Ariana Resources (AAU LN) - Slivova update - Corporate
Ariana today reports it has finalised the earn-in for 51% of the Slivova gold-silver project in Kosovo following an investment of €0.8m through its holding in Western Tethyan Resources – WTR – owned by Ariana 76%. WTR can earn up to 85% of the project following delivery of a Feasibility Study and EIA. We feel it’s time to remind investors just what Slivova is. Zeus sees it as a small, potentially profitable project – the likes of which have been very successful for Ariana in Turkey.
