LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (‘LaFleur Minerals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an update on the twinned-hole drilling program launched at its Swanson Gold Deposit (‘Swanson’). The Company announced, in its October 6, 2025 news release, that it had engaged Environmental Resources Management (‘ERM’),1 a globally renowned sustainability and environmental consultant firm, to complete 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 Swanson Gold Deposit.

The twinned-hole drilling program at Swanson will consist of 10 holes intended to collect data for:

1. Validating historical drilling completed at Swanson to augment confidence in the geological model and increase confidence in the mineral resource categories;

2. Validating the continuity and scale of the mineralized system and the potential for further expansion at Swanson (refer to press release dated September 24, 2025, for recently announced drill results);

3. Collecting drill core material for ongoing ore-sorting and metallurgical test work, and;

4. Providing necessary information to advance deposit interpretation and to enhance the current Mineral Resource Estimate for the purpose of delivering a technically robust PEA, as the Company works to expand its land package and known resources.

The twinned-hole program has been structured to target sectors as close as possible to historical drill hole locations, which have been chosen based on a preliminary review of the parameters that would likely determine the economic viability of a potential open-pit operation (Figure 1), with the intentions to transport mineralized material from the Swanson site for processing at the Company’s Beacon Gold Mill. With the extensive historical data at the Swanson deposit (in excess of 36,000 metres of historical drilling in 242 drill holes), the Company benefits from a wealth of information to base the study upon as well as high-grade, significant intervals such as historical holes SW-03-07** defining 69.3 metres at 3.03 g/t Au and BAR31-84* defining 51.0 metres at 3.46 g/t Au.

The majority of historical drill data within the pit limits originate from work conducted by Lac Minerals between 1982 and 1987, Phoenix Matachewan Mines in 2003, and from Agnico-Eagle Mines between 2006 and 2011. The twinned-hole drilling intends to confirm the continuity of the high-grade shear zones identified in the current Mineral Resource Estimate as part of the data verification process for the PEA. In addition, the twinned-hole program will infill gaps in the existing resource model that connects previously disconnected zones of mineralization, where historical sampling may have been poor or non-existent, potentially improving the estimate of total gold ounces and a lower strip ratio.

The Swanson Gold Deposit and Beacon Gold Mill benefit greatly from close proximity, and both are geographically positioned in one of the world’s largest and most established gold-producing regions, the Abitibi Greenstone Belt (Figure 2 and Figure 3). Substantiating the high-grade potential and scalability at Swanson, combined with the Company’s own processing infrastructure at Beacon, presents a rare, vertically integrated gold production scenario.

Paul Teniere, CEO of LaFleur Minerals comments, ‘Advancing the Beacon Gold Mill to restart gold production with gold prices at record levels above $4,000 per ounce offers amazing economic potential. We are well underway to completing a comprehensive PEA for the restart of the Beacon Gold Mill and at the suggestion of ERM, we are nearing completion of twinning historical holes that form the basis of the mineral resource at our Swanson Gold Deposit, with the intention to supply mineralized material from Swanson to the Beacon Gold Mill. We aim to have the PEA completed as soon as assay results on the twinned holes are received in the coming weeks.’

Preliminary Economic Assessment Study: Confirmation Drilling

The purpose of the confirmation drilling is to verify historical drill hole data that forms the basis of the current Mineral Resource Estimate, supporting the PEA by confirming the location, grade, and continuity of the gold mineralization at Swanson. This process involves drilling new holes near historical drill holes and analyzing core samples to ensure the historical data is reliable and can be incorporated into the current resource model. Historical data, particularly from old underground drilling, often needs independent confirmation to ensure the data meets the grade, resource size, and metallurgical assumptions.

Historical near surface drill holes, within the pit shell, include SW-03-07** with 69.3 metres at 3.03 g/t Au and BAR31-84* with 51.0 metres at 3.46 g/t Au. Other significant historical near-surface intersections include:

Beacon Gold Mill Restart Update

LaFleur is advancing the restart of its fully-permitted Beacon Gold Mill, a recently modernized and upgraded 750-tonne-per-day facility equipped with crushing, grinding, flotation, regrind, leaching, and Merrill-Crowe circuits. The mill, currently under care and maintenance since March 2023, is undergoing a comprehensive mechanical, operational and electrical review ahead of recommissioning using existing mineralized stockpiles.

Recommissioning activities are well underway, focusing on upgrades and repairs to the filter presses, tailings pump box, leach tanks, pumps, motors, air systems, monitoring instruments, along with the installation of a gravity concentrator circuit. Recruitment for key operational roles-including a Mill Manager, Maintenance Superintendent, Electricians, Millwrights, and Plant Operators (mill clerk, procurement and warehousing personnel)-is in progress to support an efficient restart.

LaFleur has also estimated approximately 10,000-20,000 tonnes of mineralized stockpiles remaining on site; however, the exact number will be confirmed as the mill restart program advances (Figure 4). These stockpiles will serve as feed for initial trial runs, enabling the Company to fine-tune operations ahead of launching its full production. While the quantity and grade remain conceptual (there has been insufficient work to define a mineral resource), these efforts mark a significant milestone toward near-term gold production and cash flow generation from a strategic, wholly-owned asset in Val-d’Or, Québec, one of the best and most established mining camps in the world. Recently announced regional M&A and consolidation signals that major global producers are aggressively entering the Val-d’Or camp to secure long-life, low-risk gold assets, validating the view that Val-d’Or is one of the most strategic and investable gold regions globally. With LaFleur’s Beacon Gold Mill and Swanson Gold Project located in the same Val-d’Or-Abitibi mining camp and belt as many of these M&A targets, this increases the strategic importance of Beacon Gold Mill as regional infrastructure in a growing production corridor. Valuations set through regional M&A also establishes a district pricing precedent that may re-rate the entire Val-d’Or peer group upward, suggesting that LaFleur’s Beacon-Swanson combination could be substantially undervalued by comparison. In addition, the current gold price environment, hovering near historic highs around US$4,000/oz, significantly enhances the economic appeal of LaFleur’s Beacon Gold Mill restart, offering strong margins, accelerated payback potential, and exceptional leverage to gold in a fully permitted, near-term production setting.

Cartier Resources Inc. (″ Cartier ″ or the ″ Company ″) (TSXV: ECR,OTC:ECRFF; FSE: 6CA) is pleased to announce the fourth batch of results from the fully funded 100,000-m drilling program (2 drill rigs) for the Contact Sector and more precisely, the North Contact Zone (NCZ), on its 100%-owned Cadillac Project, located in Val-d’Or (Abitibi, Quebec). The NCZ consists of three parallel high-grade gold zones: NCZ1, NCZ2 and NCZ3, spaced approximately 50 m apart.

Strategic Highlights from Contact Sector

Drill Hole Results of NCZ (Figures 1 & 2)

• CA25-536 intersected 339.6 g/t Au over 0.5 m included in 111.5 g/t Au over 2.0 m (NCZ1).
• CA25-532 graded 22.0 g/t Au over 1.0 m included in 11.4 g/t Au over 2.0 m (NCZ1).
• CA25-535 reported 17.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m included in 9.6 g/t Au over 2.0 m (NCZ1).
• CA25-531 intersected 7.0 g/t Au over 3.0 m included in 3.2 g/t Au over 12.5 m (NCZ3).
• CA25-533 graded 11.0 g/t Au over 0.7 m included in 3.9 g/t Au over 4.7 m (NCZ3).

Significance for Investors

• Recent drilling results continue to clearly demonstrate the presence of a shallow and extensive mineralized system (400 m in strike length by 300 m in depth), hosting multiple stacked high-grade gold zones with significant grades , widths and continuity .
• Holes CA25-531 and CA25-536 represent the deepest holes completed by Cartier and confirm the gold system remains robust and open in all directions , suggesting significant expansion potential .
• All the drilling objectives were successfully achieved, namely, enhance understanding of the mineralization style associated with the newly identified Héva Fault Zone and define a gold enrichment vector to guide future drilling campaigns.
• The combination of exposed bedrock , minimal overburden (5 m) and proximity to year-round road access (250 m) positions NCZ as a highly strategic asset for potential shallow operation scenarios .

Next Steps

• Upcoming drilling is required on NCZ to extend gold mineralization closer to surface (0-150 m) to support a future gold inventory for this new highly strategic sector.
• Further exploration drilling is already planned to test several new high-priority regional targets at Contact Sector, backed by detailed structural and geological modelling and VRIFY’s artificial intelligence (AI) driven targeting , reinforcing the potential for additional gold discoveries .

‘ Encouraged by these results, Cartier is now evaluating an expansion of its drilling program toward the eastern extensions of NCZ, where multiple geophysical anomalies identified, outlining a highly prospective 5 km-long target zone with strong potential for new gold discoveries. ‘ – Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier.

‘ Cartier has now released its third round of results from NCZ, each time delivering outcomes that have exceeded the company’s expectations. These consistent successes highlight the robustness and continuity of this high-grade gold system, reinforcing the strategic importance of focusing exploration efforts in this sector . ‘ – Ronan Deroff, Vice President Exploration of Cartier.

* Occurrences of visible gold (VG) have been noted in the drill core at various intervals. ** Based on the observed intercept angles within the drill core, true thicknesses are estimated to represent approximately 55-70 % of the reported core length intervals.

Contact Sector

The Contact Sector is a highly prospective area featuring the North Contact Zone (‘ NCZ ‘) and several newly defined high-priority drill targets.

The NCZ lies along an east-west trending, strongly sheared corridor (Héva Fault Zone), situated approximately 900 m north of the Cadillac Fault Zone, and occurs at the contact between the hanging wall mafic to intermediate volcanics (basalt to andesite) of Louvicourt Group and the footwall turbiditic sedimentary rocks (wacke-mudrock) of Cadillac Group. This lithological contact is a favorable horizon for hydrothermal fluid flow, likely related to synvolcanic gold deposition.

The NCZ, defined by at least three parallel gold-rich zones, are typically and primarily associated with a fine-grained and disseminated arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization, with a pervasive biotite-chlorite-carbonate alteration, all crosscut by late-stage smoky quartz vein and veinlet stockworks containing visible gold. Locally, accessory minerals such as sphalerite, galena and tourmaline are observed.

Milestones of 2025-2027 Exploration Program

100,000 m Drilling Program (Q3 2025 to Q2 2027)

The ambitious 600-hole drilling program will both expand known gold zones and test new shallow surface high-potential targets. The objective is to unlock the camp-scale, high-grade gold potential along the 15 km Cadillac Fault Zone. It is important to note that Cartier’s recent consolidation of this large land holding offers the unique opportunity in over 90 years for unrestricted exploration.

Environmental Baseline Studies & Economic Evaluation of Chimo mine tailings (Q3 2025 to Q3 2026)

The baseline studies will be divided into two distinct parts which include 1) environmental baseline desktop study and 2) preliminary environmental geochemical characterization. The initial baseline studies will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current environmental conditions and implement operations that minimize environmental impact while optimizing the economic potential of the project. These studies will be supplemented by an initial assessment of the economic potential of the past-producing Chimo mine tailings to determine whether a quantity of gold can be extracted economically.

Metallurgical Sampling and Testwork Program (Q4 2025 to Q1 2026)

The metallurgical testwork program includes defining of expected gold recovery rates and improving historical results from the Chimo deposit, as well as establishing metallurgical recovery data for the first-time for the East Chimo and West Nordeau satellite deposits, where no previous data exists. This comprehensive program will characterize the mineralized material, gold recovery potential and validate optimal grind size defining the most efficient and cost-effective flowsheet. The data generated will directly support optimized project development and have the potential to significantly reduce both capital and operating costs, while also improving the environmental footprint.

* Occurrences of visible gold (VG) have been noted in the drill core at various intervals. ** Based on the observed intercept angles within the drill core, true thicknesses are estimated to represent approximately 55-70 % of the reported core length intervals.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Program

The drill core from the Cadillac Project is NQ-size and, upon receipt from the drill rig, is described and sampled by Cartier geologists. Core is sawn in half, with one half labelled, bagged and submitted for analysis and the other half retained and stored at Cartier’s coreshack facilities located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, for future reference and verification. As part of Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program, Cartier inserts blank samples and certified reference materials (standards) at regular intervals into the sample stream prior to shipment to monitor laboratory performance and analytical accuracy.

Drill core samples are sent to MSALABS’s analytical laboratory located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried and crushed (70% passing a 2-millimeter sieve). The analysis for gold is performed on an approximately 500 g aliquot using Chrysos Photon Assay technology, which uses high-energy X-ray excitation with gamma detection to quickly and non-destructively measure gold content.

Alternatively, samples are submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (‘Actlabs’), located in either Val-d’Or or Ste-Germaine-Boulé, both in Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried, crushed (90% passing a 2-millimetre sieve) and 250 g is pulverized (90% passing a 0.07-millimetre sieve). The analysis for gold is conducted using a 50 g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish, with a detection limit up to 10,000 ppb.

Toronto, Ontario November 4, 2025 TheNewswire – Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME | OTC: LMEFF) (‘LAURION’ or the ‘Corporation’) is pleased to announce encouraging results from its 7,700-metre Summer 2025 drill exploration program at the 100%-owned Ishkõday Project, located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay in Greenstone, Ontario. The first five drill results were announced in the Corporation’s press releases dated August 19, 2025 and September 23, 2025, respectively, which targeted the high-grade gold-bearing vein systems of the Sturgeon River Mine area. Reference is also made to the Corporation’s press releases dated September 5, 2025, May 27, 2025 and May 8, 2025.

The reported drill holes below, LME25-061 and LME25-062, totalling 954 m were designed to evaluate the mineralized system at the historic Brenbar Mine area, stepping out to the north and northeast of the of the historic mine shaft.

Highlights of Drill Holes LME25-061 and LME25-062

LME25-061

• 2.70 m @ 0.22 g/t Au from 152.6 m to 155.3 m

• 2.50 m @ 0.20 g/t Au from 167.5 m to 170 m

• 2.25 m @ 0.88 g/t Au from 213.85 m to 216.10 m, including 1.70 m @ 1.10 g/t Au from 214.4 m

LME25-062

• 3.00 m @ 0.49 g/t Au from 304.0 m to 307 m, including 1.0 m @ 1.34 g/t Au from 304.0 m

• 2.00 m @ 0.50 g/t Au from 111.0 m to 113.0 m, including 0.5 m @ 1.45 g/t Au from 111.80 m

• 1.20 m @ 0.76 g/t Au from 105.7 m to 106.9 m, including 0.7 m @ 1.07 g/t Au from 105.7 m

• 1.05 m @ 2.68 g/t Au from 117.6 m to 118.65 m, including 0.5 m @ 5.18 g/t Au from 118.15 m

• 1.15 m @ 0.39 g/t Au from 310.7 m to 311.85 m

• 1.10 m @ 1.63 g/t Au from 454.4 m to 455.5 m

These new intercepts not only confirm the continuity of gold-bearing structures near the Brenbar Shaft, but also demonstrate how far our understanding of Ishk õ day has advanced since the early 2010 drilling campaigns,’ said Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO of Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. ‘Our 2025 drill core is fully oriented, allowing precise structural interpretation and integration into our evolving 3D geological model — a critical step toward defining the geometry and scale of the mineralized system.’

The 2025 drill program targeted a cluster of complex folded gold-bearing vein structures in the Brenbar Shaft namely No 1, 2, 2A and No. 7 vein sets confirmed in historic drilling by Prodigy Gold Inc. ( Jamie Solomon & Jerry Light, June 13, 2011 ). That work returned multiple higher-grade intercepts, including 3.77 g/t Au over 1.30 m and 1.33 g/t Au over 1.0 m in BB09-03 , 5.50 g/t over 2.5 m, 1.39 g/t Au over 1.0 m and 1.47 g/t Au over 1.0 min BB09-04 , 2.29 g/t Au over 1.10 m and 0.39 g/t Au over 15.90 m in BB09-09 , 0.549 g/t Au over 12.50 m in BB09-10 , and 1.56 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 0.51 g/t Au over 6.30 m, 3.26 g/t Au over 0.80 m and 0.66 g/t Au over 8.20 min BB10-27 which tested No. 15 Vein, #25 trench vein . The results confirm high-grade quartz-vein hosted gold within sheared volcanic rocks. They provide the basis for LAURION’s 2025 program to test continuity and strike length at Brenbar, and to collect oriented core for detailed structural analysis and 3D modeling.

Sampling and QA/QC Protocols

All drill core is transported and stored inside the core facility located at the Ishkõday Project in Greenstone, Ontario. LAURION employs an industry standard system of external standards, blanks and duplicates for all of its sampling, in addition to the QA/QC protocol employed by the laboratory. After logging, core samples were identified and then cut in half along core axis in the same building and then zip tied individually in plastic sample bags with a bar code. Approximately five or six of these individual bags were then stacked into a ‘rice’ white material bag and stored on a skid for final shipment to the laboratory.

All core samples were shipped to the ALS facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which were then prepared by ALS Global Geochemistry in Thunder Bay and analyzed by ALS Global Analytical Lab in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples are processed by 4-acid digestion and analyzed by fire assay on 50 g pulps and ICP-AES (InductivelyCoupledPlasma – AtomicElement-Spectroscopy). Over limit analyses are reprocessed with gravimetric finish.

A total of 5% blanks and 5% standard are inserted randomly within all samples. 5% of the best assay result pulps were sent for re-assays. All QAQC were verified, and no contamination or bias have been observed. The remaining half of the core, as well as the unsampled core, is stored in temporary core racks at the core logging facility in Beardmore and moved to the core storage facility at the Ishkõday Project.
