Member Info for updo

...Overwhelming support was received by from the local community...(from day one should be added)
This relationship has underpinned the incoming success..Don't deny them their just reward...don't sell cheap or better
IMO don't sell until it fully materialise.
Good luck

..saying it is a master stroke is baloney. Masterstroke would have indeed be if Tony had anticipated the Cu price correction and waited before announcing any BFS date. (who on earth could have seen it coming?) He was simply reacting and it looks like good fortune is smiling upon him. Good for him and all of us lets say.
No question that Tony and his team are much more professional and focused than previous mgt .
However Tony is a 4-pound tested line as in my view at the big pond like the OX he was not at the helm.
Can he now land the red tuna that he has hooked? I truly hope he has it in him and can deliver... then lets
all the accolade flow.

It looks like Tony by chance and circumstance ( and so all of us) is in luck. The timely rise of the Cu price and the postponing of the BFS could simply be a blessing . As this venture has been going on for a very very long time it is perfectly fine if People trust and believe that they will soon start to make money by having invested in Asiamet. Personally, I did not invested in Asiamet but its predecessor. I would be very surprised if there are no more twists and turns on the horizon.
Baroi might not be the last nor the largest of deposits in wait. Is something causing the delaying in their discoveries I ask myself?

Beutong and/or KSK or the potential to be a game changer in the region? I would say that at the moment you all have your attention turned uniquely toward the approaching BFS. Who else?
Previously Tigers' group part owned Beutong and did not know exactly what to do with it. Very smartly Tony offered Beutong to KLG and took control of the new company. Tony recognised the similarities between the two. Enormous potential but in need of some cash flow. How to go from explorer to producer and still remain at the elm? That is where BKM or Beruang Kanan as it was originally called comes in. An ideal first financially feasible prospect,small to medium in size but rich and at surface and with some serious exploration data available.
Now is there anyone invested in asiamet who does still not see beyond BKM ?

Not sure which of the prospect it is. During the first 4 or so recons there was no existing maps . In and out of the jungle was done purely relying on the Dayak help. Some surveys were carried out and locations were given names. No sure if they still apply. The prospect aforementioned was located alongside the Baroi river.Unsure if it is the same as the Baroi" prospect as this one seems a fair way from the river. In any case if is it this one or that one is not so relevant as the point to remember here is that " KSK " tremendous potential was clear from the beginning. The discovery of the mother of all elephants I say!

Remember when the bfs comes out that it is a great step but this will only be the beginning.
M.Mayberry the geologist who was alongside mansur right in the begining claimed that the earlier reconnaissance survey already had discovered what had all the hallmark of a world class porphyry deposit. This was other than the Beruang Kanan prospect. And then...there is a awful lot of gold in those darn hills!!

Carube Copper is focused on creating substantive long-term value for its shareholders through the discovery and development of world class copper and gold deposits. Carube currently holds a 100% interest in 11 licenses covering 535 km2 of highly prospective copper-gold terrain in Jamaica, and a 100% interest in three porphyry copper-gold properties covering 492 km2 within the Cascade Magmatic Arc in southwestern British Columbia. Carube is actively searching for additional high potential copper and gold properties to add to its portfolio.

Stephen Hughes, CEO and President

Agree with you Tom . That protest was a wake up call for sure. Hopefully this will gradually becomes embedded and
a pillar of the Company's culture. When that time comes It would be of great benefit to a lot of people , indicating that ARS has come of age and on its way to become truly successful.

The company has selected the Hornbill as its logo which is a highly symbolic bird. It simultaneously represents power, fertility, nurturing and is a celestial messenger of the upper world.
As Mansur, the long term chief geologist, repeatedly said:
" our exploration effort and our social efforts are one and the same"
I take as meaning that when you nurture land and people fruitful time are ahead. They are intertwined. We also all have the power to be different and show a better way how things can be done.

I never talk about Beutong because I do not know but if it turns out to be like the way Tony interpret it and on top you add KSK it is easy to imagine the fireworks going off soon or later.

BTW BKZ was not first discovered last year but 20 years ago when Mansur drilled 4 holes and 3 returned excellent grade.
In the interview watch Tony's facial expression when he talks about KSK. He knows he is on a good thing and so do most of us now. As for those who by now have not grasped that then there is nothing worthwhile for them to say.
Repeating, KSK will one day turn out to be the mother of all elephants. Small or large if you are lucky to afford it, this is the most exciting investment you will ever make. After 30 years I think am well placed to know.
Good luck still required

Regarding our KSK concession the (previous) mgt had strong commitment protecting local interest. This allowed
30 years of unimpeded exploration. There was now and then objections raised by various groups (environmental) even a petition to the President trying to stop exploration ( when Freeport joined with KLG and freeport brought unfortunatly their bad reputation with them) Again It got nowhere because of KLG good track record and strong support from the locals (pop. & Authorities). Local Dayak population support was also critical during various periods of Kalimantan riots and bloodshed . (remember Mansur talking about very nervy times for everyone) To understand better about the people we are working with in Kalimantan see the following article
https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/5CAE213016ACA52A85256A790066BBD4-icg_idn_27jun.pdf

The way to avoid for sure any blockage of access to our Aceh & Kalimantan concessions or other type of obstruction is by ensuring the Equitable treatment of all stakeholders. That way I believe we will not need to always look over our shoulders with the added benefit for ARS that it will then be recognized as a safe & secure mining exploitation.

There are two types of investors here: people who know and people who think they know .
The first one chew the meat while the other concentrate on the bone.
Good luck with your choice.

If someone here is interested how it all started and what might be there is a book by Matthew C. Mayberry which has recently been released.

"This book is about my impressions and personal experiences while leading six expeditions (May 1982 to July 1986) in exploring for gold and other minerals. These expeditions were the highlight of my professional life, and the area was legendary, especially in the villages known to the Dayak people as Data Hotap.
The work of the Expedition Team, Mas Asikin Alwi, Mansur Geiger, plus myself and many Dayaks, was really successful as we discovered several sources of gold and identified world-class copper gold porphyry targets.
The formal reports resulted in a Joint Venture agreement with our first corporate partner, Paringa Mining & Exploration Corporation, an Australian company. In short, our work “opened the door” to all the subsequent work. For this, the Expedition Group is really thankful."

Lakapoi, Mamuring,Focus,Baroi, FEZ, Water Fall, HUOI, Tengah, Mansur and the list goes on. etc..
All genuine contender waiting for exploration.
What a bonanza Tony's team has inherited credit to Mansur hard work and Time for any doubters to take on board that we have seen nothing yet.
Make no mistake this is not your average junior.

A while back the exploring team experienced all sort of difficulties and that put some strain on them. To succeed they
knew that they had to work as hard as they could but also begin to realise that could not come at the cost of their well being. So they took time to plan better living conditions by building better accommodation (out of tents) better nutrition and a minimum general comfort.
Is today different? I would say yes and no . To succeed the team now has to work just as hard , except it is not at the cost to themselves but that of the Company survival. So they take time off (kind of) to ensure that the venture remain viable and enduring. I support them fully.
RE: ARS spread the love :=)

Totally out of place comment.
Any company digging for as long as we have should be dead and buried by now. Ask yourself rather why are we still standing?
If it was that easy to get access to riches everyone would do it.
Keep the faith or if you think you made a mistake blame yourself not the company.
Good luck

Chartist what do you or anyone really knows?
...I think that some multinationals, who foresee bear market long in advance must have a laugh about Asiamet...
You mean something like:
Freeport Chairman James Moffett bought one million shares with a price tag of over $28.5 million. And Vice Chairman James Flores purchased 500 thousand shares at a value of $14.32 million in 2013.
The share kept going down after that until they hit $4 end of 2015

As they say" if one cannot stand the heat he better not get a job in a kitchen"
and so if you are in it don't complain about ARS because you are ignoring how it got this far and forgetting that we are not there yet.
ARS , KLG before that, has seen more ups and downs than an Empire state building elevator. Run out of money
many time and had exploration time off called on several occasions and workers went with little or no pay for extended periods. I never heard a complain then. Why you ask?
So let me tell you a story. You all heard about the amazing Hussein Bolt. He is the world sprint champion and now he is desperately trying to become a soccer player. The club he is training with is reticent to give him a contract because he wants to much money. He is a rookie and yet wants to be paid a marquis player premium. Very unfair to the other players in the team would you think. So much so that someone whispered a few words to his ear:
Chase your dream Man not the money.
Good luck to us all

Chartist watch it, I think you are starting to take a shine for this stock. Your self serving explanation relating to share fluctuation will soon or later be replaced by a strong conviction of what is really buried on our concession :=)
Good luck

IMO looking at ARS purely for the purpose of making a profit demonstrate a lack of understanding, of vision and
underestimating its futur potential .

Last week's incident should ring a bell. If I have here previously made posts in relation to CSR is because I could see that it was not something Tony was greatly concerned with and took his eyes off the subject. When was the last time Tony made reference to ARS's CSR achievements except in very general terms? As if it was something not to be proud off or something which will turn off investors or was it because little progress was made in that regard?
Anyway now we have all come face to face with reality and I hope Tony is, like the rest of us, taking notice .
Strangely don't you think, there is no value added to the ARS share price for Beutong and yet, a little incident regarding Beutong pops up and the SP tumble. Or is this because the real prize is KSK not Beutong?????
And therefore a warning? KSK has still some credit from Mansur' days but for how much longer if the board remain imbalanced in their approach and efforts .Is it not time also for the shareholders at large to recognize that proper due care has to be afforded to all stakeholders long before production. An integral part of the exploration budget and not just a token gesture.
Times have changed. I hope short term investors see the wisdom of this.

No access No mine!
Good luck to us all.
