Asiamet Resources Limited (AIM: ARS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Grant Samuel as its financial adviser to lead the strategic investor engagement process for the development of the BKM Stage 1 Copper Project in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia (the "Project").
Grant Samuel is a market leader in providing advisory and execution expertise across M&A, debt, equity, and valuations.

Grant Samuel's specialist knowledge and deep network across the Australian and Asian mining industries make it a highly qualified partner to support Asiamet at this stage of project development.
The strategic partner process will focus on engaging with qualified parties who can add value to the development of BKM Stage 1.
