Fairmont Begins Summer Field Work Program at Marmion South

08.08.2012  |  Marketwire
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Aug. 8, 2012) - Fairmont Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FMR) ("Fairmont" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has begun a reconnaissance prospecting and soil sampling program on its Marmion South Property (the "Property"), located near Atikokan, Ontario, and contiguous with Osisko Mining Corporation's (TSX VENTURE:OSK) "Osisko" Hammond Reef Property. The work program will test several key northeast trending structures with in the Marmion Batholith identified during the 2011 airborne geophysical survey (See Press Release March 6th2012) in preparation for a drill program to be conducted later this fall.

The northeast-trending structures identified by the 2011 geophysical survey correlate favourably with trends observed in Osisko's Hammond Reef property to the north. Osisko's Hammond Reef deposit (530.6M tons at an average grade of 0.62 g/t gold for 10.5 million ounces and based on a cut off of 0.30 g/t gold*) is related to the northeast-trending Marmion Shear; numerous historic gold occurrences in the Marmion Batholith are associated with similar parallel northeast structures.

*43-101 compliant global inferred resource (see Osisko press release Nov. 7 2011).

Of particular interest during this program is the southwest extension of the northeast-trending Jack Lake-Pettigrew Shear. The high-grade, granite-hosted Jack Lake gold deposit, located 1 kilometer north of the Property, was discovered in 1878, saw limited production from 1899-1902, and currently hosts a historical, non 43-101 compliant resource of 8,910 tons grading 15.53 g/t for 4,000 ounces.


About Marmion South Property:

Fairmont has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Marmion South Property, which consists of 8,208 hectares and is located in the prolific Marmion Batholith gold district near Atikokan, Ontario. The Marmion South Property is also located south of and is contiguous with Osisko Mining Corporation's (TSX VENTURE:OSK) Hammond Reef Property which contains a National Instrument 43-101-compliant global inferred resource of 530.6M tons at an average grade of 0.62 g/t gold for 10.5 million ounces and based on a cut off of 0.30 g/t gold. Osisko's technical report on this resource can be viewed on SEDAR.
