Resource Growth Potential Identified at Dokwe
Ariana Resources PLC has announced positive assay results from its 2025-2026 Reverse Circulation drilling program at the Dokwe Gold Project in Zimbabwe, confirming gold mineralization extends at least 150 meters beyond the current resource envelope at Dokwe North and remains open along strike. Key intercepts include 22m at 1.49 g/t Au from 111m and 8m at 1.20 g/t Au from 65m, with mineralization also identified at Dokwe Central and potential at the Sinkwe Prospect. These results warrant an update to the Dokwe JORC Resource in the second half of 2026, with follow-up diamond drilling planned to further assess the extent of the mineralization. Disclaimer*

This mineralisation also occurs in the weathered zone and represents mate...
