Aya Gold & Silver Reports High-Grade Drill Results at Boumadine, Extends Tizi Zone to 2.2km and Identifies New Regional Targets | The Manila Times

MONTREAL, April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA; OTCQX: AYASF) ("Aya” or the "Corporation”) is pleased to announce new high-grade drill exploration results from its 2024 - 2025 program at Boumadine in the Kingdom of Morocco. Today's results extend the Tizi mineralized trend by 200 meters, confirming high-grade continuity along the Boumadine Main Trend and revealing new mineralized structures within the Boumadine regional permits.

Highlights¹

High-Grade Intercepts on the Boumadine Main Trend:
- BOU-DD24-440 intercepted 334 grams per tonne ("g/t”) silver equivalent ("AgEq”) over 16.8 meters ("m”) (1.39 g/t gold ("Au”), 98 g/t silver ("Ag”), 3.2% zinc ("Zn”), 1.8% lead ("Pb”) and 0.02% copper ("Cu”) including 4.1m at 476 g/t AgEq and 293 g/t AgEq over 17.8m (0.55 g/t Au, 74 g/t Ag, 5.3% Zn, 1.5% Pb and 0.1% Cu) including 4.1m at 649 g/t AgEq
- BOU-DD24-450 intercepted 349 g/t AgEq over 10.6m (3.76 g/t Au, 35 g/t Ag, 0.1% Zn, 0.1% Pb and 0.2% Cu) including 6.6m at 512 g/t AgEq
Silver Rich East-West Veins:
- BOU-DD24-392 intercepted 1,123 g/t Ag and 5.32% Pb over 1.7m
- BOU-MP24-015 intercepted 774 g/t Ag over 1.2m
Extension of Tizi Strike Length to 2.2 Kilometers ("km”):
- BOU-MP24-010 intercepted 371 g/t AgEq over 1.0m (4.01 g/t Au, 20 g/t Ag, 0.9% Zn, 0.6% Pb and 0.03% Cu) and 208 g/t AgEq over 2.0m (0.91 g/t Au, 44 g/t Ag, 2.5% Zn, 1.0% Pb and 0.1% Cu)
Identification of Several Regional Targets from Mapping and Grab Sampling:
- Identification of multiple new targets including five regional targets over 20 km of potential strike, which will be tested in the coming months.
- Cu values from grab sample up to 34.5%
- Ag values from grabs up to 210 g/t

1. All intersections are in core lengths. Ag equivalent is based on a silver price of US$24/oz with a process recovery of 89%, a gold price of US$2,200/oz with a process recovery of 85%, a zinc price of US$1.20/lb with a process recovery of 72%, a lead price of US$1.00/lb with a process recovery of 85%, and a copper price of US$4.00/lb with a process recovery of 75% resulting in the following ratios: 1g/t Au: 77.9 g/t Ag; 1% Cu: 85.4 g/t Ag; 1% Pb: 24.2 g/t Ag; and 1% Zn: 24.6 g/t Ag.

"We are excited about today's high-grade drill results, particularly BOU-DD24-440 and BOU-DD24-450, which confirm the continuity of the Boumadine Main Zone. The northern extension of the Tizi Zone further highlights the strong resource growth potential," said Benoit La Salle, President & CEO. "Additionally, positive mapping and grab sampling results have identified several promising drill targets to the south as well as to the east, reinforcing Boumadine's exceptional district-scale potential. We have identified over 20km of potential strike and look forward to advancing these targets in the coming months."
