Fairmont Begins Drilling on Marmion South Property

Fairmont Resources Inc. (TSX-V: FMR / WKN: A1H5YV) is pleased to announce that it has begun drilling on the Marmion South property, located east of Atikokan (Ontario) and contiguous with Osisko Mining Corp.´s Hammond Reef property. Drilling is expected to continue through to the end of March with assay results in late April.

The program is focused on the historic Olcott occurrence, located in the southern portion of the property, which has returned up to 5.41 g/t gold over 6.16 metres and 1.85 g/t over gold 19.20 metres in historic drilling during the 1980s and 1990s. The greenstone-hosted Olcott gold occurrence is located on an east-west-trending structure parallel to the regional Quetico fault. This occurrence has been the focus of historical trenching and limited drill programs in the 1980s and 1990s and is a classic quartz vein/shear-hosted gold system.

Planning is also underway for an extensive spring/summer prospecting, mapping and soil sampling program to ground truth several key northeast trends and anomalies within the Marmion batholith in the central and northern part of the property identified by the 2011 airborne geophysical survey (see press release March 6th 2012). Osisko´s Hammond Reef deposit is controlled by the northeast-trending Marmion shear; numerous historic gold occurrences in the Marmion batholith are associated with similar northeast structures.
