LaFleur Minerals Advances Beacon Gold Mill Restart in Québec's Abitibi Belt

LaFleur Minerals reports progress restarting Beacon Gold Mill in Québec, advancing mine-to-mill strategy with Swanson Gold Project in Abitibi Greenstone Belt.

The restart of LaFleur Minerals' Beacon Gold Mill represents a significant development in the Canadian mining sector, particularly for gold investors and regional economic stakeholders. As gold prices remain elevated amid global economic uncertainty, operational mills in proven mining districts like Québec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt become increasingly valuable assets. The company's vertically integrated approach—combining its Swanson Gold Deposit with the processing capacity of the Beacon Mill—could significantly reduce time-to-production and operational costs compared to traditional mining development timelines. This matters because efficient, cost-controlled gold production in stable jurisdictions like Canada provides investors with exposure to precious metals while mitigating geopolitical risks associated with mining operations in less stable regions. Additionally, the mill's potential for custom processing services could support smaller mining operations in the area, potentially revitalizing regional mining activity and creating economic opportunities in Val-d'Or and surrounding communities.
