Maya Gold & Silver Inc. announced that its drilling program has started at Boumaadine and its first verification hole has intersected polymetallic sulfide mineralization. The first hole of the program drilled by Maya at Boumaadine has intersected two mineralized zones, the first at 193m and the second at 234.8m, both very close to the scheduled target depth planned by GoldMinds Geoservices Inc. in its model projection. The 3.2m core length intersection from 234.8m to 238m shows a massive pyrite over a meter from 234.4m to 235.9m surrounded by galena, sphalerite and minor chalcopyrite. The core is being logged and sampled with a half core sample being sent to an independent laboratory. Assay results should be made available within the next three weeks. The hole B_17_03 (the programed label) drilled in 2018 is drilled HQ core size and set-up is at 317344E, 3476673N, 1131mZ with an azimuth of 234 degrees North with a dip of -47. The true thickness of the zone is believed to represent 80% of the core length. B_17_03 intersects the main central zone at 48m below the lower level of 1,000m under historical hole VI-22 which intersect 0.85 g/t Au, 23.96 g/t Ag, 3.17% Zn, 0.29% Pb, 0.01% Cu & 64.14 g/t Sn over 2.65m (true width) and 35m North East of historical hole BM-28 which intersected 2 g/t Au, 25 g/t Ag, 1.61% Zn, 0.63% Pb over 3.9m core length (79% true width).
