Aya Gold & Silver (TSXV: AYA) is reporting this morning that it has identified a new parallel structure at their Boumadine project in Morocco. The new discovery is said to have opened further exploration potential at the project, while supporting the potential for further resource growth.
The new structure is found 500 metres to the east from the Main Trend, with the structure said to have significant massive sulfide content. The zone was said to be intersected at depth, 750 metres below surface, with follow up drilling required. Highlights from the results include:
- BOU-DD25-707: 115 g/t silver equivalent (1.15 g/t gold, 18 g/t silver, 0.1% copper) over 2.5 metres from a depth of 845.5 metres
- And 331 g/t silver equivalent (3.68 g/t gold, 27 g/t silver, 0.1% zinc, 0.1% lead, 0.2% copper) over 0.8 metres from a depth of 854.9 metres
High grade intercepts were also released for drilling conducted at the Boumadine Main Trend. Highlights from those results include:
- BOU-DD25-728: 255 g/t silver equivalent (1.55 g/t gold, 83 g/t silver, 1.7% zinc, 0.5% lead, 0.1% copper) over 11.9 metres from a depth of 210.0 metres
- BOU-DD-25-734: 446 g/t silver equivalent (2.72 g/t gold, 144 g/t silver, 3.3% zinc, 0.2% lead, 0.3% copper) over 6.0 metres from a depth of 92.1 metres
- BOU-DD25-742: 166 g/t silver equivalent (1.34 g/t gold, 25 g/t silver, 1.2% zinc, 0.5% lead) over 17.1 metres from a depth of 287.6 metres
- Including 301 g/t silver equivalent (2.80 g/t gold, 35 g/t silver, 1.8% zinc, 0.3% lead) over 3.5 metres
- BOU-MP25-092: 296 g/t silver equivalent (0.6 g/t gold, 113 g/t silver, 4.6% zinc, 2.1% lead) over 9.5 metres from a depth of 370.5 metres
“These results — including a new southern parallel structure and mineralization more than 500 metres from any known zone — reinforce that the resource potential continues to grow. With ten rigs active, we’re fast-tracking development and the 2026–2027 infill program, with two more rigs expected in March,” commented Benoit La Salle, CEO of Aya.
To date a total of 81 drill holes have been completed under the ongoing drill program across an aggregate 28,904 metres. Drilling is said to be ongoing at Boumadine for the next 24 months, with a total of 360,000 metres planned. Drilling is to largely focus on the Main Trend, Imariren, and Tizi to extend known mineralization along strike and to depth.
