Anyone got a view on one of these as a replacement for my S350 (3.7 litre v6 petrol).
Sounds like a lot of car for around £12000!

Rev James is a very good tipple but I was delighted to be drinking Optimistic from the Bristol Brewing Co.
Seemed to align with my view of Great Britain and of course Ariana Resources.
It is interesting to hear how investors perceive us. I genuinely consider we are misunderstood. Our long but normal struggle over many years to grow from an acorn into a fledgling tree has been difficult and has tainted us with a view that we contstantly raise funds. Although we know that cloud has past I suspect that perception has yet to change for many. One day soon the market will wake up to what has happened. Something big needs to trigger that change. When it occurs the SP reaction will be significant as so many of the shares are tightly held. I also get the impression that many are put off by the number of shares (over 1 billion) and strangely the size of our Market Cap. We are too small to be considered serious. I guess the Directors just have to beaver away hoping the message will sink in.
In 12 or so months we will be debt free and producing lots of FCF. Salinbas will be better understood, Tavsan the second mine will have a firm timescale to production and the Red Rabbit resource will be bigger extending the life of mine. We are lucky to understand all that and how undervalued we therefore are. What an investment opportunity for anyone with the time to undertake their own due diligence. Of course if Gold & Silver continue to go north as well, someday $1400 per oz this year, the bottom line impact will be the cheery on the cake. One of the best gold miners on AIM for growth anyone?

Not wanting to ramp but this was my latest post on ADVFN (plasybryn)
Taken from a GoldStockBull article:

Furthermore, the Gold price advance has accelerated in recent weeks, suggesting that gold could be in the early stages of another major bull cycle. If this is the case, we believe the gold price will easily make a new all-time high above $2,000/ounce within the next 24 months and challenge the $3,000 price level by the end of 2021.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Ariana producing north of 25,000 ozs at $3000 per oz is $75m divide by 2 = $37.5m
With costs less than $600 per oz means profit for Ariana of c. $30m per year.

Bring on stream Tavsan in 2021 (?) and take production to say 55,000 ozs plus p.a (Kizlitepe 25,000 + Tavsan 30,000 ozs) and you are looking at profit for Ariana of $66m.

And that's before the elephant in the room at Salinbas. Nice!
What our current Market Cap? Doh.

Wow - Is that £2.00 or did you have trouble balancing your till?
I think 2p is more likely to come before that and as soon as we get some good drill results back from Salinbas.
Hopefully we will get 2019 "Guidance" soon and then the Quarterly results to 31st Dec.
Plus drill results from the current Red Rabbit drill programme.

I think this will be our year. Happy New Year to all posters and investors.

Good we mine a lot of silver!
Happy Christmas all.
Today's $gold close was significant in that it closed above the top of a mini uptrend channel, indicating a potential acceleration in price momentum. Very close now to a "Golden Cross". The more curious thing, is how much $silver has been controlled.

There has been much chatter about for whom JPM is accumulating physical silver, with suggestions being the Chinese. I personally believe it is entirely for the USA. Gold can be allowed to run to whatever price is necessary to balance debt, provide liquidity, etc etc but silver is becoming a far more strategic metal by virtue of its usage. In a few years once the 'silver' reset is complete, it will be, he who holds the silver controls the reigns, not gold...imo. Silver is going to be 'thee' strategic metal, far more than rare earths or uranium etc, hence why it is currently being leaned on as accumulation takes place. I can see a 4-6 week lag, between $gold ripping higher and a true $silver response, possibly pushing the ratio out to 100:1 before 'they' lift the foot off the throat. All imho. :-)

I didn’t expect us to end the year again below 2p when I considered the possibilities last Christmas. But I guess that must mean the real price action has been just delayed again.
2019 must surely be a classic year for Ariana.
1. Further improvements at Red Rabbit
2. Loan pretty well finished (April 2020)
3. Start of expecting exploration drilling at Salinbas
4. Tavsan 2nd mine progress - F.S.?
5. Strengthening gold & silver price.
6. Perhaps a new Institutional Investor.
Just a brief summary. Can we double in price in 2019?
Merry Christmas & best wishes for 2019.

I think it is also widely known as the Jimmy Carter drug.

Hi John
That’s a big sell. Have you found something even better to invest in?
I personally can’t think of anything as good as AAU especially if you take a 12month view.
When you look at our Market Cap compared to other AIM commodity stocks, many of which aren’t even profitable or for that matter close to producing, Ariana looks a no brainer to me.
I never been more confident.
Loved the Zak video taking about Arzu North & Kizilcukur. Look at those rock chip assay results from before:
6m at 3.3g/t - 2m at 9.6g/t - 1m at 7.2 g/t and peak rock chip assay result of 152 g/t gold and 1320 g/t silver.
We have so much to verify from so many locations.
2019 could well be exceptional especially with Salinbas drilling and debt albeit repaid.

Impressive grades

Good stuff- have you seen it!

Looking good

Interesting questions. Can’t guarantee I know the answers but this is how I would respond.
1. Yes I believe it would entail an underground mining operation, and yes I think they do plan to mine it in due course.
2. I believe Tavsan requires a different process - heap leach and therefore part of the process will be conducted at Tavsan before being trucked to Kiziltepe. hence the capital cost of circa $20m.
3. Kiziltepe capacity- we know we are close to capacity already, but you will have notes that Panmure Gordon again raised the possibility of a second Ball Mill costing circa $1m. I believe the plant would need further spend but potentially output from Kiziltepe could near double I believe for very little cost. A no brainer.
Can anyone comment? Trucking ore in from satellite pits would then make sense.
Hope that adds to the debate.

That’s the one John. Great to be able to see Kerim on the right hand side and the relevant slide to his left. Makes it much easier to follow.

Have you all seen the Brrmedia.co.uk presentation?
Worth a listen.
