• 125,000m of 140,000m Infill and Expansion Drill Program Completed
• Resource update scheduled for Q2 2023
• Open-pit geotechnical drill program and hydro-geological survey underway
• South Block IP and magnetic geophysical surveys completed
• Noth Block IP survey continuing
• Pre-feasibility Study scheduled for H2 2023

Mayfair Gold Corp. (TSX-V: MFG) (OTCQB: MFGCF) is pleased to announce the latest set of drill results 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 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.

“Wide areas of higher-grade gold mineralization continue to be defined within and below the current conceptual open pit,” said Mayfair Gold President and CEO Patrick Evans. “The near-surface, higher-grade mineralization on the west side of the Fenn-Gib deposit opens the potential for a high-grade starter pit. Further expansion drilling below the conceptual open pit is planned to determine the depth extension of the western high-grade zone. Based on assay results received to date, Mayfair is planning to release an updated NI 43-101 resource statement in the second quarter.”

Mr. Evans added: “The geotechnical drill program, drill hole televiewer survey, and the hydrogeological survey on the conceptual open pit have commenced to support Mayfair’s planned pre-feasibility study, which is scheduled to begin shortly and expected to be completed in H2 2023. The South Block regional exploration program has advanced with approximately 132-line km of Induced Polarization (IP) and magnetic geophysical surveys completed covering the regional gold-bearing Destor-Porcupine fault. Interpretation is in progress in preparation for a drill program. On the Fenn-Gib North Block, approximately 102-line km of IP surveys were completed on Grid A successfully defining five new compelling coincident IP chargeability and resistivity drill targets. The IP survey is currently progressing over the Footwall Zone gold trend.”

Resource drilling at the Fenn-Gib deposit has paused pending completion of the geotechnical drill program, which is supported by one drill rig. Two of the rigs are currently drilling at the Fenn-Gib Footwall Zone. Moving forward, the focus of resource drilling will be fourfold:

1. Defining the full extent of the higher-grade Footwall Zone mineralization immediately to the northwest of the Fenn-Gib deposit;
2. Expanding potentially open-pittable gold mineralization in the higher-grade areas on the east side of the deposit;
3. Explore the potential of underground mineralization on the west side of the deposit; and
4. Testing high-priority drill targets identified by the recently completed regional exploration program.

Additional drill results from the infill, expansion and step-out drill program will be announced as they are received.

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.

About Mayfair Gold

Mayfair Gold is a Canadian mineral 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 and currently hosts an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate of a total open-pit constrained Indicated Resource of 118.07M tonnes containing 3.06M ounces at a grade of 0.81 g/t Au and an Inferred Resource of 13.8M tonnes containing 0.31M ounces at a grade of 0.70g/t Au. (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%.
