"Importantly, new intersections near the Western Fault continue to support the significant exploration potential to the west, where development of the exploration drift at the 1825-metre level is advancing ahead of planned drilling west of the fault in the second half of the year.

Aya Gold & Silver Maintained at Buy at Stifel Canada After Boumadine Drill Results; Price Target Kept at C$39.00

Stifel Canada on Thursday maintained its buy rating on the shares of Aya Gold & Silver (AYA.TO) and its C$39.00 price target after the Moroccan miner released drilling results from its Boumadine project in the country."Boumadine continues to demonstrate improving scale and grade characteristics, with the strongest grade-thickness intercept drilled at the project to date occurring outside the current pit shell (51.5m @ 890g/t AgEq 70m below pitshell). Results support our view that i) we see upward pressure on PEA metrics expected mid-year (11yr LoM @ 328koz AuEq via $446MM capex), which could right size heightened inventory, and ii) polymetallic potential of Boumadine provides challenges - but also opportunities, in so much as a new mineralized lens announced today has indications of heightened silver endowment (298g/t Ag wt. avg. from today's results, versus M&I at 91g/t Ag). Overall, wt. avg. grade of drilling today was 19% accretive on a AgEq basis to current M&I resources. Trading at 0.65x P/NAV, we see minimal value for Boumadine in AYA (1.0x P/NAV on Zgounder implies 0.22x for Boumadine)," analyst Cole McGill wrote.(covers equity, commodity and economic research from major banks and research firms in North America, Asia and Europe.

Aya Gold & Silver Posts High-Grade Drill Results from Boumadine Project

Aya Gold & Silver (AYA.TO) reported new drill results from the Boumadine project in Morocco that confirm "strong high-grade continuity" along the Boumadine Main Trend and "support the potential for continued resource growth and scale", according to a Wednesday news release.In addition, hole BOU-DD25-745 to the south intersected a new mineralized parallel structure 70 meters below the current resources pit shell, the company said. This new structure has the potential to increase both the resources and depth of the open pit and will require follow-up drilling upward and laterally to fully assess its potential, it added.Highlights of the results from the Boumadine Main Trend include 890 grams per tonne silver equivalent over 51.5 m, including 1,504 g/t silver equivalent over 19.3 m; and also 665 g/t silver equivalent over 20.4 m, including 1,276 g/t silver equivalent over 5.3 m; as well as 746 g/t silver equivalent over 14.9 m, including 1,227 g/t silver equivalent over 6.5 m.In a exploration update, Aya cited 69,209m drilled at Boumadine year-to-date, with 20% of the planned 360,000m infill drilling program for 2026-2027 completed.On next steps, AYA said infill drilling, following last year's positive preliminary economic assessment, will be ongoing for the next 24 months with a drill program of approximately 360,000m planned. It addded "significant potential exists" to expand the Boumadine Main Trend, the Tizi Zone and the Imariren Zone, with all three trends open in all directions. Follow-up drilling is also planned on the 8 km Asirem trend for later this year."Most drilling will continue to focus on the Main Trend, Imariren and Tizi to extend known mineralization along strike and at depth, while infilling key areas as part of advancing Feasibility Study. The balance of the 2026 program (near 20,000m) will target Asirem follow-up and greenfield exploration, testing geological hypotheses and targets generated over the past four years. Ongoing geological work will guide additional development priorities," the company said."With over 69,000m drilled year-to-date and 11 rigs currently active, we are aggressively advancing the 2026-2027 infill and expansion program ahead of the updated PEA expected mid-year," said Benoit La Salle, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aya Gold & Silver.Shares in AYA were at last look up 5.6% at $17.45 in US premarket, but this comes after it dropped more than 10% in regular US trade yesterday.
