Aya logs bonanza silver hits at Zgounder mine in Morocco

Aya Gold & Silver reported exceptional high‑grade drill results at its Zgounder silver mine in Morocco, including an underground intercept of 8 m grading 2,176 g/t Ag (with 4 m at 4,298 g/t) and multiple other bonanza hits. The results reinforce continuity of high‑grade mineralization and expand near‑pit and depth potential; Zgounder accounts for roughly 41% of Aya’s NAV. The mine produced 4.8 Moz silver last year and hosts proven and probable reserves of 15.7 Mt at 145 g/t (≈73.4 Moz contained). Scotia Capital flagged the significance, and Aya’s shares rose ~2.5% to C$29.36, reflecting positive market reaction to the exploration news.
