09:09 AM EST, 01/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Aya Gold & Silver ( AYASF ) provided Tuesday additional "high-grade" silver drill results from its exploration program at the Zgounder silver mine in Morocco.

Results include 2,425 grams per tonne (g/t) silver over 17.0 meters in the Eastern zone, 321 g/t silver over 21.0 meters in the Central zone, and 1,071 g/t silver over 3.5 meters at depth near the granite contact.

Aya said it has drilled 34,809 meters of its 2024 exploration program for the year to date.

"The exceptional intercepts from these holes highlight the potential to significantly increase high-grade ounces within and near the open pit area, strengthening our confidence in expanding open-pit operations in the near term," said Benoit La Salle, Aya's president and CEO.

Aya's share price fell 4.3% on Monday to $10.68 on the TSX.
