Maya Continues to Intersect Mineralization At Boumaadine 

MONTREAL - Maya Gold & Silver Inc. reported that its drilling program at Boumaadine(1) continues to deliver positive results as all the verification holes, to date have intersected polymetallic sulfide mineralization.

The holes are drilled in Ignimbrite and Andesite. These rocks are intruded by hydrothermal breccia, veinlets, veins, disseminated and massive sulfides. The sulfides are mainly pyrite, sphalerite, galena and to a lesser level chalcopyrite.

The intersections are very close to the scheduled target depth planned by GoldMinds Geoservices Inc.'s model projection. The core is being logged and sampled with a half core sample being sent to an independent laboratory. Due to hazardous road conditions in the last months, the decision was made to postpone assaying and send the mineralized intersections in batches. Results will be disclosed once received, interpreted and validated.

"The drill holes at Boumaadine are encouraging as they intersect the mineralization. As previously stated, we will have to wait for the assay results to better evaluate our success. The severe weather conditions in the area with snow and heavy rains will have the benefit of filling the aquifers for agriculture as well as for exploration and processing purposes, "said Noureddine Mokaddem, President and CEO.
