Just hope for continued buoyant gold, buoyant silver, decent drilling results from Seners latest pandering by the board (these days I imagine him having tantrums in the boardroom if he doesn't get his own way), the Chinese opposing the boy CEO and confiscating his Black and Decker, and passing of the Mining Laws in Zimbabwe with no nasties included.

Then bang out the DFS, ramp up the Tavsan heap leach, and get bid for for the whole company at 5p + before the end of 2026.

Too much to ask for? Probably, but that's what I want for Christmas 2026.

I would then consider investing some of the proceeds in a psychiatrist to somehow ring fence any memory of Ariana bloody Resources and leave it in my head as a nightmare that never actually happened.

Could be worse.

Well ok, maybe it couldn't be much worse...... record PoG, record PoS, and AAU SP is, lets have a look....

Down.

O dear, I've been censored!

hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but that back of a *** packet calc is an estimate of revenue lob!

Gawd knows LoB. The estimate of production for 2025 was 25000 oz, up from an achieved 20800 the year before. Average PoG was up $1000 all though 2025 compared to 2024 the year so with the silver credit (PoS increased be a far greater %) maybe $3800 rather than 2024s achieved $2620. Is the estimate of 25000oz valid given the ever delayed heap leach ?

So l'll go for Zenit revenue of 22500 x $3800 = 85.5m? Anyone want to join my silly game?

Up the Clarets.

2 more for the green bin

Anyone who has any knowledge of Ariana, done any research at all, knows there is no immediate funding requirement.

Totally agree Mr C, was simply a shock to see tumbleweed when the previous time I went you had trouble sitting down!

I am interested in seeing what, of anything, the government do. Or will pressure from other businesses asking 'what about us?' cause possible deferral of the measures being widely talked about in the media. There seems to be no question of TMs requested VAT reduction happening though.

Hi City_Spotter

Are you ever unfaithful and wander up Bennetts Hill to the Wellington? 16 cask ails in there when I went in on Tuesday after my 'spoons brekky and coffee!

Obviously pleased with recent SP strength. Just wondering what is driving it.

My anecdotal experience was that there was high demand before Christmas but pretty subdued since. I was in a big one on Birmingham New Street station on Tuesday and I have never seen it so quiet. This is a flagship pub. What was more telling was that it was clear that staffing levels were low, as if management know this and are staffing according - the barman was also delivering food, I have never seen that before!

There are obviously rumours that our idiot PM (and idiot Chancellor) are possibly planning another U turn and MAY address the business rates and VAT situation for hospitality, The hope that will occur could explain this SP strength, and if it happens I can see greater gains. If it become evident in time that it is indeed just a rumour we could see a drift back to £7. Just the ramblings of an old bloke over my first cuppa of the day.

Even though the RNS only appeared on ASX, for some reason not reported on LSE, they now have now receiced AUS $8m from the Chinese company, so would question that.

Why have the ASX announcements not been made as an RNS in London? Is Australia now the favoured market for Sener as many of us suspected?

I see from the ASX announcement tonight that the AAU printing press has been working overtime over Christmas, including an additional 6% of the Xinhai CDI count for the 'Advisers'. That's worth about £250,00 by my calcs. I'd love to be on Santa Seners nice list, seems a very nice place to be. Sadly along with other LTHs I appear to be on the naughty list yet again.

Love the subject 2reincarnated. Not what most people think of me!

I do genuinely think massive mistakes have been made, but with PoG and PoS buoyant despite the sharp corrections this share could finally come good.

The Chinese interest, at the cost of dilution that has resulted by them coming on board, could be the making of Ariana yet. Dilution may be the price we had to pay to get no nonsense management aboard to force the current comfortable management, screaming if necessary, to do what they should have been doing for a long time.

Staggering to think how rich shareholders could have been if this enterprise had competent management.

All this on a plate and yet its future is still unsure. .

It is.

Hopefully a happy new year

Been with THS a long time, dont normally post but I'm knocked out by platinum! Good (half) day again tomorrow?

Yes Van I saw, Fab news, look at Ariana go!

Thankfully I still hold Greatland, 35% up in the month.

Van

Phew. good job Ariana just got into bed with a Chinese company then.

While I'm very down on the continuing ****show that is Ariana, I agree with you. Mining is Zimbabwe's major earner and I cant see them destroying inward investment like this. This seems to target small enterprises only.

It may still have had some effect as VanVan implies simply as it will affect the sentiment, specifically whether Zimbabwe is really emerging from the dark day of Mugabe into a vibrant economy worth investing in....... or not.

I have said for some time that until this mining bill is signed off it will be a drag here.

New mining minister, the last was kicked out with immediate effect.

Increased royalty from 5% to 10% when gold exceeds $2500 with no tapering.

Is gold strategic for the Government free carry claim as they have reserved the right to declare anything strategic? Does that even affect Ariana given that it is not a new project but then again due the boy CEOs everlasting faffing it is no nearer production than 2/3 years ago.

What does offloading equity even mean?

Don't ask me, I'm just a pensioner who appears to have chosen the worst gold mining company. I'll be on the gruel again this year, like every Christmas since I heard of this bloody company
