Aya Gold & Silver Inc. has intersected high-grade silver mineralization in its ongoing exploration drilling at the Zgounder Silver Mine in the Kingdom of Morocco, returning up to 3,501 grams per tonne silver over 3.5 metres in the central zone.

Hole DZG-SF-26-945 returned the 3,501 g/t silver intercept from 16.0 metres to 19.5 metres, including a higher-grade section of 7,717 g/t silver over 1.5 metres. In the open-pit area, hole ZG-RC-24-155 intercepted 783 g/t silver over 13.0 metres, while hole ZG-RC-24-354 returned 501 g/t silver over 11.0 metres, including 4,000 g/t silver over 1.0 metre. Additional results from the central area included hole T28-26-1334, which intersected 4,770 g/t silver over 2.4 metres.

Aya has completed 16,217 metres of drilling so far this year, representing 54.1% of its planned 2026 exploration program. The company operates the Zgounder mine to produce silver doré from its processing facility and maintains an ongoing focus on expanding its resource base and land package along the Anti-Atlas fault.

“Today’s high-grade results, highlighted by DZG-SF-26-945, continue to reinforce the strength and continuity of silver mineralization both around the open pit and across the central zone,” said Benoit La Salle, President & CEO. “At the same time, development of the exploration drift at the 1,825-metre level is progressing well, setting the stage for drilling west of the fault to begin in Q4 and providing an important new opportunity to expand the mineralized footprint.”

The upcoming underground work schedule includes the start of drilling west of the fault at Zgounder in the fourth quarter of 2026, supported by the ongoing advancement of the 1,825-metre level exploration drift.
