[{"type":"text","content":"\n Asiamet Expands Footprint of High Grade Polymetallic Mineralisation in BK DistrictSystematic mapping and channel sampling of outcropping massive sulphide mineralisation was completed by Asiamet Resources Limited (\"Asiamet\" or the \"Company\") mid-April at the BKZ prospect in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. BKZ is located 800m north of Asiamet's core BKM Copper Project where bankable feasibility studies are well advanced. Results received to date show the potential for a stand alone polymetallic deposit at BKZ. Highlights from this recent work include:A continuous 15m rock channel sample collected in the southern part of the BKZ prospect averaged 19.5% Zinc, 8.1% Lead, 121g/t Silver, 0.69g/t Gold and 0.50% Copper (rock saw sampling at one-metre intervals)Individual one-metre rock channel samples collected from three separate locations over the mineralised strike extent outlined to date returned up to: 24.2% Zinc, 14.4% Lead, 0.83% Cu, 86g/t Silver and 0.24g/t Gold17.7% Zinc, 16.6% Lead, 0.23% Cu, 174g/t Silver and 1.34g/t Gold7.6% Zinc, 6.1% Lead, 0.10% Cu, 246g/t Silver and 0.36g/t GoldExcellent potential to identify additional polymetallic mineralisation along strike associated with a well defined coincident zinc-lead -copper in soil anomaly measuring 400 x 200m.Drill holes and surface sampling of massive sulphide-bearing outcrops confirm mineralisation is near surface and has at least 150m of strike extent Additional high grade polymetallic mineralisation was also mapped and sampled to the immediate south of BKM Copper deposit with rock chips assaying to 35.6% Zinc, 26.2% Lead, 2.94% Copper, 1.0g/t Gold and 3440g/t SilverA total of 53 rock chip channel samples collected in the vicinity of historical drill hole BKZ-1 (123.1m End of Hole 'EOH') which intersected 16m @ 5.75% Zinc, 2.78% Lead, 0.16% Copper, 0.64g/t Gold and 57.5g/t Silver from 6m depth (refer ARS Release October 21, 2015). Channel samples were taken within a mapped area measuring 300m x 300m area and the discovery of new massive sulphide-bearing outcrops confirms a strike length of at least 150 metres. Summary channel sample results (see Table 1 below) confirm the high grade polymetallic nature of the BKZ mineralised system, with up to 37% combined Lead-Zinc over 1-metre sample intervals. The true width and thickness of the high grade mineral...
