Might be of interest. Bit of background to Hellenic Copper Mines Ltd.,Ariana of course involved via Venus Minerals.Heads of Agreement by mid Nov. for the development of a fully permitted Apliki Copper Mine (10.4mt @ 0.34 Cu) Fast track project to mining stage in 18 months following London IPO by end of year.AAU to earn in to 50% of Venus by early Q4.http://hcm.com.cy/site/about-hcm

The world risks “running out of copper” amid widening supply and demand deficits, according to Bank of America, and prices could hit $20,000 per metric ton by 2025.

In a note Tuesday, Bank of America commodity strategist Michael Widmer highlighted inventories measured in tons are now at levels seen 15 years ago, implying that stocks currently cover just over three weeks of demand. This comes as the global economy is beginning to open up and reflate.

By the way I was ecstatic to hear they had finally secured the E.I.A. to proceed with our second mine at Tavsan.
Tavsan has mega financials. It is rare to come across one so good. The Scoping Study gave us cash/costs of $630/oz. A global resource of 4mt@1.3G/t Au & 4.5G/tAg. A NP
V of $42m. But the world class numbers were the IRR at 80% and a payback in just 1.1 years on just $20m of initial capital. These figures are no doubt conservative as Kerim has said there will be a new Resource and the Life of Mine will double from 4 years to probably 8 yrs plus. I look forward to hearing what PG make of all this. As said I hope they wait for the new Reserve and extended Life of Mine.

I think the updated Panmure Gordon Analyst Note will be a bit of a bombshell, as their updated valuation will, I reckon, take new and existing investors by surprise.
I hope they wait now for the following:
1. Revised Kiziltepe Resource estimate and extended Life of Mine
2. Final Kepez Reserve
3. Revised Tavsan Reserve and extended Life of Mine.
4. Perhaps even first drill results from "huge" Salinbas.

There's lots of other news due of course, but these four are potentially real "game changers" in my opinion, and could all be out to the market before Christmas. So I'm predicting a Panmure Gordon Note well into December and a share price north of 7p. Just my view, but one that excites me.

I'm quite encouraged by all the potentially accretive news building up in the relative short term. Could all this happen by end of 2021?
1. Kiziltepe: Drill programme leading to new resource leading to an extended life of mine.
2. Tavsan: One last drill programme after Kiziltepe complete to confirm Reserve. E.I.A. permit, final land purchases (35%) and Finance approval.
3. Salinbas: Drill programme to commence after Tavsan. Michael said it was "Huge" yesterday. Straight to Full Feasibility Study
4. Cyprus: Definitive Agreement by mid Nov.on 50/50 JV to develop Aplike & Venus IPO by end of year.
5. Eastern Europe: Ongoing
6. Asgard Metals Fund: Ongoing - IPO of Panther Australia before end of year.
7. Panmure Gordon Broker note.
8. Second dividend by end of March 2022.

A few biggies in short order, could potentially gives us the impetus we need to get a proper re-rate. Perhaps Panmure Gordon will be able to reflect the value of the above into a sensible price target.
I hear Tom Winnifrith published comment yesterday saying the concluded Aplike Agreement could be the catalyst to see the shares back above 6p. But there is so much more than just Cyprus as listed above. Perhaps it is time to get excited especially given the current share price disconnect.

Sorry Peter van der Borgh
Managing Director, Venus Minerals

Perhaps Mentor Demi, Kosovo, Western Tethyan Resources and Peter Van Deborgh should be on the Ariana board. They are increasingly playing a key role in the developing strategy. Not sure why Kerim doesn’t give them more profile.

Pay day guys & girls. Some are reinvesting their dividend and that is driving the price higher today. Apparently Charles Stanley, II and IG have already credited their clients. In fact IG did it at 8.15!
Others haven't.
This means many are disadvantaged and will have to pay higher prices to re-invest.
I would suggest you should complain to your broker and you will have suffered financial loss which is a serious issue.
Biggles on ADVFN who has a noticeable interest (over 3%) hasn't had his. He must be fuming.
The Co. have done well to keep a lid on news and keep the share price low, but once everyone has had a chance to reinvest their dividends I hope they let the news roll big time.
The Director's bought shares about a month ago which meant we were in a "closed" period for news. I believe we are now out of the "closed" period, and I'm confident there is a lot of important news to flow.
1. Salinbas drilling started in September
2. Results from Cyprus - should be good. Due early Q4?
3. Tavsan E.I.A. permit - overdue & Covid delayed, but Govt. Dept's getting back to normal now.
4. Kosovo & Eastern Europe update/plans
5. Exploration & Development plans
6. Improved production at Kiziltepe as a result of new Ball Mill and higher grade feed material etc.
7. Possible Hizarliyayla drilling to start before Christmas - Kerim said this in a Q& A back in June. That really excites me.
So lots of news, pay-out stimulating reinvestment and perhaps positive momentum & gold hardening hopefully all running up to Christmas.

Hi John,
Dying to know which Co has been drawing your attention? Will understand if you prefer not to say.
Incidentally, I'm still in touch with Mr Pizza Express No. 3 namely Paul. He posts from time to time on ADVFN and remains a strong supporter of Ariana,
Apparently there is a Nigel Somerville note out. Anyone seen it?
I've read that Gold & Silver are on the cusps of a strong positive run based on momentum analysis. Let's hope that is the case.

Charles River Laboratories:-
On the Road to Developing a Variant-Proof COVID-19 Vaccine
Scancell, a developer of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and infectious disease, is working with Cobra Biologics, a Charles River Company, on its COVID-19 vaccine to protect against variants.

The company recently announced the publication of preclinical data on two vaccine candidates and subsequently received approval to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial, COVIDITY. These cutting-edge vaccines will target the nucleocapsid (N) protein and the key receptor binding domain of the spike (S) protein to generate both T cell responses and antibodies. This innovative approach has the potential to provide sustainable immunity by offering protection not only against one strain, but also against potential new strains.

A Phase 1 study is set to launch in H2 2021, initially in South Africa, and then in the UK. Cobra will play a crucial role in manufacturing GMP grade plasmids for the DNA vaccine. Cobra’s extensive track record in scaling up production of DNA for its customers made them the optimal choice for manufacturing quality material for COVIDITY.

Hi John
If you have a look at the latest Annual Report & Accounts on page 12 or indeed in the latest presentation on the web site you will find a chart which is the next best thing to a Gantt chart we have been repeatedly calling for.
There it shows Tavsan going out to 2030 with a production rate of c. 30,000 ounces of gold per annum. The report says that "it is expected that the mine life will exceed 6 years and a new resource drilling programme is expected to be completed during 2021" . We know the infill and extension resource drilling programme should be complete probably fairly soon which then enables them to press on with the Feasibility Study. Of course they also need the E.I.A. signed off - "making its way through the final approval process" and 35% more land acquisitions.
All looking good. Hope that helps.

I'm no expert on trading volumes or how Market Makers move the price and spread, (secret science?) but it seems to me it wouldn't take much concerted buying to move the price quite considerably.
Traders must be aware that many investors will use all or part of the special pay-out later this month to buy more Ariana shares and that alone could have a marked positive impact on the share price. Will they want to buy in ahead of that?
But on Fundamentals it looks like the Tavsan E.I.A. is very close from what they said this morning and the market will acknowledge that is a major milestone in the path to getting into production at our second mine. A big de-risking milestone. There is always a concern that locals will object etc. but that consultation process is now complete and the application has been re-submitted to the powers that be to grant the E.I.A. So that was a big plus this morning. Perhaps it will take a bit of time for that to sink in.
The second SAG Ball Mill has also been constructed and completed so throughput numbers from here on in will be up nicely, compensating and more for the current lower grade ore. Don't forget they also told us in July they have a stockpile of over 285,000 tonnes that has been established, representing about 10 months of enhanced production capacity.
We were also told earlier that drilling at Salinbas could start in September.
As has already been mentioned, we should imo be due some exciting news from Cyprus in Q4.
I'm expecting (optimistically) that the next release on Cyprus will start to put the potential there into some sort of context.
So going back to my question about how little volume is needed to shift the share price, Q4 could, with a bit of luck, at last see us re-rated to a more realistic level without even that much buying effort. Bring in heavy buying and who knows what could happen.
Anyone agree?

Did you see the Prof. Lindy Durrant interview on Proactive this week with Katie?

Well there we are. The dividend is in the bag.
Roll on news now from Cyprus, Salinbas and Tavsan.

Hi S.I. Kenj: - Put a £ sign in front if you like - looks ok to me £0.035

The share goes ex dividend tomorrow. So if you want the 0.035p dividend in just four weeks, you need to grab some shares today.

Investor Meet Company shared a post: We are delighted to be working with Open Orphan Plc. Join Cathal Friel Chairman and Co Founder for a live investor presentation today at 5:30pm BST. Join Here: hxxps://lnkd.in/dA8GGaX #investing #capital markets

Just spoken to Henry Wilkinson at Yellow Jersey. The AGM on 18th is to be a normal event. All are welcome. There are no restriction on numbers. Turn up with proof from your broker of your shareholding and get the chance to hear Kerim's live Zoom new presentation and the Board answer pre submitted questions and questions posed on the day. Is anyone hoping to attend?
The presentation and the Answers to Questions will be posted on the Co. website subsequently. I'm told they will not be videoing the event. With Government Covid restrictions removed it is business as normal. He could not confirm why the ex dividend date had not been announced.
