@ KSK after 30 years we barely scratched the surface. Anyone who does not believe that we have at least three decades of production in front of us will take the bait. Here is a twist on the famous quote: KSK will provide sufficiently to satisfy every stakeholder's needs but not shareholder's greed. Good luck anyway.

Maybe in Beutong it is not the Govt you have to fear! Better get used to the idea that ARS ought to develop aggregate value and not just concentrating on building up the price of its shares. When in Rome do as the Roman do as they say. www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/23/a-vigilante-state-acehs-citizens-take-sharia-law-into-their-own-hands

"...Tony and Peter are adopting a strategic and systematic approach. Essentially the asset portfolio is of such scale, they could drill for the next 20 years! The issue is how to deal with this and this was seen by the previous owners Freeport where they spent several years and $30 million �scattergun� drilling, albeit identifying Beutong!..." IMO we should be reminded that if Tony and Peter have the opportunity to adopt a " strategic & systematic " approach is because in this mining venture they are not the pioneers. They were saved from the complexity and burden of discovery. In fact Tony was given a golden chance back in 2006 with Oxiana spending $2Mil on drilling BK(M) but pulled out after some 6 months saying that there was nothing much of interest. I recall that at the time Mansur even saying that theirs geologists did not take much notice of his advise. So were do you drill after surveying the land you discover that the almost entire concession is blanketed in minerals of some form or another? There are many prospect on KSK but their scale are such that they could not at the time be realistically tackled. These are the ones Cyprus Amax and Freeport were after**. Saying that previous drilling was in a scattergun fashion is in my view disrespectful. So much so when you are facing so many choices and Freeport having a very large budget and different objectives. However KLG with its very limited finance, selecting which of the targets was the most accessible, cheapest to develop and providing the quickest return was always at their forefront of their thinking. This is why we have BKM as a priority target. That selection was made long before Tony came on board but now with Tony's experience we are seeing it concretize. I say well done Tony and his team and lets hope that standing at the foot of this giant I can remain humble. ** Both pulled out for reasons other than lack of confidence in the potential. Shows me that money may not be the only arrow in the quiver that is needed here to succeed. As for guessing how long we could drill KSK is a totally futile exercise. If we were told now how long we would probably disbelieve. (btw. as far as I know Freeport never had anything to do with Beutong)

sorry 1996

Peter Bird ' s biggest fear is ARS being taken over by a major. This has been my fear since we went public in 1986. Don' t take note what I say but please listen to Peter he knows what he is talking!!!!

Sorry , less than 20 Mil

For Indonesia ( and China ;=), Kalimantan represent the futur. Indonesia 735K Sq.M pop. 260 Mil Kalimantan 210K Sq.M pop. > 20Mil ..... and vast untapped resources ! http://world.einnews.com/article/442061474/IVOXsRcIC7RsLS_T?lcf=aQXEpy7bz8uWEz6I_cIk1hgiukZhItDMvj0LKQ7YI_8%3D

I have been investing in KSK for the last 30 years so don't you bother yourself for a second about my dream. You may well be a very savvy investor but ,sorry, let me tell you when it come to ARS you know j..s.. Did you know that one of the reason it was listed on the AIM board is because on the TSX there were mainly sticky investors and it was so illiquid that sometimes it went weeks without a single trade. Just about everyone invested had no wish to sell, even though inevitably share price dwindled, unless they had to. It may have been a difficult environment when it came to fund raising and of no interest to speculators/traders but ask yourself why original investors hang on to their shares. Did they believe in something that today's AIM money oriented investors are deaf to? Can it be ignored when it is part of the Company DNA? Different trading place but same asset/project and It is pleasing to see that the number of LTH is growing by the day. They may have stumbled here by chance but now their confidence is really starting to take off. And so it should be. Six years ago I posted here that this Company had the opportunity to be at the forefront of the new paradigm that is slowly sweeping the world. Dream on I hear you say but that is OK.** Twice posted here that if all goes well , that in time, we will discover in KSK the mother of all elephants. Now slowly the clouds are starting to dissipate. As a glimpse, were else would you come across when the VP exp and Competent Person uses terms like "the gift that keeps giving' "miraculous" Fabulous' " off the charts" . Now even the CEO is warning investors that we have seen nothing yet. Something which he eventually had to reveal (knowing what they know/suspect) as it was already written and said here many times before. ** That the SP is 2 or 6 or 50p is not that significant but it is the support that's crucial. What is important is that the company is in a stable financial situation and that in time it is allowed to build and grow and build and grow. KSK can provide that platform. However what is most imperative IMO is to realise that it is incumbent upon us to be a launching pad preparing the world of tomorrow where profit becomes a means to an end not the goal. With this new economic logic when profitability is relegated from motor status to fuel we are free to ask (ourselves) what is the engin's real purpose(s). Around us we see WHY we ought to try to make things better than we are used to (environment, poverty, education etc) and it can be argumented this is HOW we can pay for it. Good luck us all.

@banter You should not generalise when you say "this is the AIM market" but rather investigate what was the reasons that moved ARS (KLG) to list on that exchange in the first place. I am sure you will have a different opinion.

For people who do not know about the story of the goose who lays golden eggs...?? ...NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!!!

Extract from ARS community newsletter ed.54 CSR Coordination Forum: The Journey of CSR Governance in Gunung Mas District Pictures that reflect the voices of miners and farmers As a collaborative project between the ASEAN CSR Network and YTS to strengthen the CSR Coordination Forum (CCF) that was established in Gunung Mas district in 2016, YTS and Gunung Mas district government conducted a series of meetings, forums and trainings during the last semester of 2017. It brought together government, companies and communities to strengthen program integration among these three key stakeholder groups. In the last quarter of 2017, YTS continued the activities by conducting advanced training for all CCF organizers and facilitators, organising a shared learning event, and reaching the final stage of all activities by facilitating a road trip for government officials to meet with extractive industries to accelerate CSR program integration. The trainings, that involved representatives from government agencies and companies, improved the ability of the CCF secretariat and facilitators to organize and manage forum activities. The shared learning event included time for reflection, evaluation, discussing lessons learned, and formulating strategy. Nine private companies in the plantation, forestry, and mining sectors contributed to achieving better CSR governance in Gunung Mas district. Currently, eight companies are in the process of integrating their CSR programs with those of selected government technical agencies in order to address strategic issues in the district aimed at improving the quality of children�s education, women�s empowerment, and child protection, as well as HIV-AIDS and elimination of stunting. One company will start implementation once it is in production. In the financial sector, three banks, namely BRI, BNI and Bank Kalteng, have expressed their interest in supporting tourism programs, family business development, and children�s forum creativity competition.

Absolutly nothing wrong with getting exited about the futur. Why there were not enough of you early on I will never know. When Mansur first surveyed the concession (38+ prospects) he found difficult deciding where to drill first. Evidence of mineralisation was everywhere. Enthusiasm and respect. Are we not dealing here with land and forests untouched since the dawn of time?

P.Bird repeatedly warn shareholders to be patient as KSK has the potential to give so much more than is so far understood. He does that because Asiamet need your support. He must be cringing when he hear people talking about a takeover now. These are probably the same people who would have advocating for a sale out when the Company MC was a mere 6 Mil. Whoa someone is offering 12 Mil.!!! Lets double our money and move on. Big deal. But I am reassured when I also read where Peter is saying that " Asiamet is very committed to building sustainable long-term value for all its stakeholders " For me It means that this Company has a long way to go before (if) it chose to fade away. I would expect the Company then to be looking after the very long term investors. Those who have supported this venture for many many years and who most of them are still out of pocket. I would hope this is part and parcel of the Company CSR .

You may be right I may well be biased so let me reiterate that what is first and foremost my overriding opinion : KSK CONCESSION IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER! and so the Company who is going to develop it has to act accordingly. ie: has to reflect its uniqueness So for me, anyone who treat this venture like any common other is rubbing the wrong way and when someone is supporting the argument that it is to early to dig into the Company pockets I cannot agree. Why on earth it is not realistic? Not realistic because you worry that when you approach the large institutions they will disapprove? CSR is not about money it is a culture. Like any culture it needs to be constantly nurtured. Planting seeds in the ground is not sufficient if we wish to have a bountiful harvest. Look at our website. The last community newsletter date back to 2016. When was the last time we heard either Tony, Steve or Peter mentioning anything about CSR. Is that how you successfully promote the culture within the Company if you had a vision of what will be required ? Or do they think that all they need to do is set later on an arbitrary sum for it in the budget? Look now. The proof is starting to emerge that in KSK we will have a good well. Like all generous well it will keep on filling our buckets no matter what. So I believe no one should be affrayed, specially the shareholders,small or large, to be accepting from the beginning to put their hand in their pocket (embracing the fact that the range and support of stakeholders may be much broader than common practice) Good luck all with your choice.

Presidential election next year may be more of a concern. IMO for an unimpeded futur Asiamet really need to strengthen is CSR and not wait for the production cash flow. This is something that Kalimantan Gold understood was important and aware from the start. I am yet to be convinced that Asiamet has its finger on that pulse. Is anyone aware that when Freeport signed the JV there was a campaign to try to shut KSK down? Some false rumors were spread - which was an easy thing to do because of Freeport's reputation- We should not be naive to think that there will not be any opposition when thing will start speeding up. A good name and social engagement gaining support from the local population will fend off detractors.

It is silly to suggest that they do not take into the rainfall into account. Mansur has been there on the spot for the last 30 years and Peter Pollard joined the Company in 2008. (author of the KSK summary posted Thu 04:57)

Yes, first time I hear Mgt talking about the FEZ. There are good yarns around it and Mansur had a soft spot for her.

but gives a good account of KSK amazing potential. http://sciencedocbox.com/Geology/66156404-Pt-kalimantan-surya-kencana-november-2009.html
