Aya Gold & Silver Announces High-Grade, At-Depth Drill Results at Zgounder
MONTREAL, Jan. 31, 2024 - Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA) (OTCQX: AYASF) ("Aya" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce high-grade silver drill results from its at-depth drill program at the Zgounder Silver Mine in the Kingdom of Morocco.
Key Highlights (all intersections are in core lengths)
- From surface, diamond drill hole ("DDH") ZG-23-54 intercepted 1,846 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver ("Ag") over 7.0 meters ("m"), including 5.0m at 2,095 g/t Ag; and ZG-23-35 intercepted 683 g/t Ag over 15.0m, including 6.0m at 1,221 g/t Ag
- In the Central Zone from the 1,950m level:
- hole ZG-SF-23-055 intercepted 672 g/t Ag over 7.5m near the granite contact
- hole DZG-SF-23-292 intercepted 2,430 g/t Ag over 4.5m, including 4,174 g/t Ag over 2.5m
- hole ZG-SF-23-038 intercepted 675 g/t Ag over 14.0m, including 951 g/t Ag over 7.0m
- hole TD28-23-1950-752 intercepted 858 g/t Ag over 12.0m, including 1,905 g/t Ag over 4.8m
- In the Central Zone from the 1,925m level:
- hole ZG-SF-23-056 intercepted 391 g/t Ag over 11.5m near the granite contact
- hole ZG-SF-23-056 intercepted 391 g/t Ag over 11.5m near the granite contact
- In the Central Zone from the 2,100m level:
- hole YAKD-23-2100-202 intercepted 1,005 g/t Ag over 30.0m, including 2,354 g/t Ag over 12.0m
"Today's results including holes ZG-23-54 and DZG-SF-23-292 further validate the very high-grade nature of Zgounder, while holes ZG-SF-23-055 and ZG-SF-23-056 confirm mineralization near the granite contact," said Benoit La Salle, President & CEO. "Importantly, these initial results outline significant down-plunge extensions of the deposit and continue to return thick, high-grade intercepts. Four underground rigs are now mobilized with the objective of expanding mineral resources at depth."
Included in this release are results for 249 holes, which include 114 underground DDH, 35 surface DDH, 61 T28 and 39 YAK holes (T28 and YAK: percussion drilling using an air-compressed hammer). For a full summary of today's results, refer to Appendix 1.

| 2 All assay results are above the cut-off grade of 75 g/t Ag. |
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 ("Afrilab") in Marrakech, Morocco. All samples are analyzed for silver, copper, iron, lead, and zinc using Aqua regia and finished by atomic absorption spectroscopy ("AAS"). Samples grading above 200 g/t Ag are reanalyzed using fire assaying.
For definition drilling using T28 drilling equipment, all individual samples represent 1.2m in length. Samples are assayed at either the Zgounder Mine laboratory or at Afrilab. 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 using fire assaying. At ZMSM, all samples are analyzed for silver only using Aqua regia and finished by AAS. Rigorous quality controls (QaQc) are applied at both locations.

Aya Gold & Silver Inc. is a rapidly growing, Canada-based silver producer with operations in the Kingdom of Morocco.
The only TSX-listed pure silver mining company, Aya operates the high-grade Zgounder Silver Mine and is exploring its properties along the prospective South-Atlas Fault, several of which have hosted past-producing mines and historical resources. Aya's Moroccan mining assets are complemented by its Tijirit Gold Project in Mauritania, which is being advanced to feasibility.
Aya's management team has been focused on maximising shareholder value by anchoring sustainability at the heart of its operations, governance, and financial growth plans.

This press release contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws ("forward-looking statements"), which reflects management's expectations regarding Aya's future growth and business prospects (including the timing and development of new deposits and the success of exploration activities) and other opportunities. Wherever possible, words such as "validate", "confirm", "significant", "continue", "objective", "expand", , and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", "will", or are "likely" to be taken, occur or be achieved, have been used to identify such forward-looking information. Specific forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements and information with respect to the exploration and development potential of Zgounder in particular the nature of the deposit as it hits the granite and the continuation of down-plunge extensions, the conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources into Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and future opportunities for enhancing development at Zgounder including the possible expansion of the mineral resource at depth. Although the forward-looking information contained in this press release reflect management's current beliefs based upon information currently available to management and based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, Aya cannot be certain that actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking information. Such forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions, opinions and analysis made by management in light of its experience, current conditions, and its expectations of future developments that management believe to be reasonable and relevant but that may prove to be incorrect. These assumptions include, among other things, the ability to obtain any requisite governmental approvals, obtaining regulatory permits for on site work, importing goods and machinery and employment permits, the accuracy of Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates (including, but not limited to, ore tonnage and ore grade estimates), the price of silver, the price of gold, exchange rates, fuel and energy costs, future economic conditions, anticipated future estimates of free cash flow, and courses of action. Aya cautions you not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements.
The risks and uncertainties that may affect forward-looking statements include, among others: the inherent risks involved in exploration and development of mineral properties, including government approvals and permitting, changes in economic conditions, changes in the worldwide price of silver gold and other key inputs, changes in mine plans (including, but not limited to, throughput and recoveries being affected by metallurgical characteristics) and other factors, such as project execution delays, many of which are beyond the control of Aya, as well as other risks and uncertainties which are more fully described in Aya's 2022 Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2023, and in other filings of Aya with securities and regulatory authorities which are available on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca. Aya does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements should assumptions related to these plans, estimates, projections, beliefs, and opinions change.
