Ariana Resources plc announced results for its Phase Two drilling programme of 2016, completed in December at the Kiziltepe Project. Kiziltepe is part of the Red Rabbit Joint Venture with Proccea Construction Co. and will be 50% owned by Ariana once the mine is operational in first quarter of 2017. Vein mineralisation intercepted in every drill hole with robust infill drilling results from the south-western end of Arzu Central providing 7m @ 4.00 g/t Au + 27.51 g/t Ag, 12m @ 1.96 g/t Au + 34.45 g/t Ag and 11m @ 1.83 g/t + 45.07 g/t Ag. Newly identified vein system within Arzu Central provides results including 11m @ 0.95 g/t Au + 35.91 g/t Ag and 2m @ 1.64 g/t Au + 35.70 g/t Ag. Arsenopyrite-rich style of mineralisation encountered c.70m from a previous bonanza-grade hole (12.1m @ 13.1 g/t Au+ 188 g/t Ag) provides an intercept of 11m @ 2.24 g/t Au + 11.06 g/t Ag. South-eastern extension of Arzu North provides results including 8m @ 1.14 g/t Au + 15.64 g/t Ag, 2m @ 1.01 g/t Au + 17.50 g/t Ag and 1m @ 1.86 g/t Au + 46.30 g/t Ag. Substantial scope to identify further mineralised veins in the Arzu Central area; system represents a structural splay which widens towards Arzu North and Derya.
