LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) has announced the appointments of Marc Ducharme as Vice President of Exploration and Mike Petrina as Vice President of Mining Operations, according to a press release disseminated by InvestorWire. These additions are intended to bolster the company's technical and operational expertise as it advances the Swanson Gold Project and prepares for a near-term restart of its Beacon Gold Mill in Quebec's Abitibi Gold Belt.
Ducharme brings extensive experience in mineral discovery and development, having previously led exploration at Probe Gold prior to its $770 million acquisition by Fresnillo. Petrina's background includes work advancing the Novador project, which positions him well to oversee mining operations. The appointments are expected to enhance LaFleur's ability to execute its mine-to-mill strategy, accelerate exploration activities, and transition toward gold production.
The company is focused on district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d'Or, Quebec. Its flagship Swanson Gold Project spans approximately 19,214 hectares (192 km²) and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. The project is easily accessible by road, providing direct access to several nearby gold mills. LaFleur's recently refurbished Beacon Gold Mill, capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day, is being considered for processing mineralized material from Swanson and for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects.
In March 2026, LaFleur released positive results from a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Swanson Gold Project and the planned restart of the Beacon Gold Mill. The company believes these assets have significant potential to deliver long-term value. For the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/SvQAs.
