[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR, OTCQB: LFLRF, FSE: 3WK0) (“LaFleur Minerals” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the results from its drilling to date at the Swanson Gold Project, highlighting new gold discovery zones with the presence of broad, continuous zones of gold mineralization that extend well below the limits of the current resource model, expanding and confirming the potential for a large-scale gold system. Four (4) diamond drill holes, completed between vertical depths of approximately 300 and 450 metres and spaced over a 120-metre strike length, were specifically designed to test the down-dip continuity of the Swanson Gold Deposit. These results confirm that the new gold discovery mineralized system remains robust at depth and continues to expand beyond the existing 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate envelope (refer to press release dated March 3, 2026). DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS 2.29 g/t Au over 68.30 metres (SW-25-079) 1.18 g/t Au over 255.04 metres (SW-25-080) 1.65 g/t Au over 136.1 metres (SW-25-081) The drilling has successfully intersected significant widths of gold mineralization, including 1.18 g/t Au over 255.04 metres (SW-25-080) and 1.65 g/t Au over 136.01 metres (SW-25-081), demonstrating the presence of broad mineralized halos at depth. Notably with a higher grade, drill hole SW-25-079 returned 2.29 g/t Au over 68.30 metres, further supporting the continuity and strength of the system. In addition to these wide intervals, isolated high-grade zones were encountered, including assays of up to 86.8 g/t Au over 1.0 metre, occurring outside of the currently defined mineralized envelopes and suggesting potential for additional high-grade shoots. These drill holes follow on LaFleur’s most recent assays results (refer to press release dated February 4, 2026), which included: 2.05 g/t Au over 158.25 metres (SW-25-066) 1.15 g/t Au over 80.3 metres (SW-25-073) 1.37 g/t Au over 80.8 metres (SW-25-074) 2.97 g/t Au over 66.0 metres, including 91.1 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (SW-25-075) 3.15 g/t Au over 51.4 metres, including 92.9 g/t Au over 0.75 metres (SW-25-077) The current drill holes provide critical insight into the geometry and plunge of the mineralized zones, significantly enhancing the Company’s geological understanding of the deposit.
