COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE: EMC has been paid $150,000 by LaFleur Minerals, Inc. | Please read our full disclaimer
LaFleur Minerals has 100%-ownership in two production-ready gold assets in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt, including the Beacon Gold Mill and the Swanson Gold Deposit, with a PEA-supported plan to become a gold producer in 2026.
With gold above $4,000/oz and a C$30M Trafigura offtake facility secured, the timeline is accelerating.
Why Gold, Why Québec
Gold Above $4,000/oz — Multi-Year Highs
Gold has surged to record levels driven by central bank buying, geopolitical uncertainty, and inflation hedging. LaFleur’s AISC of $1,569/oz (PEA) implies significant margin potential at current gold prices.
Québec: AAA Mining Jurisdiction
Val-d’Or is globally recognized for mining-friendly regulation, skilled labour, and modern infrastructure. The Abitibi Belt has produced over 200 million ounces of gold historically — it is one of the most productive gold districts on Earth.
Junior Producers Command Premium Valuations
The market re-rates junior mining companies significantly as they transition from exploration to production — a catalyst that LaFleur is actively approaching with a 2026 production timeline and a fully permitted, recently refurbished mill already in hand.

Three Reasons LaFleur Stands Apart
Own The Economics
Most junior miners face a major bottleneck: access to processing capacity. LaFleur eliminates this constraint entirely by owning the Beacon Gold Mill — a fully permitted, 750 tpd facility in Val-d’Or that underwent over $20 million in upgrades by Monarch Mining in 2022. The 100% owned mill is a strategic advantage. It also opens a custom milling revenue stream for regional partners, diversifying beyond LaFleur’s own ore.
Mine-to-Mill Operation
The PEA by ERM outlines a fully vertically integrated mine-to-mill production cycle: mine at Swanson, haul ~60km, process at Beacon. This 100%-owned, district-scale model is rare for a junior miner and directly supports the low C$31M initial CAPEX pathway. The Swanson Deposit sits on an existing mining lease, further de-risking the development timeline.
Financing Secured
On April 15, 2026, LaFleur announced a term sheet with Trafigura — a global commodity trading house — for a C$30M prepayment facility and gold offtake agreement. This non-dilutive institutional backing signals serious confidence in the production restart plan and significantly de-risks the path to first gold pour. This level of counterparty credibility is unusual for a company at LaFleur’s market stage.
Project Assets
Two STRATEGIC Assets, One Integrated Vision
LaFleur’s 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill and Swanson Gold Deposit form a complementary, district-scale development strategy — 60 km apart, connected by existing CN rail infrastructure, in one of the world’s most prolific gold belts.
Flagship Deposit
Swanson Gold Deposit
A district-scale opportunity in the heart of the Abitibi Gold Belt.
The Swanson Gold Project now spans 19,214 hectares (192 km²), 464 mineral claims and 1 mining lease and is accessible by both road and rail, with several nearby gold mills — including LaFleur’s own Beacon Gold Mill within 50 km. The project includes multiple gold-bearing target zones — the Swanson Gold Deposit, Bartec, and Jolin — supported by over 36,000 metres of historical drilling data.
Advanced exploration-stage deposit with a 2026 NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate and a large historical drill database, located on an existing mining lease in the heart of the Abitibi Belt.
- Indicated: 2.96 Mt @ 1.69 g/t Au = 160,300 oz Au
- Inferred: 1.08 Mt @ 1.93 g/t Au = 66,800 oz Au
- 30% resource increase vs. prior MRE
- Historic intercepts: 69.3m @ 3.03 g/t Au; 51.0m @ 3.46 g/t Au
- Expansion potential: Bartec, Jolin satellites targeting 1M oz
- 36,000m drill database — 242 historical holes

Trafigura Backs LaFleur With C$30M Non-Dilutive Facility
LaFleur has entered into a term sheet with Trafigura Canada Limited — one of the world’s leading commodity trading and logistics companies — for a C$30 million prepayment facility combined with a long-term gold offtake agreement. This institutional-grade arrangement is structured to be non-dilutive to existing shareholders and is designed to fund the planned restart of gold production at the Beacon Gold Mill.
Securing a global trading house of Trafigura’s caliber as both a financial backer and gold offtake partner at this stage of development is a significant validation of LaFleur’s assets, management team, and production timeline.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain information included in this presentation, including any information as to our future exploration, financial or operating performance and other statements that express management’s expectations or estimates of future performance, constitute ‘forward-looking statements’ within the meaning of the ‘safe harbour’ provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities laws. The words ‘expect’, ‘believe’, ‘will’, ‘intend’, ‘estimate’ and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, risks and contingencies, including the possibility that drill programs will not yield the expected results. The Company cautions the reader that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of LaFleur Minerals Inc. to be materially different from the Company’s estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements and that the forwardlooking statements are not guarantees of future performance. These statements are also based on certain factors and assumptions.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Estimates of Mineral Resources: The mineral resource estimates reported in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States’ securities laws. The CIM Definition Standards differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Guide 7 (the “SEC Guide 7”). The terms “mineral resource”, “Measured mineral resource”, “Indicated mineral resource” and “Inferred mineral resource” are defined in NI 43-101 and recognized by Canadian securities laws but are not defined terms under SEC Guide 7 or recognized under U.S. securities laws. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be upgraded to mineral reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “Inferred mineral resource” will ever by upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of “Inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves, and do not have demonstrated economic viability, but do have reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by geology, environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues. Measured and Indicated mineral resources are sufficiently well defined to allow geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed and permit the application of technical and economic parameters in assessing the economic viability of the resource. Inferred mineral resources are estimated on limited information not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity or to allow technical and economic parameters to be applied. Inferred mineral resources are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies or economic studies except for Preliminary Assessment as defined under NI 43-101. Readers are cautioned not to assume that further work on the stated resources will lead to mineral reserves that can be mined economically.be a comprehensive review of all matters and developments concerning the Company. It should be read in conjunction with all other disclosure documents of the Company. The information contained herein is not a substitute for detailed investigation or analysis. No securities commission or regulatory authority has reviewed the accuracy or adequacy of the information presented. This presentation contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation. Such forward looking statements concern the Company’s anticipated results and developments in the Company’s operations and financial condition in future periods, planned exploration and development of its properties, plans related to its business and other matters that may occur in the future. Forward looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by words such as the following: expects, plans, anticipates, believes, intends, estimates, projects, assumes, potential and similar expressions, and include reference to events or conditions that will, would, may, could or should occur. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on expectations of future performance, including silver, gold, tellurium, tungsten, lead, zinc and copper production and planned work programs, cash flow forecasts, projected capital and operating costs, and metal price assumptions. Statements concerning mineral resource estimates may also constitute forward looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed. Forward looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements, including, without limitation: risks related to precious and base metal price fluctuations; risks related to fluctuations in the currency markets (particularly the Canadian and United States dollars); risks related to the inherently dangerous activity of mining, including conditions or events beyond our control, and operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, development and mining activities; uncertainty in the Company’s ability to raise financing and fund the exploration and development of its mineral properties; uncertainty as to actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns, and uncertainty that development activities will result in profitable mining operations; risks related to reserves and mineral resource figures being estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated and to diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined; risks related to governmental regulations and obtaining necessary licenses and permits; risks related to the business being subject to environmental laws and regulations which may increase costs of doing business and restrict our operations; risks related to mineral properties being subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers, or claims and other defects in title; risks relating to inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance; risks related to potential litigation; risk related to the global economy; risks related to environmental laws; risks related to political, economic, social and regulatory instability. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward looking statements. The Company’s forward looking statements are based on beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. For the reasons set forth above, actual results may vary from those implied or projected by forward looking statements and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on such statements.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”): The PEA is preliminary in nature, and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.
