China gold joins BKM golden girls

BKM Management has variously been in gold exploration and running modelling agencies. Now it has decided on the ultimate diversification by doing both at the same time.
In what might not be the most comfortable mix, the company yesterday confirmed a report on Monday by The Australian that it plans to go looking for gold in China.
Director Alvin Tan also confirmed the model agencies would stay - at least for now.
BKM Management is the latest manifestation of a company that has been North East Gold Mines, North Star Resources, Wet Dreams International and Blink Models.
The company was still being very vague about its plans yesterday, even though recent speculation about a change of direction has not hurt its share price, which has gone from 2.5c at the beginning of last month to 4.3c yesterday as speculators got set.
It has formed a joint venture with a Perth private company owned by several Chinese and local geologists with connections in China.
They include Leon Zhou who has been involved in metals trading in China.
Mr Tan said the company did not at this stage want to disclose where in China it would look for gold, but did say that BKM might also look at other minerals.
"China is quite blessed. It's got just about everything," he said.
BKM joins a small but growing list of Australian listed companies with mineral interests in China, the others being Tianshen Goldfields and Michelago hunting for gold, and Apex Minerals which has two base metals plays.
Asian interests have been moving into BKM to join a number of European shareholders - hence the dual listing in Frankfurt - as well as local investors. "It's quite an interesting spread of shareholders," Mr Tan said.
The return to mineral exploration has come about partly because of the frustrations suffered on the model agency front. BKM had taken its Scene brand out of Perth and into Sydney and Melbourne.
