LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) announced it has engaged The Bedford Consulting Group, a North American executive search and talent advisory firm, to recruit a senior mining executive as the company advances toward the restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill in Québec. The appointment is intended to strengthen leadership capacity as the company transitions from an exploration-stage company to a production-focused gold company, with a mandate to identify an executive experienced in building early-stage mining companies toward production, executing accretive transactions, and driving long-term growth.
The company has highlighted a series of recent milestones supporting that transition. These include a C$7.8 million financing completed in late 2025, a positive preliminary economic assessment (PEA) outlining a scalable restart plan for the Beacon Gold Mill anchored by feed from the nearby Swanson Gold Deposit, an updated mineral resource estimate showing a 30% increase in indicated gold ounces, and a proposed C$30 million gold prepayment facility and doré offtake agreement with Trafigura Canada. The company also noted continued strong drilling results at Swanson and the recent acquisition of the McKenzie East Gold Project, which expands its asset base in Québec’s Val-d’Or district.
