Asiamet Resources CEO Tony Manini commented:

“We are delighted by the support shown by existing and new shareholders as we progress the BKM project through the development cycle. Having recently completed the Resource update for BKM the focus of our work immediately moves to the PEA which is expected to be completed in early 2016. This is an exciting time for Asiamet and we look forward to reporting on the various individual elements of the PEA as they become available, together with progress on the conversion of our licences and various corporate initiatives aimed at adding value for shareholders. A strong ongoing news flow can be expected”
