Results have been received for hole EMD013 drilled east of previous EAS drilling where 1.28 g/t gold over 183.5 metres, including 2.11 g/t gold over 77.7 metres was intersected in EMD012A, the company said.
EMD013 encountered 1.00 g/t gold over 153.7 metres, including 1.41 g/t gold over 91.5 metres. The hole ended in mineralization grading 1.69 g/t gold over the last 4 metres.
To date East Asia has drilled more than 900 metres strike length along the shallow, laterally extensive 1.2 kilometre long Main Miwah Gold Zone, and has encountered wide intercepts of gold mineralization in all holes drilled. The Main Miwah Gold Zone remains open in all directions.
EMD014 was drilled with a 120 degree azimuth and 65 degree dip, and was shut down in visually altered and mineralized rock at 200 metres downhole depth. It is a large step-out to the north of the mineralized strike drilled to date, being located 220 metres west-northwest of EMD008/011. Surface channel sampling in the target area gave 2.08g/t gold over 40 metres (Refer to map on Company's website at www.EAminerals.com).
The drill rig has been moved to commence hole EMD015, which is planned as a step-out to the east of EMD0012A/013 to further drill validate the extensive strike of the Main Miwah Gold Zone. It will be drilled with an 86 degree azimuth and 70 degree dip.
