NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage

NEW YORK, July 21, 2025 /CNW/ -- Gold's remarkable surge beyond $3,300 per ounce (all figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted) in 2025 has become more than a fleeting price spike—it reflects deepening investor skepticism about the global financial system. With inflation stubbornly persistent and confidence in fiat currencies waning, gold has reasserted its place as a reliable store of value. The shift has triggered a wave of investment into Canadian gold ventures, especially those in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt — Canada's largest gold producing region. LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (Profile) is leveraging this momentum to fast-track its transformation from explorer to producer. The company joins a growing field of forward-focused mining companies including SSR Mining Inc. (TSX:SSRM.TO) (OTCPK:SSRGF), New Gold Inc. (TSX:NGD.TO) (NYSEAmerican:NGD), K2 Gold Corp. (TSX.V: KTO) (OTC-BB:KTGDF) and Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (OTC-BB:HUSIF).
