Aya Gold & Silver Announces Record Q1-2025 Production Results

 

 

 

 

 

Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA) (OTCQX: AYASF) is pleased to announce production of 1.07 million ounces of silver for the first quarter of 2025 at its Zgounder Silver Mine, located in the Kingdom of Morocco.

 

“I am pleased to announce that we delivered a strong Q1-2025, producing over one million ounces of silver at Zgounder — just three months after declaring commercial production on December 29th, 2024,” said Benoit La Salle, President & CEO. “It was a record quarter, driven by strong production and silver sales averaging more than $32.00/oz. With mining rates steadily increasing in line with our plan, we are well positioned for a strong ramp-up and a solid second half of 2025.”

  • Silver production of 1.07M oz in Q1-2025 compared with 366,362 oz for the same period last year, representing a 192% increase.
  • Tonnes processed of 249,743 tonnes in Q1-2025 compared with 81,331t for the same period last year, representing a 207% increase.
  • Silver recovery of 82% in Q1-2025.

  • Mine production of 194,661t in Q1-2025 compared with 106,880t for the same period last year, representing an 82% increase.

 

“This strong early performance comes despite planned shutdowns and seasonal rainfall. It reflects increased mine and processing rates. The plant is currently operating at design capacity and above, with room for improvement,” said Raphaël Beaudoin, VP Operations. “This a testament to the strength of our team and the quality of our execution on the ground. Recovery and throughput are improving as we optimize and debottleneck various parts of the plant.”

 

Q1-2025 Operational Update

 

The first quarter of 2025 was marked by several milestones. The Corporation reached 2,163 tonnes per day mining rate and produced 1.07M oz of silver during the quarter. Mill capacity steadily improved and reagent dosages have been adjusted as the mill blend converges to a 2:1 in favor of the open pit. Aya expects to see recovery improvements throughout the year as plant operations are optimized and as more fresh rock is introduced into the plant.

 

January was the last month where silver concentrate was produced at Zgounder. All produced silver is now silver doré, increasing revenue per ounce produced by approximately 15% compared to concentrate.
