LaFleur Minerals Signs Definitive Gold and Silver Purchase Agreement with Ocean Partners

(CSE:LFLR) (OTCQB:LFLRF) (FSE:3WK0) LaFleur Minerals Inc. has entered into an arm's length definitive gold and silver purchase agreement effective October 1, 2026, with Ocean Partners UK Limited. The agreement establishes a commercial framework for Ocean Partners to purchase gold and silver doré produced from LaFleur Minerals' planned bulk sample at the Swanson Gold Project, to be processed at the Beacon Gold Mill in Val-d'Or, Québec. Under the agreement, LaFleur Minerals may request a working capital advance of up to US$5 million to support mining and processing of the bulk sample. The advance bears interest at three-month CME SOFR plus 7.50% and is repayable through deductions against payments for gold and silver deliveries. The advance is not secured by any of the company's assets, and the Beacon Gold Mill remains 100% owned by LaFleur Minerals, free of royalties or other encumbrances. No arrangement fees, equity, or warrants are payable in connection with the advance, which is repayable from gold and silver deliveries from the bulk sample. LaFleur Minerals will sell to Ocean Partners 100% of the gold and silver produced from the Swanson bulk sample, delivered as doré or, where required, as refined gold and silver, subject to a minimum delivery commitment. Pricing is based on prevailing LBMA gold and silver prices, less customary refining charges. The working capital advance of up to US$5 million may be drawn in full, at the company's option and subject to customary conditions, from January 1, 2027, and may be repaid early without penalty. The company continues to advance maintenance and repairs of the tailings storage facility at the Beacon Gold Mill as part of recommissioning and restart efforts. Geotechnical, surface water, and hydrogeological baseline studies are ongoing at the Swanson mining lease to support the closure and remediation plan and other permits required to complete the bulk sample. With the execution of the agreement, LaFleur Minerals will not proceed with the non-binding term sheet with Trafigura Canada Limited previously announced on April 15, 2026. The company will provide further updates as it progresses toward implementation of the agreement and advances its planned bulk sample. Andrew Elinesky is Chief Executive Officer of LaFleur Minerals. Brent Omland is CEO of Ocean Partners UK Limited. Marc Ducharme, P.Geo. (OGQ), is Vice President of Exploration of LaFleur Minerals and reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in the release.
