Quite a turnaround. It's as though everyday we wait to see what happens in the States and when the sky doesn't fall we breathe a sigh of relief and resume!

A couple of the biggest risers in that article are on the back of the Vanadium price increase rather than copper related. King River Copper is an excellent example. It may say 'copper' but it has a large, low grade Vanadium resource and Vanadium has sparked large increases on the ASX in recent months.

Nthoftheriver, Indeed. And should indicate nice surprises rather than nasty ones! I suspect that this area of drilling is where the starter pit will be. I would love to know the size and average grade of this zone as it does suggest that production will get off to a pretty good start. Considering that start up phases tend to be the most risky, that would be a great boost to the operation.

I can't claim to be knowledgeable but I do claim never to have seen 25% copper stated over any kind of interval before. I look forward to seeing where these drill holes are as there seems to be a pocket of very high mineralisation here, which will presumably will be targeted first during production. Doesn't change a lot for the overal containedl tonnage but does mean that we are likely to be pleasantly surprised occasionally if this is typical of the area as a whole.

Yes, I know. Sorry! Baroi is the one that really interests me but I spent a while looking at BK today and it just hits you in the face all the time what a multifaceted and large potential region of mineralisation this is. The polymetallic zone to the south of BKM could well make BKZ look mundane!

Just spent some (more) time looking over the Beruang Kenan soil images for both copper and zinc: http://www.asiametresources.com/i/maps/2017-02-23_NR-j3uwna-figure-01.jpg http://www.asiametresources.com/i/pdf/2017-06-09-23_fig.jpeg The more I look at it, the more this area looks like pockets of polymetallic mineralisation sitting on top of a copper ore body that covers a great deal of the BK district. If you look at the zinc imagery, BKZ looks like a small outcropping and yet could be $500-1000m of contained metal. Compare it to the 'new' polymetallic zone to the south of BKM which looks more interesting. But there are other targets in BKW as well which also look interesting. Now look at the copper imagery. Apart from the BKM known deposit there appear to be equally interesting targets in BKW and BKS. Consider the size of the resource at BKM (at 0.5% cut off, a total resource of 340k tonnes contained copper) which gives an idea of the potential of the other targets and the prospect of a body that underpins the district. Now consider that this is just BK: http://www.asiametresources.com/s/Maps.asp?ReportID=713923&_Title=Prospects-Location I think that we are moving into exciting times with the drilling at Beutong and further drilling at BKS and other KSK prospects. I can't wait to see drill results from the new targets on KSK. Exciting times ahead.

Which is why I welcome contrary arguments as long as they are well reasoned. All companies have positives and negatives but you are right - it is difficult to be wholly objective when you own shares in the company as by definition you view the positives as outweighing the negatives over the time frame that is important to you.

I have little time for writers whose primary means of communication is to insult or belittle others which is precisely what a number of people on that site, particularly TW, do. Reasoned argument isn't that difficult if you actually have one. Resorting to insults just shows the paucity of the argument. Glad to hear that you covered BMN as a buy. I hope that you followed your own advice as you would now be up by 400% and considering the recent news and rise in the Vanadium price, I expect that you will see more. Good to see that you are similarly covering ARS. The KSK district is looking more and more interesting. Judging by previous results, Baroi has the potential to make BK look like a low grade deposit.

Incredible results. Up to 40% combined lead/zinc in the polymetallic zone and the copper grades look great for a feeder structure that really does look like it is common to both BKM and BKZ. If the latter really is the case then that would imply that mineralisation zone for the copper is quite extensive. Given that these zones are also open in multiple directions, the mind begins to wonder just how big this mineralisation zone is. Whilst the BKM fs should indicate good economics, adding interesting these results would suggest that they will improve significantly.

I think when a lot of people talk of a takeover here it is out of fear that it will happen too low but it is always interesting to see what is happening elsewhere. The latest reported takeover is for a company that is a little ahead of us in the development lifecycle but their assets are not at the same level as ours. Their production asset is a lot smaller than BKM whereas their larger, prospective asset is about 50% bigger than BKM. They do not have anything like Beutong. As such, I would expect in a couple of years that we would be ahead of this takeover purely on current assets. By that time I would hope to have a clearer understanding of what else KSK has to offer, for example at Baroi, as well as a deeper (pun intended) understanding of Beutong. My hope is that Beutong would have been moved on to a sufficient extent that it is either sold or JV'd so that there is sufficient funding to really advance KSK but the company looks to be moving more towards BKM funding development once in production.

I would say that he knows how to identify a fraud. He labelled BMN as a clear sell but couldn't have been more wrong and it appeared part of a concerted programme by him and his cronies to short the shares (normally I would dismiss a lot of the talk of shorts on AIM shares but in this case the people involved openly admitted it). I think he over estimates his abilities in many ways and picking winners is far from his strong suit.

Well, whilst they are, on the whole, pretty appalling share tipsters, GN is not so bad. If it was TW, that is pretty much a guaranteed 'sell' signal.

I believe that I warned you not to expect much when you came on board OLI12. I think all current investors arrive like you, thinking how ridiculous the discount to current assets is and that surely they must do something with the cash. I know I did. But after a while you start realising that they don't really appear interested in doing anything but you'll keep the money in just in case. After all, it is not such a huge amount and one day, who knows? They may actually do something. Welcome to the world of Ovoca investing. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!

Another significant addition to the team and it doesn't take too much thought to suggest various ways in which he could be of use. We could also do with someone buying shares as well!

Good news indeed. I suspect that they will be able to bring on one of their assets independentltso this is significant.

Indeed, this is good news and ticks another box in the development path. The change in the royalties is interesting as well, with risk alignment of the company and the Indonesian government, although this is likely to be at the expense of higher royalties in a strong metals market (but the economics of the mine are compelling enough to ensure that, at this point, profitability should be strong). Clearly this was expected. Roll on the DFS.

The presentation has only just come out! The price downturn has coincided with general market uncertainty - nothing more sinister. But even your comment suggests that production starts in 2020 whereas the presentation states 15kt copper to be produced in 2019. Some clarification would be good and I will contact the company to find out whether there is an error or, if not, how they expect to produce such a large amount in a partial year.

I like to look at facts, positive or negative. The fact being that the most recent presentation says that production at BKM is scheduled for H219 and 'late' 2019 and that production will be 15kt copper. The current management have a lot of credit for me so I am not overly concerned but this is inconsistent. During a ramp up you would expect production to be initially lower whereas these statements would suggest 2019 production running at a higher run rate than subsequently. Believe it or not, you can still be positive about a company whilst questioning aspects of what is in the public domain.

Mikebassetts, To suggest I am deramping is ridiculous. They are certainly working on the basis of a starter pit but this will not be capable of producing 15kt copper in 2019 unless they start producing significantly earlier than late 2019 as is currently envisaged. Anyway, for me it is not a particular issue as I had not envisaged significant production until 2020. The assets in their current state and the prospectivity justify a market cap uplift on their own.

One thing pointed out on the other site is that the latest presentation suggests a production of 15kt copper in 2019 (page 16). I have to say that I don't think that this is likely and is not consistent with a late 2019 production start (it would have to be in H1 to achieve that).
