Don't bet on blogs getting filtered on this LSE chatsite, TP. Recently I referred to a British Company of fame in the international scene of defense stuff and nuclear engineering. The first part of that Company name started with " Bab ". The monitors of this LSE website completed the rest of its name by using ***k . You can work out the full name of the famous company for yourself. They probably live in Clacton-on-Sea and voted for Farage!

Coming back to AAU though and the beautifully detailed recent RNS the big question has to be the timescale of Dokwe. Based on Dr K's previous previous timing forecast on Salinbas , Tavsan and his drilling mania, F knows when all you punters will see any actual production or rise in share price to swell your personal dosh

The Orange Wannabe Dicktater's got no chance of a knee bend here. It's all about Canada & Euroland now!

How many of you players remember the poem about "The Good Ship Venus" . Did the Captain finally go down with his awful ship? I'm reminded here about Christopher Columbus in that he set off not knowing where he might reach. When he got to land, he didn't know where he was. Finally, he had managed throughout with someone else's money! (either way Leifur Eriksson got to the "New World first! LOL)

Iechyd Da, Van

Hi John and I reckon your posting fairly summarized the roller coaster run over the years of Ariana. Apart from the amalgamation into the joint venture (which you counselled against and in hindsight I believe that both you and I should have disposed of our shareholding then) I think that Kerim, admittedly a good geologist, decide to put all his irons in the fire, moved to Australia, and concentrated on upping his lifestyle.

Kerim's incursion into Venus (Cyprus) was questionable according to fellow posters at that time because they were concerned about the history of the would-be partner whose own Company, Kefi, has not exactly shined.

KS seemed to enjoy considerable admiration from Proactive who offered his very exciting promotions. But establishing a new office in Kosovo turned me right off and I also felt that his interests " down under" and promotion of Panther Metals was possibly diverting him from his original Executive appointment on Ariana's Board. Thereafter I was totally put off by the missed dates/promises and the almost daily fall in share price. So finally I had enough of all the BS and sold all my shareholding. However I have friends on the chat board and from time to time I will probably take the occasional peek out of curiosity to see how things are going (or finished up?). Live Long & Prosper and......, Paul, a colonoscopy ain't on my list - but it may perhaps appear on yours sooner than you think. ! I do believe though that your preferred sign off of " Woof-Woof" is most appropriate these days to describe AAU progress beyond the original "Red Rabbit" and its first pouring of Kiziltepe when we were all full of imminent multi-bagging . Those were the days, My Friend!

y he had considerable support through his podcasts via ProActive (and I've noted they have similarly praised equal disasters like AYM and others over the same period!)

If my years of AAU experience is still the trend, good buddy Strangerstill, the leach will be 4-5 months - which will take " all ya'all" into 2026. Salinbas might also deliver fairly soon, my guess would be some time after 2030.

Am I the only poster? Sandstorm Gold in all probability will become a subsidiary of Royal Gold after shareholders agreement mid October. That will be a helluva royalty combination with a lot of mines producing or about to commence in favored places around the world. So far this year both Companies have performed well.

Hi LoB,

I did get out some time ago with a tiny profit on a brief upturn and, of course we did get Kerim's " payout" after he combined the Company into the current partnership (even if the money took 3 years separate bits to reach us). Recently the hype on this blog persuaded me that I might make a quick buck if I bought in again on "the Down" and there seemed a reasonable chance that listing on the ASX and a chunk of gold from Tavshan's leech might be the catalyst. the ASX happened but I didn't see a rise in AAU share price or confirmation that Tavshan earnings had started, so impatience won the day and I've gone! Naturally the SP has now improved but nothing like the rest of my current portfolio, (which purposely has steered clear of investments in Africa).

Yes John has always been somewhat pessimistic and I'm inclined to agree 100% of the original Ariana was more agreeable that the current 24%.

However I wish you all well and I hope the SP will rise in due course and give y'all a well-needed profit. It might even be sufficient to fund nasty Deano's future medical bills in his old age! He should consider that "What comes around just may go around".

All the Best to you and your fellow Soccer fans. Regards, DJ

Paul Deano: " I suppose a good bit of war and the tax payer helps in this little enterprise? "

What helps is your good mate Poohtin potentially threatening Europe and nutter Bibi's genocide in Palestine (with your evidently decrepit God/Emperor's support ).

Since John took a peep at your perverted none sense, I thought it might be time to see what you've been up to since I last filtered you. Clearly you are still just a crude, rude, lewd silly kid - so back in the green box you will go!

Agreed VanVan. I'm still kinda in Salinbas/Hod Maden but invested in real professional royalty firms. However this Ariana BoD has finally exhausted my patience so I've taken a 300 quid loss after re-investing recently and I've got far more successful defense industry firms to buy more shares instead. They give ya divvies too! Cymru Am Byth!

yes, john, this has clearly evolved into one of the aim " lifestyle" companies. so disappointing as 10 years ago many thought of a "multi-bagger". as you know i was tempted into a small chancer a few months ago 'cos i reckoned getting listed on the aussie exchange and seeing stuff actually coming out of tavshan might just double my small dabble. but of course tavsan is a shared mine and dokwe, though 100% aau might yet have to pay something to zimbabwe and probably borrowed money to keep on drilling and compiling technical assessments (as usual). right now i could use my cash in say rolls royce, bab**** or raytheon. they are all winning nice fat contracts these days. can't help feeling we should have not gone brexit. that view is gaining strength with a lot of professionally qualified "mukkamucks" this side of the pond.

I think someone is just having a "wind up" because of possible longtime performance by the BoD and/or the SP.

It will be interesting to see where things go if it seems that our 23% interest in Tavshan leads to a spectacular

autumnal production RNS and also the Shares actually get listed next month "Down Under" . I'm not exactly too confident about our chances of getting divvy or making any bucks out of Dokwe following Zimbabwe's Chief popping in on Xi's big event recently, attended by Pootin and Kim etc.

Deano - Mariana's Hod Maden interest is just a relatively few km from Salisbas so stop splitting hairs, even though that might be less interesting to your juvenile focus on arses. I have earned far more through my investments in Sandstorm than the many years of listening to promises by AAU. Finally, I have far more experience than you, minimind, both in " governance " , longevity and progressing effectively through the "University of Life".... so just GROW UP ! Time to re-instate the filter once again, methinks.

Thanks for the welcome again, LoB, C&B, and John. As a kid I played Euro and Brit Football , Rugby ( Union of course) in Cymru but hated cricket. Baseball is more fun to watch. Anyway I'm just hoping that Tavsan at last coming on stream and a possible admission to the Aussie listings might just make me a little profit next year. I'm not holding my breath over Dokwe and I wrote off any chance with Salinbas after Sandstorm got out (and that company's shares and my investment) have climbed thereafter. Enjoy your Summer heatwave!. Cheers, DJ

Great News Indeed, Paul D. I've taken a 100K punt again here so I hope it will be profitable. I've also had a full endoscopy last week so be assured nothing is amiss. (Incidentally on a clear night here I can see Uranus.) Knowing your rear end thinking, may I suggest it's perhaps time for getting yourself checked out, matey. Taco wouldn't want you going around in ever decreasing circles and ultimately disappearing where the Sun doesn't shine. It just wouldn't be the same on this Chat.

Is this another dog you're trying to find a home for Vanvan?

Panther Metals PLC filed its Annual on Apr 29, 2025 for the period ending Dec 31, 2024. In this report its auditor, Keelings Limited, gave an unqualified opinion expressing doubt that the company can continue as a going concern.

I removed the filters and I can't believe you have been writing such sensible comments lately and even being nice to John. Just maybe you've morphed to an age of decency and common sense. Otherwise - Sorry Paul. I don't know Rockfords , old chum. My musical interests go back to the Beach Boys, The Shadows and maybe Mantovani. Andre Rieu has done a great show everywhere he's performed.

Anyway I couldn't resist the "taco" bit. Clearly this nickname has gone over huge this side of the pond. All we need now is for Sir Siddiq Khan to lend us London's Baby T blow up balloon to be hauled along in the coming Washington Magamaniac Parade. Wonder who will take the salute..... Trumpy, Orban or Lukachenko?

Very well put, Strangerstill. Personally I'm not affected 'cos I bailed out some time ago with my last tranche of 250k making a very small profit. Deano held on a few years ago at 6p and I followed suit for a time until I got very concerned at the way the Company was being operated and took a loss (which at the time was painful with over one million shares) but at least I didn't suffer an even bigger loss as further years rolled on and the SP tumbled down and down. Meanwhile Kerim smiled so sweetly with his podcasts. Then we had the Cyprus fiasco (and warnings on here about the other guy involved in Venus). Then came opening an office in Kosovo and expanding in the Balkans while Dr K had comfortably settled himself on the other side of this planet" and was seeking new prospects "down under" .. As has been suggested - he knows his geology very well but clearly missed his way (imho) with his handling of our original investment here.. The gold is no good to us thousands of feet underground after years of " drill maybe drill" (as Trump aka "Taco" likes to suggest for the oil/LNG industry this side of the pond). So we have had interminable promises of getting it up to market and getting great returns. Tavsan should have been up and running long ago and not shared with other partners. Salinbas in my opinion was technically and geographically a money drain and thus a "no-go" from the start. Other would- be miners sold their interests and got out.....fast!

Finally, investing in anything in Africa frightens me because of its history of political corruption and authoritarianism. Dokwe could so easily become a doom scenario for ya'all. These days I prefer to think Canadian!

bit weird according to daily aau listings on lse. dunno what this 1p and 2p listing is all about - some troll perhaps or even a ****ed off investor? don't see many of our long-term regulars posting these days - are ya'all still invested here or sensibly fled to canadian mining companies. gold seems to be fairly firm above $3000/ounce at present. cheers, dj

other than that, your pound is up against our greenback but there are not many brits or eurol tourists coming across the pond this way these days. might be fear of deano's god-emperor illegally flying them off to el salvador or even south sudan. it seems that tourists prefer heading to the caribbean these days.

It's a bit flat on this chat. C'mon folks...say something nice about their flat batteries and vehicle designs. Screw Tesla!

Not investing, Anxiety, - thieving and lying his way just like he's after Ukraine's rare minerals ( and Canada and Greenland). The real race is just about ready to commence between impeachment and/or jailtime. A convicted felon, he's still breaking laws by ignoring Court orders and his minions are currently kidnapping my fellow citizens and/or their family members and sending them off by plane to other countries without allowing them " Due Process " first.
