Rabat — Aya Gold & Silver continues to build momentum at its Zgounder silver mine in Morocco.
The Canadian mining company reported significantly improved operating results for April, confirming the growing strength of its primary mining site.
Silver production at the Zgounder mine has jumped 64% since the beginning of the year, marking an important milestone in the company’s performance.
Aya Gold asserts ongoing operational improvements driven by steady activity at the site and exceptional performance from the processing plant.
“Our fundamentals are strong and results are meeting expectations: mining production has increased 64% since January,” the company’s CEO and President Benoît La Salle said.
“We’re already seeing improved recovery rates, and April’s performance reinforces our confidence in our strategy to optimize ore processing and strengthen our cash generation.”
Several strategic actions are currently underway to maximize production capacity at the site, with the company bringing in a specialized contractor to quickly restore full capacity to the oxygen production unit, a critical component for optimizing precious metal recovery rates.
At the same time, the company has begun working directly with the equipment supplier to accelerate long-term improvements.
The company’s efforts are already showing results, as initial tests on the plant’s residues confirm the technical parameters defined in the feasibility study, giving the company increased visibility on meeting its performance targets.
Aya Gold remains confident that it could maintain this positive momentum and achieve its forecasts for 2025, especially as the company’s April solid production represents a major step toward regular and sustainable industrial performance.
Zgounder site is a strategic project that positions Morocco as an increasingly visible player in the international silver market.
