LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) has successfully closed public and private offerings, generating aggregate gross proceeds of more than C$11 million. The funds will be used to restart gold production at the company's Beacon Gold Mill, sourcing mineralized material from the Swanson Gold Deposit located in Quebec's Abitibi Gold Belt, Canada's largest gold-producing region. The financing also supports continued drilling programs on the Swanson Gold Project and the newly acquired McKenzie East Gold Project.
The company announced the results of its recent financing on June 9, detailing the aggregate gross proceeds of C$11,015,760, along with service commissions tied to the offerings and qualifying exploration expenses associated with its charitable flow-through shares. This capital injection comes at a time when gold prices have seen a meteoric rise over the past year and a half, positioning LaFleur to become firmly profitable once production resumes, especially given its strategically low base case planning.
LaFleur's near-term production strategy focuses on restarting the Beacon Gold Mill, which will process material from the Swanson deposit. The company's aggressive exploration program aims to expand resources at Swanson and test new targets at McKenzie East. The Abitibi Greenstone Belt is renowned for its gold endowment, hosting numerous past and present producing mines.
The company's management emphasizes that the financing will enable key milestones, including mill refurbishment and resource expansion drilling.
