Financial and Business Position

Aya's Earnings are tied to silver and gold prices, so moves in the metals tend to flow into the equity.

Precious-metals miners are leveraged to the metals they produce, because a substantial portion of their operating costs is relatively fixed over the near term. Silver deserves a specific mention because it adds a second dimension to the leverage. A producer with silver exposure can therefore see its shares move more sharply than a pure gold miner when precious metals weaken, since sentiment across the complex turns negative at once.
