Mayfair Gold Drills 226.0m at 0.92 g/t Gold at Fenn-Gib Expansion Zone
• Including 26.0m at 1.56 g/t Gold
• Mineralization outside current pit-constrained Indicated 2.08M ounce Resource
• Four drill rigs active at Fenn-Gib North Block
• 37,971 completed in 55 holes

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mayfair Gold Corp. (“ Mayfair” or the “Company”)
(TSX-V: MFG; OTCQB: MFGCF; FRA:9M5 ) is pleased to announce further drill results from the Fenn-Gib Expansion Zone.
The Fenn-Gib deposit, located in the Timmins region of Northeast Ontario, hosts a pit-constrained Indicated Resource of
2.08M ounces with disseminated gold mineralization striking east-west on the Pipestone Fault over 1.25 kilometers and up to
300 meters (m) wide at the west end.
The Fenn-Gib Expansion Zone lies below the shallow central section of the current conceptual open pit. The drill results
reported below are part of the fully-funded, ongoing 50,000m Phase 1 drill program at the Fenn-Gib project. Resource infill and
expansion drilling is being supported by four drill rigs, and 55 holes have been completed to date for a total of 37,971m.
Mayfair Gold President and CEO Patrick Evans commented: “Our 2021 drill campaign is delivering excellent results. We
continue to hit gold mineralization in every hole we’ve drilled. The steady stream of very good results from the central
Expansion Zone boosts our confidence that we’ll be able to upgrade the Fenn-Gib gold deposit to plus 3 million ounces.”
Numerous historic drill holes in the upper Fenn-Gib deposit did not drill through the entire mineralized stratigraphy, with some
holes ending in mineralization. The infill and expansion drill program within and below the current conceptual open pit is
designed to identify additional mineralization in support of our target to grow the Fenn-Gib deposit to more than 3 million
ounces.
Drill Results
The Fenn-Gib Expansion Zone drilling is supported by two of the four drill rigs and is targeting the shallow central section
below the current conceptual open pit. Highlights of the newly reported mineralized intervals include:
1. FG21-151 intersected 0.82 g/t Au over 181.7m, including 1.50 g/t Au over 32.5m;
2. FG21-154 intersected 0.71 g/t Au over 135.5m including 1.43 g/t over 33.0m ;
3. FG21-157 intersected 0.70 g/t Au over 167.8m including 3.02 g/t Au over 10.0m ; and
4. FG21-163 intersected 0.92 g/t Au over 226.0m including 1.56 g/t over 26.0m.
The latest drill results continue to intersect significant gold mineralization building on the previously reported Expansion Zone
results, including FG21-148 which intersected 101.0m at a grade of 0.88 g/t Au including 51.7m at a grade of 1.16 g/t Au,
hole FG21-149 intersected 101.9m at a grade of 0.75 g/t Au including 18.0m at a grade of 1.77 g/t Au, hole FG21-150
intersected 65.5m at a grade of 1.18 g/t Au including 10.0m at a grade of 4.24 g/t Au (news release July 27, 2021), and
hole FG21-153 intersected 233.0m at a grade of 1.05 g/t Au including 84.0m at a grade of 1.83 g/t Au and 25.5m at a
grade of 4.70 g/t Au (news release August 17, 2021).
The latest drill results from the central Expansion Zone are summarized in Table 1 below. Additional results will be released as
they are received.

In addition to the 100%-controlled Fenn-Gib North Block, Mayfair Gold also controls 100% of the highly prospective Fenn-Gib
South Block, located approx. 3 kilometers to the south of the North Block. The 14.72 km 2 South Block straddles the gold-
bearing Porcupine-Destor fault over a strike of approx. 6 kilometers. Current and past producing gold mines, including the
Ross Mine, the Black Fox Mine and the Gray Fox deposit, are located on strike to the northwest of the South Block. Gold
deposits and past producing mines are also located on strike to the east of the South Block.
Without road access, the South Block has seen only limited exploration dating back to the mid-1980s, when Homestake
Mining conducted scout drilling across the area, intersecting gold in most of their drill holes. Mayfair’s recently completed high
-resolution airborne MAG survey included coverage of the entire South Block. Based on the results of that survey, as well as
past drilling, Mayfair is currently designing an exploration program for the South Block that will be managed separately from
the 50,000m North Block drill program. Details of the South Block exploration program will be announced in the near future.
QA/QC Controls
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, and the samples were transported by
Mayfair personnel to the Actlabs laboratory in Timmins, Ontario. Gold was analyzed by 30-gram fire assay with AA-finish.
Certified reference material (CRM) standards and coarse blank material are inserted every 20 samples. Drill intercepts cited do
not necessarily represent true widths, unless otherwise noted.
