LaFleur Minerals Inc. has appointed Paul Ténière, Peter Espig and Jeff Swinoga to its board of directors as the company advances development of the Swanson Gold Project and plans to restart gold production at the Beacon Gold Mill in Québec's Abitibi Gold Belt. The company stated the new directors bring extensive experience across mining operations, capital markets and corporate leadership, supporting governance and strategic oversight during its next phase of project development and planned production restart in Val-d'Or, Quebec.
The board appointments come as LaFleur Minerals focuses on developing district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d'Or. The company's mission centers on advancing mining projects with particular attention to its resource-stage Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill, which have significant potential to deliver long-term value according to company statements. The Swanson Gold Project encompasses approximately 18,304 hectares and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining.
LaFleur has recently consolidated a large land package along a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits and several other showings which make up the Swanson Gold Project. The project's accessibility by road allows direct access to several nearby gold mills, enhancing its development potential. Meanwhile, the company's fully-permitted and 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.

These leadership changes occur as Preet Gill and Harveer Sidhu have resigned from the board effective March 15, 2026, marking a strategic shift in the company's governance structure as it prepares for production activities.
The appointments signal LaFleur Minerals' commitment to strengthening its operational and financial expertise as it transitions toward production. For business leaders and technology professionals monitoring the mining sector, this development represents a case study in how junior mining companies strategically position themselves for growth by enhancing board-level capabilities. The combination of mining operations experience with capital markets knowledge suggests the company is preparing for both the technical challenges of production and the financial requirements of scaling operations in a competitive gold market.
