LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) has announced the appointments of Paul Ténière, Peter Espig and Jeff Swinoga to its board of directors, a move aimed at bolstering governance and strategic oversight as the company advances the Swanson Gold Project and plans to restart gold production at the Beacon Gold Mill in Val-d'Or, Quebec. The new directors bring extensive experience across mining operations, capital markets and corporate leadership, supporting the company during its next phase of project development and planned production restart.
The company said the appointments come at a critical time as it focuses on developing the Swanson Gold Project, a district-scale asset spanning approximately 18,304 hectares (183 km²) in the Abitibi Gold Belt. The project includes several gold and critical metals prospects previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. LaFleur has consolidated a large land package along a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits and several other showings. The project is easily accessible by road, providing direct access to several nearby gold mills, further enhancing its development potential.
In conjunction with the appointments, Preet Gill and Harveer Sidhu have resigned from the board effective March 15, 2026. The company expressed gratitude for their contributions and noted that the board refresh aligns with its strategic objectives. The new directors are expected to provide valuable insights as LaFleur advances its fully-permitted and refurbished Beacon Gold Mill, which is capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day. The mill is being considered for processing mineralized material from Swanson and for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects.
Paul Ténière brings significant experience in mining operations and project development, having held senior roles at various mining companies. Peter Espig has a strong background in capital markets and corporate finance, while Jeff Swinoga adds expertise in corporate governance and strategic planning. Their collective experience is anticipated to strengthen LaFleur's board as the company navigates the complexities of advancing its projects and restarting production.
LaFleur's mission is to advance mining projects with a focus on the Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill, which the company believes have significant potential to deliver long-term value. The company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol LFLR, on the OTCQB under LFLRF, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under 3WK0.
