Mayfair Gold Reports 121.0m at 1.32 g/t Gold from Fenn-Gib Eastern Step-Out
Drill Program
• Mineralization outside and to the east of the current pit-constrained 2.08M ounce Indicated resource
• North Block regional drill program commences testing Talisman and Horseshoe Zones
• South Block regional program progresses with line cutting and induced polarization geophysics in preparation
for drill program
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 23, 2022 -- Mayfair Gold Corp. (“ Mayfair” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: MFG; OTC:
MFGCF) is pleased to announce further results from the Fenn-Gib step-out drill program to the east of the current resource.
The Fenn-Gib deposit, located in the Timmins region of Northeast Ontario, hosts a NI 43-101 pit-constrained Indicated
Resource of 2.08M ounces (see the “About Mayfair” section below) with disseminated gold mineralization striking east-west on
the Pipestone Fault over 1.25 kilometers (km) and up to 300 meters (m) wide at the west end.
Mayfair Gold President and CEO Patrick Evans commented: “Our step-out drill program to the east of the current Fenn-Gib
deposit continues to return outstanding results. Previous operators focused on the high-grade starter pit area at the west of the
Fenn-Gib deposit. Only limited drilling was done to define the continuity of mineralization on strike to the east of the deposit.
Based on results to date, we expect the eastern extension has the potential to add significant tonnage to the current
resource.”
Highlights include:
1. FG21-172 intersected 0.50 g/t gold (Au) over 109.3m, including 0.99 g/t Au over 25.9m;
2. FG21-182 intersected 1.54 g/t Au over 22.0m and 0.53 g/t Au over 79.4m ;
3. FG21-187 intersected 2.82 g/t Au over 22.9m;
4. FG21-197 intersected 0.85 g/t Au over 53.0m and 2.25 g/t Au over 33.0m ;
5. FG21-200 intersected 1.32 g/t Au over 121.0m and 31.28 g/t Au over 1.5m.
The above results support the significant gold mineralization in previously reported step-out drill results, including drill hole
FG21-168 which intersected 1.02 g/t Au over 143.7m . FG21-168 was drilled below hole FG-12-27 which intersected 0.78 g/t
Au over 56.4m and hole FG-17-128 which intersected 1.04 g/t Au over 40.7m (news release September 13, 2021).
Results from the latest step-out drilling are summarized below in Table 1 and drill collar information is provided in Table 2.
Regional Exploration Program
Mayfair Gold is also pleased to report that the drill program has commenced at the Talisman and Horseshoe Zones as part of
the Fenn-Gib North Block regional exploration program. The Talisman Zone is located approximately 350m west of the Fenn-
Gib deposit, and the Horseshoe Zone is located approximately 500m northwest of the Fenn-Gib deposit.
The South Block regional exploration program commenced in January with line-cutting at between 50-and 100-meter line
spacings across the full 7-km strike along the Destor-Porcupine Fault. Line cutting will be at 50-meter spacings in priority
target areas identified from the airborne magnetic survey and structural analyses. An Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical
survey is progressing to identify drill targets in preparation for the maiden 3,000m drill program expected to commence in Q3
2022. The Destor-Porcupine fault and its splays are host to McEwen Mining’s producing Black Fox gold mine, located
approximately 7 km to the north-west of the South Block and Moneta Gold’s reported multimillion-ounce gold resource on the
Tower Gold Project shares a common property boundary to the east of the South Block.

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.
