VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Monday, March 15, 2010 -- East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV-EAS) announces that drilling continues to demonstrate the robustness of the Miwah Main Zone in Aceh Province, Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. EMD021 encountered 1.36 g/t gold over 157 metres including 2.15 g/t gold over 59.1 metres, and ended in mineralization. East Asia has validated the 1.2 kilometre east-west width of the shallow, laterally extensive Main Miwah Gold Zone, and has encountered gold mineralization in all of its holes. The Main Miwah Gold Zone remains open in all directions with the Moon River area expanding the north-south potential from 400 metres to more than 600 metres, whilst remaining open further to the north towards Sipopok.
EMD021 was drilled with a 250 degree azimuth and 50 degree dip to test the extension of vuggy silica alteration from EMD019/020, and finished in mineralization at 200 metres downhole depth. Gold grading 1.36 g/t was encountered from 43 to 200 metres, including 2.15 g/t gold from 68 to 127.1 metres. The gold is open to depth, to the north and west, and is interpreted to be contiguous in all other directions where recently completed holes encountered consistent strong mineralization such as 4.08 g/t gold over 81 metres including 9.29 g/t gold over 21 metres (EMD019), and 2.12 g/t gold over 108.2 metres including 3.34 g/t gold over 46.7 metres (EMD020).
EMD022 is progressing with a 190 degree azimuth and 70 degree dip to test the area immediately south of EMD001/002/003/018. The hole entered 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 to test north from the high-grade gold mineralization encountered by EMD018 and EMD019, as well as testing the recently discovered underlying massive/vuggy silica layer in EMD018. The hole entered visually altered and mineralized rock at 53.7 metres depth (Refer to drill location map at www.EAminerals.com).

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 09, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE: EAS) announces that drilling has extended the Miwah Main Zone towards Moon River at the Miwah Gold Project in Aceh Province, Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. EMD024 encountered 3.96 g/t gold over 111 metres, including 15.74 g/t gold over 22 metres, indicating increasing grade and thickness to the north. The hole was terminated, due to rig limitations, at 209 metres with the penultimate and ultimate metre intercepts downhole grading 17.25 g/t gold and 20.6 g/t gold respectively. East Asia has drill validated the 1.2 kilometre east-west outcrop width of the shallow, laterally extensive Miwah Main Zone, and has encountered gold mineralization in all of its holes. The Miwah Main Zone remains open in all directions with the Moon River area expanding the north-south potential to more than 600 metres, whilst remaining open further to the north towards Sipopok. Sampling west of the Miwah Main Zone has potentially expanded the east-west width another 600 metres. The Company notes that with the latest drilling results that the Miwah Main Zone has now been extended towards a similar northing as Moon River.
EMD024 was drilled with a due north azimuth and 55 degree dip, 125 metres north from EMD023, and was completed at 209 metres downhole depth. This is the furthest north the Company has drilled the Miwah Main Zone to date, with the mineralization continuing to the end of hole and beginning to firmly establish a link with Moon River. Gold grading 3.96 g/t was encountered from 98 to 209 metres, including 15.74 g/t gold from 187 to 209 metres. The gold is open to depth and in all directions, and is interpreted to be contiguous to the south where EMD018 encountered 2.18 g/t gold over 116 metres including 3.28 g/t gold over 61 metres, and EMD019 encountered 4.08 g/t gold over 81 metres including 9.29 g/t gold over 21 metres. Along section the mineralization is increasing in grade and thickness to the north.
EMD025 was drilled with a due west azimuth and 55 degree dip, to test west from EMD024, and was completed at 210 metres downhole depth. Commencing at 87.8 metres depth the hole encountered multiple zones of visually altered and mineralized rock to 206.6 metres. Assays are pending.
EMD026 is being drilled with a 310 degree azimuth and 50 degree dip, targeting the extension of silicification to the north and east of the Miwah Bluff portion of the Miwah Main Zone. It is a north-westerly step out from EMD014. The hole is progressing well, having encountered visually altered and mineralized rock from 104 metres downhole depth.
EMD027 is commencing with a 180 degree azimuth and 55 degree dip, to confirm thickness and test for gold grade variation in the high-grade vuggy silicification north from EMD023 (Refer to drill location map at www.EAminerals.com).
Miwah Background
The Miwah Gold Prospect was partially defined by approximately 3,100 metres of drilling in twelve holes by a previous explorer in 1997. All holes drilled during this program intersected significant alteration and mineralization with intercepts including 71 metres of 1.4 g/t gold and 58 metres of 1.1 g/t gold. The previous explorer suggested potential for 100 Mt at 1.1 to 1.2 g/t gold, however a review of the historical data indicates that early drilling was parallel to higher grade (greater than 5 g/t gold) structures at surface. Hence, in addition to greater mineralized tonnage, significantly higher overall grades are anticipated from better geological understanding, results of the Company's detailed sampling, and properly oriented drill holes.
Based on the Company's work Miwah is resolving into two components; a large 1,200 metre long, at least 300 to 400 metre wide, approximately 200 metre thick tabular zone; and vertical diatreme breccia feeder zones that are beneath and cut through this. At Miwah Gold Zones, East Asia has almost 2,500 metres of rock sawn channel samples which average 2.35 g/t gold. Grade expectations in Main Miwah Gold Zone exceed 1.5 g/t gold. Ongoing sampling verified the Company's confidence that higher overall gold grades can be achieved due to the presence of multiple high grade rock sawn channel samples throughout the strike, including 4.11 g/t gold over 200 metres at the eastern part of the Main Miwah Gold Zone, and 4.35 g/t gold over 27 metres at the western part. Recent drilling has supported this. In addition to the tabular zone the Company has begun to characterize some of the diatreme breccia feeder zones, with rock sawn channel samples including 83.59 g/t gold over 24 metres and 20.14 g/t gold over 12 metres. Recent drilling has supported this. These feeder zones have great potential to develop into substantial tonnages of higher grade gold mineralization in an area adjacent to 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).
Samples reported were assayed at Intertek assay laboratories in Jakarta. Lionel Martin, P.Geo., the designated QP within the meaning of NI 43-101, has reviewed and approves the content of this release. East Asia has not verified the classification of the resource references and is not treating them as NI 43-101 defined resources verified by a QP. Although the references of resources are relevant to recognizing the potential of the Miwah project, they should not be relied upon.

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. Two of these, the Sangihe (Binebase-Bawone) and Barisan 1 (Abong) gold projects, are being advanced to define NI43-101 compliant resources. The Company owns eight uranium properties, including the advanced Ingiin-Nars, Ulaan Nuur and Enger uranium projects, and two phosphate properties in Mongolia. East Asia currently has 71,455,372 shares outstanding. Its shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "EAS".
East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EAS) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has today approved the implementation of a series of value enhancing transactions that, subject to applicable regulatory and other approvals, will result in eligible East Asia shareholders owning shares in four (4) separate companies.
East Asia Minerals has recently set up three new wholly owned subsidiaries to which it will transfer most of its non-Miwah assets. The Company expects to undertake an internal reorganization and work with the appropriate authorities and its joint venture partners to transfer the non-Miwah assets from East Asia Minerals to these new wholly owned subsidiaries:
Sangihe Gold Corporation is to become a precious metals exploration company focused on Eastern Indonesia. It will initially hold East Asia Minerals' 70% equity interest in the Sangihe gold project in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The Sangihe project has an NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 1,075,263 ounces of gold equivalent (news release September 22, 2010).
Barisan Gold Corporation is to become a gold-copper porphyry exploration company focused on Indonesia. It will initially hold East Asia Minerals' 80% equity interest in the Barisan gold-copper porphyries (including the Abong epithermal gold deposit) and East Asia Minerals' 75% equity interest in the Takengon gold-copper project, all located in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The Upper Tengkereng prospect at Barisan returned an interval of 40 metres at 1.46g/t gold and 0.48% copper within a 691-metre fully mineralized hole with 0.39g/t gold and 0.30% copper in UTD002 (news release January 17, 2011).
East Asia Energy Corporation is to become a Mongolian mining and energy company. It will initially hold all of East Asia Minerals' Mongolian assets, which consist of early stage uranium and phosphate projects.
The directors and senior management teams of Sangihe Gold, Barisan Gold and East Asia Energy will consist of current directors and senior officers of East Asia Minerals.
Upon completion of the proposed internal reorganization and subject to applicable regulatory approvals, East Asia Minerals intends to distribute, by way of dividend-in-kind to current eligible East Asia shareholders, all of the shares in Sangihe Gold, Barisan Gold and East Asia Energy held by East Asia Minerals.
Immediately following distribution of the dividend-in-kind, Sangihe Gold and Barisan Gold intend to conduct rights offerings to raise the balance of funds necessary to conduct their near-term exploration and development activities. The rights offerings will entitle eligible shareholders to acquire additional shares in Sangihe Gold and Barisan Gold.
Michael Hawkins, President, CEO & Director of East Asia Minerals, commented: "With the continuing development of the large Miwah gold deposit, the significant value of our other assets has not been recognized. These transactions will allow our other assets, which we believe are potentially equally attractive to Miwah, to create their own market and raise their own funds to further exploration and add shareholder value."
Mr. Hawkins added: "We strongly believe this is a clear case where the sum-of-the-parts is significantly greater than the current market value of East Asia Minerals. These transactions will create market values for the other assets which we believe are quite significant given the discoveries made to date and the remaining economic potential."
East Asia Minerals anticipates completing these transactions by June 2011. The initial internal reorganization is expected to be completed in March 2011, following which East Asia intends to file preliminary prospectuses with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities for Sangihe Gold, Barisan Gold and East Asia Energy which will contain detailed information on the new companies as well as the terms of the dividends-in-kind and rights offerings. Completion of the proposed transactions is subject to a number of conditions including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and other applicable securities regulatory authorities.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 21, 2011) - East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EAS) announces that drilling has firmly established the connection between Block M and Miwah Bluff at the Miwah Main Zone in Aceh Province, Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. EMD059 encountered 1.21 g/t gold over 172 metres, including 3.2 g/t gold over 34 metres, 145 metres north of recently announced EMD058. In addition ongoing drilling has clearly demonstrated that the gold-hosting Miwah horizon continues north past the initial resource estimate block towards Moon River, providing immediate upside potential for future resource expansion.
The Company also reports;
assays for drill holes EMD059 to 061,
geological updates for completed holes EMD062 to 063 (assays pending),
updates for in-progress drill holes EMD064 to 067.
EMD059 was drilled with a 270 degree azimuth and 50 degree dip to infill alteration and mineralization between Block M and Miwah Bluff to the north of EMD058. The hole was completed at 400.2 metres and encountered 1.21 g/t gold from 129 to 301 metres (172 metres) including 3.2 g/t gold from 162.5 to 196.5 metres (34 metres). EMD059 is approximately 145 metres due north of the EMD058 intersection, which assayed 1.46 g/t gold over 159.5 metres including 2.28 g/t gold over 95 metres, and firmly establishes continuity between the eastern and western blocks of the Miwah Main Zone.
EMD060 was drilled with a 30 degree azimuth and 50 degree dip to test alteration and mineralization northeast of Block M towards Moon River.

The hole was completed at 201.4 metres and encountered favourable alteration/mineralization from 75 to 113.3 metres, 119.1 to 124.1 metres, and 137.8 to 161.6 metres. Assays are pending.
EMD064 is being drilled with a 346 degree azimuth and 50 degree dip to infill lithology and alteration between Block M and Moon River. Drilling to date has encountered significant favourable alteration/mineralization intercalated throughout moderately to lesser altered host rock from 15.6 metres to the current depth of 245 metres where it is progressing well. The results support continuation of the favourable gold-hosting Miwah Horizon north towards Moon River and extending past the initial Miwah Main Zone resource block.
EMD065 is being drilled with a 45 degree azimuth and 50 degree dip to infill lithology and alteration between Block M and Moon River. The hole entered favourable alteration/mineralization at 101.4 metres, within which it continued to the current depth of 218 metres where it is progressing well. The results support continuation of the favourable gold-hosting Miwah Horizon north towards Moon River and extending past the initial Miwah Main Zone resource block.
EMD066 has just commenced with a 280 degree azimuth and 60 degree dip to test the west extension of alteration and mineralization intersected in EMD061, reaching west past the initial Miwah Main Zone resource block.
EMD067 is being prepared for drilling with a 310 degree azimuth and 55 degree dip to infill resource block lithology and alteration to the north of EMD026 and EMD059. (Refer to Miwah drill hole location map at www.EAminerals.com).
East Asia has diamond drill validated the 1.2 kilometre east-west outcropping width of the shallow, laterally extensive Miwah Main Zone, and has encountered significant gold mineralization in more than 95% of all holes analyzed to date. The Miwah Main Zone remains open in all directions with the Moon River area expanding the north-south potential to more than 700 metres, whilst remaining open further to the north towards Sipopok. Drilling has extended the Miwah Main Zone towards a similar northing as Moon River.
