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.
