An announcement from Ariana Resources ( (GB:AAU) ) is now available.

Ariana Resources has reported further strong assay results from its 2025-2026 reverse circulation drilling campaign at the 1.1Moz Dokwe Gold Project in Zimbabwe, with high-grade intercepts at Dokwe North confirming continuity of mineralisation beyond the current resource model. The programme, expanded to 5,659 metres across 31 holes, indicates significant potential for near-surface oxide resource growth up to 150 metres northeast of the existing resource envelope.

Key intercepts, including 4 metres at 16.90 grams per tonne gold and 10 metres at 7.67 grams per tonne, underscore the strength of the shear-hosted gold system and support expectations of a larger, higher-quality resource base. Ariana will now move into a targeted phase-two diamond drilling programme at Dokwe North in late March to refine structural interpretations, test strike and depth extensions and underpin a potential JORC resource review, which could enhance the project’s scale and strategic importance for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AAU) stock is a Hold with a £2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ariana Resources stock, see the GB:AAU Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:AAU Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:AAU is a Neutral.

The score is held down mainly by weak underlying financial performance—ongoing operating losses and structurally negative operating/free cash flow—despite a relatively low-leverage balance sheet. Technical indicators are supportive with price above key moving averages and positive MACD, providing a partial offset. Valuation is moderate based on the provided P/E, with no dividend yield data to support the case.
