LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (‘LaFleur Minerals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the engagement of global mining, sustainability, and environmental consultant firm Environmental Resources Management (‘ERM’) for the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’) for the purpose of restarting gold production at the Company’s wholly-owned Beacon Gold Mill using mineralized material from its Swanson Gold Deposit (‘Swanson’). Both the Swanson Gold Project and Beacon Gold Mill are located in proximity to one another and strategically positioned in one of the world’s largest and most established gold-producing regions, the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. On the back of recent news of the ongoing drilling program that is delivering encouraging high-grade assay results that suggest continuity and scale of the mineralized system, and potential for further expansion at the Swanson Gold Deposit (refer to press release dated September 24, 2025), ERM now brings a highly experienced technical team to deliver a robust mining and economic study for the restart of the Beacon Gold Mill using mineralized material primarily supplied from the Company’s Swanson Gold Deposit.

LaFleur Minerals IS AIMING TO RESTART THE BEACON GOLD MILL USING MINERALIZED MATERIAL PRIMARILY SUPPLIED FROM THE COMPANY’S 100%-OWNED SWANSON GOLD DEPOSIT, LOCATED IN VAL D’OR, QUEBEC, CANADA, WITH TOLL MILLING OPTIONS FROM OTHER REGIONAL COMPANY DEPOSITS.

Kal Malhi, Chairman of LaFleur Minerals, comments, ‘Advancing the Beacon Gold Mill to restart gold production with gold prices at record levels above US$3,800 per ounce offers amazing economic potential. The Beacon Gold Mill last operated in 2022 when the price of gold was US$1,600 per ounce. Having 100% ownership of the Beacon Gold Mill, along with a fully permitted tailings storage facility and the nearby Swanson Gold Deposit differentiates LaFleur Minerals from single facet junior gold exploration companies and offers investors a true near-term gold producing investment. LaFleur isn’t relying on toll milling other companies’ gold deposits, but a fully functional and vertically integrated gold mining company on the cusp of producing ounces aimed for early 2026 from its own Swanson Gold Deposit.’

Preliminary Economic Assessment Study

The Company is working diligently with ERM to complete the PEA in the coming weeks. The PEA will be managed by ERM’s Technical Mining Services Group, based in Toronto, Ontario, which operates as the technical services arm of ERM. ERM acquired CSA Global in 2019 to strengthen its capabilities in mineral resource/reserve evaluation, mining and metallurgical engineering, and to complement its established business in environmental stewardship and sustainable development across the mining sector. ERM’s Technical Mining Services Group will oversee and disclose technical study results as part of the PEA, including the mineral resource estimate update, open-pit mine plan, and ore-sorting and metallurgical testing programs and Beacon Gold Mill restart costs. The ERM team includes highly experienced mining engineers, metallurgists, resource geologists, and environmental and sustainability specialists, ensuring a comprehensive and multidisciplinary evaluation. This collaboration underscores LaFleur Minerals’ commitment to responsible resource development and positions the Company to capitalize on the current gold market momentum.

The PEA will serve as the basis for the restart of Beacon Mill, which was recently refurbished with over $20 million worth of upgrades and includes a fully permitted tailings storage facility. Beacon Gold Mill’s state of readiness significantly reduces CAPEX and the timeline for a production restart, which the Company expects will be validated through a realistic PEA. The PEA will also benefit from mill operating data from 2022 when the mill last ran at gold price of US$1600/ounce and aims to provide accurate, real-world cost estimates across mining, milling, and tailings operations.

Regulations require companies to define initial mineral resources on a project via a PEA, and this applies to the Beacon Gold Mill production restart and the Swanson Gold Deposit. The Company believes that there are three reasons why the PEA, which includes restarting the Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material supply from the Swanson Gold Deposit, will be a sufficient and comprehensive plan for gold production restart.

1. Realistic Costing: The PEA will provide a AACE class 5 estimate understanding of costs, from blasting, mining, moving a tonne of material to milling, and to operating the tailings treatment facility. Additionally, the mill was operational as recent as two years ago, so costs for that facility are also well understood. Most PEA studies rely on rough estimates for milling costs; the inclusion of the Beacon Mill in the PEA will have realized operating costs from when the mill last operated in 2022, at a time when the price of gold was US$1,600 per ounce.

2. The Beacon Gold Mill was recently refurbished by Monarch Mining for C$20 million in 2022 and is already built with a state of readiness to restart. Most PEA studies include as-yet unanswered questions on essential aspects; examples include a full definition of processing flowsheets, mining methods, tailings facility design, or human resource requirements. With the Beacon Mill having operated only a few years ago and with the Company having studied and remedied many of the issues from that period over the last 18 months, there are very few outstanding engineering questions at the Beacon Mill aside from equipment upgrades. A Mining Model for the restart has been reviewed and refined by LaFleur and Consultants and will form a strong part of the PEA, maintenance and repairs.

Tailings Dam Lift

As part of the PEA disclosure, LaFleur Minerals has conducted technical studies to support upgrades to the Tailing Pond located at the Beacon Mill, providing complete details of the required upgrades and associated costs.

Definition Drilling

Definition drilling at the Swanson Gold Deposit is currently underway with ‘twinning’ of mineralized holes at the Swanson Deposit. This effort is expected to provide confident updated mineral resource confirmation at the Swanson Gold Deposit using a diamond drill.

The twinned holes are planned to confirm and refine the spacing between historical intercepts, thereby confirming the existing geological model and analytical results that define the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Swanson Project.

Open-Pit Mining Scenario at Swanson Gold Deposit

The entirety of the MRE at the Swanson Gold Deposit is located on an existing mining lease, and permitting is in progress to extract mineralization destined for the Beacon Gold Mill. The mining lease permits the extraction of a large bulk sample of mineralized material with minimal permitting requirements.

As part of the PEA, LaFleur Minerals has commissioned an ore-sorting study using Swanson Gold Deposit material in partnership with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC). The ore-sorting technology will concentrate the mineralized material prior shipment by truck to the Beacon Gold Mill, reducing trucking costs and minimizing waste rock processing at the Beacon Gold Mill. The ore-sorted material will also undergo metallurgical testing by SGS Minerals in Lakefield to simulate metallurgical results at the Beacon Gold Mill.

The Swanson Gold Deposit is easily road accessible with minimal infrastructure improvements required and only ~60 kilometres from the Beacon Gold Mill, making it an ideal source of mineralized material to be trucked over for processing. LaFleur Minerals is currently receiving detailed quotation for trucking concentrate material from the Swanson Gold Deposit to the Beacon Gold Mill, and these costs will form part of the market studies and contracts section of the PEA. The Abitibi region is otherwise flush with nearby deposits that could be potential sources of material for custom milling purposes (refer to Figure 1).

Paul Ténière, CEO of LaFleur Minerals, commented, ‘Engaging a consulting firm of the caliber and reputation of ERM to complete our PEA marks a significant milestone for LaFleur Minerals. By combining our district-scale exploration and resource potential with the fully-permitted Beacon Gold Mill, we are advancing a near-term, sustainable production pathway in one of the world’s most prolific gold camps. This is an exciting step that positions us to unlock significant value for shareholders. We think we are strongly aligned with both strong investor appetite for safe, secure, and high-quality assets and favorable market timing with gold trading near record levels, as we advance the Swanson Gold Deposit with near-term production potential.‘

(TheNewswire)

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA TheNewswire – October 6, 2025 – Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces its subsidiary, EnerCam Resources Co. Ltd. (Cambodia) (‘EnerCam’) has reviewed preliminary data from South Bokor Basin from the 2-D seismic program recently completed on Block VIII (‘Project’).

Keith Edwards, Technical Manager of EnerCam, comments on South Bokor Basin, ‘We have a

preliminary view of what appears as a substantial structure in the most southerly South Bokor Basin.  The structure, which is an anticline, appears to have roughly 48 square kilometers of closure and has been named the ‘South Bokor Lead’, located between 900-1500 meters from surface. We look forward to confirmation of internal structures upon completion of seismic processing and an integrated geological and geophysical interpretation in November. As we receive more data, and can apply that to the other basins, we look to determine a trend that may develop as we cover the central and more northern portions of the seismic program.   M anagement has confirmed the South Bokor Lead as the first drill target identified from the seismic program.’

Figure 1 : The map above is based on 7 East West lines and is the map of a major unconformity that is clearly visible on the seismic.  Layers above the mapped horizon are thought to be Cretaceous-Jurassic age while the layers below are thought to be Lower Jurassic to Permian in age.  This hypothesis is based on analogs in the Khorat Plateau in Thailand.

The anticline identified as the South Bokor Lead results from the interpretation of the first of four subbasins the seismic program covered on Block VIII and was the first area on which seismic was shot early in August and the first data to be received.  The remaining data from other areas of seismic is expected in segments by the latter part of October and the interpretation of that data will continue and follow thereafter.

Structural Anticline

Top of the anticline lies between two sets of semi-parallel surface hills, one side of which has a gentler slope than the other.   Reference:  geowhy.com, Oregon Basin Oil Field, Geology of Wyoming.

Anticlines contribute to the majority of oil and gas discoveries globally.   However, in order to trap hydrocarbons, there must be an impermeable layer of rock on the top surface of the dome to hold the hydrocarbons in place, one of the elements which only drilling can prove.

The mission for EnerCam is to discover Cambodia’s first commercial onshore oil and gas, as currently the country imports all its hydrocarbon-based energy products, spending several billion dollars per year.   (reference:  Cambodia imports: oec.world/en/profile/country/khm).  The seismic program included 24 lines across three provinces, employed 38 Khmer residents with 15 contractors coming from Thailand with the EnviroSeis equipment.

Edwards provides further comments, ‘ The Khmer teams were amazing, happy to learn and accomplished the work, despite the challenges.  The initial seismic data clearly shows the gross structure and various bright spots and unconformities, but we have only just started the interpretation and need more time to refine and draw definitive conclusions.’

Mike Weeks, President of EnerCam, comments ‘ Proving there is commercial oil and gas in Cambodia starts with seismic giving us sufficient information to determine drill targets.   Based on that, we are very pleased with now knowing the first subbasin is an anticline with four way closure.   This is the foundation for building out a robust program as we advance to more interpretation across the area of seismic completed.   Drilling is the only way to prove an oil and gas resource, and with no history of onshore drilling in Cambodia, the process of determining the best targets takes longer.    We still have three more subbasins to cover, so by the end of this year the science will tell us if we can plan a multi-hole exploratory drill program for next year.’

Figure 3 : An EW seismic line over the South Bokor Structure

A description of the seismic from professional geologist Justin Snelling follows.  ‘Our preliminary view of the seismic reflections across the top of the structure is that they are mostly sub-parallel bedded, with seismic features that encourage us to believe there may be a thick sealing mudstone band which can form a good seal just above the mapped surface. The reflections within the anticline are discontinuous, structurally more complex, and display higher amplitudes, encouraging us to hope for significant reservoir rock development. If we are correct in our assumptions, then it is likely that fluids are trapped within this closed structure. Until the structure is drilled however, and actual petrophysical data gathered, there is no way to know what the composition of these rocks might be, nor that of any hydrocarbon fluids which may have been trapped within this four-way closure, or yet the potential value of any such resources trapped in this structure.’

Additional processing and interpretation is ongoing across the entire 24 lines of completed seismic.
