Indonesian spring rolls – oh-so tasty! Shares of East Asia moved up on new drill results. Drilling has extended gold
mineralization further to the west at its main Miwah Gold Project in Indonesia, confirming the open western potential.
Specifically, recent drill results are from holes testing the western extension along a north-south corridor, defined by holes
EMD018, 019, 022 to 024, 027 and 029. Highlights from Tuesday’s drill results include: EMD031 encountered 2.19 g/t gold
over 43.0 metres, including 4.10 g/t gold over 15.0 metres; and EMD032 encountered 1.62 g/t gold over 37.6 metres, including
2.58 g/t gold over 20.0 metres. EMD031 was drilled with a due south azimuth and 30-degree dip from the EMD028 location
(drilled south to test mineralization near the end of holes 2,4, and beginning of hole 3). EMD032 was drilled with a due west
azimuth and 55-degree dip to test west of the Miwah Main Zone from EMD028. Michael Hawkins, President and CEO of East
Asia, commented, "Our recent drill results continue to deliver as we explore the Miwah gold system. The consistency and size
of the mineralized footprint supports our interpretation that Miwah has great potential to develop into one of this cycle's more
important gold discoveries.” Assays are pending on EMD034 which is testing further west of EMD032. Canaccord Genuity
Senior Mining Analyst Wendell Zerb is bullish on the story and believes East Asia's shares will continue to be driven by
speculative interpretations (no formal resources outlined) over the next several quarters as new results build on the size potential
at Miwah and the surrounding area.
