About Southeast Asia Mining Corp.

Southeast Asia Mining Corp. is a junior exploration and mining company focused in Thailand. The Company has a joint venture agreement whereby it has an option to earn an 80% interest in the mining lease applications of the two historical operating silver-lead-zinc mines (Song Toh and Boh Yai), flotation plant and equipment. The mines were operated by Cominco in 1948, explored and operated by the German mining company Metalgesellschaft to 1990, and subsequently by a Thai private company (Kemco) until 2002 when they were closed due to depressed metal prices. Historically the mines processed approximately 5.4 million tonnes of ore producing 520,000 tonnes of Pb and Zn concentrates at the 1,000 tpd flotation plant. The plant was refurbished in 2008 by SEA and its joint venture partner when approximately 60,000 tonnes of ore were processed. The Company completed a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment for the historical operating Song Toh and Boh Yai deposits which indicated a pre-tax NPV of $88.8 million and an IRR of 148% for 100% of the historical mines. The Company also has a 100% interest in three special prospecting licenses (1,308 hectares) and seven special prospecting licence applications (4,400 hectares) surrounding the Song Toh and Boh Yai mines and two special prospecting license applications (2,878 hectares) for copper-gold exploration in the Province of Lopburi and Nakon Sawan within the area of the Loei-Phetchabun Gold Belt.
