EAS says Aceh drilling demonstrates continuity of mineralization

Vancouver-based mineral explorer East Asia Minerals Corporation (EAS) reported on Tuesday that that exploration drilling at the Miwah Main Zone in Aceh Province continued to demonstrate continuity of gold mineralization.

At the eastern edge EMD016 encountered 0.59 g/t gold over 109 metres, including 1.16 g/t gold over 21 metres. EAS has completed its 1.2 kilometre east-west validation of the shallow, laterally extensive Main Miwah Gold Zone, and has encountered significant gold mineralization in all of its holes. The Main Miwah Gold Zone remains open.

NI43-101 resource estimate drilling is progressing well, including the following;

The Company has also drilled EMD 17, EMD 018, EMD019 with assays are pending and is currently drilling EMD020.

Based on the Company's work Miwah is resolving into two components; a large 1,200 metre long, at least 300 to 400 metre wide, approximately 200 metre thick tabular zone; and vertical diatreme breccia feeder zones that are beneath and cut through this. At Miwah Gold Zones, East Asia has almost 2,500 metres of rock sawn channel samples which average 2.35 g/t gold. Grade expectations in Main Miwah Gold Zone exceed 1.5 g/t gold.

EAS is an Asian-based, Canadian mineral exploration company with gold and copper exploration properties in Indonesia, and uranium exploration properties in Mongolia. In Indonesia the Company has a 70 to 85% interest in six advanced gold and gold-copper properties located in Aceh Province, Sumatra, and Sangihe Island, North Sulawesi. Two of these, the Sangihe (Binebase-Bawone) and Barisan 1 (Abong) gold projects, are being advanced to define NI43-101 compliant resources. (alex)
