Mayfair Gold files a Notice of Project Status for its Fenn‑Gib gold project, signaling intent to move toward production and prompting next‑step permitting

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 |

### Project and permitting milestones  
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】.  

### Engineering and site work  
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】.  

## What to watch  
- **Ontario Ministry feedback** – The timing and content of MEM’s response to the NPS will shape the next permitting steps.  
- **FEED milestones** – Completion of detailed engineering in the second half of 2026 will be a key indicator of progress toward the 2028 construction decision.  
- **Updated resource model** – Comparison of the forthcoming localized model against the 2025 Pre‑Feasibility Study will reveal any changes in grade distribution or mine economics.  

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.
