Aya Gold & Silver Reports High-Grade Silver Exploration Results Near Pit and at Depth at Zgounder
Aya Gold & Silver reported high-grade silver drill results from its at-depth exploration program at the Zgounder Silver Mine in Morocco, headlined by 3,501 g/t silver over 3.5 metres — including 7,717 g/t over 1.5 metres — and 4,770 g/t over 2.4 metres. Near-pit surface holes also returned strong grades, including 783 g/t silver over 13.0 metres and 501 g/t over 11.0 metres. The release covers results from 97 holes, with 16,217 metres or 54.1% of the 2026 exploration program drilled year to date. CEO Benoit La Salle said the results reinforce the strength and continuity of mineralization around the open pit and across the central zone.
