VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mayfair Gold Corp. (“Mayfair” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: MFG) is pleased to announce the appointment of Douglas Cater to the Board of Directors.
Mr. Cater is a professional geologist who has worked extensively across Canada and internationally for more than 35 years, with a particular focus on the Timmins gold camp. He has held positions with both senior and intermediate gold producers, including Barrick, Placer Dome and Kinross. His most recent executive position was Vice President, Exploration (Canada) with Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. Mr. Cater is also a director of Sierra Metals Inc. and Harte Gold Corp. and a Technical Adviser to Prosper Gold Corp.
In welcoming Mr. Cater, Mayfair President and CEO Patrick Evans noted: “Doug’s exceptional experience as a gold geologist and his strong governance experience add to the strength of Mayfair’s diverse Board. His guidance and support will be enormously valuable as we continue to develop our flagship Fenn-Gib gold project.”
Mr. Cater commented: “I’m very pleased to join the Mayfair Gold team. Fenn-Gib is a project I’ve followed for many years, and I look forward to having the opportunity to support Mayfair’s management as they continue advancing exploration at this very prospective asset in the Timmins gold camp. I’m particularly excited about the regional exploration potential at Fenn-Gib beyond the current resource. Fenn-Gib’s South Block on the prolific Destor-Porcupine fault is essentially unexplored and particularly promising.”
