Additional BFS drilling results further strengthen BKM
Resource
Asiamet Resources Limited ("ARS" or the "Company") is pleased to
report that additional assay results received from the infill and
geotechnical drilling as part of the Bankable Feasibility Study
("BFS") on the Beruang Kanan Main ("BKM") copper deposit located in
Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. These results confirm expectations
and further strengthen the robustness of the BKM Resource
models.
A total of 37 Resource evaluation holes and four geotechnical
holes for 5,665 metres of diamond core drilling have been completed
with assays from 32 drill holes received to date. The Company
anticipates receiving results from the remaining nine holes before
the end of March 2019. Once all assay data has been received,
Resource models will be updated and used to generate first Ore
Reserves for the BKM copper project.
Highlights from the most recent drilling include:
BKM31550-06 19.00 metres at 1.16% Cu from 72.5 metres depth
-- Including 5.00 metres at 1.43% Cu from 82.50 metres depth
-- Including 2.00 metres at 2.61% Cu from 89.50 metres depth
BKM31550-09 27.00 metres at 0.67% Cu from 57.50 metres depth
-- Including 3.00 metres at 2.15% Cu from 80.50 metres depth
BKM31630-01 14.00 metres at 0.81% Cu from 15.00 metres depth
7.00 metres at 0.97% Cu from 57.50 metres depth
20.00 metres at 1.10% Cu from 100.00 metres depth
-- Including 6.00 metres at 2.04% Cu from 113.00 metres depth
BKM32490-02 3.00 metres at 0.68% Cu from 8.00 metres depth
38.50 metres at 1.01% Cu from 22.00 metres depth
-- Including 9.00 metres at 2.86% Cu from 33.00 metres depth
33.00 metres at 0.63% Cu from 69.5 metres depth
-- Including 8.00 metres at 1.14% Cu from 89.50 metres depth
16.00 metres at 0.63% Cu from 144.00 metres depth
-- Including 4.00 metres at 1.32% Cu from 156.00 metres depth
Full assay results are provided in Table 1 and a drill hole
location plan is shown in figure 1 below.

Resource infill holes BKM31500-06, BKM31500-07, BKM31550-06,
BKM31550-08, BKM31550-09, BKM31630-01, BKM31630-02, BKM31550-11 and
BKM31600-08 drilled in the southern area of the current proposed
open pit continued to intersect zones of covellite/bornite
mineralisation associated with quartz and pyrite veining. Hole
BKM31500-07 drilled at the southern edge of the proposed open pit
intersected narrow zones of high-grade mineralisation comprising
covellite and minor chalcopyrite.
Resource infill holes BKM32400-12, BKM32450-11, BKM32490-02,
BKM32540-02, BKM31315-01 and BKM 32365-02 and BKM31550-11 drilled
at the northern area of the current proposed open pit continued to
intersect broad intervals of near-surface high-grade
mineralisation. Hole BKM32400-12 (180.90m) intersected broad
intervals of strong mineralisation grading 1.22% Cu to the bottom
of hole. Mineralisation remains open at depth.
Peter Bird, Asiamet Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The additional program of thirty-seven Resource evaluation and
four geotechnical drilling required for the BKM BFS have been
completed on schedule. The results received to date align well with
expectations and further strengthen the robustness of our Resource
models as we move into the final phase of mine and process design
to generate an initial Ore Reserve for the BKM project. Results
from the final nine holes will be reported as they become available
later this month.
Upside potential in and around the BKM deposit remains very high
and an external geological consultant with extensive experience in
Indonesia has recently been engaged to further strengthen our
understanding of the BKM geological system and develop a suite of
additional high potential near mine Resource targets for testing in
the next round of drilling. This work is currently under way and we
look forward to providing an update on this target generation
program shortly."

outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that
are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity
to be reasonably assumed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Inferred Resource" An "Inferred Mineral Resource" is that part of a Mineral
Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can
be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and
limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified,

appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops,
trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Induced Polarisation Induced polarisation (IP) is a geophysical survey used

electric current that is transmitted into the subsurface
through two electrodes, and voltage is monitored through
two other electrodes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"intercept" Refers to a sample or sequence of samples taken across
the entire width or an ore body or mineralised zone.
The intercept is described by the entire thickness and
the average grade of mineralisation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mlbs" Million pounds (measure of weight)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
