Aya Gold & Silver Expands Moroccan Footprint with Permit Portfolio Acquisition
Dow Jones2026/09/01 11:14By Adriano Marchese
Aya Gold & Silver is set to buy a portfolio of exploration permits near its flagship silver mine in Morocco.
The Montreal-based miner on Tuesday said that it has agreed to acquire a 139-square-kilometer portfolio of permits, which includes a 19-kilometer mining license near its Zgounder silver mine.
Aya said the acquisition is expected to further consolidate its land position in the Zgounder district and provide exposure to an underexplored copper-silver system with what it defines as having significant exploration potential.
The company said the total cost is 4 million Canadian dollars ($2.9 million), and said the acquisition represents a low-cost opportunity to expand its existing Moroccan operating footprint.

EIA expects Brent crude spot prices to remain at $100 per barrel for the rest of the year and raises the average price forecasts for this year and next.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has raised its forecast for average Brent crude oil prices in 2026 and 2027 to $97 and $86, respectively, reflecting pressures from global inventory declines, Middle East supply disruptions, and rising transportation costs. As oil production in the Middle East gradually recovers and global inventories rebound from low levels, the EIA expects the average spot price of Brent crude to fall to $87 per barrel in the second quarter of 2027, and further decline to $77 per barrel by the fourth quarter.
