Over the three-year period ending June 30, 2022, the price of Aya shares increased by 245%, ranking it 18th on the 2022 TSX30 list.

"We are very proud of our selection as a top stock market performer for the second consecutive year by the TSX30, a distinguished list that acknowledges our outperformance since taking over as management," said Benoit La Salle, President & CEO of Aya Gold & Silver. "In fact, Aya's share price increased by 369% in the same period following the April 2020 management change of control.
