LaFleur Minerals Closes $1.66 Million Flow-Through Offering to Advance Drilling and PEA-Related Work at its Swanson Gold Deposit

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (‘LaFleur Minerals’ or the ‘Company’ or ‘Issuer’) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated July 30, 2025, and September 10, 2025, the Company has closed its non-brokered flow-through private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,663,370 (the ‘Private Placement’). The Private Placement consisted of the issuance of 2,410,682 flow-through units (the ‘FT Units’) at a price of $0.69 per FT Unit, with each FT Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (a ‘Share’), to be issued as a ‘flow-through share’ within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the ‘Tax Act’), and one Share purchase warrant (a ‘Warrant’).

The securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period ending on the date that is four months plus one day following the date of issue in accordance with applicable securities laws. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Share (a ‘Warrant Share‘) for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.75 per Warrant Share. The Warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry upon thirty (30) business days notice from the Company in the event the Shares trade for fourteen (14) consecutive trading days anytime after four (4) months from closing of the Private Placement at a volume-weighted average price of at least $0.90 on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

In connection with closing of the Private Placement, the Company incurred cash finder’s fees in the amount of $104,652.14 to certain eligible finders and issued the finders an aggregate of 151,668 non-transferable Share purchase warrants (the ‘Finder’s Warrants‘). Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable into a Share (a ‘Finder’s Warrant Share‘) at a price of $0.75 per Finder’s Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance, subject to the same accelerated expiry.

Proceeds from the sale of FT Units will be used for exploration and drilling programs on the Company’s flagship, advanced stage, district-scale Swanson Gold Project (‘Swanson‘), located in the Abitibi Gold Belt in Val-d’Or, Québec, and flow-through eligible work such as ore-sorting and metallurgical testwork of a large bulk sample using independent geometallurgy experts such as SGS and SRC, and the Company’s 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill, its near-term gold producing asset. The ore-sorting and metallurgical testwork will be completed using drill core and a large bulk sample from the Swanson Gold Deposit in order to inform and support mineral resource estimates and economic viability, including the potential effectiveness of ore-sorting technology at Swanson.

The Company is working diligently with ERM to complete the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to evaluate the restart of gold production at its Beacon Gold Mill, which will primarily process mineralized material from the Company’s nearby Swanson Gold Deposit. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used to incur resource exploration expenses which will constitute ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act and ‘flow through mining expenditures’ as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act and under section 359.1 of the Québec Tax Act (the ‘Qualifying Expenditures‘), which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2025 to the purchasers of the FT Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares. In addition, with respect to Québec resident subscribers who are eligible individuals under the Québec Tax Act, the Canadian exploration expenses will also qualify for inclusion in the ‘exploration base relating to certain Québec exploration expenses’ within the meaning of section 726.4.10 of the Québec Tax Act and for inclusion in the ‘exploration base relating to certain Québec surface mining expenses or oil and gas exploration expenses’ within the meaning of section 726.4.17.2 of the Québec Tax Act. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each FT Share subscriber for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.
