LaFleur Minerals Inc., a Canadian exploration and near-term gold producer, anticipates 2026 to be its biggest year yet, beginning with the restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill. The company has doubled down on its near-term gold production strategy that involves exploration on its own promising properties, while offering the mill’s capacity to other actively productive miners in the area. With gold having rocketed in value to above the $4,000 per ounce mark this year, and demand only rising, LaFleur is set to capitalize on this booming market.
LaFleur Minerals, advancing the district-scale Swanson Gold Project in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt and progressing towards the restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill, is proving to be an investment vehicle for individuals looking to make it big in the not-so-distant future. Having doubled down on its vertically integrated, near-term gold production strategy, which involves exploration and eventual bulk sampling at its Swanson Gold property to provide source of mineralized material for its nearby Beacon Gold Mill, the next factor is the availability of offering its milling capacity to the many surrounding productive miners who can use it, a rare combination that differentiates LaFleur from other junior miners.
LaFleur looks to fire up its flagship operation in the renowned Abitibi Gold Belt of Québec in early 2026. It will source material from its district-scale Swanson Gold Project and produce it through its de-risked 750-ton capacity, fully permitted and refurbished Beacon Gold Mill (https://ibn.fm/OYz5V). The company’s strategy combines exploration at Swanson with the operational advantage of the Beacon Mill, creating a streamlined path to production. This approach allows LaFleur to control costs and timelines more effectively than many peers in the junior mining sector.

This development matters because it represents a concrete step toward increasing gold production in a key mining region at a time of high prices and strong demand. LaFleur’s dual strategy of developing its own resource while providing milling services to others could create multiple revenue streams and reduce operational risks. The planned 2026 restart positions the company to benefit from sustained market conditions while contributing to regional economic activity in Québec’s mining sector.
