EAM updates Miwah Gold

East Asia Minerals Corporation told Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on Wednesday that assays have been received from the first two diamond drill holes at its flagship Miwah Gold project in Aceh province. 
East Asia encounters 3.29 g/t gold over 66 meters in wider internal of 1.71 g/t gold over 158 meters from initial diamond drill testing of Miwah. "These results support the interpretation of shallow out-flowed, laterally extensive gold mineralization controlled by multiple northerly trending higher-grade feeder structures that cut steeply through the 1.2 kilometre long (east-west) Miwah Gold Zone," EAM said. 
Drill hole EMD001 encountered 1.97 g/t gold over 57.1 metres, including 2.78 g/t gold over 38.3 metres. EMD002 encountered 1.71 g/t gold over 158.0 metres, including 3.29 g/t gold over 66.0 metres.
EMD001 and 002 were drilled in opposite directions from a common drill pad located approximately 200 metres east of the currently mapped western end of the Main Miwah Gold Zone.
The Miwah Property is in a very similar volcanic setting to the Martabe gold-silver deposit, also located in North Sumatra (Purnama and Baskara resources: 127.8 million tonnes at 1.4 g/t gold (5.5 million ounces gold) and 15 g/t silver (60 million ounces silver), and the alteration system is of a comparable size. 
Miwah also exhibits a likeness to the size, style and geometry of the alteration system developed at the Pierina gold deposit in Peru (67.7 Mt grading 2.98 g/t gold and 22 g/t silver, giving a total 6.49 million ounces gold and 47.9 million ounces silver).
East Asia Minerals (EAS-TSXV) 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.
