Issue of Director Performance Rights

Asiamet Resources Limited ("ARS" or the "Company") notes that pursuant to their letters of engagement, each of the Non-Executive Directors ("Directors") of the Company and the Chairman are eligible to receive directors fees. The Chairman and Directors have elected to receive these fees in performance rights in the form of shares for the period 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019.

The share price to be used for the calculation is a 10-day VWAP over the 10 trading days immediately following publication of the Company's Annual Accounts as released on 5 May 2020, or if the Company is in a close period at that time, for the 10 trading days immediately following the end of that close period. In this case the share price used based on the above formula was 2.64p per share following the release of the Company's Annual Accounts.

The award of performance rights for the 2019 year is set out below:

Tony Manini	1,082,008	shares
Dominic Heaton	1,082,008	shares
Faldi Ismail	1,082,008	shares
Peter Pollard	1,082,008	shares
Bruce Sheng	518,788	shares  (Mr Sheng joined the Board on 19 July 2019)

Following the issue of the above 4,846,820 shares ("New Common Shares"), the shareholdings of those directors (including direct and indirect holdings) will be as follows:

Director	Holding of Common Shares	Percentage of Enlarged Share Capital
Tony Manini	46,758,635	3.16%
Dominic Heaton	2,977,651	0.20%
Faldi Ismail	15,724,752	1.06%
Peter Pollard	2,753,858	0.19%
Bruce Sheng*	120,761,364	8.16%

*Bruce Sheng's shareholding includes that of Asipac Group Pty Ltd where he is a director.

Application will be made for the New Common Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").  It is expected that Admission to AIM will become effective and dealings in the New Common Shares will commence on or around 19 August 2020. The New Common Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing common shares in the Company.

The total number of common shares outstanding after completion of the issue of the New Common Shares will increase from 1,474,267,533 to 1,479,114,353. This represents the total number of voting rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Tony Manini, Executive Chairman
