Maya Extends High-grade Silver Mineralization at Main, North Zones

Maya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSXV:MYA) released an update on diamond drilling at its Morocco-based Zgounder silver mine, commenting that it’s been able to extend high-grade silver mineralization to the east and to depth for the Main and North zones.
Drill highlights include:

Hole ZG-EXT-12 tested the eastern portion of the Northern Zone at depth. As reported on June 11th 2015, this hole intersected 1,098g/t Ag over 10-meters* on a pre-selected portion of the core. Additional analysis completed since that time has extended the length of the zone by 1.2 meters*.
Hole ZG-EXT-06 targeted the eastern portion of the Main Zone. Highlights are as follows:

• 348g/t Ag over 19m* (from surface to 19m) within an overall intersection of 228g/t Ag over 31.5m* (from surface to 31.5m)
• 946g/t Ag over 4m* (from 77m to 81m)
• 189g/t Ag over 3.5m* (from174m to 177,5m)
• 172g/t Ag over 5m* (from 200.5m to 205.5m)

Hole ZG-EXT-17, was designed to test the extension of the Main Zone at depth and intersected 283g/t Ag over 33.5-meters* (from 294m to 327.5m). Within this interval, a 20-meter section graded 431g/t Ag from 295.5m to 315.5m. Additional assays are pending from this hole.
Hole ZG-TEST-02, aimed to explore for disseminated mineralization in the Main and Central Zones, returned 259g/t Ag from 225m to 233.5m (8.5meters*) and 302 g/t Ag from 272.5 to 277.5m (5 meters*).
*Lengths are core lengths and additional work is required to determine true widths.

Noureddine Mokaddem, president of Maya, commented:

Hole ZG-EXT-06, drilled 150 meters east from the previously understood limits of the Main Zone has importantly extended the known mineralization. Also, the uppermost section of this same hole returned significant silver mineralization and we believe that this mineralized structure to be thicker in dimension than initially interpreted.
