INVESTOR RELATIONS APP

Ariana Resources plc ("Ariana" or "the Company"), the Anglo-Turkish gold exploration and development company focused on Turkey, is pleased to announce the launch of an investor relations mobile app for shareholders and other followers of the Company. The mobile app is now available free of charge.

Dr. Kerim Sener, Managing Director, commented:

"We welcome the opportunity to introduce a new mobile app for Ariana shareholders reflecting the increased influence and power of smartphones and mobile apps.

"Smartphones are in very wide use today and research has shown people are keen on the simple one-click access to information offered by mobile apps. It is generally more convenient and faster to check a share price or read an announcement if it is delivered via mobile app, as opposed to utilising the Internet.

"We think the app will not only be well-received and utilised by Ariana shareholders, but also by our Directors and employees, journalists, fund managers, analysts, stockbrokers and anyone else who follows our business. We also expect that the new app will very quickly be an essential element of our shareholder communication programme."

Investor Relations App

The Ariana investor relations app has been developed by ShareholderApp for all smart phones, and is now available to download free of charge. The app delivers a broad range of investor relations-focused information for shareholders and other followers of the Company. Just some of the content includes:

• Daily trading information

• Company announcements and regulatory filings

• Gold and silver prices

• Charts and other deeper trading information

• Interim and Annual Financial Reports

• Company presentations, research reports and quarterly newsletters

To download the app, smart phone users simply need to visit Apple's App Store or, for android handsets, the Google Play Store. Search for 'Ariana Resources IR'.
