Mr. Benoit La Salle reports:
MONTREAL, May 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA; OTCQX: AYASF) (โAyaโ or the โCorporationโ) is pleased to announce new high-grade drill exploration results from its 2024 program of 120,000 meters (โmโ) at Boumadine in the Kingdom of Morocco. Todayโs results extend the main mineralized trend by 800m and continues to demonstrate continuity of the Boumadine Main Zone, which remains open in all directions. The Corporation also reports it has secured the right to 7 additional exploration permits, expanding the Boumadine exploration footprint to over 198 square kilometers (โkm2โ).
Key Highlights1
Extension of Boumadine strike length to 5 kilometers (โkmโ):
BOU-DD23-265 intersected 1,355 grams per tonne (โg/tโ) silver equivalent (โAgEqโ) over 3.1 m (16.25 g/t gold (โAuโ), 86 g/t silver (โAgโ), 0.1% zinc (โZnโ), 0.1% lead (โPbโ) and 0.1% copper (โCuโ) and 442 g/t AgEq over 8.0m (4.51 g/t Au, 58 g/t Ag, 0.3% Zn, 0.2% Pb and 0.2% Cu)
BOU-DD24-292 intersected 354 g/t AgEq over 2.9m (4.06 g/t Au, 27 g/t Ag, 0.4% Zn, 0.1% Pb and 0.03% Cu)
BOU-DD24-284 intersected 1,317 g/t AgEq over 1.9m (15.70 g/t Au, 91 g/t Ag, 0.05% Zn, 0.1% Pb and 0.2% Cu)
Extension of the Tizi strike length to 1.6km:
BOU-DD24-310 intersected 445 g/t AgEq over 13.7m (4.90 g/t Au, 42 g/t Ag, 0.3% Zn, 0.4% Pb and 0.1% Cu), including 1.6m at 1,988 g/t AgEq and 1.5m at 813 g/t AgEq
BOU-DD24-306 intersected 1,021 g/t AgEq over 3.0m (11.48 g/t Au, 89 g/t Ag, 0.8% Zn, 0.2% Pb and 0.2% Cu) including 1.5m at 1,755 g/t AgEq
New style of mineralization with very high silver grade:
BOU-DD24-310 intersected 7,820 g/t Ag over 1.0m
Secured 7 new exploration permits totaling 56.9 kmยฒ at Boumadine (Figure 1)
โTodayโs high-grade drill results including BOU-DD23-265 in the north of the Main Trend extend the Boumadine footprint to 5km, and BOU-DD23-310 at Tizi confirms the potential to increase the resource,โ said Benoit La Salle, President & CEO. โWe are excited to expand our presence further at Boumadine through the strategic addition of 7 new permits, as part of our ongoing strategy to grow our land package and underscoring our confidence in the region's mineral potential. With an area of almost 200km2 in what we consider to be a generational asset and a potential district, we are in position to deliver value for all stakeholders.โ

Maya Gold & Silver: Operations Started at Zgounder Silver Mine
Maya Gold & Silver Inc. ("Maya" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:MYA) The Board of Directors and Management of the Corporation are very pleased to announce the milling operations have started at Maya's flagship Zgounder Silver
Mine in Morocco.
Ore grading an average of 245 g/t Ag is now being processed. The ore being run through the mill is being sourced from the 35,000 tonnes of mineralized rocks that were transferred to storage areas adjoining the plant from the existing 66,000 tonnes of "ancient stockpiles". The size of this stockpile can sustain
over six months of production at the initial rate of approximately 200 tpd.
Silver recovery is expected to be in the range of 92%. The Company is not basing its production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability.
"The mill start-up at Zgounder is a significant key milestone in the successful development of Maya as an operating resource company, and we recognize and thank
our President, Noureddine Mokaddem, and the local and Moroccan Government offices who have just provided the Company with a very precious tool in a difficult period of the mining industry: a stable and upwardly potential cash flow stream", stated Guy Goulet, Chief Executive Officer.
