East Asia Minerals intersects more gold mineralization at Sangihe project

Vancouver-based mineral exploration firm East Asia Minerals Corporation reported Monday that drilling on the Bawone Prospect at the Sangihe Project, North Sulawesi, continued to intersect significant gold mineralization.

The company said drill hole BOD-09 intersected 58.0 metres of 1.30 g/t gold within a broader interval that returned 128.0 metres of 0.82 g/t gold. Drill hole BOD-10 encountered 57.0 metres of 1.73 g/t gold, including 36.0 metres of 2.50 g/t gold from near surface.

?This shallow epithermal gold mineralized zone remains open along strike in both directions. Additional drilling is planned,? the company said.

The drill is now testing the Binebase Prospect, located 1.2 kilometres along strike to the north of Bawone where additional trenching has uncovered 2.00 g/t gold over 62.0 metres, 1.98 g/t gold over 45.5 metres, and 2.28 g/t gold over 28.5 metres. These results indicate wide zones of significant epithermal gold mineralization at surface. (alex)
