"Having recently spent time in London attending the Mines and Money conference and engaging directly with several of our long-term shareholders, I am very positive about the future of Asiamet and the platform we are developing to supply energy transition metals to the Asian market.
"The BKM copper project is one of the very few advanced, near-term construction copper projects in the region and our focus remains on finalising all workstreams to the necessary level of detail needed to deliver a robust feasibility study outcome. The BKM Copper project coupled with BKZ polymetallic resources, and large Beutong copper resource provides excellent optionality to grow the company into the future. With a supportive major shareholder who shares the vision of the need for responsible supply of energy transition metals to key markets in Asia, the future is bright for Asiamet."
