Mayfair Gold Corp. (“
Mayfair” or the
“
Company”) (
TSX-V: MFG; OTC:
MFGQB) is pleased to announce the sixth set of results for
2022 from the Fenn-Gib drill program, which is mainly focused
outside the current conceptual pit-constrained resource. Results
from the seven new drill holes reported today confirm strong strike
and depth expansion of the Fenn-Gib gold mineralization, which
remains open in most directions.
Mayfair’s 100% controlled Fenn-Gib Project,
located in the Timmins region of Northeast Ontario, hosts a
NI43-101 Indicated Resource of 2.08M ounces (see the “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. Based on assay
results up to July 31, 2022, the Company is planning to provide a
resource update before the end of October 2022. A further resource
update is planned for Q2 2023 which will incorporate all the drill
results since July 31, including those reported below.
Mayfair Gold President and CEO Patrick Evans
commented: “Fenn-Gib has tremendous upside for growth based on the
remarkably consistent assay results from our expansion drill
program. The broadly disseminated gold mineralization continues
from near-surface to depths below 600m. Although we have already
completed approximately 96,000m of our planned 110,000m drill
program, it’s apparent that the mineralization remains open in most
directions.”

including 18.0m at a grade of 1.77 g/t Au; hole
FG21-150 intersected 65.5m at a grade of
1.18 g/t Au, including 10.0m at a grade of 4.24
g/t Au (news release July 27, 2021); hole
FG21-190 intersected 0.59 g/t Au over
158.0m, including 1.07 g/t Au over 34.0m,
hole FG21-217C intersected 0.77 g/t Au
over 184.5m, including 0.98 g/t Au over
62.0m, and including 1.31 g/t Au over
18.8m, and hole FG22-223 intersected
1.21 g/t Au over 112.1m, including 3.04
g/t Au over 31.5m (news release June 8, 2022); hole
FG21-206 intersected 0.93 g/t Au over
134.2m, including 1.31 g/t Au over 78.3m,
and hole FG21-213 intersected 1.02 g/t Au over
92.7m (news release May 2, 2022).

QA/QC Controls
Mayfair Gold (Mayfair) employs a QA/QC program
consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Surface
drilling was conducted by Major/Norex Drilling of Timmins, Ontario
and was supervised by the Mayfair exploration team. Mayfair’s
drill program includes descriptive logging and sampling of the
drill core for analysis at Mayfair’s secure facility located in
Matheson, Ontario. Sampled drill core intervals were sawn in half
with a diamond blade saw. Half of the sampled core was left in the
core box and the remaining half was bagged and sealed. Mayfair
utilizes accredited laboratories that include, Activation
Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) and AGAT Laboratories Ltd. (AGAT) both
located in Timmins, Ontario, and Swastika Laboratories Ltd located
in Swastika, Ontario. Mayfair personnel transport the samples
directly and deliver them to Actlabs, and samples are collected by
both AGAT and Swastika personnel directly from Mayfair’s secure
core logging facility in Matheson, Ontario. Gold was analyzed by
30-gram fire assay with AA-finish. Certified reference material
(CRM) standards and coarse blank material are inserted every twenty
samples. Mayfair completes routine third-party check assays.
Drill intercepts cited do not necessarily represent true
widths, unless otherwise noted.
About Mayfair
Mayfair is a Canadian gold exploration company
focused on advancing the 100% controlled Fenn-Gib gold project in
the Timmins region of Northern Ontario. The Fenn-Gib gold deposit
is Mayfair’s flagship asset. An open-pit constrained NI 43-101
resource estimate (Source: “NI 43-101 Technical Report Fenn-Gib
Project, Ontario, Canada” dated February 5, 2021, authored by JDS
Energy and Mining, Inc. and Kirkham Geosystems Ltd.) reported a
total Indicated Resource of 70.2M tonnes containing 2.08M ounces at
a grade of 0.921 g/t Au and an Inferred Resource of 3.8M tonnes
containing 75,000 ounces at a grade of 0.618 g/t Au. The deposit
has a strike length of approx. 1.25km with widths ranging up to
300m. The gold mineralized zones remain open at depth and along
strike to the east and west. Recently completed metallurgical tests
confirm that the Fen-Gib deposit can deliver robust gold recoveries
of up to 94%.
