August 18 2022 - 07:00AM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
Mayfair Gold Corp. (“
Mayfair” or the
“
Company”) (
TSX-V: MFG; OTCQB:
MFGCF) is pleased to announce the successful completion of
the Company’s maiden North Block regional exploration drill program
at the Fenn-Gib Project, located in the Timmins region of Northeast
Ontario. Prior to Mayfair’s acquisition of Fenn-Gib, there was only
limited systematic regional exploration on the 32.55km2 North
Block, which hosts a NI 43-101 Indicated Resource of 2.08M ounces
(see “About Mayfair” section below) with disseminated gold
mineralization striking east-west on the Pipestone Fault over 1.25
kilometers (km) and up to 300 meters (m) wide at the west end.
Mayfair Gold President and CEO Patrick Evans
commented: “Immediately after acquiring Fenn-Gib at the end of
2020, planning commenced for regional exploration beyond the
110,000m infill and expansion drill program on the Fenn-Gib
deposit. Mayfair completed the first ever heliborne,
high-resolution triaxial MAG survey at 75m-spaced flight lines over
both the North and South Blocks in April 2021. A comprehensive
North Block follow-up surface work program took place over the
summer of 2021 while SRK Consulting completed a regional-scale
structural geology interpretation of the aeromagnetic data. Based
on the very encouraging results, planning started for the maiden
North Block regional drill program.”
The North Block regional program commenced in
January with ground geophysics over the priority Talisman and
Horseshoe targets. Drilling at the Talisman Target, located approx.
350m west of the Fenn-Gib deposit, commenced on March 3, 2022, and
a total of 2,631m was drilled in nine holes. At the Horseshoe Zone,
located approx. 500m northwest of the Fenn-Gib deposit, a total of
4,871m was drilled in 13 holes. Assay results are currently
pending.
The North Block regional exploration program has
now been expanded to include line cutting across substantially all
of the high potential northern portion of the property. This
program includes soil sampling, mapping, and ground geophysics to
define targets for a Phase 2 drill program planned for next
winter.
