Aya Gold & Silver (TSX: AYA) this morning delivered fresh infill results from its Boumadine polymetallic project in Morocco. The results extend the high-grade signature along the 5.4 kilometre Main Trend.
The standout, hole BOU-DD25-745, returned 890 g/t silver equivalent over 51.5 metres, the company’s strongest intercept to date on a grade-thickness basis, sitting roughly 70 metres below the current resource pit shell. That position matters. It points to a parallel mineralized structure with the potential to push both the resource and the eventual open-pit deeper than the existing model contemplates.
Headline assay intercepts include:
- BOU-DD25-745: 890 g/t silver equivalent (2.05 g/t gold, 535 g/t silver, 3.8% zinc, 5.9% lead) over 51.5 metres
- Including 1,504 g/t silver equivalent (2.17 g/t gold, 1,032 g/t silver, 5.3% zinc, 9.8% lead) over 19.3 metres
- BOU-DD25-746: 665 g/t silver equivalent (1.63 g/t gold, 410 g/t silver, 2.8% zinc, 3.4% lead) over 20.4 metres
- Including 1,276 g/t silver equivalent (3.98 g/t gold, 695 g/t silver, 6.1% zinc and 7.2% lead) over 5.3 metres
- BOU-DD26-790: 746 g/t silver equivalent (0.62 g/t gold, 586 g/t silver, 1.9% zinc and 3.7% lead) over 14.9 metres
- Including 1,227 g/t silver equivalent (1.05 g/t gold, 971g/t silver, 1.9% zinc and 3.7% lead) over 6.5 metres
- BOU-DD26-786: 511 g/t silver equivalent (0.61 g/t gold, 399 g/t silver, 1.4% zinc, and 1.0% lead) over 9.4 metres
- Including 1,928 g/t silver equivalent (1.54 g/t gold, 1,708g/t silver, 2.5% zinc and 1.7% lead) over 1.8 metres
- BOU-DD26-792: 462 g/t silver equivalent (0.79 g/t gold, 237 g/t silver, 3.0% zinc and 4.5% lead) over 8.1 metres
- Including 1,036 g/t silver equivalent (1.50 g/t gold, 563g/t silver, 5.2% zinc and 10.4% lead) over 2.2 metres
The latest results come from the Main Trend, and are said to confirm the high-grade nature of the zone. Aya has turned over 69,209 metres at Boumadine so far this year and is roughly 20% of the way through a planned 360,000-metre infill and expansion campaign covering 2026 and 2027. Eleven rigs are currently active on site.
Chief executive Benoit La Salle framed the results as setup for the next catalyst, which consists of an updated preliminary economic assessment expected around mid-year, which would build on the 2025 PEA that underwrites the current infill push. A feasibility study sits further out on the timeline.
Beyond the Main Trend, the company plans follow up drilling on the 2.0 km Tizi zone, the 1.2 km Imariren zone, and an 8 km Asirem trend later this year, with roughly 20,000 metres of the 2026 budget earmarked for greenfield testing.
Aya Gold & Silver last traded at $22.63 on the TSX.
