10:08 AM EDT, 06/10/2026 (MT Newswires) -- LaFleur Minerals ( LFLRF ) acquired a 100% right, title and interest in a package of 27 mineral claims totalling about 701.7 hectares in the Val-d'Or mining district within Quebec's Abitibi Gold Belt adjacent to its McKenzie East project for C$35,000, it said on Wednesday.

The company is also preparing to resume diamond drilling at the Swanson Gold Deposit to test the down-plunge and depth extensions of the mineralized system. The upcoming drill program will target priority zones below the current resource model where recent drilling has highlighted the potential for higher-grade shoots and continued resource growth, supporting its objective of expanding the mineral resource and advancing the Swanson Gold Deposit as a long-term source of mill feed for the fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill, it said.

"Consolidating prospective, historically explored ground in the heart of the Abitibi Gold Belt in the same belt as our Swanson Gold Project and Beacon Gold Mill is central to our district-scale strategy," said LaFleur Minerals ( LFLRF ) Vice President of Exploration Marc Ducharme. "The Property covers ground that hosts the historical Maruska gold showing within the Pascalis-Tiblemont batholith, and we look forward to compiling the available historical data and conducting aggressive exploration strategies and drilling potential historical targets as we continue to build long-term value for our shareholders."

Shares of the company were last seen down 3.8% at $0.32 on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
