East Asia Minerals drills more gold at Miwah

East Asia Minerals Corporation (EAS) reported Wednesday that assays have been received from an additional two diamond drill holes at the Main Miwah Gold Zone in Aceh Province.

The gold mineralized intersections are located west and south of drill hole EMD008, which encountered 2.11 g/t gold over 100 metres, including 4.81 g/t gold over 30 metres. EMD009 encountered 1.16 g/t gold over 88.0 metres, including 2.06 g/t gold over 21.2 metres. EMD010 ended in mineralization and encountered 1.42 g/t gold over 116.9 metres, including 3.14 g/t gold over 28 metres.

?The results continue to support the interpretation of shallow, laterally extensive gold mineralization along the 1.2 kilometre Main Miwah Gold Zone. More than 600 metres of strike length have been drill validated by East Asia Minerals to date,? it said.

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)
