LaFleur Minerals Hires Executive Search to Lead Gold Production Restart

LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) has taken a significant step toward becoming a gold producer by engaging The Bedford Consulting Group, a North American executive search firm, to recruit a senior mining executive. This move is part of the company's strategic transition from an exploration-stage company to a production-focused gold company, as it prepares to restart gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill in Québec. The new executive will be tasked with building early-stage mining companies toward production, executing accretive transactions, and driving long-term growth. LaFleur's recent milestones supporting this transition include a C$7.8 million financing completed in late 2025, a positive preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for a scalable restart plan at the Beacon Gold Mill using feed from the nearby Swanson Gold Deposit, and an updated mineral resource estimate showing a 30% increase in indicated gold ounces. Additionally, the company has secured a proposed C$30 million gold prepayment facility and doré offtake agreement with Trafigura Canada, and has reported strong drilling results at Swanson along with the acquisition of the McKenzie East Gold Project in Québec's Val-d'Or district.

LaFleur Minerals is focused on developing district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d'Or, Québec. The company's flagship Swanson Gold Project spans approximately 19,214 hectares and includes several gold and critical metal prospects. The Beacon Gold Mill, recently refurbished with a capacity of over 750 tonnes per day, is central to the company's production plans, as it can process mineralized material from Swanson and undertake custom milling for other nearby projects. The positive PEA released in March 2026 underscores the project's viability. LaFleur's strategy is to create long-term value through these assets, and the recruitment of a seasoned executive is a key component of that vision.
