This is not an opinion, it is fact. I first bought AAU in July 2022 at 3.18p/share when gold was at c.1,700 USD. Today with the bid at c.1.85 I am down nearly 60% while the gold price at c. 2,600 is up 70 per cent approx. AAU share price linked to the price of gold? I don't think so. Gla.

Yup, there is no relationship between AAU share price and gold.Until there is!And that will be when Tavsan is producing,Or Slivova is producing or Dokwe is producing!Three or four producing gold mines is not common buddy, market will adjust!.This year, next year, year after, it WILL ADJUST!.Unless you think two producing gold mines was just a fluke?

Shortarm,

Of course you can wish for a higher gold price. However, despite what you would like to believe, there is no correlation between an increase in the gold price and Ariana's share price. I proved it mathematically on here in December 2021 and my post today was just a confirmation of that.

In the past two years whilst the price of gold has kept increasing, the share price of Ariana has kept decreasing.

It shouldn't be like that, but the figures do not lie.

Shortarm,

Be careful what you wish for.

4 years ago, AAU share price was 6p and Gold was 2,000.

Today, AAU share price is 1.8p and Gold is 2,583.

Couldn't agree more bigglesbingham, especially about new and long term investors.
The danger is not the gold price, its not the quality of (most) of the assets.
The problem is that AAU needs working capital and to raise it at this valuation through a placing on ASX would be insane. I don't like debt on the balance sheet but between that and a placing at this price its a no brainer.
AAU are great geologists but their record on business understanding and the markets is poor. Now I can forgive that for Kerim Sener, he is a geologist first and foremost. Admittedly that opinion does call into question if he really should be CEO. But what is unforgivable is that the Chairman seems to have no idea about business either, with a whole career behind him at several companies providing him with varied experience and a background in finance as, I believe, an accountant? Words really fail me, we should have someone more able, I'm hoping the new Board members, who must also be horrified by the share price decline, will make a difference. It's not evident yet. This share hit 7p 4 years ago. It hit 3.05 on 23rd May this year. PoG is $2525 as I post, up from $1900 a year ago. You couldn't make this up.

I agree with a lot of that jaf.
Sener himself has backtracked in recent interviews about post Tavsan dividends. Now there are logical reasons for that
1) AAU isn't that flush with cash for working capital, bearing mind it has to eke out the dwindling cash position it still retains from the Ozaltin deal. AAU no longer controls any productive asset whatsoever that currently provides a cash flow.
2)AAU, even in concert with Proccea, is outvoted in the Zenit JV. AAU (and Proccea) will only received dividends from Zenit if Ozaltin agrees. If Ozaltin decides to divert surplus JV funds solely to development of other assets held by the JV then AAU is in no position to force the issue.
3) The enlarged AAU is spending money in Zimbabwe. What happens if AAU runs out of working capital? Even if it is allowed a dividend from the current JV why would they then restrict their working capital by giving its shareholders dividends? In other words what business sense is there in distributing dividends and then having to borrow from the market at current interest rates?

My working assumption at the moment is that there will not be dividends paid to AAU shareholders for several years, even though Sener keeps claiming that AAU is dividend paying. In fact it would be poor management for AAU to pay them as it could well mean taking on debt at the company level to provide working capital.

Hi Bigglesbingham
Lots of posts today!
Like you I have a finance background, mine in investments for Life and Pensions companies, obviously fixed rate as well as equity. The profile of types of investment is of course different, L&P don’t tend to buy tiny AIM listed gold miners! However it does explain my approach and what some perceive as negativity. As an employee you have to be dispassionate, that is made easier as it’s not actually your money being invested and hard decisions are easier to make. When you invest for yourself the relationship with the share is more personal. So I am caught a bit in the middle, dispassionate but at the same time it’s my money that is at risk.
Agree with you about financing at these depressed levels, the dilution would be unacceptable. The immediate driver for an initial ASX listing seems to be exposure to a wider audience rather than the need to raise significant cash. The latter requirement for Dokwe, unless a JV is formed to develop, is surely some time away.
I am incidentally a supporter of Dokwe even though it has raised the risk profile. Zimbabwe is trying to raise its International profile and hopefully that means they will do nothing to put that in doubt. I am pleased about the new members to the Board as they have not only a strong mining and business background but also have a large shareholding which they can use in what should hopefully be in PIs interests, many of whom are of similar age and hence priorities.
I don’t think we will see £3k PoG soon, indeed I hope we don’t in some respects as that may be driven by unfortunate international events. Falling interest rates should provide some support for PoG at current levels. Where we do disagree is that you believe PoG is not that relevant to share price Likely cost of production and PoG and hence margin is, all other things being equal, crucial to influencing the profitability, or potential profitability, of producer and explorer alike. Was interested to see the word ‘takeover̵7; mentioned, I know you are closer to the philosophy and strategy of the Board than the rest of us. That outcome within a few years would be acceptable to me! Lastly it is also true that small companies share prices can be significantly over or under priced as they are driven by what I would call sentiment rather than larger companies like Anglo or Newmont which are investigated ever which way by a dozen independent analysts, so their share price is likely a true appraisal.
Sorry that was longer than planned.

I believe it would be in same place , currently I think the gold price is an irrelevance when we produce so little. This can be borne out by correlation between share price and gold price. Gold price affects producers more because they have All in cost and any increase is on their bottom line. Explorers not so much. Where it will come in is when tarsvan starts producing and Dowke progress. Then it will be a game changer and very quickly. Those having the balls to invest during these times won't be disappointed in my view. Particularly with a two year timeframe. Get gilt to $3000 then you will see a spike in explorers share price All in my view.

Our projects are at differing stages, my guess is that we are at the equivalent of the end of Orphan.

Only my guess mind, other may have different view.

My time scale for aau share price to deliver the profit I want is up to 8 years but preferably 5. i may take some profits earlier, should they present themselves.

plasybryn, i'm stating the obvious when i say the company changed when they bought dokwe. until then the big one was salinbas and a number of smaller assets, mostly early stage with the exception of tavsan (and apliki but for all we know that has 'gone away'). salinbas is 23.5% owned so development costs also 23.5%.

now there is dokwe. it is 100% owned. this is a very big deal for a company of aau's dimensions.
it could make it or break it.
the breaking could happen at various pinch points along the way, the making is many years away. in other words until dokwe is delivered aau is now carrying a massive risk which was not there prior to dokwe.

company is silent on strategy and next steps (your points) across all assets.
the only visibility is tavsan production early 2025.

number of shares has increased so every value add step has a smaller per share impact. and number of shares will be increased again for asx listing but no indication of numbers/pricing.

any potential investor looking at this will see the impending finance raise for dokwe and the impending increase in shares for asx listing.

short/medium term, a significant increase in pog may help the share price along but tavsan excepted there seems to be nothing which could raise the share price but a number of issues which could drop the share price

long term (what's that? another 5 to 10 years) aau could do well but that's not a given.

if i were a prospective investor i'd stay away for now.

mine are in bottom drawer.
