LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (‘LaFleur Minerals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (‘MOU’) with Granada Gold Mine Inc. (‘Granada’) (collectively, the ‘Parties’) dated March 25, 2025 to assess the design criteria for processing mineralized material from the Granada Gold Project (‘Granada Gold’ or the ‘Project’) at the Company’s 100%-owned and fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill, located in Val-d’Or, Québec, Canada.

If off-site processing of Granada Gold mineralized material at the Beacon Gold Mill is deemed viable by both parties as part of the MOU, the Parties have the option to enter into a commercial agreement and may undertake a mining and economic study to further evaluate the processing of Granada Gold mineralized material at the Beacon Gold Mill. This study would consider mine design, mining methodology, mining and processing rates, gold production profile, facilities requirements, development schedules, and determine the overall project economics.

Paul Teniere, CEO of LaFleur Minerals commented, ‘Hub-and-spoke mining and milling arrangements have long been a feature of mining in the Abitibi Gold Belt in Québec. With the price of gold having risen from USD$2,000 per ounce to a current price approaching USD$3,000 per ounce over the past 12 months, we are excited to look at potentially custom milling mineralized material from the Granada Gold deposit. Today, we are announcing the first step in assessing the viability of such an arrangement for the Granada Gold deposit as part of the Beacon Gold Mill restart project. The MOU with Granada will facilitate the preliminary technical work required to assess the compatibility of the Granada Gold deposit with the Beacon Gold Mill. The Beacon Gold Mill is directly accessible to the Granada Gold deposit via truck hauling on paved highway, and possibly rail shipping. With offsite processing and tailings disposal, the Granada Gold deposit could potentially be a low-cost, low-impact, and highly profitable mining operation. The MOU with Granada Gold contains no commercial terms regarding how mineralized material from the Granada Gold deposit to Beacon Gold Mill would be arranged. However, further discussions between the two parties are contemplated upon the successful completion of this preliminary technical work.‘

TERMS OF THE MOU

The MOU facilitates the exchange of technical data between LaFleur Minerals and Granada Gold regarding metallurgy, flow-sheet configuration, potential mill modifications, and future processing and tailings disposal capacity. Each Party will be responsible for its own costs associated with this work. To conduct the assessment, LaFleur Minerals has retained ABF Mines Inc., and a program of metallurgical work has already commenced at the Granada Gold deposit. The MOU is non-binding and non-exclusive and contains no specific terms around potential commercial arrangements between the Parties. There is no certainty that any arrangement between the Parties will result from their dealings pursuant to the MOU.

LaFleur Minerals CORE ASSETS:

BEACON GOLD MILL

Fully-refurbished, permitted Beacon Gold Mill, capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day (Figure 1 and 2).

The entirely refurbished Beacon Gold Mill was last fully operational in early 2023 when the price of gold was USD$1,800 per ounce and has been under care and maintenance since that time. As gold approaches a record price of USD$3,000 per ounce, the goal of restarting the Beacon Gold Mill in the coming months is an exceptional opportunity for LaFleur Minerals to also target the custom milling of mineralized material from nearby gold deposits that surround the Beacon Mill. LaFleur Minerals demonstrates significant upside potential by ultimately generating revenue at the current elevated gold prices, with the restart of the Beacon Mill targeting a potential annual production scenario of approximately 30,000 to 40,000 ounces of gold based on the current mill capacity. The Company is currently finalizing the restart costs for the Beacon Mill and expects to have all permits and updates completed by the end of 2025.

Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) (‘Anteros’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the completion of 3D geological modelling of its 100% owned, road-accessible Havens Steady VMS Property (the ‘Property’) in central Newfoundland. The Property is located approximately 40 kilometres southeast of Buchans and 17 kilometres from the past-producing Duck Pond Mine. The inaugural 3D model integrates over 8,000 metres of historical drilling, surface geochemistry, and geophysical data into a unified geological framework. Interpretation was supported by AI-assisted workflows to enhance target confidence and reduce interpretive bias. The model defines a laterally extensive polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (‘VMS’) system characterized by zinc-lead-silver ± copper-gold mineralization. It confirms a steeply southeast-dipping mineralized zone trending 057°, with over 700 metres of drilled strike length along the main mineralized zone (‘MMZ’), as depicted in Figure 1, and identifies multiple untested vectors remaining open along strike and at depth.

KEY TARGETING HIGHLIGHTS:

• Copper-Rich Southwestern Feeder Zone – A newly delineated zone of copper-enrichment supported by elevated Cu:Pb+Zn ratios, silica-chlorite alteration, and historic drill intercepts may represent a vent-proximal feeder and remains underexplored.
• Northeast Extension of the MMZ – Geophysical trends, soil geochemistry, and alteration vectors indicate strong potential for mineralization northeast of the current drill coverage.
• Untested Pyritic Footwall Target – Pyrite-rich lithologies east of the MMZ, associated with structural and geochemical indicators, may reflect another feeder or deeper mineralization.
• Shallow Infill Drilling Opportunities – Gaps in data within the main mineralized horizon, particularly in areas with shallow overburden, provide cost effective targets for near-surface resource definition.
• New Surface Access – Recent timber harvesting has improved access to multiple target areas, enabling inaugural trenching and low-cost grade verification.
• Overlapping Anomalies – Coincident VLF conductors, magnetic highs, and geochemical soil anomalies that correlate with known mineralization also support extensions along strike.
• Scalable System in a Proven Critical Mineral District – The system remains open along strike and at depth, and is situated with polymetallic (Zn-Pb-Ag ± Cu-Au) mineralization consistent with critical mineral designation and regional VMS analogues.

‘Completion of this model is a significant milestone for Anteros and provides a modern platform for exploration decision-making,’ said Trumbull Fisher, CEO. ‘Our team now has the tools to efficiently target high-priority zones including the copper-rich southwestern extension and newly identified anomalies to the northeast.’

NEXT STEPS

Anteros plans to complete field validation in Q2 2025, followed by a focused diamond drilling campaign expected to commence in Q3 2025, with initial targets focused on copper-rich vectors including northeast extensions. The property is fully permitted for diamond drilling and the Company plans to capitalize on government critical metal exploration grants to bolster its funded 2025 exploration program.

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

The Havens Steady VMS property lies within the Storm Brook Formation of the Red Cross Group in the Exploits Subzone of the Dunnage Zone – a prolific metallogenic belt in central Newfoundland. The Property benefits from existing road infrastructure and proximity to hydroelectric power. The region hosts world class VMS deposits such as the past-producing Duck Pond Mine. The Company cautions that mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Property.

Since acquiring the Property in January 2024, Anteros has performed comprehensive digital compilation and modelling of historical exploration data. Compilation confirmed that previous geophysical work, including airborne electromagnetics, identified multiple conductive anomalies consistent with the presence of sulfide mineralization. Additionally, historic drill programs have outlined multiple zones of high-grade zinc, lead, silver, and copper mineralization demonstrated by the presence of sphalerite and galena with bornite and chalcopyrite in copper-rich zones. The known deposit area has a strike length of at least 1,000 metres and historic drilling shows mineralization extending to over 800 metres below surface.
