- LaFleur Minerals Inc., a Canadian exploration and near-term gold producer, anticipates 2026 to be biggest year yet, beginning with the restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill
- The company has doubled down on its near-term gold production strategy that involves exploration on its own promising properties, while offering the mill’s capacity to other actively productive miners in the area
- With gold having rocketed in value to above the $4,000 per ounce mark this year, and demand only rising, LaFleur is set to capitalize on this booming market
LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0), a Canadian exploration and near-term gold producer advancing the district-scale Swanson Gold Project in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt and progressing towards the restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill, is proving to be an excellent investment vehicle for individuals looking to make it big in the not-so-distant future. Having doubled down on its vertically integrated, near-term gold production strategy, which involves exploration and eventual bulk sampling at its Swanson Gold property to provide source of mineralized material for its nearby Beacon Gold Mill, the next factor is the availability of offering its milling capacity to the many surrounding productive miners who can use it, a rare combination that differentiates LaFleur from other junior miners.
LaFleur looks to fire up its flagship operation in the renowned Abitibi Gold Belt of Québec in early 2026. It will source material from its district-scale Swanson Gold Project and produce it through its de-risked 750-ton capacity, fully permitted and refurbished Beacon Gold Mill (https://ibn.fm/OYz5V). The company has already finalized a comprehensive restart plan for this mill, budgeting between C$5 and C$6 million to facilitate its completion during a six-to-eight-month recommissioning process. This is a testament to LaFleur’s bullishness about the industry’s opportunities and the role such an initiative will play in advancing its operations in the country and beyond (https://ibn.fm/HsNyI).
This, coupled with market factors, is favoring LaFleur and its operations. Gold has already rocketed to above $4,000 per ounce this year, up from $1,600 in 2022 (https://ibn.fm/fQ6GB). Demand for the product continues to climb, and industry experts note that the trend is expected to persist given underlying worldwide economic developments. Seeing that the location of both the Swanson and Beacon properties in Val-d’Or, they benefit from being in one of the most prolific and lowest-risk mining jurisdictions globally. The region, specifically the Abitibi Gold Belt of Québec, is known for its gold production, having delivered over 190 million ounces in the past century. LaFleur looks to capitalize heavily on that.
As a means to edge closer to production, the company was set to release its Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) results this month. LaFleur is also running metallurgical testing of the historical drill core in tandem with drilling twin holes and additional holes at its Swanson deposit.
“We’re looking at having (the PEA) results out in December,” noted Paul Ténière, LaFleur’s CEO. “We have lots of side projects on the go as part of the PEA. We’re also going to be doing some metallurgical testing of the historical drill core, and also some drilling that we’re doing now at Swanson. The purpose of that is to verify the historical drilling but also looking at infill as well. So we’ll have all those results back in the next few weeks, and that will all be part of the PEA,” he added (https://ibn.fm/aPjw8).
All these developments mean that LaFleur will enter 2026 strong, and its management is extremely optimistic, now believing that 2026 will be its biggest year yet.
