About Ariana Resources:

Ariana is an AIM-listed mineral exploration and development company operating in Europe with an exceptional track-record of creating value for its shareholders through its interests in active mining projects and investments in exploration companies. Its current interests include gold exploration, development and production in Turkey and copper-gold exploration and development projects in Cyprus. 

The Company holds a 23.5% interest in Zenit Madencilik San. ve Tic.
