Ariana Resources MD on 2025 results & growth outlook

Ariana Resources PLC (AIM:AAU, ASX:AA2, FRA:4A6) managing director Kerim Sener talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s 2025 results, funding position, and progress across its key gold projects, including Dokwe and Tavşan. Sener outlined a “very pleasing end to the year,” highlighting a stronger cash position following an investment from Xinhai, leaving the company with approximately £5.4 million in cash. He explained that Ariana is now “adequately provided for through the duration of the coming year and the feasibility study on Dokwe,” positioning the company to advance one of its most important growth assets. The discussion also addressed the reported shift from profit to loss, which Sener clarified was “a paper treatment only,” driven by a non-cash accounting adjustment related to the valuation of its investment in Zenit. Operationally, the Dokwe project continues to deliver encouraging exploration results. Sener pointed to strong drilling intercepts, including “4m at about 17g per ton of gold,” which demonstrate newly identified extensions of mineralisation and support the potential for a future resource upgrade. Further drilling and metallurgical work are planned in the coming months. Meanwhile, the Tavşan mine has entered production and is expected to begin contributing dividend flow during the year, supporting Ariana Resources PLC’s broader growth strategy. Sener also emphasised that the company is “very well funded through the course of this year,” with additional financial and technical backing from Xinhai helping to advance feasibility work.
