“Zgounder Hits Historic Production Milestone in Q3: Aya Gold & Silver Shatters Records”

Aya Gold & Silver Reports Stellar Q3 Performance at Zgounder Silver Mine

In an impressive display of growth and operational efficiency, Aya Gold & Silver (AYA.TO) has announced record-breaking third-quarter production figures for its Zgounder Silver Mine located in the picturesque Kingdom of Morocco. The company, which saw its stock price surge over 4% on Tuesday, has set a new benchmark with production reaching an astounding 1.35 million ounces of silver, marking a robust 29% increase over the previous quarter.

This surge in output highlights several key operational enhancements that the team at Aya Gold & Silver has implemented. Not only did ore processing average an impressive 3,326 tonnes per day, but this figure represents an 11% improvement since Q2 2025, and is running a remarkable 23% above nameplate capacity. Such figures underscore the ongoing dedication to operational excellence and productivity within the company.

The report indicates that the average head grade for silver stood at 146 grams per tonne, complemented by a stellar recovery rate averaging 92.5%. This success is attributed to optimized blending and circuit performance, which has surpassed expectations established during earlier feasibility studies. “Our quarter-over-quarter gains highlight the strength of our team and the benefits of disciplined execution,” stated Aya Gold & Silver’s President and CEO, Benoit La Salle. His remarks reflect the company’s commitment to operational discipline, as it maintained mill availability at a notable 96%.

Looking ahead, Aya Gold & Silver remains optimistic, with plans to build on this successful quarter to ensure a solid finish for the year. The strategic focus on operational optimization positions the company well for sustained growth well into 2026.

As global demand for silver continues to rise, Aya Gold & Silver is not just participating in the market but is setting new standards for excellence in the mining industry. With the Kingdom of Morocco recognized for its rich mineral deposits and supportive mining policies, Aya Gold & Silver stands at the forefront of fostering economic growth in the region.

For investors and industry observers alike, Aya Gold & Silver’s latest performance signals a promising trajectory. Keep an eye on this forward-looking company as it navigates the dynamic landscape of silver production!
