LaFleur Minerals to Restart Gold Milling at Beacon Gold Mill in Val-d’Or, Quebec ACN Newswire

LaFleur Minerals to Restart Gold Milling at Beacon Gold Mill in Val-d’Or, Quebec

Acquires Mineral Claims Contiguous to the Swanson Gold Project, QuébecVancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 28, 2025) - LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) ("LaFleur Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its plans to restart production activities at its 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill in Val-d'Or, Québec, Canada (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The Beacon Gold Mill is located in a highly prospective mining region for gold exploration on the mineral-rich greenstone Abitibi Belt, an area with over 100 historical and currently operating mines.BEACON GOLD MILL IS FULLY PERMITTEDThe 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 Q2 2025.The entire LaFleur Minerals team has been collectively working toward a successful restart of the Beacon Mill. With the current increase in the price of gold and the fully-permitted Beacon Mill that lies within the prolific Abitibi Gold Belt in the Tier 1 mining district of Val-d'Or, Québec, LaFleur Minerals has a great opportunity to eventually produce gold at Beacon with gold prices at record levels. LaFleur Minerals is now approaching the finish line on many of the fundamental pieces that support this goal including assessing nearby advanced gold deposits and initiating discussions with neighbouring mining companies that could utilize the Beacon Mill to process their bulk samples and future mineralized material through a custom milling agreement for numerous gold deposits in the Val-d'Or region surrounding the Beacon Mill (Figure 3).Paul Ténière, CEO of LaFleur Minerals, stated, "We continue to make great progress in achieving key operational readiness milestones at the Beacon Mill, including ongoing inspections of all equipment and systems and ensuring an adequate supply of spare parts. The highly experienced team at ABF Mines has been diligently working to finalize a detailed plan and the cost to restart the mill with results expected within the next few weeks. We also continue to meet our environmental monitoring and sampling requirements under our permit to operate, which includes completion of fish and wildlife studies within the tailings storage facility (TSF) as required under both provincial and federal environmental regulations. Our consultants are also working with us to evaluate required upgrades to the TSF as we move towards restarting production at the Beacon Mill."SWANSON GOLD PROJECT UPDATEThe Swanson gold project is over 15,000 hectares in size and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines and Globex Mining. The consolidated Swanson Gold Project covers a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold targets and numerous other showings which make up the Swanson gold project. The Swanson gold project is easily accessible by road with a rail line running through the property, allowing direct access to several nearby gold mills and further enhancing its development potential. The Swanson gold project has had in excess of 36,000m of drilling.The Swanson Gold Deposit hosts:Indicated Mineral Resource:2,113,000 t with an average grade of 1.8 g/t gold, containing 123,400 oz of gold.Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate:872,000 t with an average grade of 2.3 g/t gold, containing 64,500 oz of gold. (MRE source: NI 43-101 technical report, effective September 17, 2024, filed on the Company's SEDAR+ profile).The Swanson Gold Project is located within 50 km of the Company's fully-permitted Beacon Gold Mill, and includes:A mining lease which can be permitted for bulk sampling and future mining scenario.Jolin target (Au): Historical Mineral Resource Estimate(source: GESTIM -1996, GM62629 - historical estimate not compliant with NI 43-101)Bartec target (Au): Historical Mineral Resource Estimate.(source: GESTIM - DV 87-01 - historical estimate not compliant NI 43-101)Recent Exploration Activities:High-resolution airborne magnetics and VLF-EM geophysics program:Completed over the entire Swanson Gold Deposit.Oriented soil geochemistry and prospecting program:Conducted by IOS Géosciences (IOS), with final assay results pending.Induced Polarization (IP) - Resistivity Ground Geophysics Survey:A total of 166 line-km will be surveyed in February 2025 at 200 m line spacings.This will cover the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin deposits, all of which are advanced gold targets with current and historical mineral resources.LaFleur Minerals is currently working with its consultants to expedite permitting of the Swanson Gold Project with a focus on evaluating its potential to supply mineralized material to the Beacon Gold Mill.LaFleur Minerals is also completing an IP ground geophysics survey on its Swanson Gold Project and is planning an aggressive drilling program for this spring and summer to increase the existing mineral resource for the project including incorporating the Bartec, Jolin, and other gold targets. Other ongoing work includes evaluating the open-pit mining potential of the mining lease at the Swanson gold deposit and planning to advance to a Pre-Feasibility Study and mine permitting.ACQUIRES ADDITIONAL CLAIMS ADJOINING THE SWANSON GOLD PROJECTThe Company is also pleased to announce that it has entered into a Property Purchase Agreement with third-party arm's length vendors (the "Vendors") dated February 28, 2025 (the "Agreement"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is entitled to acquire 100% interest to 17 mining claims covering approximately 699 hectares (the "Claims") contiguous with the Company's Swanson Gold Project ("Swanson") in the Barraute region, north of Val-d'Or, Québec.

Josip Heit,GSB德國創辦人談金融科技產業的未來

匈牙利布達佩斯, 2025年3月1日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - INDEX HUNGARIAIndexHU(匈牙利):Heit先生,非常感謝您撥冗接受本次採訪。全球範圍內對金融科技的投資似乎再次回升。您如何看待這一現象?Josip Heit:非常感謝您的邀請。金融科技行業在經歷了一段投資放緩期後,再次確認了其作為一個充滿前景的增長領域的地位。我們正在看到風險投資融資的上升趨勢,尤其是在亞洲和美國。CB Insights和彭博社的最新數據顯示,這一增長勢頭明顯。IndexHU(匈牙利):地緣政治因素和經濟環境在多大程度上影響金融科技市場?Josip Heit:地緣政治緊張局勢確實可能對投資決策和監管框架產生影響。然而,近期某些地區的局勢緩和以及持續的數位化進程整體上推動了金融科技行業的發展。此外,在通貨膨脹較高的時期,投資者和消費者往往尋求更加靈活的金融解決方案。IndexHU(匈牙利):一些分析人士認為,利率下降以及更好的融資機會可能會為金融科技公司帶來強勁推動力。您是否認同這一觀點?Josip Heit:絕對認同。低利率降低了借貸成本,因此能夠幫助金融科技公司更快地擴展業務。同時,我們還觀察到,機構投資者越來越多地將資金投入技術項目,這對金融科技初創企業極為有利。IndexHU(匈牙利):電子支付和財富科技(Wealthtech)似乎正在經歷強勁復甦。這背後的原因是什麼?Josip Heit:疫情加速了全球數位支付方式的普及,這一趨勢仍在持續。財富科技的增長則得益於私人和機構投資者越來越傾向於通過數位化方式管理財富。IndexHU(匈牙利):您如何評估金融科技公司與美國銀行之間的合作關係,以及開放銀行(Open Banking)的未來發展?Josip Heit:更加明確的監管要求加強了雙方的合作。傳統銀行受益於金融科技創新,而金融科技公司則可以利用傳統銀行已建立的客戶群體。開放銀行促進了透明度和市場競爭。在唐納德·川普的第二任期內,金融科技公司在華盛頓的影響力進一步增強,這可能會加速相關法規的制定。IndexHU(匈牙利):最近,美國35個州和加拿大的多個省級監管機構與您創立的GSB德國公司達成了一項協議。您能介紹一下其中最重要的內容嗎?Josip Heit:當然。這項協議不涉及任何罰款,但允許這些司法管轄區內符合條件的客戶獲得退款。獨立管理機構AlixPartners將負責理賠結算,該過程從2025年2月21日開始,並將於2025年5月22日結束。我們認為這是一個具有建設性的解決方案,進一步體現了我們對社區的承諾。IndexHU(匈牙利):您認為這項協議將如何影響GSB德國在金融科技行業的地位?Josip Heit:我們的首要任務是透明度和合規性。通過達成這項協議,我們希望加強GSB德國的聲譽,並專注於為值得信賴的合作夥伴提供前瞻性、穩健的技術解決方案。此外,我們也願意在相同條件下,與其他美國或加拿大的監管機構達成和解。IndexHU(匈牙利):最後,您如何看待獨角獸企業在金融科技行業中的角色?Josip Heit:獨角獸企業因其估值而備受關注,並展現了行業的快速增長。然而,它們仍然需要證明自身商業模式的長期可持續性。IndexHU(匈牙利):Heit先生,作為金融科技行業技術解決方案的專家,感謝您接受採訪。本次採訪提供的資訊僅用於一般參考,不構成財務、投資、法律或其他專業建議。讀者不應將本文內容作為財務決策或預測的可靠依據。媒體聯絡:INDEX HUNGARIABalatoni út 2-a-1St FloorB ÉpületBudapest, 1112, HungaryPhone: +36 1 621 0000https://www.IndexRSS.comPresse@IndexRSS.com來源: INDEX HUNGARIA Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Josip Heit, Founder of GSB Germany in an Interview on the Future of the Fintech Industry ACN Newswire

Josip Heit, Founder of GSB Germany in an Interview on the Future of the Fintech Industry

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, Mar 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - INDEX HUNGARIAIndexHU (Hungaria): Mr Heit, thank you very much for taking the time for this interview. Investments in fintech seem to be on the rise again worldwide. How do you see this?Josip Heit: Thank you very much for the invitation. Fintechs have reconfirmed their status as a promising growth sector after a period of investment restraint. We are seeing an upward trend in venture capital financing, particularly in Asia and the United States. Current data from CB Insights and Bloomberg confirm this upswing.IndexHU (Hungaria): To what extent do geopolitical factors and the economic climate influence the fintech market?Josip Heit : Geopolitical tensions can certainly have an on investment decisions and regulatory frameworks. However, the recent easing in certain regions and ongoing digitalisation have strengthened fintech activities overall. In addition, investors and consumers are often looking for more flexible financial solutions in times of higher inflation.IndexHU (Hungaria): Some analysts believe that falling interest rates and better opportunities to raise capital could give fintech companies a strong boost. Do you agree?Josip Heit: Definitely. Low interest rates reduce the cost of borrowing and therefore enable fintechs to grow faster. We are also observing that institutional investors are increasingly channelling funds into technology projects, which greatly benefits fintech start-ups.IndexHU (Hungaria): Payments and wealthtechs appear to be experiencing a strong recovery. What are the reasons for this?Josip Heit : The pandemic has accelerated the global spread of digital payment methods and this trend is continuing. Wealthtechs are benefiting from the fact that private and institutional investors increasingly want to organise their wealth management digitally.IndexHU (Hungaria): How do you assess the cooperation between fintechs and US banks and the future of open banking?Josip Heit : Clearer regulatory requirements have intensified cooperation. Traditional banks benefit from innovations, while fintechs can draw on established customer bases. Open banking promotes transparency and competition. Under Donald Trump's second presidency, fintech companies have gained additional influence in Washington, which may accelerate regulatory development.IndexHU (Hungaria): Recently, regulators in thirty-five US states and Canadian provinces reached an agreement with GSB Germany, the company you founded. Can you explain the most important points?Josip Heit: Of course. The agreement does not provide for any fines, but enables eligible customers in these jurisdictions to receive refunds. An independent administrator, AlixPartners, will take over the settlement of the claims, which started on 21 February 2025 and will end on 22 May 2025. We see this as a constructive solution that reaffirms our commitment to our community.IndexHU (Hungaria): How do you think this agreement will affect GSB Germany's position in the fintech sector?Josip Heit: Our priority is transparency and compliance. By reaching this agreement, we want to strengthen GSB Germany's reputation and focus on providing forward-looking, solid technological solutions to our trusted partners. We have also expressed our willingness to settle with any other US or Canadian regulator on the same terms.IndexHU (Hungaria): Finally, how would you describe the role of unicorns in the fintech sector?Josip Heit : Unicorns attract a lot of attention due to their valuations and illustrate the rapid growth of the industry. Nevertheless, they have to prove the long-term viability of their business models.IndexHU (Hungaria): Mr Heit, as an expert in technological solutions for the fintech industry, thank you for the interview.The information provided in this interview is for general information purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, legal or other professional advice.

Macquarie Capital Limited is the Overall Coordinator, Joint Global Coordinator, Joint Bookrunner and Joint Lead Manager. China International Capital Corporation Hong Kong Securities Limited is the Joint Global Coordinator, Joint Bookrunner and Joint Lead Manager.Investment HighlightsChifeng Gold is the largest non-state owned gold producer in China and is mainly engaged in the mining, processing and sales of gold. Its gold Resources and gold production rank fifth among the gold producers in China. Currently, Chifeng Gold owns and operates six gold mines and one polymetallic mine across the world, including China, Southeast Asia, and West Africa. For the three financial years ended 31 December 2023, Chifeng Gold’s total revenue continued to grow, reaching approximately RMB3,782.6 million, RMB6,266.8 million and RMB7,221.0 million, respectively. For the nine months ended 30 September 2024, Chifeng Gold’s total revenue amounted to RMB6,222.8 million.China’s largest non-state owned gold producer with leading production and revenue growth and promising market prospectsFrom 2021 to 2023, Chifeng Gold’s gold production has grown rapidly, with total gold production volume of 260 koz, 436 koz and 461.5 koz, respectively, which represents a CAGR of 33.1%, making it the leading gold producer in terms of gold production growth rate in China during the period. In addition, Chifeng Gold’s domestic gold mines have relatively high ore grades, making them some of the top-tier deposits in China. According to Frost & Sullivan, as of 31 December 2023, Chifeng Gold’s major domestic gold mines, namely the Jilong Gold Mine, Wulong Gold Mine and Huatai Gold Mine, had the highest gold grades among the top five gold producers in China.Chifeng Gold has high visibility and certainties in its production expansion plans for its gold mines and aims to achieve Resources and Reserves enhancement through exploration activities. In terms of overseas gold assets, Chifeng Gold is accelerating the construction of the open-pit and underground mining projects of the Sepon Gold and Copper Mine, which is expected to increase the annual underground mining capacity from the current 536,000 tonnes to 806,000 tonnes by 2025. Meanwhile, Chifeng Gold is accelerating the modelling and study of exploration prospects at Discovery West Deeps and Phavat North with open-pit and underground mining potentials. The annual underground mining capacity is expected to be further increased after 2026 and 2027. In terms of domestic gold assets, Chifeng Gold’s Wulong Gold Mine has been undergoing several technological improvement projects. It is estimated that the annual processing capacity of the Wulong Gold Mine will increase from 578,000 tonnes to approximately 700,000 tonnes by the end of 2024. At the same time, Chifeng Gold has also initiated an expansion project at the Jilong Gold Mine to increase its annual mining capacity to approximately 300,000 tonnes by the end of 2025.Excellent track record of identifying acquisition targets, executing transactions and integrating businesses, with rich overseas experience and strong international reputationChifeng Gold believes that a core competitiveness metric of gold companies is the ability to continuously obtain high-quality mineral resources. Newly discovered gold deposits in China have been limited in recent years, and the grade of gold is generally at a relatively low level. As a result, in addition to developing its existing gold mines in China, Chifeng Gold has strategically focused its expansion plan on identifying and acquiring suitable and high-quality overseas assets to maintain a sustainable growth. As of 30 September 2024, its overseas assets accounted for approximately 65.2% of its total assets, and its overseas revenue accounted for approximately 71.2% of its total revenue. According to Frost & Sullivan, Chifeng Gold is the gold company in China with the greatest overseas presence both in terms of overseas assets contribution as of 31 December 2023 and in terms of overseas revenue contribution in 2023.Chifeng Gold’s management team has profound experience in overseas acquisitions and is highly competent in integrating and operating acquired overseas assets and can leverage its advantages in overseas expansion to achieve sustainable and efficient growth.

加強管控開支 提升政府效率 繼續投資基建 重塑經濟動力 ACN Newswire

加強管控開支 提升政府效率 繼續投資基建 重塑經濟動力

香港, 2025年2月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 香港董事學會認為,今日發表的預算案,加強管控開支, 提升政府效率,繼續投資基建,重塑經濟動力。司長宣佈, 2025-26年度,所有行政、立法、司法機關及區議會全體人員,一致凍薪。司長亦同時提出强化版的財政整合計劃,力圖減少政府經常開支,務求至2027-28年度能獲得7%纍計削減。公務員編制也會縮小,預期至本屆政府任期於2027年完結時能削減10000個職位。我們認爲,凍薪加上更進取的財政整合將有助控制開支。正如司長所言,希望各部門能通過整合内部資源、精簡程序及善用科技,以更具成本效益的方式提供服務。若電子政府服務可以因此變得更快更佳,該是市民之福。調整長者2元乘車優惠方面,一如近日消息,司長建議改作「2元、2折」優惠,10元或以下票價的仍是2元乘車,10元以上票價則兩折車費,設每月240程上限,而受惠年歲則維持不變。由於人口老化,優惠計劃涉及款項日增,調整方案無可厚非。坊間近日也有不少討論、建議。政府大可以采納高於兩折的車費以減少補貼開支。我們也曾提議,以半價為起點,60嵗起按年齡將額外折扣逐年遞增(即,車費逐年遞減)至最終2元的方式,而2元最惠車費受惠年限更可以推至65歲後。司長的建議,顧及優惠計劃的初衷及承諾,大衆應該可以接受。支援措施去年預算案的紓困措施已經比較謹慎,連年赤字是原因之一。今年退稅、差餉寬免額度也不耀眼。綜援、生果金等亦只繼續獲發額外半個月。司長提到,為支持本地企業發展及「走出去」,會向「發展品牌、升級轉型及拓展內銷市場的專項基金」(「BUD專項基金」)及「市場推廣及工商機構支援基金」合共注資十五億元,並優化申請安排。「中小企融資擔保計劃」於去年11月重推「還息不還本」安排,為期一年,讓企業可以申請最多12個月還息不還本。此外,司長亦表示多家銀行已加入由金管局和香港銀行公會成立的「中小企融資專責小組」,承諾盡量作出彈性安排,減輕中小企資金周轉壓力。增加收入、整合資源司長回應了我們及其它社會人士的聲音,會先將6個種子基金内未需動用的資源撥囘政府帳目,往後還回繼續檢視其它基金的財務安排。由此,可以解封被鎖定的巨額款項,更有效運用公共財政資源。司長指出,會檢討政府隧道及主要幹道的收費、交通違例定額罰款等,體現「用者自付」原則,也更好管理交通。按此道理,或也是時候重啓繁忙地段電子道路收費計劃。司長今日重申,要保持簡單稅制的優勢,盡量避免大幅調升稅率或引入新稅種。不過,香港稅基狹窄、過於倚賴賣地收入等,已然是香港公共財政的老問題,政府必須積極面對,尋求出路。鞏固基礎 提速發展司長提到,香港經濟連續兩年錄得溫和增長。2024-25年度薪俸稅、利得稅收入保持平穩,反映本港經濟的韌度。我們認爲,未來一兩年更需鞏固經濟復蘇的勢頭,加快產業發升級轉型。預算案演辭就多個經濟環節的既定發展路向做了匯報。我們理解,創新科技、新興產業等多個環節範疇仍需時間方得成果。我們認同 ,「北部都會區」對香港社會和經濟發展至為重要,能加速創科產業發展。為抓緊創新科技帶來的機遇,預算案優先投放資源加快「北部都會區」發展,做法正確。我們也認同,香港目前仍具備條件和能力,可以負擔一定的發債規模。社會上有人擔心,財赤之下不應舉債,但我們相信司長會堅守既有的財政紀律,發債所得資金不會用於支付政府經常開支,而是用作基建投資,為社會經濟創造更多價值。司長預測,經營帳目於2025-26年度已有望大致平衡,2026-27年度可以恢復盈餘。經濟持續向好,亦會令各項稅收及土地相關收入回到較高水平。加快「北都」建設及其它基建工務工程會帶來赤字,但司長預測2026-27年度開始逐年下降。總體而言,我們支持司長擴大發債規模的政策方向,在仍然穩健及可控的債務水平下,投資未來,重塑經濟動力。香港董事學會簡介香港董事學會(簡稱「HKIoD」或「學會」)為香港代表專業董事的首要組織,其宗旨是促進所有公司的持久成就;為達成使命,學會致力提倡優秀企業管治與釐訂相關標準,以及協助董事的專業發展。憑藉由來自上市公司及非上市公司的董事組成之會員基礎,學會致力為董事提供教育項目及資訊服務,並代表董事發聲。學會具國際視野及多元文化,採用兩文三語經營業務。香港董事學會為「環球董事學會聯盟」即Global Network of Director Institutes的成員,該聯盟匯集世界各地代表董事的翹楚學會。網址 http://www.hkiod.com。傳媒查詢:王俊泳先生(電話﹕2889 1414;電郵﹕wing.wong@hkiod.com;傳真﹕2889 9982) Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
