DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Mayfair Gold Corp. was incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on July 30, 2019. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 700 - 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6E 3T5. The Company’s principal place of business is 489 MacDougall Street, Matheson, ON, Canada, P0K 1N0. The Company is listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “MFG.V,” on the OTCQX under the symbol “MFGCF” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “9M5”. The Company is engaged in the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company acquired an undivided 100% interest in the Fenn-Gib Project on June 8, 2020.

The Fenn-Gib Project comprises 6 leases on mining lands, 18 patents on mining lands, 144 cell claims and 3 surface rights only patents located in the Guibord, Munro, Michaud and McCool Townships in northeast Ontario, Canada. The Company is focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing mineral deposits in Canada.

SHAREHOLDER PROXY CONTEST

On March 19, 2024, Muddy Waters Capital LLC, on behalf of certain investment funds managed by it, with control and direction over aggregate shares approximating 16.77% of the Company, announced its intent to reconstitute the board of directors at the next annual general and special meeting of the Company (the “Shareholder Proxy Contest”).

During the year ended December 31, 2024, as a result of the Shareholder Proxy Contest, the Company incurred $3.3 million in non-recurring costs. These costs include a $1.5 million cash payment to Patrick Evans, former CEO of the Company and $1.6 million in additional legal and related fees, of which $1.0 million was for the reimbursement of certain legal expenses incurred by other parties to the proxy contest, and $0.2 million in additional corporate insurance premiums. In December 2024, the Company filed a claim against Patrick Evans for reimbursement of the $1.5 million cash payment. The outcome of this lawsuit is not determinable as at the MD&A Date.

FENN-GIB PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Fenn-Gib Project comprises two property packages, referred to as the Fenn-Gib North and South Blocks, which are separated by approximately three kilometers. The Fenn-Gib Deposit (see “Fenn-Gib Deposit” below) is located on the North Block along the regional Contact Fault, an east-west to south-east trending shear zone on the Pipestone Fault, which is interpreted to be a splay off the Porcupine-Destro Fault. The Fenn-Gib Deposit hosts significant concentrations of gold mineralization within two zones: (i) the Main Zone, and (ii) the Deformation Zone. These two zones overlap completely. A third zone of mineralization, known as the Footwall Zone, is located approximately 100 meters to the northwest of the Fenn-Gib Deposit. A fourth zone of mineralization, known as the Contact Zone, is located at depth below the current pit-constrained resource.

Sixteen claims encompass the current conceptual pit supported by the Fenn-Gib Deposit. The Company would be subject to a 1% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) over the sixteen claims, with an additional 1.5% NSR over nine of the sixteen claims.

All mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions, as required under NI 43-101. Ounce (troy) = metric tonnes x grade / 31.10348. All numbers have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate.

The mineral resources reported demonstrate a reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction, as required under NI 43-101. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. It is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration. There are no known environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, and other relevant issues that would materially affect the reported mineral resources.

Exploration Program

A 2021 exploration program focused on both infill and step-out drilling, which was intended to identify additional gold mineralization within the Fenn-Gib Deposit area. The Fenn-Gib Phase 1 drill program commenced on January 19, 2021, with one drill rig and ramped up to four drill rigs by mid-July 2021. The 2021 program completed the planned 50,000 meters of drilling by December 31, 2021.

Based on positive results from the Fenn-Gib 2021 Phase 1 drill program, a 30,000-meter Phase 2 drill program continued in 2022. In addition, a 10,000-meter Phase 1 regional exploration program commenced on the Fenn-Gib North and South Blocks. The Fenn-Gib Phase 2 program and Phase 1 regional exploration drill program, comprised of North Block (7,512 meters) and South Block (3,486 meters), were completed in the third quarter of 2022. Based upon assay results from the Fenn-Gib Phase 1 and 2 drill programs received by the end of July 2022, an updated interim resource estimate was completed and announced on October 18, 2022, as described above.

With mineralization at the Fenn-Gib Deposit area remaining open in most directions, a 30,000-meter Phase 3 drill program commenced in the second half of 2022 to continue delineating mineralization. A Phase 2 regional exploration program commenced on the Fenn-Gib North Block. The Fenn-Gib Phase 3 drill program was completed in January 2023. The Company commenced a 30,000-meter Fenn-Gib Phase 4 drill program in the first quarter of 2023, which was completed in the third quarter of 2023.

As drilling continued to identify new mineralization at the Fenn-Gib Deposit, the Company commenced a 20,000-meter Phase 5 drill program in the third quarter of 2023. Drilling for this campaign completed in the fourth quarter of 2023, which reinforced the need for additional drilling. The Company commenced a 26,500-meter Phase 6 drill program at the Fenn-Gib Project in the first quarter of 2024, which was completed in the second quarter of 2024. As of the MD&A Date, the Company has completed a total of 379 surface drill holes on the Fenn-Gib Project, representing 200,489 meters.

Metallurgical Test Program

Fenn-Gib has been the subject of multiple metallurgical testing campaigns since 2011. Test work has focused on gold recovery and has included gravity concentration, whole-ore cyanide leaching, flotation, flotation-cyanidation, flotation-pressure oxidation, rock hardness and material characterization studies.

In late 2024, metallurgical testing commenced with the intention of improving the understanding of the mineralization response to potential plant flow sheets with the testing of grind size, rougher flotation and concentrate mass pull, flotation concentrate regrind sizing and cyanidation response for various plant feed gold grades, sulphide concentration, mineralogical content, rock hardness, at various depths, and lithologies. This phase of metallurgical testing is complete. Refer to the news release dated May 27, 2025 “Mayfair Provides Update on 2025 Metallurgical Test Results Supporting the Fenn-Gib Pre-feasibility Study”. In summary the optimum process flowsheet comprises of 3-stage crushing, ball mill grinding to an 80% passing 106 -micron, sulphide-gold rougher flotation, a concentrate regrind to 80% passing 9 to 14 microns, for gold extraction applying carbon-in-leach (CIL) cyanidation. Testing results demonstrate excellent gold recovery in rougher flotation concentrate across all flotation feed grades, achieving between 94-97% recover of gold to the concentrate. After rougher concentrate regrind and cyanidation, the more than 50 composite metallurgical samples indicated an overall metallurgical gold recovery of approximately 82.5% at a feed grade of 0.8 g/t and 88.4% at 1.5 g/t gold. With this phase of metallurgical testing along with the past work, we have improved confidence going into the PFS and have defined metallurgical performance for the 4,800 tonne per day plant targeting a feed grade of 1.2 g/t to 1.7 g/t gold for the first six years of production.

Pre-Feasibility Study

During Q1 2024, the Company announced the commencement of a pre-feasibility study on the Fenn-Gib project. In connection with the study, the Company utilized the services of AGP Mining Consultants, Halyard Inc, Terracon Geotechnique and Environmental Applications Group as lead engineers and scientists to further the metallurgical, geotechnical, mining, hydrogeology, and environmental evaluations completed to date, to develop a clearly defined project description in support of a potential environmental assessment.

In April 2025, the Company announced a revised program for its pre-feasibility study, noting that additional metallurgical test work will continue into the first half of 2025 and will be used to advance the engineering and inform the revised 4,800 t/d pre-feasibility study. The Company expects to complete the pre-feasibility study in Q4 2025.

Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024

Loss for the period decreased to $2,113,058 compared to $5,711,375 in the prior year comparable period. The primary drivers of this decrease were as follows:

 

  •  

Exploration and evaluation decreased to $1,363,012 from $2,002,166 in the prior year comparable period due to the completion of various exploratory drill programs, which were ongoing in the prior year comparable period, and a focus towards the completion of studies and the permitting process in the current period.

 

  •  

General and administrative decreased to $604,914 from $3,776,436 in the prior year comparable period mainly due to a payment to the former CEO as well as legal fees related to the Shareholder Proxy Contest in the prior period.

 

  •  

Share-based payments decreased to $189,251 from $236,871 in the prior year comparable period mainly due to the immediate vesting of options granted to an officer of the Company in the prior period.

Partially offsetting the decrease in loss for the period were decreases to other income as follows:

 

  •  

Amortization of flow-through premium liability was $241,052 in the prior year comparable period due to flow-through eligible expenditures spent in the prior year comparable period. There were no flow-through eligible expenditures in the current period due to the flow-through premium becoming fully amortized in the prior year.

 

  •  

Interest income decreased to $51,493 from $80,215 in the prior year comparable period primarily due to lower interest rates compared to the primary period.

YTD 2025 compared to YTD 2024

Loss for the period decreased to $3,928,691 compared to $9,021,188 in the prior year comparable period. The primary drivers of this decrease were as follows:

 

  •  

Exploration and evaluation decreased to $2,563,234 from $5,688,551 in the prior year comparable period due to the completion of various exploratory drill programs, which were ongoing in the prior period, and a focus towards the completion of studies and the permitting process in the current period.

 

  •  

General and administrative decreased to $1,026,346 from $4,377,777 in the prior year comparable period mainly due to a payment to the former CEO as well as legal fees related to the Shareholder Proxy Contest in the prior period.

Partially offsetting the decrease in loss for the period were decreases to other income as follows:

 

  •  

Amortization of flow-through premium liability was $1,279,110 in the prior year comparable period due to flow-through eligible expenditures spent in the prior year comparable period. There were no flow-through eligible expenditures in the current period due to the flow-through premium becoming fully amortized in the prior year.

 

  •  

Interest income decreased to $100,892 from $218,741 in the prior year comparable period primarily due to decreases in both average cash balances and interest rates compared to the prior period.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

 

  •  

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

  •  

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

 

  •  

Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment, other receivables (excluding sales tax recoverable), deposits and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are classified as and measured at amortized cost. The carrying values approximate the fair value of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature.

The Company is exposed to certain financial risks by its financial instruments. The risk exposures and their impact on the Company’s financial statements are summarized below.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk relates primarily to cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment and deposits. The Company minimizes its credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment by placing these financial instruments with major financial institutions. The Company considers the credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment and deposits to be minimal.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The objective of interest risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimizing returns. The Company has no significant financial instruments with variable interest rates and has assessed interest rate risk as minimal.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due. To mitigate this risk, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to determine the funds required to support its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company endeavors to ensure that sufficient funds are raised from equity offerings to meet its operating requirements, after taking into account existing cash and expected exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in business accounts and are available on demand for the Company’s programs. As at June 30, 2025, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balance of $5,913,937 (December 31, 2024 - $9,534,129) to settle current liabilities of $694,637 (December 31, 2024 - $749,934) and has assessed the liquidity risk as minimal.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk from fluctuations in the US dollar to the Canadian dollar on its cash and accounts payable balances.

A summary of the Company’s financial instruments held in USD, expressed in Canadian dollars is as follows:

 

     June 30,
2025
     December 31,
2024
 
     $      $  

Cash and cash equivalents

     5,918        78,627  

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

     48,259        34,664  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
     (42,341 )       43,963  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

A 10% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Canadian dollar would change the Company’s profit or loss by approximately $4,234 (December 31, 2024 - $4,396). The Company has assessed foreign currency risk as minimal.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Historically, the Company has been dependent on external financing to fund its activities. The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it for changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets, being mineral properties.

In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through equity offerings or sell assets to fund operations. Management reviews the Company’s capital management approach on a regular basis. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of financial statements under IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements in applying its accounting policies and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the period end date and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Such judgements and estimates are, by their nature, uncertain. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

The impact of such judgements and estimates are pervasive throughout these financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. These judgements and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and are accounted for prospectively.

All significant accounting judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty are fully disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

For a detailed listing of the risks and uncertainties faced by the Company, please refer to the Company’s MD&A for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
