  • 1 June 2021 AIM: AAU COMMENCEMENT
    1 June 2021 AIM: AAU COMMENCEMENT OF EASTERN EUROPEAN EXPLORATION Ariana Resources plc (“Ariana” or “the Company”), the AIM-listed exploration and development company operating in Europe, is pleased to announce the commencement of exploration activities in Eastern Europe through its interest in Western Tethyan Resources Ltd (“WTR”). Highlights: • Ariana to hold 75% interest in WTR, following the commitment of at least €100,000 of exploration funding during the remainder of 2021. • Experienced local management team to hold remaining 25% of WTR. • Several exploration licence applications have been submitted in Kosovo and an extensive review of Eastern European project opportunities has commenced. • Assessments of other projects throughout Eastern Europe underway, with a focus on the discovery of major copper-gold systems. • Regional focus for WTR includes project generation across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Serbia. • Via regional partnerships, Ariana has “boots-on-the-ground” reach over 2,500km of some of the most prospective territory for gold, silver and copper deposits in the world. Dr. Kerim Sener, Managing Director, commented: “As part of our long-term diversification strategy, involving investments in focused regional mineral exploration opportunities, Ariana has formally commenced exploration activities in Eastern Europe through its investee company, Western Tethyan Resources Ltd. We know the team at Western Tethyan very well, having worked with them all previously in Turkey and other jurisdictions. Western Tethyan operates out of its office in Pristina, in the Republic of Kosovo, and represents an ideal, centrally-located operational base for our interests across this region, with all national capitals within the easy reach of about 250km.
