East Asia Minerals Corporation announced that it is restarting exploration at its Miwah Project located in Aceh Province of Indonesia. The company announced on January 8, 2013, that it has received extensions of its licences (IUPs) at Miwah until November 30, 2014. East Asia Minerals project geologists will begin with the onsite compilation of detailed geological and geotechnical field maps of the three Miwah IUPs and the Tangse IUP.

These field maps will be evaluated and interpreted with the aim of providing mineralization extension targets both along strike and down dip at Miwah and initial scouting drill hole targets at Tangse. The new targets generated by the interpretation of this mapping shall be added to the 12,000 metres of drilling planned in the 2013 drilling program at the Miwah Project. The company is also working with several levels of government to change the forestry classification at parts of the Miwah Project.

The Tangse IUP is not subject to any forestry classification restrictions.
