PPRESS  RELEASE  

Maya  Gold  &  Silver  Surface  Percussion  Drilling  Delivers  Interesting  Results  at  

Zgounder  Silver  Mine  

Extension  to  Surface  Confirmed  

Montréal,  Québec -­‐  December  4,  201 7  –  Maya  Gold  &  Silver  Inc.  (“Maya”  or  the  “Corporation”)  (TSXV:  

MYA)   is   pleased   to   provide   the   first   results   of   its   surface   percussion   drilling   program   to   drill   test   the  

extent  of  the  northern  silver  mineralization  at   the   surface.   The  program  announced  on  July  6,  2017  was  

delayed  due  to  the  prolonged  shortage  of  equipment  nee ded  for  this  surface  operation.    

Highlights:  

+  4  meters  at  469  g/t  Ag  within  18m  at  163  g/t  Ag  in  T28 -­‐17-­‐27,  including  1,032  g/t  Ag  on  1.2m  

+  8  meters  at  202  g/t  Ag  within   19  meters  at  136  g/t  Ag   in  T28-­‐17-­‐17,  including  670  g/t  Ag  on  1.2m  

*The  true  widths  of  the  drill  hole  intersections  is  90 -­‐95%  of  the  disclosed  interception  length.

“In  line  with  our  objective  of  publishing  an  updated  of  mineral  resources  and  PEA  by  the  end  of  the  year,  

the  cut-­‐off  date  for  the  last  analytical  results  of  this  surface  per cussion  drilling  program  has  been  fixed  to  

December   1st   2017.     The   other   analytical   results   will   be   integrated   in   2018.   This   continuous   drilling   at  

Zgounder   is   part   of   our   mine   development   strategy .   Surface   diamond   drilling,   underground   diamond  

drilling   as   well   as   surface   a   RC   drill   program   is   being   prepared   with   our   team   and   an   independent  

consultant””,  said  Noureddine  Mokaddem ,  President  and  CEO  of  Maya.  

Three  out  of  the  first  six  holes  intersected  silver  mineralization  of  interest  (above  50  g/t  Ag) .  Click  here  for  

the   table   that   presents  the   hole  parameters.  Hole  13  intersected  2,4m  at  55  g/t  Ag,  hole  14  intersected  

grades  in  the  15  g/t  Ag  range,  hole  25  intersected  9,4m  at   30  g/t  and  hole  26  intersect ed  6  m  at  20  g/t  Ag.

indicated  in  this  press  release.  

The   Corporation   is  pleased   with   these   first  results;   the   program   continues   to  extend   the   mineralization  

underground  in  order  to  allow   the  extension  near   the  surface  in  addition  to  the  existing  diamond  drill  hole  

program  and  underground  percussion  holes.    

This   additional   percussion   program   prepared   by   GoldMinds   ("GMG")   and   Zgounder   Millenium   Silver  

Mining   ("ZMSM")   technical   team   covers   260m   long   (E-­‐W)   and   100m   in   width  (N-­‐S).   It   is   located   in   the  

north  portion  of  the   TALAT  NOUNA   Talweg.  There  are  18  stations  with   three  up  dip  holes  per  station  with  

azimuth   ranging   N70   to   N350   for   54   holes   with   targeted   length   of   20   meters   for  an   expected   total   of  

1,080m.  

Click  here  for  the  tables  present ing  the  detailed  results  of  the  best   two  holes.  It  can  be  seen  that  a  second  

analysis  has  been  taken  and  show  the  repeatability  of  the  pulp  analysis.  These  results  are  provided  by  the  

Mine  laboratory  at  Zgounder.  

Quality  Assurance  /  Quality  Control  (QA/QC)    

These   results   are   produced   at   the   mine   laboratory   which   includes   of   blanks   and   standards   as   normal  

control   procedures.   External   independent   samples   will   be   taken   as   part   of   the   new   program   for   the  

mineral   resource   update   of   2017.   The   results   are   considered   to   be   reliable   for   disclosure   as   laboratory  

procedures  and  QA/QC  was  reviewed  in  previous  assignment.
