Mayfair Mining & Minerals, Inc. Appoints a Highly Qualified Gemstone Marketing
Advisory Board Member

NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Mayfair Mining & Minerals, Inc.
(Pink Sheets:MFMM) (Frankfurt:M1M) is today pleased to announce the appointment
of Mr. Clinton Burhouse, BSc to the Advisory Board of the Company.

Mr. Burhouse attained his degree in Special Geology at the University of London,
Imperial College, Royal School of Mines. He commenced his business career
selling minerals, fossils and gemstones whilst at the Royal School of Mines in
the late sixties. On qualifying, he worked briefly for RTZ in their UK division
-- RIOFINEX whilst continuing to develop his own business in mineral and
gemstone marketing. He then expanded his business in full time gemstone dealing
and was increasingly successful. In his early twenties he was importing,
cutting, polishing and exporting over 300 tons of semi-precious stones a year.
In 1970, he established Burhouse Limited and developed the marketing of
worldwide sourced mineral materials via mass production of low cost gemstones
together with metal stampings and wire formings for the simple assembly of
jewellery. Currently, Burhouse Limited has fifty employees and the company is an
extremely successful gemstone warehousing, distribution and retailing operation.
He holds the position of CEO of Burhouse Limited and is a resident of the United
Kingdom.

Notable achievements in his lengthy career include the development of the Linear
Acceleration colouring of Topaz gemstones at Harwell, the birthplace of the UK
nuclear industry. He established business partnerships in the premier gemstone
dealing centre of Germany, Idar-Oberstein, to increase his purchasing and
distribution capabilities. He was previously the long term UK agent for the
total Zambian production of rough amethyst through Northern Minerals/Crystals
SA, a Lonrho subsidiary. Over the past ten years he developed and marketed a
range of gifts utilising the Connemara Marble deposit at Recess, County Galway,
Ireland. Mr Burhouse was also instrumental in the development of the potential
of Quartz pegmatites in Portugal and Spain over a 10 year period. He produced 30
million pieces of a series of 200 gemstone and mineral designs for the
educational magazine "Treasures of the Earth". He setup the production of wire
forming of basic jewellery components as a main client for English, American and
Indian companies. He has served as the Vice-Chairman of the Jewellery
Distributors Association and was formally a member of the Coloured Stone
Dealers' Committee.

We plan to use Mr. Burhouse's expertise to advise and assist on the quality and
value analysis of the Company's amethyst gemstone production; marketing research
through his German and Chinese business partners with warehousing capabilities
and marketing expertise in Hong Kong; anticipated introductions to other major
gemstone dealers in Hong Kong who may be seeking long term distribution
agreements with producing gemstone mining companies such as Mayfair and
introductions to additional gemstone dealers in South Africa.

Clive de Larrabeiti, CEO and President of Mayfair Mining stated: "I am very
pleased with our continued progress in building the team to augment our efforts
in mining, producing and marketing our gemstone production, which we anticipate
will increase exponentially over the coming year. I am extremely pleased that we
continue to attract individuals involved in the gemstone industry of the calibre
of Mr. Burhouse, which should assist us in our efforts to become one of the
premier gemstone producing companies in the Southern African Development
Community. This is expected to allow me the time to further develop our business
plan and strategy of operations, in Zambia, Madagascar and elsewhere in the
region."

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Clive de Larrabeiti
CEO & President
