Mayfair Gold Drills 1.97 g/t Au over 68.9m including 3.01 g/t Au over 12.5m at Fenn-Gib Footwall Zone

  • Hole FG24-390 reports 6.12   g/t Au over 14.0 meters
  • Footwall Zone structure extended to approx. 1km strike length, open in all directions
  • Steep dipping mineralization from the surface to below 600 meters
  • Multiple parallel mineralized structures intersected
  • Footwall Zone immediately adjacent to main Fenn-Gib deposit
  • Two drill rigs active at Footwall Zone

Mayfair Gold Corp. (" Mayfair " or the " Company ") ( TSX-V: MFG; OTCQB: MFGCF ) is pleased to announce further drill results from the higher-grade Footwall Zone located approximately 100 meters (m) to the northwest of the Fenn-Gib gold deposit. Mayfair's 100% controlled Fenn-Gib Project, located in the Timmins region of Northeast Ontario, hosts a NI 43-101 open-pit-constrained Indicated mineral resource estimate of 3.38 million (M) ounces (oz) gold (Au) at a grade of 0.93 grams per tonne (gt) Au and an Inferred mineral resource of 0.16Moz Au at 0.85 gt Au (see the "About Mayfair" section below). The near-surface Fenn-Gib gold mineralization is broadly disseminated striking east-west on the Pipestone Fault over more than 1.5 kilometers (km) and is over 500 m wide at the west end.

Mayfair Gold President and CEO Patrick Evans commented: "The 3.38M ounce Fenn-Gib deposit is a high-quality ‘anchor' asset with very favorable geology capable of delivering industry-leading gold recoveries with standard flowsheet options. Resource drilling on the Footwall Zone discovery immediately adjacent to the Fenn-Gib deposit continues to identify wide zones of high-grade gold mineralization. Drilling has so far extended the strike of the outcropping Footwall Zone to more than 1 kilometer—and it remains open to both the northeast and southwest—and confirmed continuity to a depth of more than 600 m."

The winter resource drilling campaign at the Footwall Zone has extended the strike of the mineralized structure over approximately 1 km. The mineralization reported today in drill holes FG24- 385, 387, and 388 is located within the northern portion of the 2023 Fenn-Gib resource conceptual open-pit and is expected to increase the Fenn-Gib open-pittable resource. A maiden resource on the Footwall Zone is expected to be completed by mid-2024.

The Footwall Zone target consists of multiple mineralized zones hosted primarily in the footwall mafic volcanic assemblage, located immediately northwest of the Fenn-Gib gold deposit. The Footwall Zone strikes in a northeasterly direction and with a steep northerly dip. Mineralization consists of bleached, buff-altered (silica-albite-carbonate alteration), pillowed mafic volcanic with pyrite ranging from 2% to over 20%.

Metallurgical tests conducted on a Footwall Zone underground sample showed excellent metallurgy. Whole-ore cyanidation confirmed the high gold recovery of 94.2% at a P 80 59um grind size and 48-hour leach time (news release March 28, 2022).

The latest reported drill results are summarized in Table 1 below, and Table 2 lists the drill hole details.

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 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.

American Creek previously held a fully carried 20 percent interest.

"Our acquisition of American Creek increases our interest to 80 percent in the Treaty Creek Project, which hosts one of the largest gold discoveries in Canada with excellent potential for expansion and additional gold-copper discoveries, at a reasonable per ounce of gold equivalent cost," said Joe Ovsenek, Tudor Gold president and CEO, in a press release.

Top 7 ASX Gold ETFs in 2025

The price of gold reached record highs in 2025, driven by global economic uncertainty stemming from shifting US trade policy and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

For many investors, gold is a tool for diversification. The precious metal is known for its ability to act as a safe haven and hence operates as a protective option when building a balanced portfolio.

Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) give investors a relatively easy way to get exposure to physical gold without having to worry about the extra hassle of buying and storing the metal — not to mention insuring it. Gold ETFs can also track a basket of gold-focused stocks, allowing investors to spread risk instead of betting on individual companies.
