PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAYA GOLD & SILVER ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND
CORPORATE UPDATE
Montreal, Québec – May 28 th , 2020 – Maya Gold & Silver Inc. (“Maya” or the “Co mpany”) (TSX:
MYA) is pleased to announce that for the current year, it has changed its format for the upcoming annual
meeting of shareholders ("AGM") to be held on Frida y, June 19, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) to
an online virtual only meeting. Under this format, shareholders may not physically attend the meeting
in person but are welcome to attend and participate in the meeting online via live audio webcast.
This change of format is in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic and more particularly in regards
to the restrictions on mass gatherings implemented by the Government of Quebec. The decision to
move to a virtual-only meeting reflects our commitm ent to protecting the health and safety of our
shareholders, directors, employees, and other stakeholders and our desire to seek the largest possible
participation by our international shareholder base . In fact, the Company strongly urges shareholders
to register and vote in advance of the meeting.
General Instructions of the meeting
The timing and process for voting by proxy remains as described in the proxy materials, and
shareholders may still vote in advance of the meeti ng by submitting their proxy form or voting
information form as described in the proxy materials.
The virtual meeting will be conducted via live audi o webcast. Registered shareholders and duly
appointed proxyholders will be permitted to attend the virtual meeting, ask questions and vote, all in
real time, provided they are connected to the inter net and have logged in at
https://web.lumiagm.com/237917800 .
Participants must be connected to the internet at a ll times to be able to vote. The Company invites
Shareholders to read the “Virtual AGM User Guide” attached to the Management Proxy Circular and to

Corporate Update
With significant changes in management and directio n of the Company’s new leadership team, the
Company continues to review and examine all of its assets. The Company no longer considers material
any asset other than its Zgounder Silver Mine and c onsiders all studies regarding non-material assets
to no longer be current. The Company will therefore not update any information on any asset other than
its Zgounder Silver Mine.
With all these developments, all participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of Maya's
Chairman, CEO and executive team at the AGM webcast.
