	For Immediate release, July 2, 2008 TSXV: EAS VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Wednesday, July 2, 2008 -- East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV-EAS) reports that recent infill and extension drilling results, including 39.0 metres of 1.06 g/t gold, at its Binebase Project located on Sangihe Island, Sulawesi, Indonesia has extended the near-surface oxide gold zone 300 metres southeast of previous drilling. The Binebase Gold Zone remains open to the south and southeast. Binebase drilling on the central southern flank of the gold zone has additionally encountered previously unknown, gold-bearing, primary semi-massive sulphide mineralization, including 26.2 metres of 1.20 g/t gold, below the oxide mineralization. Binebase Project Previous EAS diamond core drilling at the Binebase gold Project has outlined a north-west trending, near-surface gold oxide zone measuring 700 metres long by 300 metres wide (map at www.EAminerals.com). Recent drilling has extended this gold zone 300 metres to the southeast. Holes BID-24 to BID-26 encountered the near surface oxide blanket of limonite-silica-clay mineralization, averaging 40 metres thick with a very even gold grade distribution (results below). The gold-bearing oxide zone remains open to the south and southeast.

Recent drilling has encountered primary gold-silver mineralization in the central southern part of the Binebase Gold Zone. To date, three diamond core holes have outlined a +100 metre long, north-south trending lens-shaped structure of semi-massive sulphide (pyrite, enargite and covellite), quartz and barite. This primary gold mineralization thickens and extends to the south from the known Binebase gold oxide blanket towards the Bawone gold Zone located 1.2 kilometres to the south. The silica-sulphide breccia texture and mineralogy is identical to primary high sulphidation epithermal gold-silver mineralization at Bawone and reinforces the possibility of a significant gold-bearing feeder zone at depth. Further drilling is planned to test for southeast extensions of both this sulphide body and the near-surface oxide blanket. Samples reported were assayed at PT SGS Indoassay (SGS Group) in Balikpapan. 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.
