Mayfair Gold Corp. (NYSE American: MINE, TSXV: MFG) filed a Notice of Project Status (NPS) for the Fenn‑Gib gold project in Northern Ontario during Q1 2026, formally indicating its intent to advance the project toward production and awaiting guidance from Ontario’s Ministry of Energy and Mines【1】.

| Project status | NPS filed, awaiting MEM feedback |
| Environmental work | Baseline study integration completed; EA mandate awarded to Egis Canada |
| Engineering progress | FEED launched with Ausenco for a 4,800 tpd plant |
| Timeline target | Construction decision aimed for 2028 |
The company completed the integration of multi‑year environmental baseline studies—covering fish habitat, hydrology, geochemistry, wildlife and vegetation—into technical packages to support Ontario’s “One Project, One Process” framework and upcoming Environmental Assessment (EA) submissions【1】. In Q1 2026, Mayfair also awarded the EA and permitting mandate to Egis Canada Ltd., tasking the firm with preparing the provincial EA, regulatory submissions, and Indigenous engagement【1】.
Mayfair commenced Front‑End Engineering and Design (FEED) with Ausenco Engineering for a 4,800 tonnes‑per‑day processing facility, focusing on comminution circuit and flotation layout refinements【1】. Parallel site‑investigation activities resumed, including geotechnical drilling for the tailings storage facility, pump‑testing of groundwater conditions, and condemnation drilling to delineate infrastructure zones【1】. The company also received the full assay dataset from its 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate confirmation program, enabling the geology team to develop an updated localized model for future mine planning【1】.
Mayfair’s NPS filing marks a formal transition from exploration to development, but the pace of regulatory approvals and engineering deliverables will determine whether the 2028 construction target remains realistic.

The program was designed to validate mineralization distribution, refine ore‑shape assumptions, and confirm the accuracy of the probable reserve estimate.
It identified 28% more tonnes at a 7% higher grade compared to the previous reserve model.
Construction is targeted for 2028 with initial production expected in 2030.
Drew Anwyll was appointed chief executive officer, succeeding Nick Campbell.
The project hosts a 4.3 million‑ounce indicated gold resource.
