Abong Epithermal Gold
The Barisan 1 tenement is host to a sedimentary-hosted gold deposit called the Abong prospect.
Current drilling on the outcropping, sub-horizontal Abong Jasperoid Prospect within the Barisan Property, Aceh Province, Indonesia, continues to intersect consistent near surface epithermal gold mineralization. Drill holes ABD-08 to ABD-10 respectively intersected 1.77 g/t gold over 11.0 metres, 1.56 g/t gold over 12.0 metres, and 1.72 g/t gold over 12.0 metres.
East Asia Minerals' drilling and mapping have consistently provided significant gold results along an extensive shallow dipping, near-surface jasperoid "blanket" greater than 1,500 metres in a northwest direction, up to 750 metres wide, and typically 10 to 15 metres thick. The jasperoid surface area remains open in all directions and drilling confirms the historically defined mineralization. Sampling and analysis for drill holes ABD-11 to 24 are in progress, and results will be disclosed as received. Drill hole ABD-25 has commenced.
In addition, at the northwest and southeast areas (Bintang and Fikri) of the Abong Jasperoid Prospect, East Asia has mapped/sampled high-grade gold laterally along basal surge tuff horizons positioned within the gold bearing jasperiod "blanket" and into breccia feeder zones that extend to depth. These include trench results of 12.11 g/t gold over 8.0 metres at the Bintang Prospect, and 11.28 g/t gold over 11.0 metres at the Fikri Prospect (December 11, 2007 and January 14, 2008 news releases). When drilling in these areas, the Company intends to extend the holes past the gold-bearing jasperoid "blanket" to test for high-grade bonanza gold zones that are typical of epithermal gold environments.

The Abong program is diamond drilling holes at 150 to 200 metre centres to more completely delineate the historically outlined stratabound epithermal gold mineralization, and to expand on that base. Reverse circulation drilling will follow to tighten the drill spacing and cut costs. A speculative non-NI43-101 compliant resource of 40 to 60 million tonnes grading 1.0 to 1.5 g/t gold, for a total of approximately 1.5 million ounces of gold, was estimated by two major mining companies which drilled 28 holes, 20 to 120 metres deep, on the Abong Jasperoid Prospect in the mid 1990's (October 30, 2007 news release). East Asia Minerals is encouraged that the Jasperoid intercepts of stratabound mineralization it is encountering are substantially higher grade than the historic reported average.
East Asia Minerals completed significant trench sampling at the Bintang and Fikri Prospects during 2007. Highlights of this sampling include:
