Lafleur Minerals (CSE:LFLR) - Swanson Expansion Targets 500k–1M oz Resource in Quebec Gold Camp

Interview with Jean Lafleur, Technical Adviser, Lafleur MineralsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/lafleur-minerals-cse-lflr-positioning-for-near-term-gold-production-7636Recording date: 24th September 2025Lafleur Minerals is emerging as a unique player in Quebec’s gold sector by combining operational infrastructure with a growing mineral base in the prolific Val-d’Or camp. At the heart of its strategy is the fully permitted Beacon Mill, a 500-750 ton per day processing facility located near Val-d’Or. Unlike competitors who must wait years for permitting and construction, Lafleur can restart operations for just $5-6 million, with expected gold recovery rates exceeding 97%. This operational advantage not only provides immediate revenue opportunities through toll milling but also underpins the company’s acquisition strategy of targeting smaller deposits within a 100-kilometer radius—resources that larger producers typically overlook.The company’s flagship Swanson gold project is undergoing an ambitious expansion under the guidance of Technical Adviser Jean Lafleur. Recent drilling has expanded the property’s size five to six times, confirming mineralization across a strike length of more than two kilometers. Geological analysis highlights an orogenic gold system with both classic quartz vein mineralization and sulfide-rich zones, offering near-surface, open-pit potential. The company is targeting a 500,000 to 1 million ounce resource, positioning Swanson as a key growth driver alongside the mill.High gold prices exceeding $3,600 per ounce create especially favorable conditions for Lafleur’s model. With infrastructure already in place, near-surface deposits, and a scalable milling capacity, the company can generate cash flow faster and at lower cost than traditional exploration-driven peers. By leveraging its mill, Lafleur can build a pipeline of deposits—historical mines, new discoveries, or neighboring properties—to secure long-term feed and multi-year production horizons.Backed by Jean Lafleur’s decades of geological experience and the established logistics of Val-d’Or, Lafleur Minerals is positioned not only as an exploration company but as a vertically integrated developer with immediate revenue potential and a clear growth trajectory in Canada’s most prolific gold camp.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/lafleur-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
