MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Sep 6, 2017) - 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. A total of thirty-two new intercepts in 9 holes are reported in this release.
Highlights
- 18 Holes have been drilled to date for 4214.8 metres (August 28th compilation)
- Hole ZG-17-03 intersected 233 g/t Ag over 36.5 from 25 to 61.5m including 1,184g/t Ag over 4.5m at 42.5m
- Hole ZG-17-10 intersected 177 g/t Ag over 55.5m from 43.5 to 99m including 373g/t Ag over 8m at 71m (partially disclosed in Press Release of August 15th)
- Hole ZG-EXT6-17-S2 intersected 152 g/t Ag over 19.5m from 27.5 to 47m including 406 g/t Ag over 3m at 38m
- Hole ZG-EXT6-17-S10 intersected 1,315 g/t Ag over 9m from 12 to 21m including 3.8Kg/t Ag at 13.5m (partially disclosed in Press Release of August 2nd)
- Silver grades are uncut, core length disclosed, true thickness is estimated to be 70% to 80% of core length.
The Hole ZG-17-03 extend mineralization at depth from known zones (panel 8 & 9) at higher elevation as well as hole ZG-17-10. These positive intervals are extending the mineralization at depth. The following tables present additional information on intersections of interest and the drillhole parameters. The map present drillholes location and the position of the intersections of interest.
"The Eastern sector has delivered good results and present mineralization at surface. The intervals intersected puts the table for a larger operation scenario in the longer term as well as maintaining the development of the high grade operation" said Noureddine Mokaddem, President & CEO of Maya Gold & Silver.

Quality Control / Quality Assurance (QA/QC)
The samples were analyzed by at the independent laboratory Analyse Development Minier S.A.R.L. The core sample are crushed to have d80 passing 2mm and afterward riffle split to have 100grams 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.
