Maya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX-V:MYA) is pleased to announce positive diamond drill hole results from its Zgounder silver mine exploration program.
Highlights
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
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.
