    From Permits to Pouring Gold: The Power of Being Production-Ready

    This article has been disseminated on behalf of LaFleur Minerals Inc. and may include a paid advertisement. MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The most powerful moment to get involved in a mining company’s story is often not at the earliest discovery stage, or even after production is fully established, but at the precise inflection point when a company transitions from explorer to producer. This is the stage where geological risk has been substantially reduced, infrastructure decisions have been made and capital is finally aligned with execution, creating the conditions for outsized valuation re-ratings. Solid funding is essential at this juncture, as it allows management teams to shift from conceptual planning to tangible value creation. This scenario is now taking shape at LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (Profile), a Québec-based gold company that recently completed an oversubscribed and upsized $7.8 million financing and is now funded to restart production at its Beacon Gold Mill, positioning the company at exactly the point where upside potential historically accelerates. LaFleur stands out in a crowded junior mining landscape because it controls a rare combination of advanced exploration assets and fully permitted, refurbished production infrastructure in one of the world’s most prolific gold regions. The company owns the Beacon Gold Mill outright, a modern facility in excellent condition that has already undergone substantial upgrades, while also advancing its wholly owned Swanson Gold Project as a near-term source of mineralized material. Despite being years ahead of many regional peers that are still navigating permitting and infrastructure hurdles, LaFleur continues to trade at a discount to the underlying value of its assets, creating what appears to be a compelling disconnect between market valuation and operational readiness. LaFleur is at a strategic inflection point as it transitions to near-term revenue generation in Canada’s largest gold-producing region, sits among a strong group of gold-focused mining companies dedicated to being leaders, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ECR), Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA) and Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF). Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice. LaFleur’s near-term strategy is built around a simple but powerful concept: feeding its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material from its own Swanson Gold Project. The Swanson Gold Project represents LaFleur’s flagship exploration and development asset and forms the geological backbone of its vertically integrated production model. As LaFleur moves closer to production, the company is taking deliberate steps to de-risk its development pathway through bulk sampling and advanced economic analysis. The Beacon Gold Mill is central to LaFleur’s investment thesis and is arguably its most distinctive asset, sitting at a replacement valuation nearly twice the company’s current market cap. LaFleur’s restart plan for the Beacon Gold Mill is both defined and achievable, with trial runs of processing on-site stockpiled material targeted for Q12026. Funding the Leap to Production The past few months, gold prices have surged to record highs, with spot gold climbing above $4,600 per ounce and major financial institutions and analysts projecting further gains throughout this year. Analysts have forecast that gold could trade above $5,000 per ounce in 2026, driven by continued macroeconomic uncertainty, central bank buying and safe-haven demand, while 2025 saw one of the strongest gold rallies in years. As gold prices hit these historic levels and forward guidance remains bullish, producing gold-mining companies, particularly those nearing or in production such as LaFleur, stand to benefit from expanded margins and stronger cash flows. LaFleur’s near-term strategy is built around a simple but powerful concept: feeding its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material from its own Swanson Gold Project to create a vertically integrated, low-cost production model. This approach eliminates many of the uncertainties that plague junior miners, including reliance on third-party processing facilities and delays caused by permitting new infrastructure. By controlling both the source of ore and the processing facility, LaFleur is positioned to capture value across the production chain in one of the most established gold districts globally. The company recently completed a C$7.8 million financing that marks a strategic inflection point as it transitions from exploration toward near-term gold production and sustained value creation. This financing included the previously announced closing of an upsized LIFE offering with gross proceeds of approximately C$4.7 million, an oversubscribed flow-through offering generating about C$2.2 million and a final hard-dollar tranche of roughly C$900,000. Collectively, these transactions provide the financial momentum required to advance both mill restart activities and continued development of the Swanson Gold Project without immediate dilution pressure. This funding milestone arrives as LaFleur prepares to complete its Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”), which is intended to outline a comprehensive and economically grounded plan for sourcing mineralized material from Swanson and processing that material at the nearby Beacon Gold Mill. The PEA is expected to incorporate updated geological data, mining scenarios, metallurgical performance and cost assumptions, providing investors with a clearer picture of project economics, benefiting from current gold prices. Importantly, the PEA is not an abstract study but one anchored in existing, permitted infrastructure, significantly reducing execution risk compared with greenfield development models. LaFleur’s timing aligns with broader structural trends in Canadian gold mining. Canada maintained its position as a top global gold producer in 2024, posting a year-over-year increase in output, with Ontario and Québec remaining at the heart of production. The Abitibi Greenstone Belt, in particular, continues to attract capital, consolidation and major acquisitions. Recent regional transactions involving established producers underscore the strategic value of advanced projects with infrastructure, while rising gold prices add further leverage to near-term producers. Against this backdrop, research coverage has highlighted LaFleur as a potential beneficiary of a near-term re-rating as it moves decisively toward production.   For further information about LaFleur Minerals, please visit the LaFleur Profile.   About MiningNewsWire MiningNewsWire (“MNW”) is a specialized communications platform with a focus on developments and opportunities in the Global Mining and Resources sectors.

    Momentum Builds, Upside Appears as Mining Explorers Transition Toward Production, Unlock Major Hidden Value

    This article has been disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining Corp. and may include a paid advertisement. The most compelling moment for investors to engage with a mining company is often during its transition from explorer to producer, a period when value can inflect sharply as an organization shifts from discovery to cash flow. Explorers that successfully cross this development threshold tend to realize significant re-ratings because they de-risk their story, demonstrate reliable production capability and create a foundation for recurring revenues. For many interested in the mining space, entering at this stage allows participation before the substantial upside typically associated with the first years of production is fully priced in. This moment becomes particularly attractive when a company controls key infrastructure, is advancing toward production in a tier-one jurisdiction and trades at a valuation meaningfully below the replacement cost of its assets. That dynamic is now unfolding around LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (Profile), which owns a fully permitted and refurbished gold mill in Québec’s Abitibi region and is positioned well ahead of neighboring peers still working through early development stages. With a district-scale land position, an advancing flagship deposit and near-term production plans, LaFleur offers meaningful leverage to the explorer-to-producer inflection point, which historically delivers some of the best returns in the mining sector. LaFleur is among a strong group of companies working to become leaders in the mining space, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF), Pirate Gold Corp. (TSXV: YARR) (OTCQB: SICNF) and Abcourt Mines (TSX.V: ABI) (OTC: ABMBF). LaFleur’s core strategy is built around a vertically integrated development model anchored by its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill and its nearby Swanson Gold Project. To advance Swanson toward production and enhance geological confidence as primary source of mineralized material required for the mill restart, LaFleur initiated a 7,500-meter diamond drilling program this year, targeting more than 50 prospects, as well as a twin hole program for the purpose of its ongoing PEA. As part of its transition toward production, LaFleur has begun permitting for a bulk sample of approximately 100,000 tonnes from the Swanson deposit. One of LaFleur’s most significant competitive strengths is its ownership of the Beacon Gold Mill, a fully permitted and recently refurbished facility in Val-d’Or. LaFleur has finalized a comprehensive restart plan for the Beacon Mill, budgeting between C$5 and C$6 million to complete the six-to-eight-month recommissioning process.

    The MiningNewsWire Podcast featuring Nikolas Perrault, Executive Chairman of Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FAIR) (OTC: FCHDF)

    This news release has been disseminated on behalf of Fairchild Gold Corp. and may include paid advertising. AUSTIN, Texas, December 9, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Nikolas Perrault, CFA, Executive Chairman of Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FAIR) (OTC: FCHDF), a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing high-quality mineral properties in mining-friendly jurisdictions across North America. To begin the interview, Perrault provided a clear overview of Fairchild Gold’s mission and current focus. “Fairchild is a TSX Venture–listed company which started trading a few years ago on the exchange, but very rapidly it’s pivoted and has been focusing its efforts in Nevada,” he said. “Over the past less than 15 months, the company has made three acquisitions in Nevada, where it’s really building its home… We’ve been very busy the last 15 months building this portfolio in Nevada, which is probably one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world.” He then explained how the company allocates capital across its newly assembled Nevada portfolio. “Nevada Titan, which is the original anchor flagship project, is an exploration-stage project where we’re essentially rediscovering an old historic mining district. That’s where we’ve been concentrating most of our budget over the last 12 months… We just completed geophysics—round one, if you will—with a drone magnetic survey. We’re going to be following up with some additional geophysics to further refine the zones that we’ve identified as priority. Then, we will begin to prepare for drill permitting targeting the second quarter.” Building on that, Perrault discussed the company’s development-stage assets and why they represent near-term catalysts. “The Golden Arrow project is very different. It’s really an advanced stage project. There’s already a historic measured and indicated resource which was really not relevant or economic, we believe, at $2,000 gold—but at $4,000 gold, I think the game is completely changed and this asset could be very, very profitable… We’re basically looking at this as a development-stage project where the first phase for us will be to conduct a preliminary economic assessment of the project… There’s a lot of exploration upside with the multiple targets already identified at Golden Arrow, but it isn’t going to be our immediate priority. We’ll wait on the results of the PEA to guide our next steps on that one.” Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and Nikolas Perrault, CFA, Executive Chairman of Fairchild Gold, for a conversation on the company’s Nevada-focused strategy, its staged exploration and development plans, and the catalysts that may shape the road ahead.

    The Energy Breakthrough That Could Power the AI Era

    This article has been disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining Corp. and may include a paid advertisement. MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Global electricity demand is entering a historic inflection point. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) now forecasts that worldwide data center electricity consumption will nearly double by 2030, with AI-driven centers multiplying their energy use more than four-fold over the same period, a pace that strains already overloaded grids across the United States, China, Europe, Southeast Asia and elsewhere. The constraint is no longer bandwidth or chip capability — it is electricity itself. Amid this tightening energy landscape, a compelling new frontier is emerging: natural hydrogen, a geologic form of hydrogen being generated continuously within the Earth’s subsurface. Unlike manufactured hydrogen, geologic hydrogen can be produced without electrolysis and emits only water when used for energy production. It may represent the first scalable, low-carbon baseload power source for AI-era demand. That is why MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) (profile) has become the first publicly traded company in North America to advance a massive land package (1.3 million acres) permitted specifically for natural hydrogen exploration and development, including a commercial-scale natural hydrogen well, positioning itself at the forefront of a new energy class. MAX Power is working to establish itself as a leader among well-known companies that are innovating and leading in the AI space, including Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG). Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice. MAX Power has made a landmark contribution by drilling into natural hydrogen in Canada’s first-ever well dedicated to this potential new primary energy source. The company reported natural hydrogen across multiple horizons at its Lawson location, supported by gas sampling, chemical analysis and downhole logging tools capable of identifying trace hydrogen concentrations. MAX Power’s permitted acreage across the province spans 1.3 million acres, with an additional 5.7 million acres under review, creating the opportunity to evaluate whether the region hosts a large-scale hydrogen system. The company has attracted collaboration from respected scientific institutions, including the Colorado School of Mines, as interest in natural hydrogen grows. MAX Power CEO Ran Narayanasamy is highly regarded and well connected in the global energy sector. The Global Energy Crunch Meets a New Resource Artificial intelligence is expanding at a pace that far exceeds the design capacity of existing electricity systems. In addition to IEA’s forecast, Bloomberg projections suggest that U.S. data centers alone could consume as much as 9% of all American electricity by 2035, a dramatic increase that underscores the shifting energy footprint of digital infrastructure. The IEA also reports that per-capita U.S. data-center usage could reach 1,200 kilowatt-hours per year, greatly surpassing consumption levels in most other countries and highlighting the intense energy requirements of emerging technologies. Hydrogen is often highlighted as a key decarbonization tool, yet nearly 99% of global hydrogen production comes from fossil fuels, resulting in significant emissions and high costs. Green hydrogen, while cleaner, requires large amounts of renewable electricity and is expensive to scale. This widening mismatch between electricity supply and clean-energy demand is prompting rapid scientific and commercial interest in geologic hydrogen.   For further information about MAX Power Mining Corp., visit the MAX Power Mining profile.   For more information, please visit https://www.MiningNewsWire.com Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the MiningNewsWire website applicable to all content provided by MNW, wherever published or republished: https://www.MiningNewsWire.com/Disclaimer
