AsiaBaseMetals Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ABZ) is pleased to announce
that it has completed the previously announced non-brokered private placement of
333,334 flow-through common shares at a price of $0.15 per share, raising gross
proceeds of C$50,000. The shares are subject to a four month hold period that
expires on November 12, 2012.


The proceeds of the private placement will be used to fund exploration work on
the Company's property in British Columbia known as the "Gnome Property".


Raj Chowdhry, President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the
Company, acquired securities under the private placement. His participation is
considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral
Instrument 61-101. The purchase is exempt from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements of MI61-101 as neither the fair market value
of any shares issued to him or the consideration paid exceeded 25% of the
Company's market capitalization.
