Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX).

Since 1991, there has existed a recommendation requiring all newborns to receive a vaccine against Hepatitis B at birth. However, an advisory panel on vaccines voted on Friday to end this recommendation and instead recommended that only babies whose mothers have had a positive test for hepatitis B should receive the shot at birth. The panel in question, ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices), advises the CDC on vaccination policy in the U.S. During their recent meeting, the panel voted 8-3 in favor of letting individuals decide whether to have their newborns receive the vaccine or not. This only applies to mothers that haven't tested positive for the virus at the time of delivery. However, some members, such as Retsef Levi, thought that the existing recommendations were "not aligned" with those of other countries across the world. This is despite the fact that the World Health Organization recommends that newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth, at 4 weeks and at 6 months of age. In a memo, President Trump lauded the panel's vote as "very good" and ordered health officials to review all the country's vaccine recommendations and tweak the schedule of the U.S. in cases where other comparable countries had superior recommendations. Companies like Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX) that also have vaccine R&D programs underway will be watching how the decision on hepatitis B vaccination impacts other vaccination programs. 

Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing treatments for rare diseases with high unmet medical needs. Operating through two key segments, the company’s Specialized BioTherapeutics division is dedicated to oncology and inflammation therapies, while its Public Health Solutions segment advances vaccines and therapeutics targeting biothreats and infectious diseases.

The company is actively advancing multiple late-stage clinical programs, including HyBryte™ (SGX301), a novel photodynamic therapy for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Additional candidates in development target psoriasis (SGX302), oral mucositis (SGX942), and Behçet’s disease (SGX945), while its public health efforts focus on heat-stable vaccines for ricin poisoning (RiVax®), Ebola (SuVax™), and Marburg (MarVax™) viruses, that have been supported by non-dilutive government grants and contracts of approximately $60 million to date.

With a diversified pipeline, multiple orphan and fast-track designations, and collaborations with government agencies, Soligenix is uniquely positioned for potential regulatory approvals and commercialization.

The company is headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey.

Pipeline and Development Programs

Specialized BioTherapeutics

Soligenix’s Specialized BioTherapeutics division develops treatments for oncology and inflammatory diseases, focusing on conditions with few or no effective therapeutic options. HyBryte™ (synthetic hypericin) has completed a Phase 3 study for CTCL, demonstrating statistically significant efficacy, and a second confirmatory Phase 3 trial is actively enrolling patients to support potential regulatory submissions worldwide. If approved, it would be the first non-mutagenic photodynamic therapy for early-stage CTCL, addressing an unmet medical need. It has received orphan drug designations in the U.S. and Europe, as well as Fast Track designation in the U.S.

SGX302, a photodynamic therapy based on the same active ingredient as HyBryte™, is in clinical development for mild-to-moderate psoriasis, with positive Phase 1/2 proof-of-concept results, it is actively enrolling patients in a Phase 2a clinical trial.

SGX942, designed to reduce inflammation and tissue damage in oral mucositis associated with cancer treatment, is progressing as a potential first-in-class therapy.
SGX945, targeting aphthous ulcers in Behçet’s disease, is actively enrolling in a Phase 2a clinical trial and has received fast-track designation, highlighting the urgency of developing effective treatments for this rare inflammatory condition.

Public Health Solutions

The company’s Public Health Solutions segment focuses on medical countermeasures for biothreats and emerging infectious diseases, leveraging non-dilutive government funding to advance its programs. RiVax®, a ricin toxin vaccine, has demonstrated strong preclinical and early clinical results and may be eligible for government procurement under the Strategic National Stockpile initiative.

The company’s RiVax®, as well as its vaccine candidates for Ebola and Marburg viruses are based on its proprietary ThermoVax® technology, which stabilizes vaccines for long-term storage without refrigeration. This approach could be transformative in regions where maintaining cold-chain logistics is challenging.

The ongoing development of these vaccines is supported by funding from NIH, BARDA, and DTRA, with the potential for up to three priority review vouchers (PRVs) upon regulatory approval, to be used for future programs or sold. Notably, PRVs have previously sold for roughly $100 million.

Market Opportunity

Soligenix targets markets with significant commercial potential, focusing on rare diseases and biodefense applications. HyBryte™ addresses CTCL, a disease affecting over 68,000 patients across the U.S. and Europe, with a total market opportunity exceeding $250 million. SGX302, the company’s therapy for mild-to-moderate psoriasis, serves a much larger population, as over eight million people in the U.S. are affected by the condition, representing a global market opportunity exceeding $1 billion.

SGX942, developed for oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients, is aimed at a market worth more than $500 million, while SGX945 for Behçet’s disease serves a niche segment valued at over $200 million worldwide.

In addition to its rare disease programs, Soligenix’s Public Health Solutions division has the potential to generate significant revenue through government procurement contracts. By focusing on both orphan drug markets and government-funded biodefense initiatives, Soligenix has positioned itself for sustained revenue growth through multiple high-value opportunities.

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is a fully permitted, pre-production resource company on a clear path to near-term gold and silver production. With established infrastructure in place and a significant gold-silver resource, the company is uniquely positioned to generate near-term cash flow while unlocking the full potential of its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec—one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world.

ESGold is building a foundation for long-term growth through a dual-track strategy: cash-flow generation from tailings reprocessing to fund district-scale exploration.

The Montauban site, which operated as a mine for over 80 years, is now undergoing its first-ever systematic exploration program to determine just how large the remaining deposit may be. Near-term cash flow from tailings reprocessing will be used to fund exploration, with the goal of increasing the resource base and uncovering new discoveries across the expansive land package.

ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that turns legacy mine sites into revenue generating assets while setting a new industry benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The recent completion of a C$3.4M financing has enabled ESGold to initiate the final construction phase of its mill circuit—moving the company decisively toward production of gold and silver in Q3 2025.

Montauban Gold-Silver Project: Production Imminent

Located approximately 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, the Montauban Project is a past-producing gold-silver mine with surface and underground mineralization and over 900,000 tonnes of historical tailings. ESGold has invested over C$15 million to date, building out roads, power access, and a 16,000 sq. ft. processing facility. The company recently completed a C$3.4M financing to begin final construction of the mill circuit.

The company is fully permitted to enter into production that is expected to commence in Q3 2025 with a capacity of 500 tonnes per day, scaling to 1,000 tpd. An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is currently underway to reflect all-time high gold prices and the anticipated upside from the near-surface resource.

Parallels Between Broken Hill & Montauban

Broken Hill, discovered in 1883 in Australia, became the world’s largest source of silver, lead, and zinc—producing over $100 billion worth of metals. What made it unique was that the richest mineral zones were hidden deep underground in a twisted, boomerang-like shape, and it took decades to fully understand just how large the deposit really was.

Geologists now believe ESGold’s Montauban Project in Quebec may share similar traits. Like Broken Hill, it contains high-grade silver, lead, and zinc, along with gold—and sits within the same type of geological system known to host large, high-value mineral deposits. The rock formations, mineral assemblages, and structural complexity all suggest that Montauban could be hiding much more than what’s been historically uncovered. Academic studies now support this possible geological parallel, pointing to further evidence suggesting Montauban was formed under similar conditions as Broken Hill.

Exploration Upside

With production on the horizon, ESGold is advancing a major exploration campaign. Montauban has never undergone systematic modern exploration.

The company is currently completing a large-scale Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey—a powerful 3D imaging technology that will define the size, shape, and continuity of the mineralized system. ANT is already showing strong results, with imaging going beyond the original 400m depth target and now expected to exceed 800m. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to reveal the full extent of the anomaly for the first time in Montauban’s 110-year history.

Scalable, Replicable, Clean Mining

Montauban is also part of a broader vision. Across Canada and globally, there are hundreds of orphaned or legacy mine sites that remain unrehabilitated despite containing valuable residual metals in tailings. Quebec alone is home to more than 259 of these sites, highlighting the scale of the opportunity. ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that transforms legacy sites into productive assets while setting a new benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The company has also performed testing that utilizes Dundee Sustainable Technologies’ CLEVR Process™, a proprietary non-cyanide extraction method that achieved 90.9% gold recovery in lab testing. This clean processing approach remains a valuable and scalable asset supporting ESGold’s near-term production and exploration growth strategy.

As a complement to its core mining operations, ESGold is developing clean technology solutions through a joint venture with DMCMS Inc. This initiative includes a polymer division that manufactures environmentally friendly products such as road stabilizers, dust suppressants, and other industrial blends—expanding the company’s sustainable commercial footprint.

Market Opportunity

ESGold is operating in a unique and specialized segment of the mining industry—reprocessing and revitalizing legacy mine sites. The Montauban Project offers both near-term cash flow and long-term growth potential by converting tailings into revenue while systematically exploring for additional high-value mineral endowments. The company’s established infrastructure, full permitting, and reclamation approvals reduce development risk and enhance execution timelines.

The broader green mining market is projected to reach $15.92 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. This growth is being driven by increased demand for responsible extraction methods, ESG-aligned practices, and critical mineral security. With construction underway at its fully permitted Montauban site—and exploration advancing along a Broken Hill-type geological model—ESGold is well positioned to emerge as Canada’s next premier gold and silver producer.

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF).

Disseminated on behalf of Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) and may include paid advertising.

Lahontan has mobilized a track-mounted MDP-1500 RC drill to its flagship Santa Fe Mine in Nevada's Walker Lane

The company is conducting a 25-hole, 4,000-meter drill program focused on expanding and upgrading oxide gold and silver resources

These updates underscore Lahontan's long-term strategy of advancing Santa Fe from exploration into planning, scheduling, and permitting for the coming year

Lahontan Gold (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) is accelerating its flagship Santa Fe Mine, located in Nevada, by organizing a reverse-circulation drill rig to conduct a strategic fall drill program aimed at upgrading and expanding the project's shallow oxide reserve. Lahontan, known for its position within the Walker Lane trend, is shifting its focus from broad resource definition to more technical groundwork that precedes mine planning and permitting, indicating progress in Santa Fe's efforts towards mineral exploitation ( ibn.fm/2cvRQ ).

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) is a Canadian mine development and exploration company advancing a portfolio of gold and silver assets in Nevada’s Walker Lane, one of the world’s most productive and mining-friendly regions. Through its U.S. subsidiaries, the company controls four gold and silver properties in Nevada, three of which are 100%-owned and one controlled via a low-cost option to acquire full ownership. With a clear near-term path to production, Lahontan is focused on unlocking oxide gold and silver value from past-producing, infrastructure-rich projects.

The company’s mission is to responsibly develop and expand its oxide resources while minimizing capital intensity and maximizing economic returns. Leveraging a strong technical team with a track record of advancing projects and building mines, Lahontan is focused on growing gold and silver resources and hitting permitting milestones across multiple sites. Its strategy prioritizes scalability, efficiency, and timely value realization for shareholders.

By maintaining full project ownership and a capital-light development model, Lahontan Gold is positioned to rapidly transition from development to production.

The company is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario.

Projects

Santa Fe Mine

The 26.4 km² Santa Fe Mine is Lahontan’s flagship asset and core development priority. A past-producing open-pit, heap-leach gold and silver operation, Santa Fe historically yielded more than 359,000 ounces of gold and 702,000 ounces of silver between 1988 and 1995. The site benefits from established infrastructure—including power, water, and road access—and more than 79% of its known resources are unencumbered by royalties.

A 2024 NI 43-101 resource estimate outlines 1.54 million ounces of gold equivalent (AuEq) in the Indicated category and 0.41 million ounces Inferred, all pit-constrained. Oxide resources average among the highest grades in the state and are distributed across five known deposits. A 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) projects strong economic returns, including an after-tax NPV5% of $200 million, a 34.2% internal rate of return (IRR), and average annual production of approximately 50,000 ounces AuEq over an eight-year mine life.

Permitting is well underway for both the Exploration and Mine Plans of Operation, covering over 12 km² and more than 700 drill holes. The company is targeting construction permits in late 2026 and continues to pursue oxide resource expansion and metallurgical optimization, particularly within the Slab-Calvada corridor.

West Santa Fe

West Santa Fe lies just 13 kilometers from the flagship and is being explored as a potential satellite operation. The project is defined by a shallow, oxide-dominant gold-silver system with a conceptual target of 0.5 to 1.0 million ounces AuEq based on historic drilling and recent surface sampling, which returned up to 2.61 g/t Au and 899 g/t Ag (14.6 g/t AuEq). A 6,300-meter Phase One reverse circulation drill program is scheduled for 2025 to validate historical data and support a maiden resource estimate. Development is streamlined under a low-cost option agreement and a rapid permitting path via Notice of Intent.

Moho and Redlich

The Moho and Redlich projects provide additional longer-term upside within Lahontan’s portfolio. Moho features high-grade, oxidized epithermal veins with historic production at grades of 20–25 g/t Au and 300 g/t Ag. A 2019 core drill program confirmed the presence of high-grade mineralization at depth. Redlich, located along trend from the historic Candelaria silver mine, hosts disseminated Ag mineralization in epithermal veins and hydrothermal breccias but remains untested by drilling. While no near-term programs are currently disclosed, both assets represent future exploration optionality.

Market Opportunity

Lahontan Gold operates in Nevada, consistently ranked the top global mining jurisdiction by the Fraser Institute due to its transparent permitting process, legal stability, and established infrastructure. Nevada produces over 4.5 million ounces of gold annually, generating approximately $9 billion in value, and ranks fifth globally in total gold production.

According to the World Gold Council, total gold demand in Q1 2025 reached 1,206 tonnes, up 1% year-over-year, marking the strongest first quarter since 2016. Central banks added 244 tonnes to reserves, a slight slowdown from the prior quarter but well within the strong buying range observed over the past three years. Meanwhile, silver demand is supported by strong industrial usage in solar panels, electric vehicles, and semiconductors, with long-term deficits forecast in the physical silver market.

With macro-driven demand for gold, technology-driven silver consumption, and strong institutional buying across both metals, Lahontan is uniquely positioned to capitalize through its portfolio of oxide-focused projects in a top-tier jurisdiction—offering near-term production potential and longer-term resource expansion.

Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FAIR) (OTC: FCHDF) is a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing high-quality mineral properties in mining-friendly jurisdictions across North America. The company targets projects with historical production, strong multi-metal potential, and clear pathways to discovery through modern geoscience, AI integration, and responsible development practices.

Fairchild’s portfolio is anchored by the Nevada Titan Project, a district-scale, copper-gold system located just outside Las Vegas in the prolific Walker Lane Belt. The company has also entered into an MOU to acquire the advanced-stage Golden Arrow Project in Nevada, subject to completion of a definitive agreement, and it holds 100% ownership of the Fairchild Lake Property in Ontario.

Fairchild’s mission is to build long-term value by identifying overlooked mineralized systems and unlocking their potential using modern exploration methods.

The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Projects

Nevada Titan Project (Goodsprings District, Nevada)

Nevada Titan is Fairchild’s flagship asset and a district-scale, multi-metal opportunity located just 55 kilometers southwest of Las Vegas. Spanning over 6,150 acres (300+ claims), the project sits within the historically productive Goodsprings Mining District—part of the prolific Walker Lane Belt and Battle Mountain Trend extension. The area hosts numerous historic mines, including Copperside, Copper Chief, Azurite, and Fitzhugh Lee, yet remains largely untested by modern drilling.

Surface sampling and geological mapping have confirmed high-grade copper mineralization up to 34.0% Cu, with associated values of gold, silver, molybdenum, and platinum group elements. A 1.5-kilometer copper-gold corridor has been identified, showing pods and lenses of mineralization consistent with a porphyry-skarn-CRD system. Notably, the discovery of a hydrothermal breccia pipe with garnet-bearing skarn textures and elevated molybdenum signals a porphyry-affiliated source at depth.

Ongoing exploration includes drone magnetics, AI-integrated targeting, and induced polarization geophysics. With infrastructure already in place and proximity to Las Vegas contractors, Fairchild is preparing for a 2026 drill campaign focused on unlocking the project’s large-scale copper-gold system.

Golden Arrow Project (Walker Lane Shear Zone, Nevada)

In September 2025, Fairchild signed a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire 100% of the Golden Arrow Project, an advanced-stage gold-silver asset in Nevada’s Walker Lane Trend. The project hosts a historic mineral resource estimate of approximately 347,000 ounces of gold and 5.3 million ounces of silver, including 296,500 ounces of gold and 4.0 million ounces of silver in the measured and indicated categories. According to third-party analysis by mining analyst Ryan D. Long, the total acquisition consideration of $5.0 million equates to approximately $12 per ounce of gold in the ground.

The project’s two main deposits, Gold Coin and Hidden Hill, were historically mined at surface and remain open at depth, supported by over 61,000 meters of past drilling. Modern geophysical work has outlined 34 additional exploration targets, including six classified as high-priority. Hosted in a volcanic complex with both high-grade vein and disseminated mineralization, the system offers strong potential for expansion.

Golden Arrow is situated just 96 kilometers from Kinross’s 28-million-ounce Round Mountain Mine and expands Fairchild’s Nevada footprint by 170% when combined with the Titan Project. The project’s extensive exploration database and near-surface deposits make the acquisition a compelling strategic entry point into a proven district with significant near-term development potential.

Fairchild Lake Property (Savant Lake Greenstone Belt, Ontario)

Fairchild Gold holds 100% ownership of the Fairchild Lake Property, a 2,224-hectare claim package in Ontario’s underexplored Savant Lake greenstone belt. Historical and recent work, including airborne geophysics and soil sampling, has identified anomalous gold values near the Kashaweogama Lake Fault, a major crustal break. The company draws geological comparisons to Red Lake’s LP Fault and views the structural setting as a promising focus for future exploration.

Market Opportunity

Fairchild operates in Tier-1 mining jurisdictions where political stability, established infrastructure, and clear permitting pathways reduce development risk and enhance long-term value. Nevada, in particular, is a top-ranked global destination for mineral exploration and home to some of the world’s most productive gold and copper belts. Fairchild’s flagship project, Nevada Titan, is located in the Walker Lane Belt, a prolific trend responsible for more than 89 million ounces of gold and nearly 1 billion ounces of silver to date.

The company is strongly positioned to benefit from the ongoing historic bull market in gold. In early October 2025, Goldman Sachs raised its December 2026 gold price forecast to $4,900 per ounce, citing strong ETF inflows and sustained central bank demand. A Jefferies analyst has projected gold could reach $6,600 per ounce in the near term, while other major institutions including UBS and Bank of America have also raised their targets amid elevated geopolitical risk, structural reserve diversification, and anticipated U.S. rate cuts. With limited new supply and rising demand from both institutional and retail investors, gold remains a cornerstone of portfolio hedging and upside exposure.

Copper also remains a core strategic focus, with demand expected to double by 2035, driven by electrification, grid modernization, and clean energy buildout, according to S&P Global. The Nevada Titan Project hosts porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization, along with skarn and carbonate replacement features—deposit types that are key global sources of both industrial and precious metals.

Target Verticals

While the potential applications for quantum computing are effectively limitless, D-Wave has identified a number of industry verticals as key areas of focus for its quantum architecture, providing case studies for each. These include:

• Manufacturing – D-Wave worked with Volkswagen to identify a commercial optimization application, the binary paint shop problem, which was run on D-Wave’s hybrid solver service. The solver outperformed four purely classical methods on problem sizes at commercial scale (N=3,000). In a separate project, similar inputs were tested using a leading ion trap system, which failed to find any commercial solution.
• Life Sciences – Menten AI makes use of D-Wave quantum computing to assist in the design of novel therapeutic peptides—short strings of amino acids that can act as potent drugs. With the rise of COVID-19, D-Wave’s Advantage system made it possible to identify molecules that might be especially well-suited for binding and inhibiting the related spike protein, producing several promising peptide designs.
• Finance – Multiverse Computing, a leader in developing quantum solutions for the financial sector, leveraged D-Wave’s hybrid solver service in a collaboration with BBVA, one of the world’s largest financial institutions. Multiverse demonstrated management strategies that far exceeded the granularity of traditional returns in a fraction of the time, helping BBVA identify a low-risk portfolio for investment.

Market Opportunity

The quantum computing total addressable market is projected to grow between $450 billion and $850 billion over the next 15 to 30 years, with between $5 billion and $10 billion of anticipated TAM growth coming in the next three to five years, according to Boston Consulting Group.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF).

This article has been disseminated on behalf of LaFleur Minerals and may include paid advertising.

LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) announces its placement in a MiningNewsWire editorial examining the value typically unlocked as mining companies transition from exploration to production. The piece highlights LaFleur's fully permitted and refurbished gold mill in Québec's Abitibi region, its district-scale land position and its near-term production plans, noting that the company is positioned ahead of regional peers and meaningfully below asset replacement cost. According to the editorial, LaFleur offers leveraged exposure to the explorer-to-producer inflection point, a stage historically associated with some of the strongest returns in the mining sector.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is a Canadian exploration and development company advancing the district-scale Swanson Gold Project in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt and progressing toward the near-term restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill. The company’s strategy centers on consolidating strategic land packages—highlighted by its flagship Swanson Gold Project, a 160 km² district-scale property that includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. The company is leveraging its 100%-owned, fully permitted and recently refurbished Beacon Gold Mill to transition from explorer to near-term gold producer—a key inflection point that typically triggers a market re-rating, further bolstered by current rising gold market prices. By processing material from Swanson and offering custom milling to regional projects, LaFleur aims to generate cash flow with minimal capital outlay, targeting annual gold production of up to 15,000 to 20,000 ounces by early 2026.

LaFleur’s vision is to evolve into an intermediate gold producer by capitalizing on strong market conditions and Québec’s rich mining infrastructure. The location, in the world-class Abitibi Gold Belt, and its infrastructure advantage, positions LaFleur for regional consolidation, strategic partnerships, or acquisition interest. Its mission emphasizes efficient value creation through methodical exploration, low-cost asset advancement, and opportunistic acquisitions—including land and deposits from Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining.

Québec ranks among the world’s top mining jurisdictions, offering access to flow-through capital and regulatory stability. LaFleur’s integrated strategy—combining exploration at Swanson, a permitted mill at Beacon, and potential custom milling agreements—supports a streamlined path to near-term production.

LaFleur Minerals is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Projects

LaFleur Minerals’ operations focus on two strategically located assets in the Abitibi Gold Belt: the Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill and Mine. These projects leverage the region’s world-class mining infrastructure and high-grade gold potential to drive the company’s transition to production.

Swanson Gold Project

The Swanson Gold Project spans 16,600 hectares and hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits along a major structural break in the Abitibi Gold Belt. The 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Swanson deposit outlines 123,400 oz of gold in Indicated category (2.1 million tonnes at 1.8 g/t) and 64,500 oz in Inferred category (872,000 tonnes at 2.3 g/t). Located 66 km north of Val-d’Or, the Project is accessible by road and rail and benefits from more than 36,000 meters of historical drilling, along with existing infrastructure including an 80-meter decline portal.

Recent work—including airborne magnetics, soil sampling, and Induced Polarization surveys—has identified multiple high-priority targets and resulted in several high-grade gold assay results, including a grab sample grading 11.71 g/t Au at Jolin, which points to significant upside as the Company prepares to test multiple new zones.

LaFleur has defined over 50 drill targets at Swanson and nearby prospects (Bartec, Jolin, Marimac) and is completing a minimum 5,000-metre diamond drilling beginning in June 2025. LaFleur Minerals has also initiated permitting for a 100,000-tonne surface bulk sample averaging 1.89 g/t Au, which it plans to process at the Beacon Gold Mill as part of a near-term production strategy.

Beacon Gold Mill

LaFleur’s 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill is a fully refurbished and permitted mill and tailings storage facility capable of processing 750 tonnes per day (tpd), with potential expansion to 1,800 tpd, with access to numerous nearby gold deposits that could be prime sources of ore. Located only 60 km from Swanson, it underwent a $20 million upgrade by Monarch Mining in 2022 and has been under care and maintenance since early 2023. LaFleur is finalizing a C$5-6 million restart plan, ramping up production by late 2025 into early 2026, processing Swanson mineralized material and assessing custom milling opportunities for regional deposits, creating multiple potential revenue streams.

The Beacon Gold Mill is a de-risked, proven asset that benefits from existing infrastructure, including access to roads, power, and skilled labor, and further enhances the overall value proposition of LaFleur by providing a clear path to production and potential revenue-generation.

Market Opportunity

LaFleur Minerals is targeting the gold mining and processing market in Québec’s Abitibi Gold Belt, one of the world’s most productive gold regions. Its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill, with a 750 tpd capacity and authorization to process 1.8 million tonnes of tailings, is strategically positioned to handle material from LaFleur’s Swanson Gold Project and to offer custom milling for nearby deposits such as Granada Gold. The company projects annual production of over 30,000 ounces of gold once in full production, with potential for significant revenue generation based on prevailing market prices.

Global demand for gold remains robust, driven by geopolitical risk, inflation hedging, and central bank accumulation. The World Gold Council forecasts 3-5% annual demand growth through 2030, with average prices expected between $3,200 and $3,500/oz. Within this environment, Québec’s top-tier mining jurisdiction—ranked fifth globally by the Fraser Institute in 2023—offers streamlined permitting and access to flow-through capital. LaFleur’s low-cost Beacon restart (C$5-6 million) and proximity to more than 100 active and historical mines position the company to fill a growing need for small-to-medium scale custom milling.

At Swanson, LaFleur plans to grow its current 187,900-ounce resource toward 1 million ounces through its 2025 drilling program. This hub-and-spoke strategy, leveraging centralized milling and strong local infrastructure, reduces development risk and strengthens LaFleur’s foothold in one of the most attractive gold belts in the world.
