“Zgounder continued to deliver exceptional step-out drill results that extend the strike east and offer potential to grow the resource beyond its current resource envelope. With the Algold acquisition closed, we have opportunistically broadened our portfolio of near-production development assets,” added Benoit La Salle, President and CEO.
Aya Gold & Silver is a Canada-based silver producer with operations in the Kingdom of Morocco. The only TSX-listed pure silver mining company, Aya operates the high-grade Zgounder silver mine and is exploring its properties along the prospective South-Atlas Fault, several of which have hosted past producing mines and historical resources.
