Aya Gold & Silver Pours First Silver at Expanded Zgounder Mine

 

 

 

 

 

Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA) (OTCQX: AYASF) is pleased to announce that it has completed the inaugural silver pour at its expanded Zgounder Silver Mine in the Kingdom of Morocco.

 

Highlights

  • On July 2, the first silver pour was achieved:
    • First silver bars were poured with silver cement from the existing cyanidation plant.
    • First pour was an important step for the ongoing hot commissioning of the foundry and retort sub system.
  • Commissioning activities are progressing to plan:
    • Low-speed testing of the ball mill is complete.
    • Hydrostatic tests have been performed on most water tanks, reactors and thickeners.
    • Preparation for wet commissioning is ongoing with some of the water circuit already tested.
    • Commissioning remains on schedule with ore feed to the mill expected in Q3-2024 and commercial production in Q4-2024.

 

“This pour marks another significant milestone in our expansion as we transition to full production by Q4-2024. Congratulations to the operations team at Zgounder for safely delivering this watershed moment,” said Benoit La Salle, President & CEO of Aya. “We are now focused on commissioning and ramping up the mill to nameplate capacity.”
