Maya Gold & Silver Completes Consolidation

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb 27, 2018) - Maya Gold & Silver ("Maya" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:MYA) wishes to report that it has completed its previously announced plan to consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares") on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for every four pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation"). The Corporation received the requisite shareholders approval to proceed with the Consolidation at a special meeting of shareholders held on February 2, 2018.

Effective as of February 27, 2018, the 243,941,080 issued and outstanding Common Shares as at that date have been consolidated and the Corporation now has 60,985,270 issued and outstanding Common Shares. Outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants of the Corporation have also been adjusted by the equivalent consolidation ratio and the respective exercise prices adjusted accordingly. Trading of the Common Shares will commence on a consolidated basis on the TSX Venture Exchange on or about March 2, 2018.

Letters of transmittal have been sent to holders of Common Shares. All shareholders are required to send their share certificates representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares, along with a properly executed letter of transmittal, to the Corporation's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., in accordance with the instructions provided in the letter of transmittal. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, investment dealer, bank or trust company should contact that nominee or intermediary for assistance in depositing their Common Shares in connection with the Consolidation.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation; if, as a result of the Consolidation, a shareholder becomes entitled to a fractional share, such fractional shares equal or greater to one-half resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded to the next whole number. Otherwise, the fractional share will be cancelled.

Until surrendered, each share certificate formerly representing pre-consolidation Common Shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of post-consolidated Common Shares to which such holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
