DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mayfair Gold Corp. (“ Mayfair” or the “Company”)
(TSX-V: MFG ) is pleased to announce that a fourth drill rig has been contracted to commence regional exploration at the
North Block of the Fenn-Gib project. The fourth drill rig is expected to arrive at site by mid-June and commence drilling before
the end of the month.
Mayfair Gold President and CEO Patrick Evans noted: “The recently completed high-resolution MAG survey identified high-
priority drill targets to the east of the current Fenn-Gib deposit. These targets are sufficiently compelling to warrant drill testing
ahead of the G101 Target located approx. 1 km to the southwest of the Fenn-Gib deposit, where the best historical drill
intersection returned 4.45 grams per tonne gold over 13.2m.”
The Company’s primary focus remains infill and expansion drilling at the Fenn-Gib deposit, where three drill rigs are active and
more than 15,000 meters (m) of drilling has been completed in 20 drill holes as part of the fully-funded 50,000m Phase 1 drill
program. This program is designed to identify additional mineralization within the current conceptual open pit; to upgrade
Inferred resources to Indicated resources; and to continue testing the high-grade Footwall Zone immediately to the north of the
Fenn-Gib deposit.
Mayfair is also pleased to announce that a field crew is being mobilized next week to complete a comprehensive surface
exploration program at the North Block that will target new potential gold-bearing areas generated from the interpretation of the
high-resolution MAG survey. The initial focus will be the Horseshoe Zone, located approx. 500m to the northwest of the Fenn-
Gib deposit within the Pipestone Fault mineralized corridor. The Horseshoe Zone was discovered in 2012 when nine
representative grab samples collected from isolated outcrops returned up to 1.27 g/t gold.
Based on Mayfair’s success to date, steps have been taken to secure a fifth drill rig for regional exploration on the Fenn-Gib
South Block. Both the fourth and fifth drill rigs are helicopter portable, which will facilitate speedy access to areas that do not
currently have road access.
