MAYFAIR BOLSTERS EXECUTIVE TEAM WITH
ADDITION OF VETERAN CFO
VANCOUVER, BC
,
April 7, 2026
/CNW/ - Mayfair Gold Corp. ("
Mayfair
", "
Mayfair Gold
" or the "
Company
") (NYSE
American: MINE; TSX-V: MFG) is pleased to announce the appointment of Kevin Annett as Chief Financial Officer of the
Company (
"CFO"
), effective April 7, 2026.
Kevin Annett, CPA, is a seasoned mining finance executive with over 15 years of experience spanning project
construction, operations, and corporate leadership. He most recently served as Chief Financial Officer, North America at
Barrick Mining Corporation, where he led financial strategy, planning, and governance for the company's largest
region, with a strong focus on disciplined capital allocation and value creation.
Earlier in his career, he held progressively senior roles across Barrick and Detour Gold. Mr. Annett holds a CPA
designation and an Honours degree in finance and economics from the University of New Brunswick, and has completed
the Advanced Management Program at The Wharton School.
With the announcement of Kevin Annett joining Mayfair as CFO, Mayfair plans to complete a non-brokered private
placement with Mr. Annett for gross proceeds of approximately $250,000 (the
"Private Placement"
). The Company
expects to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement towards advancing the Fenn-Gib gold project in Ontario
(
"Fenn-Gib"
or the
"Project"
).
Nick Campbell, CEO of Mayfair Gold, stated, "
Kevin has exactly the kind of experience that will prove invaluable to
Mayfair as we advance Fenn-Gib Gold Project into construction and production. He joins us from his most recent role
as CFO, North America for Barrick Mining Corporation. Kevin held a variety of roles within Barrick, including site CFO
for the Hemlo operations. Establishing proper systems and cost controls in advance of the start of construction is
imperative to ensure proper cost management during the build phase and during operations. Kevin's experience in
operations in Ontario make him uniquely qualified to work with our operating team to put these systems in place. We
are very excited to have Kevin join us to unlock the full potential of Fenn-Gib.
"
Kevin Annett, incoming CFO for Mayfair Gold, stated, "
I'm excited to join Mayfair at an important inflection point. Fenn-
Gib is a high-quality asset with significant optionality, and the opportunity now is to translate that potential into tangible
per share value through disciplined execution. I look forward to working closely with the Board and management team
to deliver on Fenn-Gib's value proposition.
"
The Private Placement will result in the Company issuing to Mr. Annett 58,000 shares (the "Shares") of Mayfair at a price
of $4.38 per Share, representing the closing price for Mayfair on the TSX Venture Exchange (
"TSX-V"
) on April 6, 2026.
The Private Placement is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of all required regulatory
approvals, including acceptance of the TSX-V. The Shares will be subject to a 4-month and one day "hold period" as
prescribed by applicable securities laws.
Grants and Security Based Compensation
Mayfair also announces that 250,000 options to purchase an equivalent number of common shares of the Company were
granted to Kevin Annett. The 250,000 options were granted, effective April 7, 2026 at a strike price of $4.38 with a five-
year expiry. These options will vest over the following period:
One-third (1/3) of the options shall vest and become exercisable if the executive is actively employed with the
Company on April 7, 2027
1/36 of the options shall vest and become exercisable on each calendar month starting on May 7, 2027 for twenty-
four (24) months thereafter for each subsequent month that the executive remains actively employed with the
Company.
Neither the
TSX Venture Exchange
nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of
the
TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release.
