Montreal, Quebec, November 19, 2024 - Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA; OTCQX: AYASF) (“Aya” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to report additional high-grade silver drill results from its at-depth drill exploration program at the Zgounder Silver Mine in the Kingdom of Morocco.

Highlights (all intersections are in core lengths)

• In the Central Zone from the 1,950m level:

• hole DZG-SF-24-172 intercepted 2,165 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver (“Ag”) over 21.0 meters (“m”), including 4,600 g/t Ag over 3.5m

• hole DZG-SF-24-145 intercepted 4,645 g/t Ag over 3.0m, including 6,703 g/t Ag over 2.0m

• hole DZG-SF-24-272 intercepted 1,849 g/t Ag over 5.5m, including 3,894 g/t Ag over 2.5m

• In the Western Zone near the granite contact:

• hole ZG-SF-24-200 intercepted 1,151 g/t Ag over 21.0m, including 3,290 g/t Ag over 6.0m

• In the Eastern Zone near the open-pit area:

• hole DZG-SF-24-153 intercepted 3,955 g/t Ag over 4.0m

• hole ZG-RC-24-028 intercepted 986 g/t Ag over 24.0m, including 4,418 g/t Ag over 4.0m

• hole ZG-RC-24-082 intercepted 1,155 g/t Ag over 16.0m, including 2,335 g/t Ag over 5.0m

• hole ZG-RC-24-031 intercepted 744 g/t Ag over 14.0m

• 28,983m of the 2024 exploration program drilled year to date

"Today's high-grade drill results, including hole DZG-SF-24-172, show good continuity of high-grade silver mineralization at Zgounder," stated Benoit La Salle, President & CEO. "The multiple silver-rich intersections within and around the pit area could increase ounces and lead to an increase of the open pit. Furthermore, the high-grade intercept at the western extremity, together with the previously announced ZG-SF-24-141 at the western boundary of the fault, highlight the potential for additional resource expansion. With four underground, two surface, and one RC rig currently active, we anticipate a steady flow of results in the coming months to further advance our understanding and resource growth potential."
