Ariana Resources weighs in on its gold production

Thu May 02 2024

Ariana Resources' 2024 gold production outlook

Ariana Resources, an AIM-listed gold producer, shares insights on its 2024 production guidance from the Zenit Madencilik mining operations in Turkey and its recent merger with Rockover Holdings in Zimbabwe. CEO Dr Karim Sener explains the profitability and scaling of gold production from the Tashan ore, with positive results from both CIL and heap leach processing techniques. Anticipated is a production rate of around 25,000 ounces of gold per annum for about a decade. Significant reductions in production costs are expected, alongside increased revenues due to higher gold prices.

Future development

The company has managed development costs efficiently, without shareholder or debt market recourse, benefiting from its Turkish partnership. Expansion into Zimbabwe comes as Ariana leverages Dr. Sener's networking and experience, signaling Ariana's strategic diversification and highlighting potential in the region's mining sector. Despite market challenges, Ariana remains optimistic, emphasising sound project development and timing to reflect company value. Additionally, a dual listing on the ASX is under consideration to capitalise on Australia’s resources-driven market understanding and support for mineral projects, including those in Zimbabwe.
