VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mayfair Gold Corp. (“

Mayfair

” or the “

Company

”) (

TSX-V: MFG; OTCQB: MFGCF

) is pleased to announce the seventh set of drill results for 2022 from the Fenn-Gib resource expansion and infill drill program. Mayfair’s 100% controlled Fenn-Gib Project, located in the Timmins region of Northeast Ontario, hosts a NI 43-101 open-pit constrained Indicated Resource of 3.06 million (M) ounces and an Inferred Resource of 0.31M ounces (see the “About Mayfair” section below), with disseminated gold mineralization striking east-west on the Pipestone Fault over more than 1.25 kilometers (km) and up to 300 meters (m) wide at the west end.

Mayfair Gold President and CEO Patrick Evans commented: “The results of our 2022 drill program confirm that Fenn-Gib is an exceptional gold deposit located in the first-tier mining jurisdiction of Timmins, Ontario. The broadly disseminated gold mineralization continues from near surface to depths below 600 meters. We have already completed over 101,000m of our planned 110,000m drill program and it’s apparent that mineralization remains open in most directions. A further resource update is scheduled for Q2 2023 and preparations are underway for a Pre-Feasibility study, which is expected to be completed in Q4 2023.”

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.

(Source: Garth Kirkham, P. Geo., of Kirkham Geosystems Ltd., who is deemed a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, dated October 15, 2022). The Fenn-Gib 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%.
