Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EAG) ("Eagle Hill" or the
"Company") is very pleased to report positive results from preliminary grinding
circuit testing from the Windfall Lake gold project in Quebec. These results are
part of the broader metallurgical test program designed to evaluate the hardness
of the mineralization and precious metal recoveries at the Windfall Lake gold
deposit. 


The initial grindability test work, using the SAGDesign procedure, indicates
that the gold mineralization at Windfall Lake has moderate to low grinding work
indices and does not exhibit excessive grinding power requirements. The SAG mill
power consumption is 8.34 kilowatt hours per tonne of material and is comparable
to average gold deposits. The Bond Ball Mill Work Index on SAG ground ore is
10.55 kilowatt hours per tonne of material, a relatively low amount of energy
required to grind the material in a ball mill, and is in the lower 11th
percentile when compared to other deposits(1).

(1) Percentile values are calculated from a total of 700 samples from over  
 100 deposits in the SAGDesign database.                                    



Dr. Jean-Philippe Desrochers, Chief Geologist of Eagle Hill commented: "These
positive grinding results are very important as they demonstrate that the gold
mineralization can be ground with low energy consumption. This would eventually
reduce the capital cost for crushing and grinding equipment and would contribute
to lower total operating costs." 


The preliminary grindability test was conducted on a 15.8 kg composite sample
collected from uncrushed samples of half cut diamond drill core (NQ-size) of
five drill holes that sampled several lenses of the Windfall Main Zone. The
mineralization included in the sample is typical of the Windfall Lake gold
deposit and consists of 5-15% disseminated pyrite and stringers hosted in
sericitized and silicified felsic to intermediate volcanic and intrusive rock
units. The composite sample also included lower grade mineralized material
located in the hanging wall and footwall of the mineralized lenses. This
composite sample is considered to be representative of potential ore that would
be processed from the Windfall Lake gold deposit. 


The SAGDesign test reproduces commercial SAG mill grinding conditions and
determines the SAG mill pinion energy needed to grind ore from 80 percent of the
material passing 152 millimeters to 80 percent of the material passing 1.7 mm,
herein referred to as macro ore hardness. The SAG mill product is then crushed
to 100 percent of the material passing 3.35 millimeters and is subjected to a
standard Bond ball mill work index grinding test to provide the total pinion
energy at the specified grind size for mill design purposes. 


The test work was conducted by Inspectorate Mining and Exploration Services Ltd.
of Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. Inspectorate is a highly reputable
independent laboratory with more than 85 years experience in the field. The
Windfall Lake gold project SAGDesign test work was monitored by John Starkey of
Starkey & Associate, a Qualified Person under national Instrument 43-101. 


Previous metallurgical testing, completed in the summer of 2011 by G&T
Metallurgical Services Ltd, indicated up to 97 percent recovery from a
combination of a gravity circuit and a flotation cell. Additional metallurgical
testing is currently underway and results will be released when they become
available. 


Jean-Philippe Desrochers, Ph.D., P.Geo., is a Qualified Person registered in
Quebec as defined by NI-43-101 and has reviewed the technical information that

About the Windfall Lake Property 

The Windfall Lake Property is comprised of 370 contiguous claims (over 12,000
hectares) in the Abitibi mineralized belt of northern Quebec. This area between
Val-d'Or and Chibougamau is known for its gold and copper production and
excellent infrastructure for exploration and mining. Historically, the Windfall
Lake Property has had extensive historic grassroots exploration work. Along with
its independently acquired claims at the Windfall Lake Property. Eagle Hill has
signed options with Murgor Resources Inc., Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.
(formerly, Freewest Resources Canada Inc.), and Noront Resources Inc. to acquire
the Windfall Lake Property. During July 2012, the Company received its second
mineral resource estimate, the results of which are displayed in the table
below:
