LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) has announced a new gold discovery at its Bartec target within the Swanson Gold Project in Quebec’s Abitibi Greenstone Belt, according to a MiningNewsWire report disseminated on behalf of the company. The discovery highlights potential to expand the project’s existing mineral resources.
Drilling at Bartec intersected 6.05 grams per tonne of gold over 8.00 meters, including 14.96 grams per tonne over 3.00 meters. The Bartec target is located approximately five kilometers from the main Swanson Gold Deposit. The company has prioritized Bartec for follow-up drilling, while additional results from the Jolin and Jackson targets have identified further mineralized zones and extended gold mineralization across the property.
LaFleur aims to expand its resource base through ongoing exploration, with an updated mineral resource estimate targeted for the second quarter of 2027. In a separate development, the company is negotiating a definitive agreement with Trafigura Canada Limited for a proposed prepayment and gold doré offtake financing facility of up to C$30 million. That financing could support development activities if finalized.
“The Bartec discovery is a significant step in demonstrating the district-scale potential of the Swanson Gold Project,” the company said in the release. “We are encouraged by the results at Bartec, Jolin, and Jackson, and we will continue to advance exploration across the property.”

LaFleur Minerals is focused on developing district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d’Or, Québec. Its principal assets include the Swanson Gold Project and the wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill, which together support its strategy to advance toward gold production. The Swanson Gold Project encompasses a substantial land package hosting the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin targets, along with other gold and critical-metal showings. The Beacon Gold Mill is a permitted processing facility with a capacity of approximately 750 tonnes per day and is in the final stages of recommissioning. LaFleur intends to leverage the mill to process mineralized material from Swanson and to evaluate custom milling opportunities for other regional mining projects.
The Bartec discovery matters because it could add to the resource base of the Swanson Gold Project at a time when the company is also pursuing up to C$30 million in financing. If the financing is finalized and exploration continues to yield positive results, LaFleur could be positioned to move toward its goal of gold production. The company’s shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol LFLR and on the OTCQB under LFLRF. More information about the company is available at www.LaFleurMinerals.com.
