FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information included in this presentation, including any information as to our future exploration, financial or operating performance and other statements that express management’s expectations or estimates of future performance, constitute ‘forward-looking statements’ within the meaning of the ‘safe harbour’ provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities laws. The words ‘expect’, ‘believe’, ‘will’, ‘intend’, ‘estimate’ and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, risks and contingencies, including the possibility that drill programs will not yield the expected results. The Company cautions the reader that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of LaFleur Minerals Inc. to be materially different from the Company’s estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements and that the forwardlooking statements are not guarantees of future performance. These statements are also based on certain factors and assumptions.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Estimates of Mineral Resources: The mineral resource estimates reported in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States’ securities laws. The CIM Definition Standards differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Guide 7 (the “SEC Guide 7”). The terms “mineral resource”, “Measured mineral resource”, “Indicated mineral resource” and “Inferred mineral resource” are defined in NI 43-101 and recognized by Canadian securities laws but are not defined terms under SEC Guide 7 or recognized under U.S. securities laws. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be upgraded to mineral reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “Inferred mineral resource” will ever by upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of “Inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves, and do not have demonstrated economic viability, but do have reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by geology, environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues. Measured and Indicated mineral resources are sufficiently well defined to allow geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed and permit the application of technical and economic parameters in assessing the economic viability of the resource. Inferred mineral resources are estimated on limited information not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity or to allow technical and economic parameters to be applied. Inferred mineral resources are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies or economic studies except for Preliminary Assessment as defined under NI 43-101. Readers are cautioned not to assume that further work on the stated resources will lead to mineral reserves that can be mined economically.be a comprehensive review of all matters and developments concerning the Company. It should be read in conjunction with all other disclosure documents of the Company. The information contained herein is not a substitute for detailed investigation or analysis. No securities commission or regulatory authority has reviewed the accuracy or adequacy of the information presented. This presentation contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation. Such forward looking statements concern the Company’s anticipated results and developments in the Company’s operations and financial condition in future periods, planned exploration and development of its properties, plans related to its business and other matters that may occur in the future. Forward looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by words such as the following: expects, plans, anticipates, believes, intends, estimates, projects, assumes, potential and similar expressions, and include reference to events or conditions that will, would, may, could or should occur. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on expectations of future performance, including silver, gold, tellurium, tungsten, lead, zinc and copper production and planned work programs, cash flow forecasts, projected capital and operating costs, and metal price assumptions. Statements concerning mineral resource estimates may also constitute forward looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed. Forward looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements, including, without limitation:

QUALIFIED PERSON STATEMENT

risks related to precious and base metal price fluctuations; risks related to fluctuations in the currency markets (particularly the Canadian and United States dollars); risks related to the inherently dangerous activity of mining, including conditions or events beyond our control, and operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, development and mining activities; uncertainty in the Company’s ability to raise financing and fund the exploration and development of its mineral properties; uncertainty as to actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns, and uncertainty that development activities will result in profitable mining operations; risks related to reserves and mineral resource figures being estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated and to diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined; risks related to governmental regulations and obtaining necessary licenses and permits; risks related to the business being subject to environmental laws and regulations which may increase costs of doing business and restrict our operations; risks related to mineral properties being subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers, or claims and other defects in title; risks relating to inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance; risks related to potential litigation; risk related to the global economy; risks related to environmental laws; risks related to political, economic, social and regulatory instability. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward looking statements. The Company’s forward looking statements are based on beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. For the reasons set forth above, actual results may vary from those implied or projected by forward looking statements and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on such statements.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”): The PEA is preliminary in nature, and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.

• 66.8 koz contained gold

◦ Open pit: 854 kt @ 1.75 g/t Au (48 koz)

◦ Underground: 225 kt @ 2.60 g/t Au (18.8 koz)

Key Assumptions

• Gold price: US$2,500/oz

• Open pit COG: 0.5 g/t

• Underground COG: 1.85 g/t

• Recovery:

◦ Open pit: 90% mining / 84% milling

◦ Underground: 85% mining / 84% milling

* No Mineral Reserves declared. PEA includes Inferred resources.

* PEA is supported by an updated MRE (2026 MRE) for the Swanson Gold Deposit completed in accordance with CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (May 2014) and NI 43-101.

* All resources are reported in situ, undiluted, within Zone 1–4 lithologies, and exclusive of mineral reserves, with contained ounces calculated using the standard conversion factor (tonnes × grade × 0.032151). 2026

Resources are reported in situ, undiluted, Zone 1 – 4 lithologies and exclusive of Mineral Reserves. Contained Au koz=Tonnes kt*Au g/t * 0.032151.

Density Values of 2.9 tonnes/m3 were assigned where no density in the block model was recorded.

The Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) satisfies the criteria for Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction (RPEEE) and have applied open pit and underground extraction assumptions.

The Qualified Person (QP) that assessed RPEEE is James Gardner, P.Eng. (OIQ).

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The open pit mineral resources RPEEE considers all blocks that may generate a revenue even at a small amount in the ultimate pit shell (revenue factor 100) generated using Datamine NPVS. This is not the optimised pit shell that generates the highest NPV. The physical constraints the Lerch Grossman algorithm used are:

o Rock wall angles of 18° overburden and 45° wall angle.

o (Lerchs-Grossmann algorithm) stripping ratio and the cost of waste blocks above required removed to mine the mineralized, making a decision on each block and its unique economics.

o Revenue, Costs, Recovery, and Dilution applied to blocks: Blocks within the ultimate pit shell had a cut-off-grade COG of 0.5 g/t applied, as shown in the equation below:

The cut-off-grade applied for RPEEE is the operational, this reflects the reality of sunk mining cost of material once in a truck, and is the grade at which material should be directed by operations to a low-grade stockpile, the mill and kept out of a waste rock dump. Factors used in the above equation are:

o Sales price of gold of US$2,500/oz converted to minus selling costs, USD/CAD exchange rate of 1.4.

o Recovery of 90% mining and 84% milling (%).

o Costs of $40/tonne: $40/t, comprising $5/t transport, $28/t processing, $4/t reclamation, and $3/t G&A.

The underground mineral resources RPEEE were defined using Datamine’s Mineable Shape Optimizer (MSO), which uses an operational cut-off-grade and includes assumed costs for operating development. At the time of the study, there is not yet enough material underground to warrant inclusion into the PEA’s economic assessment. The physical dimensions of the stopes generated are the following and have a minimum thickness of 5m applied which relates to the cost of mining.

o 5 metres thick, 20 m height and 20 m along strike.

The COG calculation was based on a minimum thickness for a high productivity stope of 5m using modern equipment. This is not the same as the minimum minable thickness which is 8ft for high grade deposits and handheld equipment. It is also based on observations about the geologically wireframed geometry of the deposit and what is known at the time of the study. A longhole open stoping, retreat or transverse method was selected. The COG formula above was used with the following assumptions:

o Sales price of gold of US$2,500/oz converted to minus selling costs, USD/CAD exchange rate of 1.4.

o Recovery of 85% mining and 84% milling.

o Costs of $147/tonne: comprising $5/t transport, $28/t processing, $4/t reclamation, and $5/t G&A and $105/t mining for longhole.

The QPs are not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, or marketing issues or any other relevant issue not reported in the Technical Report that could materially affect the Mineral Resources Estimate.
