Ariana Resources PLC - exploration firm with interests in Turkey - Posts a pretax profit of £7.7 million in 2021, up 51% from £5.1 million the previous year. Company says the main driver of this increase was the partial disposal of its interest in Turkey in February. Ariana reduced its 50% interest in the Kiziltepe mine and 100% interest in the Salinbas project to a collective 24%. Looking forward, company aims to advance its long-term interest in south-eastern Europe and to start investing in ‘high-impact early-stage exploration opportunities’.
