DOID is pleased to continue to support Asiamet as it moves towards completion of the Project’s bankable feasibility update.

DOID is assisting the Asiamet’s management team with key aspects of the bankable feasibility study update. By working with Asiamet and leveraging PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama’s core skills in mining services in Indonesia, DOID believes this will become a part of our broader commodity diversification strategy, with a focus on transition commodities. DOID is committed to advancing its ESG strategy, and specifically, building on our core competencies by providing the required resources in the most efficient and sustainable way.

We are particularly pleased to see Asiamet add significant strength to its team, particularly Darryn McClelland, who has substantial project delivery experience in Indonesia and throughout Asia. We expect that under Darryn’s leadership, the bankable feasibility update will be robust and well-considered,” Ronald concluded.
