EAS East Asia Minerals Corporation

East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EAS) ("East Asia Minerals" or "the
Corporation") announces that it has adopted a shareholder rights plan agreement
(the "Plan"). The Plan will be presented for ratification by the shareholders of
the Corporation at the Annual Meeting to be held on June 7, 2013.


Under the Plan, the Corporation has issued one right for no consideration in
respect of each outstanding common share of the Corporation to all holders of
record on May 9, 2013. All common shares issued by the Corporation during the
term of the Plan will have one right represented by the certificates
representing the common shares of the Corporation. The term of the Plan is three
years, subject to re-approval by the shareholders of the Corporation at their
2016 Annual Meeting.


The Plan is intended to provide the Board of Directors with adequate time to
consider value-enhancing alternatives to a take-over bid and allow competing
bids to emerge, and to provide the shareholders of the Corporation adequate time
to properly assess a take-over bid without undue pressure. The Plan is also
intended to ensure that the shareholders of the Corporation are provided equal
treatment under a take-over bid. The Corporation is not currently aware of any
pending or threatened take-over bid for the Corporation.


The Rights issued under the Plan become exercisable only if a person acquires
20% or more of the common shares of the Corporation without complying with the
"permitted bid" provisions in the Plan, other prescribed exemptions, or without
the approval of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Should such an
acquisition occur, rights holders (other than the acquiring person or related
persons) can purchase common shares of the corporation at half the prevailing
market price (as defined in the Plan) at the time the Rights become exercisable.
Each Right, upon exercise, would permit the purchase of shares of the
Corporation at a substantial discount to the market price.


A "Permitted bid" under the Plan must be made to all shareholders for all shares
of the Corporation, and must be open for acceptance for a minimum of 60 days. If
more than 50% of the outstanding shares held by independent shareholders have
been tendered and not withdrawn after 60 days, the bidder may take up the
shares, but must make a public announcement of that take-up and extend the bid
for a further 10 days to allow other shareholders to tender to the bid.


The Plan provides for Permitted Lock-Up Agreements which allow a locked-up
person to withdraw shares from a locked-up bid in order to support another bid
or transaction that provides for a greater consideration than the lock-up bid,
regardless of the number of shares involved.


The TSX Venture Exchange has conditionally accepted the Plan, subject to
ratification by the shareholders of the Corporation at the 2013 AGM to be held
on June 7, 2013.
