[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 7790Z Asiamet Resources Limited 19 December 2017 \n\n \n \nFor Immediate Release London AIM\n \n19 December 2017 Symbol: ARS\n \n \n \n \nBKM Copper Project - Positive Metallurgical Test-work Results \n \nAsiamet Resources Limited (\"ARS\") is pleased to report positive results from column leach test-work being undertaken as part of the Bankable Feasibility Study on the Beruang Kanan Main (\"BKM\") copper deposit. The metallurgical results received to date are in line with previous expectations as outlined in the BKM Preliminary Economic Assessment (as announced on 5th April 2016). These results will form the basis for the key inputs into the detailed design criteria for the leaching, solvent extraction and electro-winning facilities. Key highlights include:\n· Following a 200-day leach cycle that applied a typical acidic leach solution to the short columns (2m), the majority of the soluble copper as determined by sequential copper analysis was recovered (see summary ranges of results in the following bullet point). The amount of soluble copper present in the residual material (post-leaching) for most columns was less than 0.1% Cusol, \n· Soluble copper recoveries, for the preferred crush size (P80=12.5mm), ranged from 73% to 89% (%Cusol) with recoveries for the composites representing a significant proportion of the orebody being in the 80% to 85% Cusol range. \n·  ...
