its audited financial statements for the 12 months ended 31 December 2024
("Financial Statements") as extracted from the Company's 2024 Annual Report
which is now available on the Company website at www.asiametresources.com

Key 2024 Financial and Operational Highlights Include:
BKM Copper Project (Asiamet: 100%)
· Engagement of PT Rexline Engineering Indonesia and BGRIMM Technology
Group as the engineering design and procurement partners for updating the 2024
feasibility study process plant design.
· Released updated project mining and processing physicals
reflecting the change in strategy to focus on higher soluble copper grade
material closer to surface and materially reduce the mining strip ratio:
o 47% decrease in total material mined, from 90.9Mt to 50.5Mt. Life of mine
Strip Ratio reduced from 1.37 to 0.77.
o New open pit design delivers 28.5Mt aligning with new Heap Leach Facility
design capacity.
o New open pit design sits within the 2023 feasibility study pit design and
allows for seamless future expansion of the mine to increase overall copper
production.
· Updated Capital Cost Estimate released in December 2024 delivering an
estimated US$58 million saving.
Corporate:
· The Company successfully raised US$3.55 million in October 2024 via:
o a direct share placement to PT BUMA Internasional Group Tbk (IDX: "DOID")
and management, raising gross proceeds of approximately US$3.295 million; and
o a further US$0.255 million through retail offering.
· The Company appointed Mudit Goenka as Head of Corporate Finance.
· Closure of Asiamet's Melbourne office in Australia.

frequently characterised by words such as "plan", "expect", "project",
"intend", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "suggest", "indicate" and other
similar words or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will"
occur. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to
differ materially from estimated or anticipated events or results implied or
expressed in such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among
others: the actual results of current exploration activities; conclusions of
