Mayfair Gold Validates Fenn-Gib Reserve Model with Grade Control Drilling
Event summary
- Mayfair Gold completed a grade control drilling program at its Fenn-Gib Project, validating ~1.0M tonnes of probable mineral reserves (25% of Phase 1).
- The program confirmed the reserve model's accuracy, with 2% more contained metal at 0.8 g/t Au cut-off and 28% more tonnes at 7% higher grade above 3.0 g/t Au.
- Results suggest potential to bring forward higher-grade production, de-risking early cash flows and aiding project financing discussions.
The big picture
Mayfair Gold's successful grade control drilling program reinforces the reliability of its mineral reserve model, a critical step for advancing the Fenn-Gib Project towards production. The results come as the company prepares for permitting and detailed engineering, targeting construction start in 2028. The validation of higher-grade material supports the project's scalability and aligns with broader industry trends of de-risking early-stage gold developments to attract financing.
