Advisory Board and the Results of its Annual General Meeting
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 01, 2018 -- AsiaBaseMetals Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V:ABZ) is pleased to
announce the results of its annual general meeting of shareholders held in Vancouver on May 30, 2018 and appointment of Mr.
Yuvraj Solanki to the Advisory Board of the Company.
Mr. Solanki, an entrepreneur with over 10 years of hands-on mining experience, especially in India and Ethiopia, is a board
member and the Executive Director of Sainik Mining and Allied Services Limited. In those capacities, Mr. Solanki played a
major role in the drilling, exploration and development of a Potash project (“Danakil Potash Project”) located in the Danakil
depression in North-Eastern Ethiopia. Sainik Mining was recently awarded a Mine Development and Operation project (PB
Block –located in the state Jharkhand, India), being one of the largest MDO contracts for coal mining in India. The project is
anticipated to mine 15 million tonnes of coal annually for the next 25 years. Yuvraj holds a B.A. in Business Studies from the
University of De Montfort, Leicester, UK.
“It’s my pleasure to welcome Mr. Solanki to the Advisory Board of AsiaBaseMetals Inc. Yuvraj’s extensive experience in the
mining industry, understanding of the markets and ability to source and develop exploration and advanced projects make him
an ideal choice to provide guidance to the Company’s team. Having had the pleasure of knowing the Solanki family, including
both Kuldeep Solanki (director of XLR Capital – 23% shareholder of Yara Dallol B.V., the holder of the Danakil Potash Project)
for over 15 years and Yuvraj Solanki for over ten years, and the opportunity to follow their accomplishments, I’m sure the
Company will benefit from Yuvraj’s knowledge and relationships. Mr. Solanki will join the Company’s already impressive
Advisory Board, comprised of Mr. Joe Piekenbrock, Mr. Carl Herring, Mr. Sorin Posescu, Mr. Stephen Leahy, Mr. Bob Jacko,
Mr. Rafael Ovallos and Mr. Andrew Bowering.” stated Chairman of the Board & CEO, Raj Chowdhry.
