LaFleur Minerals Reports Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for Swanson Gold Project
March 16, 2026 – LaFleur Minerals Inc. Announced positive results from a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Swanson Gold Project, located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec, Canada. The findings suggest the project is poised to develop into a near-term gold producer, capitalizing on the region’s established mining infrastructure and a favorable gold market.
The PEA, released on March 13, 2026, characterizes the gold mining operation as “straightforward” and “capital efficient,” with the potential for “significant economic returns.” The assessment considers the benefits of LaFleur’s wholly-owned Beacon Gold Mill, the resources at the Swanson Gold Deposit, and the project’s location near skilled labor and equipment suppliers in Val d’Or. This proximity to existing resources is expected to streamline development and reduce costs.
According to the company, the Swanson Gold Project is advancing toward production profitability. LaFleur Minerals has demonstrated a combination of strong drilling results, robust economic metrics, and near-term production potential, positioning it as a notable emerging producer in the region. The report anticipates a “technically straightforward, capital efficient project with significant economic returns” thanks to the Swanson Gold Deposit and existing mining lease.
The company’s flagship project benefits from its location within the Abitibi Gold Belt, a well-established mining region known for its rich gold deposits. Investors are closely watching LaFleur Minerals as it progresses toward production, with the PEA serving as a key milestone in the development process.
