LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) 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 it transitions from an exploration-stage company to a production-focused gold company, with a mandate to identify an executive with experience building early-stage mining companies toward production, executing accretive transactions and driving long-term growth.
LaFleur highlighted a series of recent milestones supporting that transition. In late 2025, the company completed a C$7.8 million financing. It also released 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 showed a 30% increase in indicated gold ounces. Additionally, the company proposed a C$30 million gold prepayment facility and doré offtake agreement with Trafigura Canada. Continued strong drilling results at Swanson and the recent acquisition of the McKenzie East Gold Project further expand its asset base in Québec’s Val-d’Or district.
The company noted that the new executive will be tasked with overseeing the transition to production and driving long-term growth. The Bedford Consulting Group specializes in recruiting senior leaders for mining and resource companies across North America. LaFleur Minerals is focused on the development of district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d’Or, Québec. The company’s mission is to advance mining projects with a laser focus on its PEA-stage Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill, which have significant potential to deliver long-term value.
The Swanson Gold Project is approximately 19,214 hectares (192 km²) in size and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals 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, allowing direct access to several nearby gold mills. The recently refurbished Beacon Gold Mill is capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day and is being considered for processing mineralized material from Swanson and for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects.
