The reprocessing of historical airborne data has enabled East Asia Minerals to identify new high-potential gold targets at its Miwah gold prospect in northern Sumatra.

Initial prospecting and sampling has also begun near the recently discovered Sipopok gold prospect, 1.5km northeast of Miwah.

These new targets will continue to be systematically explored concurrent to a new Miwah drill program that is expected to begin this quarter.

Ongoing mapping and sampling of the multi-million ounce potential Miwah prospect is defining targets for the drilling.

More than 2000 metres of rock saw channel samples averaging 1.2 grams/tonne gold have been collected on this well exposed, 1200 metres long, up to 200 metres thickand 300 metres wide, gold-bearing silica ridge. Intervals such as 4.11 grams/tonne gold over 200 metres increase the company's confidence that continued exploration will increase historic grades and tonnage.

It has recently acquired historical data, including aeromagnetic, radiometric and multi-element stream and rock geochemistry, covering most of the 30,000 hectare property. Reprocessing and interpretation indicates the prospect has a distinct signature which is located on the southern end of a north-south oriented lozenge-shaped magnetic low.

New target zones with similar structural patterns, radiometric potassium anomalies and anomalous gold stream geochemistry, have been identified around the shoulders of the magnetic low feature. Additional attractive regional targets have been identified outside the core area, both SE and NW of Miwah, and ENE and NW of Sipopok.
