[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 11, 2016) - East Africa Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EAM) (\"East Africa\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on the 40 x 40 metre spaced infill diamond drilling program at the Mato Bula Silica Hill Deposit, being conducted to upgrade and further define the present resource (refer to East Africa's news release dated May 5, 2015). Results for 16 drill holes, totaling 2,265 metres, have been received, and will assist in further refining the definition of the mineralization. The Mato Bula Silica Hill system remains open to depth. Highlight intersections from the Mato Bula Silica Hill Resource infill drilling include; 19.50 metres at 21.67 grams per tonne gold including 8.6 metres at 46.81 grams per tonne gold, from 103.35 metres drill depth (WMD050 - Section 19920N). 20.69 metres at 18.37 grams per tonne gold including 10.67 metres at 34.23 grams per tonne gold, from 87.5 metres drill depth (WMD053 - Section 19880N). The highlighted intersections are situated in adjacent proximity to former highest grade intercepts encountered at Silica Hill (Figure 1), and it is anticipated they will improve confidence in the refinement and definition of the existing resource. A long section of the Upper Lode illustrates the new results (Figure 2). The table below outlines results for the Infill program to date.
