“Laos is located towards the eastern end of the continental Tethyan Metallogenic Belt, which constitutes a series of amalgamated metallogenic arcs across the Indochina Peninsula. In more detail, the geology of Laos comprises two major trends of gold mineralization, each displaying multi-million-ounce potential,” said Dr. Kerim Sener, Managing Director, Ariana Resources in a statement.
“We intend to continue growing the fund’s portfolio to provide Ariana shareholders with further exposure to exciting, high-value potential projects across the Eastern Hemisphere.”
