Tony Manini, Asiamet Executive Chairman commented: The value we have been able to add through this small and focused drill program at BKZ clearly demonstrates the outstanding upside potential which exists in the Beruang Kanan District. Resources for all base and precious metals contained in the UPZ and LCZ have grown significantly and there is potential for a gold-silver deposit of up to two hundred thousand ounces of gold and 10-20 million ounces of silver. With limited additional drilling and metallurgical test work, we aim to convert a significant portion of this gold-silver Exploration Target into a resource.
Alba Mineral Resources (AIM: ALBA) updated on progress made at its Clogau-St David’s Gold Mine in Wales, including assay results from gold concentrates produced from the processing of 8.76 tonnes of fines material excavated from the Mine’s historic Waste Tip.

Gold concentrate grades of up to 1,000 g/t have been returned following independent assaying of the 81 kg of total gold concentrates produced at the Clogau pilot processing plant from the five pits dug in January 2022 at the Waste Tip, with the average grade of the final high-grade concentrates being 503 g/t.
Chief Executive of @CaracalGoldplc Robbie McCrae, says the company’s current share price of 0.67p undervalues the business considering its aim to produce 24,000oz of gold within twelve months #GCAT https://t.co/rc0VrcsiG9

Power Metal Resources PLC (LON: POW) announces an update in relation to its joint-venture subsidiary New Ballarat Gold Corporation plc, which is focused on the prolific Victorian Goldfields of Australia.
NBGC is a joint-venture held between Power Metal (49.9%) and its partner, London-listed Red Rock Resources plc (50.1%). NBGC has a 100% interest in Red Rock Australasia Pty Ltd (“RRAL”).
Three further exploration licences, EL007330 (202km2), EL007294 (325km2) and EL007507 (9km2), have now been granted, bringing NBGC’s combined footprint in the Victoria Goldfields to 1,832km2. New license grants include EL007330 located northeast of Ballarat, Australia. Significantly, this newly granted licence covers the historical Ajax gold mine which historically produced 312,789oz gold at an average grade of 14.8g/t Au in the 1920s.
Oriole Resources (AIM: ORR), provided an update on its 90%-owned Central Licence Package in Central Cameroon.
The district-scale CLP comprises eight contiguous licences covering 3,592 square kilometres (‘km2’) of previously unexplored Paleo-Proterozoic to Pan-African age rocks that are highly prospective for orogenic-style gold mineralisation.
Shanta Gold Limited (AIM: SHG) West Kenya Drilling Programme Identifies Exceptional High-Grade Areas.
Eric Zurrin, Chief Executive Officer, commented: The latest phase of drilling at West Kenya has continued to deliver outstanding results, ensuring that this remains the most consistently high-grade drilling programme we’ve ever conducted at any asset in Shanta’s history. With visible gold at three of the five holes reported today, and one showcasing grades of 46.7 g/t across a width of 14 metres at less than 150 metres vertical depth, these results are indicative of the vast potential with spectacular grades that West Kenya offers in the Shanta Gold growth story.
Rockfire Resources plc (LON: ROCK), announced a maiden Mineral Resource estimate at its 100%-owned Molaoi zinc deposit in Greece. The Mineral Resource has surpassed all expectations and demonstrates the quality and potential of the project.
David Price, Chief Executive Officer of Rockfire, commented: Our maiden JORC Mineral Resource for Molaoi represents a pivotal milestone for Rockfire. Management considers Molaoi to be an outstanding base metal project, which we hope will grow to a globally significant scale. The quality of the grades and quantity over the first 1,400 m strike extent is testimony to the potential size of Molaoi, particularly if our planned exploration along strike proves to be successful.
We intend to test the entire 7 km of strike which, if similarly mineralised, could potentially result in a resource much larger than the maiden resource. Several historical holes drilled along this 5.5 km extension have intersected high grade zinc, so we know already that zinc is present.
