(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 10/11/17 -- Maya Gold & Silver Inc. ("Maya" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: MYA) is pleased to announce that GoldMinds Geoservices Inc, its independent consultant, has completed the digitization of available historical technical data on the Boumaadine(1) property and will start on-site validation, including verification drilling of ancient tailings and fresh rock polymetallic mineralization.
Maya will be testing historical intersections in three historical resource sectors through a 2,924m diamond drilling program. The following figures present three longitudinal maps with typical historical intersections. True thicknesses are variable and are 50 to 85% of disclosed core length on the longitudinal. The Centre Zone, South Zone and Tizi Zone will be drilled under independent consultant supervision over the course of the month of November 2017.

The digitization of historical information has allowed the preparation of this fieldwork program, with independent sampling of the ancient dry tailings and the supervision of the verification diamond drill holes aimed at allowing the historical information to be used in the preparation of a NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource calculation.
"Boumaadine has a lot to offer to Maya and its shareholders and we are excited to bring forward the unaccounted value of this property. Historical intersection such as the underground core hole LT2 from 9m to 29m for 20m core length assaying 8.85 g/t Au, 517 g/t Ag, 2.19% Zn and 0.89% Pb and estimated to be 85% in true width is a real starting point target for our upcoming drilling campaign," said Noureddine Mokaddem, President and CEO of Maya.

About Boumaadine
The Boumaadine Agreement is a joint venture with L''Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines, referred to as ONHYM, whereby Maya is to acquire 85% of the Boumadine polymetallic deposit located in the Anti-Atlas Mountains of eastern Morocco. ONHYM has awarded Boumaadine to Maya after evaluating international tenders. The Boumaadine polymetallic deposit has historical estimate (1992) of 4,096,000t grading 3.8% Zn, 1.5% Pb, 200 g/t Ag (23.9M oz) and 3.50 g/t Au (418,000 oz) and has a great potential for resources expansion within the 32 square kilometers property.
Boumaadine Highlights
The Boumaadine polymetallic deposit is interpreted as low-intermediate sulphidation epithermal silver-gold base metal deposit, with the potential of discovering copper and gold porphyry-type mineralization at depth.
About ONHYM
ONHYM is a state-owned company responsible for the promotion of the mining and oil activities of the Kingdom of Morocco. Based on previous works at Boumaadine, ONHYM has estimated in 1992 historical estimates(i) of 3,837,970 t.
