Ariana Resources, a UK-listed mining company, is targeting first gold production from its Dokwe gold project in Zimbabwe in 2028, according to a report by the African News Agency. The mine is currently in the development stage, with the company having set a clear timeline for commissioning.
Dokwe is one of Ariana's key gold development assets in southern Africa. The projected 2028 production start would add a new source of primary gold supply from Zimbabwe, a country that continues to attract mining investment despite broader operational challenges.
The company has not yet disclosed detailed capex or output forecasts for the project. The announcement confirms the project is advancing toward construction as Ariana looks to expand its production base beyond its existing operations.
