Miwah open in all directions.HUGE NEWS FOR EAS AND CTN
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Mar 15, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --East Asia Minerals Corporation
EAS announces thatdrilling continues to demonstrate the robustness of the Miwah MainZone in Aceh Province, Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. EMD021encountered 1.36 g/t gold over 157 metres including 2.15 g/t goldover 59.1 metres, and ended in mineralization. East Asia hasvalidated the 1.2 kilometre east-west width of the shallow, laterallyextensive Main Miwah Gold Zone, and has encountered goldmineralization in all of its holes. The Main Miwah Gold Zone remainsopen in all directions with the Moon River area expanding thenorth-south potential from 400 metres to more than 600 metres, whilstremaining open further to the north towards Sipopok.
EMD021 was drilled with a 250 degree azimuth and 50 degree dip totest the extension of vuggy silica alteration from EMD019/020, andfinished in mineralization at 200 metres downhole depth. Gold grading1.36 g/t was encountered from 43 to 200 metres, including 2.15 g/tgold from 68 to 127.1 metres. The gold is open to depth, to the northand west, and is interpreted to be contiguous in all other directionswhere recently completed holes encountered consistent strongmineralization such as 4.08 g/t gold over 81 metres including 9.29g/t gold over 21 metres (EMD019), and 2.12 g/t gold over 108.2 metresincluding 3.34 g/t gold over 46.7 metres (EMD020).
EMD022 is progressing with a 190 degree azimuth and 70 degree dip totest the area immediately south of EMD001/002/003/018. The holeentered visually altered and mineralized rock at 5.7 metres depth.Surface rock sampling in this area gave 9.22 g/t gold over 14 metres,6.62 g/t gold over 6 metres, and 2.5 g/t gold over 24 metres.
EMD023 is progressing with a due north azimuth and 50 degree dip totest north from the high-grade gold mineralization encountered byEMD018 and EMD019, as well as testing the recently discoveredunderlying massive/vuggy silica layer in EMD018. The hole enteredvisually altered and mineralized rock at 53.7 metres depth (Refer todrill location map at www.EAminerals.com).
