"We are pleased to have Peter Chambers join the Asiamet board as a Non-Executive Director at this important time for the Company. Peter brings a strong background in the finance and commercial areas and extensive experience in accounting and audit gained across a range of industries including several companies operating in the Indonesian mining sector.

Having previously worked with Peter on the board of PT Agincourt Resources during EMR Capital's ownership of the Martabe gold mine, I am looking forward to his insightful strategic, commercial and financial contributions as we advance the BKM copper project into production and grow the Asiamet business.
