Additionally, the Corporation wishes to announce successful percussion drilling results to the North -West in
Chimney 1 where work have extended silver mineralization at 2006, 2015 and 2022 Elevations. The
mineralization in the sector is characterized by presence of sulfides like Sphalerite, Pyrite, Chalcopyrite and
Galena as well as disseminated native silver associated with the sericite and chlorite alteration. The following
figure present the drill layout of Chimney 1 with color coded silver grades (teneur).

Uncut Ag results. Length are drill length, true widths are believed to be 75% of the length intersections. Other
results have been received from laboratory, once compiled and validated they will be disclosed.
"The positive incoming results from surface diamond drill hole and underground percussion holes should assist
in the development of the update mineral resources at Zgounder" said Claude Duplessis, P. Eng. & independent
QP of Maya Gold & Silver.
Quality Control / Quality Assurance (QA/QC)
The results include blanks and standards as normal control procedures at the mine. The mine laboratory has
also carried out duplicates to confirm rep eatability of results. The results are considered to be reliable for
disclosure. The samples were analyzed by at the independent laboratory Analyse Development Minier S.A.R.L.
The core sample are crushed to have d80 passing 2mm and afterward riffle split to have 100grams which is
pulverized to have a pulp d80 of 75 microns Multi acid digestion and Atomic Absorption reading. Fire assay is
used for high grade silver samp le. Intersected disclosure are variable according to the Cut Off Grade applied
for large scale mining or selective mining scenario and will be finalized in the mineral resource update study.
