Mayfair Gold’s Timmins Advantage

VRIC Media Jun 23, 2026

Summary

Mayfair Gold argues its Fenn-Gibb project's location beside the Timmins mining camp gives it experienced regulators, labour and local support.

Skilled mining labour sits less than an hour away in Timmins, with additional workers available in Cochrane, Matheson and Kirkland Lake.

Highway access across the property and power within 17 kilometres reduce the practical cost of advancing Fenn-Gibb toward production.

CEO Drew Anwyll says Mayfair wants to work with neighbour McEwen so both adjacent operations can succeed.
