Aya Gold & Silver's Strategic Spinout Initiates Growth Phase
Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA; OTC Markets: AYASF) has embarked on an exciting journey, announcing its strategic plans for the spinout of the Amizmiz Gold Project.

Details of the Transaction
The transaction involves Aya transferring its ownership of the Amizmiz Property, supported by a financial commitment of $1 million as part of Mx2's funding efforts. Mx2 is set to raise at least $7.5 million, which will bolster its exploration capabilities for the Amizmiz Gold Project.

- A 2,400 meter drilling program is currently underway, anticipating the possibility of more than 1 million ounces of gold.

This project boasts a decent inventory of measured resources with over 292,600 ounces at 2.19 grams per tonne and an inferred resource of 533,200 ounces at 1.63 grams per tonne. Mx2 aims to maintain this option by fulfilling minimum spending requirements over the next three years.
