A total of 32 definition drill holes have been completed to date on the EC1 copper oxide deposit.  Additionally, 4 new holes have been completed at the EC2 copper oxide showing where further drilling is planned, and 6 holes were drilled at East Zone 1, a chalcocite enriched zone located approximately 2km southeast of EC1.  Initial geological observations on the East Zone 1 drilling indicate the holes have all intersected copper oxide mineralization on the margins of a large induced polarization anomaly.  Assays will be reported after they are received and verified under East Asia Mineral's quality assurance and quality control protocol.
The current focus of the exploration program at Khok Adar is to define the economic potential of the transported (exotic) copper oxide mineralization discovered to date and to identify the source.  Regional exploration of this 100,823 hectare property is also continuing.
East Asia currently has one drill operating at the Khok Adar project in western Mongolia and a second rig operating at its Deren gold project located 270 kilometres southwest of Ulaanbaatar in central Mongolia.  The initial drill hole at Deren intercepted multiple quartz breccia veins which exhibited typical epithermal textures.  Apparent thickness of the individual veins range from 1m to 7m.
Samples reported were assayed at Alec Stewart Laboratories in Kyrgyzstan.  Check samples are assayed at McPhar Labs in Manila, Philippines.  East Asia Minerals conducts a rigorous and continuous QA/QC program, which is detailed at www.EastAsiaMinerals.com.  Mike Hawkins, M.Sc., MAusIMM, the designated QP within the meaning of 43-101, has reviewed and approves the content of this release.
