Mayfair Gold’s Fenn-Gib Project Maintains Carbon Neutrality for 2022
22 Junho 2023 - 1:51PM
Mayfair Gold Corp. (“
Mayfair” or the
“
Company”) (
TSX-V: MFG; OTCQB:
MFGCF) is pleased to announce that the Fenn-Gib Project
(“Fenn-Gib”), Canada’s first carbon neutral gold project, has
purchased carbon offsets to account for emissions from Company-wide
activities during 2022, the Company’s second year of operations.
Mayfair’s 100% controlled Fenn-Gib Project, located in the
Timmins region of Northeast Ontario, hosts a NI 43-101 open-pit
constrained Indicated mineral resource estimate of 3.38 million
ounces (Moz) gold (Au) at a grade of 0.93 grams per tonne (g/t) Au
and an Inferred mineral resource of 0.16Moz Au at 0.85 g/t Au (see
the “About Mayfair” section below). The near-surface Fenn-Gib gold
mineralization is broadly disseminated striking east-west on the
Pipestone Fault over more than 1.5 kilometers (km) and is over 500
meters (m) wide at the west end.
Mayfair Gold President and CEO Patrick Evans
commented: “Gold is Canada’s most valuable mined commodity, valued
in excess of $12 billion annually. The industry is a significant
driver of economic activity across Canada, directly employing
approximately 400,000 Canadians and offering the highest average
annual industrial rate of pay in the country. The future of the
industry depends critically upon sustainable development. At
Fenn-Gib, we are laying the foundation for Canada’s first carbon
neutral gold mine. Our commitment started on January 1, 2021, when
Mayfair acquired Fenn-Gib, and will continue through our
exploration program, mine development, operations, and eventual
closure.”
An independent assessment of the Company’s
activities, conducted by Toronto-based Carbonzero, determined
Mayfair Gold’s Scope 1, 2, and material Scope 3 GHG emissions to be
688 tonnes of CO2-equivalent. These emissions related principally
to exploration activities at Fenn-Gib, where a total of 64,838m was
drilled in 116 holes.
To compensate for these emissions, Mayfair has
purchased carbon offsets from Carbonzero to support the Canada-wide
Thermal Residential Heating Aggregation Project, with the offsets
being retired on the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Clean
CleanProjects® Registry. The project, which is verified under
ISO-14064-2, replaces conventional residential fossil fuel
combustion heating with solar heating systems located at private
residences across Canada. The carbon offset project was
specifically selected to directly benefit a broad range of
Canadians.

and an Inferred Resource of 5.72M tonnes containing 0.16M ounces at
a grade of 0.85 g/t Au at a 0.40 g/t Au cut-off grade (Source: Tim
Maunula, P. Geo., of T. Maunula & Associates Consulting Inc.,
who is deemed a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101). The
Fenn-Gib deposit has a strike length of over 1.5km with widths
ranging over 500m. The gold mineralized zones remain open at depth

metallurgical tests confirm that the Fen-Gib deposit can deliver
robust gold recoveries of up to 94%.
