  • Hole FG23-359 reports 27.60 g/t Au over 2.1m, hole FG23-361 intersected 16.47 g/t Au over 2.3m and hole FG23-351 reported 2.19 g/t Au over 16.8m, including 3.28 g/t Au over 7.0 and 3.21 g/t Au over 2.0m

  • Mineralization outside current Fenn-Gib pit-constrained 3.38M ounce deposit

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mayfair Gold Corp. (“Mayfair” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: MFG; OTCQB: MFGCF) is pleased to announce further 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 (g/t) Au and an Inferred mineral resource of 0.16Moz Au at 0.85 g/t 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 500m wide at the west end.

Mayfair Gold President and CEO Patrick Evans commented: “The 3.38Moz 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 500m, remaining open to both the northeast and southwest, and confirmed continuity to a depth of more than 600m.”

Mr. Evans added: “Drilling resumes this week with one of the three drill rigs positioned approximately 1 km to the southwest of currently defined Footwall Zone mineralization, where past drilling at the G101 target intersected 4.47 g/t Au over 13.2m in hole C4-3 and 4.42 g/t Au over 3.35m in hole C4-5. Step-out drilling will test the potential continuity of mineralization between the Footwall Zone and G101.”

Highlight drill results include:

  1. FG23-351 intersected 2.19 g/t Au over 16.8m, including 3.28 g/t Au over 7.0m and 3.21 g/t Au over 2.0m;

  2. FG23-353 intersected 2.10 g/t Au over 16.0m, including 4.07 g/t Au over 3.0m;

  3. FG23-359 intersected 27.60 g/t Au over 2.1m, 3.64 g/t Au over 5.0m and 3.70 g/t Au over 3.2m

  4. FG23-361 intersected 16.47 g/t Au over 2.3m;

  5. FG23-366 intersected 6.23 g/t Au over 2.9m, including 15.80 g/t Au over 0.9m; and

  6. FG23-368 intersected 3.14 g/t Au over 10.0m including 15.94 g/t over 1.0m.
