Aya Gold & Silver Inc. has announced the expansion of its 2023 exploration program over all of its Moroccan holdings, according to mining portal, mining.com.

The expansion of the exploration program will include the Boumadine polymetallic project, the Zgounder silver deposit, the Zgounder Regional properties, and the recently acquired Tirzzit copper-silver property. 

An additional 40,000 meters have been added to the 2023 diamond drill hole program at Boumadine to test a new zone in the northwest, where massive sulphide is associated with a large brecciated zone that currently extends 1.5 kilometers, as well as infill drilling with the goal of delivering a resource by Q1-2024.

The expansion also includes an extra 7,300m to the 2023 DDH program for the Zgounder Regional properties to explore the probable extension of the Zgounder deposit and drill a new target in the Tourchkal region.

Further surface drilling totaling around 3,000 meters will also be carried out close to the Zgounder open pit. This drilling is intended to follow up on the earlier reverse circulation drill results east of the deposit and in the southern half of the pit, according to Aya Gold & Silver Inc.

An initial stream sediment mapping campaign, a high-resolution hyperspectral scan, and other operations will be carried out on the Tirzzit land.

Aya Gold & Silver Inc is a Canadian based silver producer with a big presence and activities in Morocco.

The Corporation, which is listed on the TSX, runs the underground Zgounder Silver Mine, which is situated 260 kilometers east of Agadir in Morocco.

Aya has a variety of exploration sites situated along the productive Anti-Atlas belt, which is home to Zgounder and Managem’s Imiter Mine, in addition to advancing its Boumadine polymetallic project.
