If one moment captured Aya Gold & Silver in motion this year, it was the updated Boumadine PEA that put a US$3.5b after tax NPV and a 93% IRR on record for a single Moroccan project. Holding Aya Gold & Silver over the past year would have returned 143.8%, including dividends. If you were deciding back on 20 October 2025, what did you need to believe about Boumadine and Zgounder for that later result to feel reasonable?
Narratives are how investors here put a case on the record, with explicit assumptions about revenue, margins and the multiple. Those assumptions imply an estimated Fair Value.

The Argument You Would Have Been Weighing Up On Aya Gold & Silver
The shares cost CA$17.86 at the start of the period, and Aya Gold & Silver sat between two sharply different stories about Morocco and silver.
In the optimistic case, the Fair Value was CA$19.71. The thesis rested on Zgounder ramp-up success and exploration at both Zgounder and Boumadine supporting sustained revenue and earnings expansion.
The more cautious view anchored on a Fair Value of CA$12.57. It focused on persistent ore dilution and Aya’s heavy reliance on Moroccan assets as key operational and jurisdictional risks.
What The Evidence Did To The Aya Gold & Silver Argument
The updated Boumadine PEA put Aya Gold & Silver on record with a US$3.5b after tax NPV, a 93% IRR and a 14 year mine life. This leaned toward the optimistic case that Boumadine could become a tier one growth engine. Record Q2 2026 revenue of US$96.8m and higher net income, with net margin rising to 35.7%, reinforced that view.
The lesson is simple. When a story hinges on new projects and margin expansion, treat each PEA, feasibility step and reported net margin as a checkpoint to test the original belief.
What Aya Gold & Silver’s Run Now Prices In
Aya Gold & Silver now trades at CA$36.91. The selected Narrative places its Fair Value below that level, even while framing Aya as a de risked producer with significant sensitivity to silver prices.
That view leans on strong execution at Zgounder and free upside from Boumadine. A buyer today is effectively betting on sustained silver strength. How does the reliance on a single country and concentrated production shape that assumption?
“AYA is a de-risked production story with exceptional silver torque trading at a Morocco discount. The company has proven operational competence (rare in junior/mid-tier mining), operates one of the highest-grade primary silver mines globally, and offers 5-10x potential upside if the silver bull thesis plays out.”
