East Asia Minerals has received promising gold, silver and copper drill results from the Brown Sugar Zone at its Sangihe Project in Northern Sulawesi.

An intersection of 16 metres grading 2.71 grams/tonne gold, 33.2 grams/tonne silver and 0.41% copper has given the company extra confidence about Sangihe.

Drilling at the Brown Sugar Zone was conducted in a previously un-drilled area 400 metres south-west of and sub-parallel to the Bawone Prospect.

East Asia has defined the Brown Sugar Zone on surface over 120 metres and it remains open in both directions along strike. This mineralization is in addition to and expands on gold intersections recently announced for the Bawone Prospect where drilling encountered wide gold zones including 95 metres of 2.15 grams/tonne gold.

Due to positive results at the Bawone and Binebase prospects, and now the Brown Sugar Zone, the drill rig originally scheduled to move to the Aceh projects will remain at Sangihe and return to Bawone to begin delineation drilling.

A second rig is drilling on the Aceh projects and started at the Abong Prospect where historic trench results include 16 metres of 3.84 grams/tonne gold and 8 metres of 2grams/tonne gold. East Asia sampling at Abong averaged 1.22 grams/tonne gold and 10 grams/tonne silver.
