Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA; OTCQX: AYASF) is pleased to announce additional high-grade silver drill results from its at-depth drill exploration program at the Zgounder Silver Mine in the Kingdom of Morocco.

Highlights

(all intersections are in core lengths)

• Intersections in the open-pit area:
  • Hole ZG-RC-25-478 intercepted 677 grams per tonne silver over 15.0 metres, including 2,138 g/t Ag over 3.0m
  • Hole DZG-SF-25-715 intercepted 1,972 g/t Ag over 3.2m
  • Hole ZG-RC-25-462 intercepted 502 g/t Ag over 11.0m
• Intersections at Depth Near the Western Fault contact:
  • Hole ZG-SF-25-336 intercepted 2,718 g/t Ag over 1.3m
• Intersections in the Central Area:
  • Hole T28-25-904 intercepted 1,631 g/t Ag over 7.2m, including 3,100 g/t Ag over 3.6m
  • Hole T28-25-942 intercepted 1,947 g/t Ag over 6.0m, including 2,359 g/t Ag over 4.8m
  • Hole T28-25-894 intercepted 1,339 g/t Ag over 6.0m
• Exploration Update:
  • 21,314m or 85% of the 2025 exploration program has been drilled year to date.

“Today’s high-grade results once again confirm the strong continuity of silver mineralization both at depth and around the open-pit area,” said Benoit La Salle, President & CEO. “Moreover, the new intersection at depth near the Western Fault contact in hole ZG-SF-25-336 extends mineralization further west, continuing to push the limits of our current resource model.”

This release contains results from 169 holes, which include 54 underground diamond drill holes, five surface DDH, 48 reverse circulation drill hole (“RC”), 40 T28 and 22 YAK holes (T28 and YAK: percussion drilling using an air-compressed hammer). For a full summary of today’s results, refer to Appendix 1.

Quality Assurance

For core drilling, all individual samples represent approximately one meter in length of core, which is halved. Half of the core is kept on site for reference, and its counterpart is sent for preparation and assaying to African Laboratory for Mining and Environment in Marrakech, Morocco or to ALS Laboratory at the Zgounder Mine site. All samples are analyzed for silver, copper, iron, lead, and zinc using Aqua regia and finished by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Samples grading above 200 g/t Ag are reanalyzed by fire assay.

For definition drilling using RC, all individual samples represent 1.0m in length and for T28 drilling equipment, all individual samples represent 1.2m in length. Samples are assayed at either the ALS Mine laboratory or at Afrilab. All samples are analyzed for silver, copper, iron, lead, and zinc using Aqua regia and finished by AAS. Samples grading above 200 g/t Ag are reanalyzed by fire assay. Rigorous quality controls (QaQc) are applied at both locations.
