EAS East Asia Minerals Corporation

East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EAS) ("East Asia Minerals" or "the
Company") provides an update on its exploration projects at Miwah in Aceh
Province and Sangihe Island in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.


At its project on Sangihe Island, East Asia recently completed a 4,600 metre
drilling campaign to upgrade the existing mineralization, test extensions to the
resource and identify further mineralized zones. Evaluation of the assay results
is underway with Mining Associates of Brisbane, Australia. Ausenco, also from
Brisbane, is carrying out metallurgical studies to determine processing options.



"We had very positive results from our drilling at Sangihe and look forward to
receiving the complete analysis which will provide us with a development
roadmap," said Ed Rochette, CEO of East Asia Minerals. "Talks are progressing
with a number of parties about establishing a Joint Venture or investing
directly into the project and we are confident that we will be able to move
forward with a strong partner."


Sangihe is held under a Contract of Work permit, which allows access and
development for 26 years. It is located on the island of Sangihe off the
northern coast of Sulawesi in Indonesia. Sangihe has an existing NI 43-101
compliant inferred mineral resource of 836,718 ounces of gold and 11,927,237
ounces of silver (27.3 million tonnes using a 0.25 g/t gold cut-off and an
average of 0.95 grams per tonne of gold and 13.58 grams per tonne of silver).


The Company also announces that its local partner has requested that the Miwah
Project be placed into suspension. The exploration licences, or IUPs, at Miwah
were effective from November 2012 and extended until November 2014. Additional
drilling and completion of an Indonesian Standard Feasibility Study are required
before the IUPs expire, at which point the Company could seek mining licences on
the properties. By putting the project in suspension, the Company maintains its
exploration rights and the remaining time on its IUPs while halting all
expenditures. East Asia believes the remaining time on the IUP extensions is
sufficient to complete the required work at Miwah. A suspension notice has now
been filed with the Indonesian Ministry of Mines.


"While our Miwah project is on hold, management is continuing to work with and
is making progress with all levels of government to change the forestry
classification there. Our opinion is that our land position has been an active
exploration site for over 20 years and should not have been designated as
protected forest," stated Mr. Rochette. 


The Company's property at Miwah is an epithermal gold target located on the
northern tip of Sumatra Island in the province of Aceh in Indonesia and consists
of about 2,000 hectares within the 30,000 hectares of the Miwah IUPs. The
Company filed an NI 43-101 technical report on May 2011 which identified a gold
resource at Miwah of approximately 3.1 million ounces (103.9 million tonnes
using a cut-off of 0.2 grams per tonne and an average grade of 0.94 grams per
tonne of gold).
