Aya Gold & Silver (TSE:AYA) reported what management described as a record first quarter of 2026, with higher revenue, cash flow and earnings despite weather-related disruptions at its Moroccan operations.
President and CEO Benoit La Salle said the quarter was “exceptional” for the company, noting that the first quarter is typically its most difficult operating period because the Zgounder mine is located at about 2,200 meters above sea level and is exposed to winter conditions. La Salle said Aya lost about five days of operations due to weather, but still delivered production of nearly 1.5 million ounces of silver.
