Notable Quotes

• Kal Malhi, Chairman: "LaFleur Minerals is blessed to have the fully updated and permitted Beacon Gold Mill... This puts LaFleur Minerals in a unique category of a full-fledged near-term gold producer in the prolific Abitibi Gold District."
• Paul Ténière, CEO: "Near-surface grades such as 7.47 g/t Au over 1.35 metres and 7.68 g/t Au over 1.0 metre reinforce the strong opportunity for additional shallow mineralization along strike to the Swanson Gold Deposit... The very encouraging intercept of 17.80 g/t Au over 1.0 metre with anomalous molybdenite and copper mineralization in the Laflamme intrusion demonstrates the high-grade gold potential and different style of mineralization in a new area near the Bartec target."
