Asiamet intersects strong Gold-Silver at BKZ Copper-Zinc-Precious Metals
Deposit

 

Asiamet Resources Limited ("Asiamet" or the "Company") is pleased to announce
further strong results from recent drilling completed as part of the Company's
2021 Resource extension program at the BKZ deposit located on its KSK Contract
of Work (KSK CoW) in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Drilling at BKZ continues to return high grade Zinc-Lead-Copper-Silver-Gold
(Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au) mineralisation and most recently also intersected strong
gold-silver dominant mineralisation immediately to the east and below the base
metal horizons including 29m at 4.59g/t Au, 161g/t Ag.

All holes completed in the current program have intersected significant
mineralization and expanded the BKZ Mineral Resource envelope which remains
open in several directions. Mineralisation is shallow and projects from near
surface down to approximately 200m. Results are pending on a further five
holes.

The Company is confident that ongoing drilling will continue to expand the
mineral inventory and economic value of the KSK licence and as such the drill
program has now been expanded from 3,000 metres to 4,500 metres to further
follow up some of the key high-grade trends observed.

 

Assay result highlights for recently completed drill holes:

·      BKZ33500-02

·     10.2 metres @ 6.8% Zn, 2.3% Pb, 41g/t Ag from 71.8 metres

·     7 metres @ 1.0% Cu, 47g/t Ag, from 184.5 metres

 

Tony Manini, Executive Chairman of Asiamet Resources commented:

"The 2021 Resource expansion program has significantly exceeded our
expectations. As drilling continues to deliver exceptional high-grade zinc and
copper dominant polymetallic results which expand the current BKZ Resource
envelope, the recent discovery of strong precious metals consistent with
zonation commonly observed in other gold rich VHMS systems, provides strong
supporting evidence that the BKZ and BKM deposits are part of a single 3km
long VHMS system which will continue to grow. Most importantly these results
provide significant optionality for a longer mine life which further enhances
the value of the BKM project and the wider KSK Contract of Work."

 

 

BKZ Drilling

 

Following on from the previously reported (see news release 19 October 2021)
drill hole assay results intersected on sections 9933550N, 9933650N, 9933700N
and 9933750N, drilling continues to return impressive results which expand the
Resource envelope at the BKZ polymetallic VHMS deposit. Significant assay
results are reported in this release from sections 9933500N, 9933600N,
9933650N and 9933750N. Three distinct styles of mineralisation have now been
intersected at BKZ.

 

1.   Upper Polymetallic Zinc-Lead-Silver+/-Copper mineralisation

The Upper Polymetallic Zinc-Lead-Silver mineralisation is hosted in bedded
sediments overlying the Lower Copper-Silver Mineralised horizon and was
intersected in drillholes BKZ33600-07 (6m @12.7% Zn, 4.3% Pb, 0.54% Cu, 162g/t
Ag) BKZ33500-02 (10.2m @6.8% Zn, 2.3% Pb, 41g/t Ag), BKZ33650 -09 (7m @ 3.67%
Zn, 1.86% Pb, 61g/t Ag), BKZ33750-08 (7m@3.6 % Zn, 1.1% Pb, 43g/t Ag)

 

2.   Lower Copper Mineralisation

The copper rich part of VHMS deposits is generally interpreted to be part of
the structurally controlled feeder to mineralization and is typically
comprised of stockwork quartz, pyrite and chalcopyrite copper mineralisation.
The Lower Copper zone at BKZ was intersected in drillholes BKZ33600-07 and
BKZ33500 -03 which reported 18m@1.28% Cu, 1.06% Pb, 12g/t Ag, 0.23g/t Au and
25m@2.06% Cu, 9g/t Ag (Figure 1) respectively.

3.   Gold-Silver Mineralisation

A new style of gold-silver mineralisation was intersected immediately to the
east of the Upper Zinc Lead Silver and Lower Copper mineralisation in drill
holes BKZ33650-09 and BKZ33750-08. Hole BKZ33650-09 intersected 29m @ 4.59g/t
Au, 161 g/t Ag, 0.74% Pb, 66 g/t Mo from 157.5m and 9.1m @ 0.97g/t Au, 31g/t
Ag from 190.5m. BKZ33750-08 intersected 73.4 metres @ 0.65g/t Au, 64g/t Ag,
0.66% Pb % Zn, from 127m. Refer figures 2 and 3 below.
