alongside engineering development and eventual commercial deployment.

Brent Nelson, chief executive of Kepler Fusion Technologies, said the patent portfolio is being built to align with ongoing design refinements. “Our intellectual property strategy is being built deliberately around the core architecture of the Texatron system,” Nelson said in the company update. Each patent filing is intended to protect structural and system-level elements of the reactor design while supporting future commercialization options. “As development progresses, we expect the portfolio to continue expanding in parallel with ongoing engineering refinement and validation,” Nelson added. 

The company previously disclosed that twenty patent applications had already been filed covering key structural and electromagnetic aspects of the Texatron platform. The additional filings bring the portfolio further along as development work continues.

Alongside the patent update, the company announced two senior appointments aimed at strengthening governance and commercialization capabilities.

The first is the appointment of Andrew S. Mikulski as an independent member of the board of directors. Mikulski, an electrical engineer with experience in power electronics and advanced electrical systems, joined the board effective March 6, 2026.

Canamera Energy Metals Corp. (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) Advances Rare Earth Portfolio with High-Grade Results in Colorado and Active Drilling in Brazil

Disseminated on behalf of Canamera Energy Metals Corp. (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) and may include paid advertising.

  • Canamera Energy Metals recently confirmed elevated rare earth oxide values at its Iron Hills Project in Colorado, including assays up to 6,557 ppm TREO.
  • EMETF operates at the nexus of critical minerals exploration, secure jurisdictions, and diversified project development.
  • These updates underscore the company’s broader mission: building a multi-asset rare earths platform aligned with global supply chain realignment.

Canamera Energy Metals (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) is consolidating its efforts to execute its strategy of advancing a diverse portfolio of rare earth and critical metals projects across select geopolitically stable regions. Exploration updates from South and North America underscore the firm’s dual-pronged approach: the systematic advancement of priority assets toward resource definition and early-stage discovery, backed by strategic technical validation.

At the company’s Iron Hills Project in Gunnison County, Colorado, Canamera recently reported over-limit re-assay results that show high rare earth concentrations from its initial prospecting program. Follow-up sodium peroxide fusion analysis indicates a total rare earth oxide value of 6,557, including 2,336 ppm neodymium, a vital magnet rare earth element. Further samples showed heavy rare earth oxide values as much as 2,841, resulting from increased yttrium content (ibn.fm/8xYTX).

Six samples from the initial prospecting have so far returned TREO values more than 3,000 ppm. The frequency, strength, and elemental diversity of the results show a fertile rare earth system. The company’s management has highlighted that these results will help with follow-up work, including expanded sampling and the evaluation of airborne radiometric, magnetic, and electromagnetic surveys to better define mineralization controls.

Iron Hills is a vital American-based asset, especially at a time when domestic sources of rare earth metals are gaining traction. With the increased demand for wind energy, electric vehicles, and advanced electronics creating more need for magnet metals like neodymium, projects located in jurisdictions like Colorado come with strategic relevance.

In addition to this early-stage success, the company is also making significant progress through its Turvolândia rare earth project in Brazil, where Canamera is carrying out a maiden drill program. The first phase of drilling, comprising about 1,000 meters, will test the continuity and thickness of near-surface iconic clay-hosted rare earth mineralization across three core areas. This has attracted attention globally because of its potential for lower-cost extraction compared to what is obtainable with conventional hard-rock rare earth deposits (ibn.fm/aotFi).

Turvolândia is located close to the Poços de Caldas alkaline complex, an area quickly emerging as one of Brazil’s most prospective ionic clay rare earth districts. Early-stage drilling focuses on shallow auger holes aimed at weathered clay profiles developed over rare earth-enriched rocks, which are comparable to ion adsorption clay deposits that underpin much of the Chinese rare earth production.

The Turvolândia and Iron Hills updates highlight Canamera’s broader exploration thesis: identifying underexplored, district-scale opportunities spread across the Americas and promoting them using data-driven, methodical programs. The company’s operational portfolio also includes uranium and niobium projects in Wyoming, Ontario, and British Columbia, providing a diversified exposure across commodities and jurisdictions.

Investing in Innovation: Evaluating the Clinical and Commercial Potential of LB-100 and Liora’s Proton Therapy

  • LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings and Liora Technologies recently joined forces to soon offer a real fight against cancer.
  • LIXTE develops LB-100, a drug that enhances the effectiveness of cancer treatments, while Liora has developed a unique cancer treatment that’s believed to be more affordable, precise, and efficient than many traditional options.
  • Together, this pair of products have incredible clinical and commercial potential, to both help the businesses succeed, while also offering better outcomes for patients suffering from cancer.

LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, and the company’s subsidiary, Liora Technologies, both develop cancer therapies that, when combined, have the potential to improve outcomes and results for cancer patients.

LIXTE’s flagship product and lead clinical candidate is LB-100, which is a proprietary small-molecule inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (“PP2A”). Designed to enhance the activity of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, the compound has developed a favorable safety profile in Phase 1 clinical trials and is supported by more than 25 published preclinical and translational studies.

The compound is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical programs that are targeting solid tumors with limited treatment options.

On the other hand, Liora Technologies develops the Linac for Image Guided Hadron Therapy (“LiGHT”) System. This system is a controlled proton therapy platform that offers many benefits over the other proton therapy methods currently available.

It can be deployed rapidly, is much smaller in size than other options, and is cheaper to build and use. The LiGHT System also works more efficiently as it reduces proton loss, allows for much more precise dosing, and allows you to change energy levels in milliseconds, not seconds. Also, the system controls beams electronically, which eliminates the needs for mechanical energy degraders, which often waste a ton of proton energy.

As you could imagine, there’s plenty of synergy between the two products – as the LB-100 enhances cancer therapies by making cancer cells more vulnerable, it takes an already efficient and powerful LiGHT system and makes it even more effective at fighting cancer. In addition to making cancer cells more susceptible to proton therapy and other types of radiation, LB-100 also stops them from being able to effectively recover after being damaged by the radiation.

This synergy not only helps deliver better outcomes for cancer patients, but also the businesses themselves. There aren’t many solutions out there in proton therapy like the LiGHT system, and the platform is a perfect match with LB-100. The combination could potentially be of great use clinically, which in turn boosts the commercial potential of the pairing, as well.

About LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT)

LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing cancer therapies. Instead of introducing standalone treatments, the company focuses on an approach to enhance the effectiveness of established therapies. The company’s work focuses on improving how treatments like chemotherapy and immunotherapy perform in difficult-to-treat cancers.

Pelican Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: PELI) Is ‘One to Watch’

  • Pelican Acquisition Corp. is pursuing a business combination with Greenland Exploration Limited and March GL Company that is expected to close on March 17, 2026, and create a publicly traded energy company named Greenland Energy Company.
  • The proposed company is focused on exploration and development in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin, where March GL may earn up to a 70% interest in more than 2 million acres of onshore licenses.
  • Historic exploration conducted by Atlantic Richfield collected approximately 1,800 kilometers of seismic data that has since been reprocessed using modern imaging technology.
  • Early geological models suggest the basin could contain more than 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil if exploration results confirm the resource potential.
  • The Arctic region is estimated by the U.S. Geological Survey to contain approximately 13% of the world’s undiscovered conventional oil resources and 30% of its undiscovered conventional natural gas resources.

Pelican Acquisition (NASDAQ: PELI) is a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

Pelican has entered into a proposed business combination with Greenland Exploration Limited and March GL Company that is expected to close on March 17, 2026, and result in the creation of Greenland Energy Company, a publicly traded entity focused on the development of energy resources in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin.

On February 24, 2026, Pelican announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had declared effective the company’s registration statement on Form S-4 in connection with the proposed transaction, and Pelican scheduled a shareholder meeting to vote on the business combination.

Greenland Energy Company

Greenland Energy Company is expected to be formed through the business combination of Pelican Acquisition Corp., Greenland Exploration Limited and March GL Company to pursue oil and gas exploration in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin, one of the last highly prospective yet largely undrilled basins globally, with a scale comparable to many of the world’s major producing regions.

Greenland Exploration Limited

Greenland Exploration Limited is a Texas-based entity focused on developing strategic positions in North American energy assets. Through its partnerships and future acquisitions, the company seeks to deliver long-term shareholder value in a dynamic and evolving energy market.

March GL Company

March GL Company is a privately owned Texas corporation that entered into an agreement with 80 Mile to begin drilling in the Jameson oil and gas basin in Greenland. The company will fund 100% of the costs associated with up to two exploration wells designed to delineate the sedimentary structure and energy potential of the basin.

Through its agreement with 80 Mile and its subsidiary White Flame Energy A/S, March GL may earn up to a 70% interest in three onshore licenses covering more than 2 million acres across the Jameson Land Basin. March GL will also serve as Field Operations Manager for the project.

Market Opportunity

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the Arctic holds an estimated 13% of the world’s undiscovered conventional oil resources, or approximately 90 billion barrels, and 30% of its undiscovered conventional natural gas resources. The commercial development of these resources has historically been limited by the difficulty and cost associated with operating in Arctic environments.

The Jameson Land Basin on Greenland’s east coast represents one of the Arctic regions where exploration has historically been limited despite significant geological interest. Historic exploration campaigns conducted by Atlantic Richfield in the 1980s collected approximately 1,800 kilometers of seismic data and identified geological structures capable of trapping large volumes of hydrocarbons.

Greenland Energy’s exploration team has reprocessed this seismic data using modern imaging technology and identified more than 50 potential oil and gas targets within the basin. Early geological models suggest the basin could contain more than 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil if exploration results confirm the resource potential.

Leadership Team

Robert Price, Chief Executive Officer of March GL Company and incoming Chief Executive Officer of Greenland Energy Company, has assembled and managed companies across the energy, real estate and manufacturing sectors. He founded Brooks Energy Company in 1991 and previously served as Vice President, Trust Officer and Oil and Gas Trust Energy Department Manager at the First National Bank and Trust Company of Tulsa, now J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. At March GL, he oversaw the reprocessing of approximately 1,800 kilometers of historic seismic data from Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin.

Larry G. Swets Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Greenland Exploration Limited and incoming Executive Chairman of Greenland Energy Company, has been involved in advancing the development of energy resources in Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin through Greenland Exploration’s planned merger with March GL Company and Pelican Acquisition Corp.

Trilogy Metals Inc.’s Joint Venture, Ambler Metals, Strengthens Management as U.S. Mineral Policy Gains Momentum

Disseminated on behalf of Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) and may include paid advertising.

  • Trilogy Metals has expanded its management structure with new leadership appointments at its Ambler Metals Joint Venture with South32 Limited, to support operational execution and strategic planning.
  • Ambler Metals’ focus under an expanded leadership team is the development of mineral resources in the Ambler Mining District of northwest Alaska.
  • The announcement comes just as U.S. policymakers are placing renewed emphasis on domestic resource development.

Growing concerns over supply chain security and the energy transition have pushed domestic critical minerals production to the forefront of U.S. policy discussions. Copper, zinc and other metals essential to electrification, energy infrastructure and advanced manufacturing are increasingly viewed as strategic resources. Against this backdrop, Ambler Metals recently expanded its management team, a move announced by Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) that is intended to strengthen leadership as the joint venture advances mineral development initiatives for the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects in Alaska’s Ambler Mining District while navigating a rapidly evolving policy landscape. 

The additions are designed to enhance its ability to move projects forward while strengthening corporate governance, community engagement and operational oversight. Leadership experience in areas such as project development, finance and regulatory engagement is particularly important for companies working in complex mining jurisdictions where permitting, environmental studies and stakeholder coordination are essential components of project advancement.

Two key deposits within the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects are the Arctic deposit and the Bornite deposit. The Arctic deposit has been described by the company as one of the highest-grade undeveloped copper-dominant polymetallic deposits in the world, containing significant quantities of copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver. The nearby Bornite deposit is another large copper resource that has been the subject of exploration drilling and geological evaluation. Together, these assets form the backbone of Trilogy’s long-term development strategy.

Michael Galicki and Cole Schaeffer bring strong experience in exploration and operational management, respectively, in challenging North American environments, positioning the joint venture to efficiently execute its near-term milestones and target high-priority resource expansion areas. Jenna Tan adds financial and commercial expertise from leading South32’s Hermosa project, strengthening Ambler Metals’ capacity to advance toward an investment decision on the Arctic Project. Meanwhile, Ron Rimelman’s four decades of permitting experience will be critical in navigating the FAST-41 federal permitting process. Together, this leadership team equips Ambler Metals to unlock the full potential of the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects.

The expansion of Ambler Metals’ management team reflects the growing complexity of advancing large-scale mining projects in today’s regulatory and economic environment. Moving a project from exploration through feasibility studies and into potential construction requires expertise across engineering, environmental science, regulatory affairs and community engagement. By strengthening its leadership bench, the joint venture looks to position itself to navigate these challenges more effectively while preparing for future development phases.

The recent announcement comes just as U.S. policymakers are placing renewed emphasis on domestic resource development. Federal agencies have increasingly identified critical minerals as essential to national security and economic competitiveness. Copper, for example, is a cornerstone material for electrification, energy infrastructure and AI data centers due to its high electrical conductivity and durability.

Recent federal policy developments highlight this shift. The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced that approximately 2.1 million acres in Alaska’s Dalton Corridor would be opened to mining and energy development opportunities as part of a broader effort to strengthen domestic resource production. The department stated that the initiative is intended to support development of natural resources while helping secure critical minerals needed for energy technologies and national infrastructure.

Although the Dalton Corridor initiative is separate from Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects, the policy direction underscores broader federal interest in exploring Alaska’s mineral potential. Alaska is believed to contain significant untapped mineral resources, and the region has long been considered an important frontier for domestic mining development.

This evolving policy environment could present new opportunities capable of supplying metals needed for electrification and infrastructure development, receiving increased attention from governments and investors alike. Copper demand is expected to remain strong as global energy systems shift toward electrification and increase demand on the grid, which require large quantities of conductive materials.

Trilogy Metals has stated that its strategy centers on advancing the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects through Ambler Metals, its 50/50 joint venture with South32, while continuing technical work, environmental studies and community engagement required for future development. The company’s approach reflects a long-term vision of contributing to domestic supplies of critical minerals while operating within evolving regulatory frameworks.

Beyond the Arctic and Bornite deposits, the Ambler Mining District contains multiple mineral prospects that have been explored over decades by various companies and federal agencies.

Carbonatites and Critical Minerals: How Canamera Energy Metals Corp. (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) Is Building a Multi-Center Rare Earth Platform

Disseminated on behalf of Canamera Energy Metals Corp. (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) and may include paid advertising.

  • Schryburt Lake outlines a multi-centre carbonatite system with four large REE-Nb targets defined by coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies
  • Deep magnetic inversion modelling suggests vertically extensive mineralization potential across multiple targets, including fully untested zones
  • Canamera is advancing rare earth assets across Canada, the United States, and Brazil, positioning its portfolio within jurisdictions aligned with Western supply chain priorities

As governments and manufacturers race to secure non-Chinese sources of rare earth elements, attention is increasingly shifting toward projects that demonstrate both geological scale and jurisdictional stability. Carbonatite-hosted rare earth systems, in particular, have re-emerged as strategic targets due to their potential for large tonnage mineralization and association with critical elements such as neodymium, praseodymium, niobium, and heavy rare earths. In this environment, explorers able to define multi-centre systems with depth continuity are gaining renewed relevance.

That context frames the latest exploration update from Canamera Energy Metals (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF), which recently outlined new technical detail and engagement initiatives at its Schryburt Lake Rare Earths Project in northwestern Ontario.

A Multi-Centre Carbonatite System at Schryburt Lake

Schryburt Lake comprises 255 mineral claims covering approximately 4,948 hectares in northwestern Ontario, located roughly 52 kilometres east of the Musselwhite Mine. The project is underlain by a carbonatite-alkaline intrusive complex interpreted as a small plug emplaced in an extensional continental rift setting, a geological environment commonly associated with REE-Nb-P mineralization.

Canamera’s recent work supports the interpretation of a vertically extensive, multi-centre system rather than a single isolated target. Four priority zones, Blue Jay, Goldfinch, Blackbird, and Starling, have been delineated through the coincidence of kilometre-scale thorium radiometric anomalies and deep three-dimensional magnetic bodies. Collectively, these anomalies suggest a coherent mineralized system developed around multiple centres within the broader carbonatite complex.

Blue Jay stands out as the flagship target, where three-dimensional magnetic inversion modelling indicates a potential coherent body extending to approximately 1,000 metres depth over a width of roughly 650 metres. Goldfinch, a niobium-rich system, exhibits a broad thorium anomaly measuring approximately 1,000 by 800 metres, with modelling suggesting depth continuity approaching 850 metres.

Two additional targets add further scale optionality. Blackbird represents a newly identified and fully untested discovery target, characterized by a surface anomaly and coincident geophysical signature that may extend to approximately 800 metres depth. Starling, largely concealed beneath limited surface exposure, is defined by a substantial thorium anomaly and magnetic body extending to roughly 600 metres depth.

Historical Work, Modern Interpretation

While Schryburt Lake has seen exploration dating back to the 1960s, including trenching, pits, reverse-circulation drilling, and surface sampling, more recent programs have significantly advanced the technical database. These efforts include helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric surveys, satellite radar and multispectral coverage, and the digitization of nearly 1,800 legacy magnetic stations.

Importantly, Canamera’s current interpretation integrates these datasets into a modern three-dimensional framework, allowing the company to identify vertically continuous targets that were not previously understood in historical programs. Rare earth mineralization at Schryburt Lake occurs in minerals such as ancylite and related carbonate phases, consistent with other economically significant carbonatite systems globally.

Responsible Advancement and Indigenous Engagement

Alongside technical progress, Canamera announced the engagement of Andrew Best as Manager of Indigenous Relations. With more than three decades of experience supporting Indigenous engagement across Canada’s resource sector, Best’s appointment signals a parallel focus on responsible project advancement.

The company has stated its intent to re-engage with relevant First Nations as it moves toward permitting a maiden drill program. Early and structured engagement is increasingly viewed as a prerequisite for long-term project viability in Canadian jurisdictions, particularly for projects advancing toward drilling.

Broader Portfolio Momentum

While Schryburt Lake anchors Canamera’s current technical narrative, the company’s broader portfolio adds diversification across multiple rare earth and critical metals settings. In Colorado, initial rock chip sampling at the Iron Hills Project returned multiple over-limit rare earth results exceeding laboratory detection thresholds, including neodymium, yttrium, and cerium. Several samples indicated elevated heavy rare earth oxide values, supporting the presence of a district-scale system in a U.S. jurisdiction designated as strategically important for critical minerals.

Looking ahead, Canamera enters 2026 with several near-term catalysts across its portfolio. Preliminary drilling results are expected from the Turvolândia Project in Brazil, while follow-up analytical work is planned at Iron Hills to better define high-grade REE concentrations. Additional exploration planning updates are anticipated for Schryburt Lake, Garrow Lake in Ontario, and the Great Divide uranium project in Wyoming.

A Platform Built for Scale

Canamera’s approach reflects a portfolio strategy focused on district-scale opportunities rather than isolated targets. By advancing projects in mining-friendly jurisdictions with established infrastructure and regulatory clarity, the company is positioning itself within a broader effort to rebuild Western rare earth supply chains.

At Schryburt Lake, the combination of multi-centre carbonatite mineralization, depth continuity, and modern geophysical interpretation provides a technically compelling foundation. As exploration advances toward drilling, the project offers a clear example of how scale, geology, and jurisdiction are increasingly intersecting in the critical minerals space.

PEA Report Delivers Resilient High Return Profile for LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) Swanson Gold Project in Abitibi Gold Belt

Disseminated on behalf of LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) and may include paid advertising.

  • LaFleur Minerals has released its highly anticipated report on the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for its flagship Swanson Gold Project in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec
  • The PEA outlines the gold mining project as being straightforward, capital efficient, and likely to produce “significant economic returns” considering the strong gold market
  • The PEA assesses the benefits of LaFleur’s wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill, the nearby Swanson Gold Deposit’s resources, and the project’s proximity to skilled labor and equipment suppliers in the already established Val d’Or mining community

Near-term gold producer LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is reporting the results of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) that will help the company accelerate its roadmap to production profitability in the renowned Abitibi gold belt of Quebec, and that further validates the Company’s assets potential. As of recent, LaFleur has delivered a compelling combination of strong drilling results, robust economic metrics, and near-term production potential which makes it one of the most notable emerging production stories in its jurisdiction.

LaFleur’s report issued March 3 anticipates a “technically straightforward, capital efficient project with significant economic returns” thanks to the company’s Swanson Gold Deposit, existing mining lease, as well as their nearby refurbished Beacon Gold Mill and permitted tailings storage facility. 

“With a modest initial capital requirement and mill upgrades and strong projected returns at a US$2,750 per ounce base-case gold price, we believe Swanson has the potential to evolve into a competitive and short-term gold development project within the Abitibi Gold Belt,” LaFleur CEO Paul Ténière stated in the company’s news release (https://ibn.fm/wNUA4).

“Our focus now shifts to continued technical optimization, metallurgical and bulk sample validation, and permitting advancement,” he added, “as we evaluate the next phase of growth and progress toward restarting the Beacon Mill in 2026.”

The Beacon Gold Mill’s proximity to the Swanson Project by road, and the further potential for creating a rail line spur directly to the mill, highlight the streamlined, low-complexity path to production LaFleur enjoys, according to the PEA.

The PEA also envisions a potential reduction in operating costs through the economies of scale as the company completes a staged mill expansion from its current 750 tonnes per day (“TPD”) capacity to 1,250 TPD to match the mine output. Although not analyzed in the current PEA, the company is already contemplating the possibility of further expansion to 3,000 TPD or higher with a parallel mineral processing circuit if additional mill feed is secured.

In assessing the potential for investment profitability, the PEA establishes a Net Present Value (“NPV”) of C$101 million (5% value creation) and places Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) expectations at 65% after taxes, where Swanson shines in CAPEX efficiency, quick payback, and base-case IRR compared to peers such as West Red Lake Gold. The report’s All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) metric highlights a profitable outcome even if gold prices retreat somewhat from the record run they have enjoyed during the past year, using a conservative US$2,750 per oz gold price as base case.

The company’s updated 2026 mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) shows a 30% increase in the indicated mineral resource over the 2024 MRE, due to updated cut-off grades. The 2026 MRE does not incorporate the positive results of the recently completed diamond drilling program, but now highlights 227koz of contained gold (Ind and Inf).

The PEA also notes the Swanson Project’s proximity to Val-d’Or, Quebec — a predominant mining camp with a skilled workforce and equipment suppliers, which creates the potential for already housed employees who can drive in and out without the need for LaFleur to create costly camp facilities and the infrastructure that accompanies remote site work.

All-in-all, the assumptions outlined in the PEA indicate positive potential economic viability for the company and rapid payback on investment.

LaFleur also recently announced significant progress toward restarting gold production at, with refurbishment work advancing on schedule and about 30% of the budget spent to ready the facility for a planned gold pour later this year.  This combination of a capital-efficient, high-return PEA, proven continuous mineralization and strong geology, and near-term processing capability with wholly owned infrastructure positions LaFleur as a junior gold developer with both a clear path to production and potential upside through resource expansion, creating what many would see as a compelling investment story of a junior gold developer with both pipeline resource growth and existing processing assets.
