Maya Intersects 186 g/t Ag Over 38m at Surface Including 2.419 Kg/t Ag Over 2m at Zgounder.

Maya Gold & Silver Inc. (“Maya” or the “Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE:MYA) is pleased to announce positive diamond drill hole results from its Zgounder silver mine exploration program.

Highlights

22 holes have been drilled to date for a total of 5,373 metres

Hole ZG-17-9 intersected 186 g/t Ag over 38m from 1.5 to 39.5m including 2,419g/t Ag over 2m at 25m

Hole ZG-17-11 intersected 345/t Ag over 22m from 86 to 108m including 816 g/t Ag over 5.5m at 92m; 1.24Kg/t over 1m at 102m; 236g/t Ag over 3m at 307.5m; and 963 g/t Ag over 1.3m at 335m.

Hole ZG-17-10 intersected 126 g/t Ag over 99m from 0 to 99m including 177 g/t Ag over 55.5m from 43.5 to 99m, including 373g/t Ag over 8m at 71m (previously disclosed in press releases dated August 15th 2017 and September 6th 2017)

Silver grades are uncut, core length disclosed, true thickness (1) is variable and estimated to be 40% to 70% of core length.

“The northern sector continues to deliver good results, with very impressive results from holes 9, 10, 11 and 3 and present mineralization near and at surface. Since these results are similar to the Eastern sector reported on September 6th2017, a scenario for a long-term larger mine operation is being considered, while maintaining the development of the high grade operations. These positive intervals extend the mineralization at depth, 240 meters below the main 2000 level”, said Noureddine Mokaddem, President and CEO of Maya Gold & Silver.

(1)The hole ZG-17-9 was drilled to the north and the hole ZG-17-10 was drilled to the south, increasing the knowledge of the mineralization in the northern sector near surface. Both holes drilled from the same set-up and their jointed intersections with the sub vertical mineralized zones now present a horizontal thickness of 68 m at 143 g/t Ag (length weighted) for a vertical depth from surface of 82m.

In the same sector Hole ZG-17-11 intersected mineralization of the north zone and extend panel 9 and thereafter Corps B to 1,740m Z elevation. It also shows the displacement of the mineralized zones to the north by flat faults.

The following table presents additional information on intersections of interest. The map below shows drill holes location and the position of the intersections of interest. The cross sections on the map resent the diamond drill holes on profile A-A’ and profile B-B’ (images below). The intersections of ZG-17-10 were restated as part of the statement of the horizontal width defined by the two holes 9 and 10 drilled in opposite directions and providing true horizontal width of the mineralized zone.

Quality Control / Quality Assurance (QA/QC)

The samples were analyzed by at the independent laboratory Analyse Development Minier S.A.R.L. The core samples are crushed to have d80 passing 2mm and afterward riffle split to have 100 grams which is pulverized to have a pulp d80 of 75 microns Multi acid digestion and Atomic Absortion reading. Fire assay is used for high-grade silver sample. The standards and blanks are in line with expected results and allow public disclosure of the results.
