Asiamet Resources PLC (LON:ARS) has commenced drilling on the readily accessible BKZ prospect in Indonesia, a stand-alone high value polymetallic target, located less than 800 meters north of the feasibility-stage BKM copper deposit.
A total five holes are planned and first assays are expected by end September.

BKZ is the first of multiple copper and polymetallic targets to be drill tested over the coming months as feasibility studies are being completed at BKM.
Access into drill targets at BKW and BKS is currently being prepared.
Priority drill targets in the BK district have been generated using a combination of geological mapping, rock/soil geochemical sampling and Induced Polarisation geophysics.
Drilling at BKM in the past 2-3 years has clearly shown mineralisation is commonly associated with highly elevated copper in soil geochemistry co-incident with a well-defined near surface IP geophysics response.

Asiamet has also recently completed mapping and sampling south of the proposed BKM open pit to follow up a significant area of copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold mineralisation.
“Having recently returned from a visit to the BKM Project site I can reaffirm that the potential for additional copper and polymetallic mineralisation within the KSK Contract of Work appears exceptional,” said Asiamet chief executive Peter Bird.
