	September 08, 2008 East Asia Minerals Intersects More High Grade Gold at Abong Including 11 Metres of 5.68 g/t Gold
	For Immediate release, September 8, 2008 TSXV: EAS VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Monday, September 8, 2008 -- East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV-EAS) is pleased to report recent drill results, including 11.00 metres of 5.68 g/t gold in ABD-74 and 10.0 metres of 2.50 g/t gold in ABD-75, from its Abong Project located in Aceh Province, Indonesia. This recent drilling extends the main Bulan gold mineralization to the west where it still remains open. The overall Abong mineralized system also remains open in both strike directions. Abong Drill Update Recent infill and step-out drilling at the Bulan Gold Zone ("BGZ") in the Abong Project area continues to demonstrate the continuity of the near-surface, flat-lying, gold-bearing jasperoid horizon with strong gold intercepts of 11.00 metres of 5.68 g/t gold in hole ABD-74 and 10.0 metres of 2.50 g/t gold in ABD-75 (view map at www.EAminerals.com). These drill intercepts have extended the BGZ to the west. Elsewhere infill drilling at the Bulan Main Zone continues to produce predictable results, including 16.00 metres at 1.57 g/t gold in hole ABD-69 and 17.00 metres of 1.54 g/t gold in hole ABD-71.

Potential for the discovery of new gold cells along extensions of the Abong structural trend to the northwest and southeast is under active investigation. Scout drilling of the newly discovered Kapar gold target has been completed and results are pending. Previous channel sampling at Kapar returned 16 metres at 1.67 g/t gold from a creek exposure located 1.3 kilometres east of Bulan within the same structural and geological setting. Samples reported were assayed at Intertek Laboratories in Jakarta. David Royle, B.Sc. (Hons), FAusIMM, CP, the designated QP within the meaning of 43-101, has reviewed and approves the content of this release.
