[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 1143X Asiamet Resources Limited 21 November 2017 \n\n \n \n \nAsiamet Intersects Further High-Grade Zn-Pb-Ag at BKZ Deposit\n \n \nAsiamet Resources Limited (\"ARS\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that ongoing exploration drilling at the BKZ Polymetallic (\"BKZ\") prospect located on its Kalimantan Surya Kencana (\"KSK\") 6th Generation Contract of Work (\"CoW\"), in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia continues to intersect shallow, thick, high-grade base and precious metal-rich mineralisation. Highlights of the latest batch of drill results received are: \n \n\n\n\n\nBKZ33750-03\n\n\n21.5m at 9.1% Zn, 3.9% Pb, 365g/t Ag, 0.19% Cu and 0.30g/t Au (from 22.5m)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIncludes 9.0m at 13.1% Zn, 5.9% Pb, 817g/t Ag, 0.32% Cu and 0.36g/t Au (from 22.5m) \n\n\n\n\nThe hole intersected the highest silver grades seen to date including a 3m interval assaying 2,101g/t Ag. \n \nDrilling Details\nThe third hole on section line BKZ33750 was drilled westward to confirm continuity of mineralisation between section lines BKM323700 and BKM33750 where hole BKZ33750-02 intersected a broad zone of polymetallic mineralisation from 1.7m depth hosted in quartz-sulphide veins to semi-massive sulphides (refer ARS Press Release November 1, 2017). BKZ33750-03 (87.5m EOH) was collared 40m east of BKM33750-02 and intersected quartz-sulphide veins to semi-massive sphalerite (zinc), galena (lead), chalcopyrite (copper) and pyrite mineralisation from 22.5m depth (Figure 2).\nContinuity of the BKZ polymetallic mineralisation has been confirmed over a strike length of 225m and remains open to the north, south and east.\nSummary\nWith the continued success of the BKZ exploration drilling, the Company has opted to expand the programme by six holes, or approximately 600 metres. The initial programme comprised a total of 14 holes for 1,354 metres of diamond core drilling. The exp...
