AsiaBaseMetals Inc. Announces Closing of Fully Subscribed Flow-Through
and Non-Flow-Through Private Placement
Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for dissemination in the United States
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 14, 2019 -- AsiaBaseMetals Inc. (the "Company") (TSX-V: "ABZ") is pleased to
announce that it has closed its fully subscribed non-brokered private placement (the " Private Placement ") for aggregate
proceeds of C$157,000. The Company issued 625,000 flow-through common shares (each, a " Flow-Through Share ") at a
price of $0.16 per Flow-Through Share, and 356,250 non-flow-through common shares (each, a "Non-Flow-Through Share ")
at a price of $0.16 per Non-Flow-Through Share.
The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for the exploration work on the Gnome Project and for general corporate
and working capital purposes. The Private Placement is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a four month and one day hold period which
expires on May 12, 2019.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
Multilateral Instrument 61-101
Under the Private Placement, Raj Chowdhry, President, CEO and a director of the Company, purchased 468,750 Flow-Through
Shares under the Private Placement and Henry Park, a director of the Company, purchased 200,000 Non-Flow-Through
Shares through a company controlled by Mr. Park. Their participation is considered to be a "related party transaction" as
defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (" MI 61-101"). The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the Private
Placement nor the consideration to be received for those securities, in so far as the Private Placement involves the insiders,
exceeds $2,500,000. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the
Private Placement as the details of the Private Placement and the participation therein by related parties of the Company were
not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

intend, and expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

requirements is available.
