Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:EAG) is very pleased to announce that the Company has awarded to Stantec
Consulting Ltd. ("Stantec") a contract to perform a Preliminary Feasibility
Study ("PFS") on the Windfall Lake Property ("Windfall Lake" or the "Property").
The PFS is scheduled to be completed by early April, 2013. By producing an
independent PFS, together with a mineral reserve estimate, Eagle Hill will be in
a position to satisfy its obligations under the Windfall Lake Option Agreement
(the "Option Agreement") entered into on July 20, 2009 with Noront Resources
Ltd. (the "Optionor"). Once the obligations are satisfied, the buy-back
provisions contained in the Option Agreement will be eliminated. 


Under the terms of the Option Agreement to acquire the Windfall Lake Property,
Eagle Hill must give notice of the Company's commitment to cause the
commencement of commercial production on the Property within one year of earning
a 75% interest in the Windfall Lake Property (the "Notice"). Eagle Hill earned
its 75% interest in the Property on April 20, 2012. In this regard, Eagle Hill
has engaged Stantec to provide a mineral reserve estimate based on the results
of the PFS. The results of the PFS will be available on or before April 20,
2013. Upon receipt of the reserve estimate, Eagle Hill will be in a position to
deliver the Notice to the Optionor pursuant to the Option Agreement. 


"Our goal is to continue to control our majority ownership in the Windfall Lake
Property," explained Brad Kitchen, President and C.E.O. of Eagle Hill. "It is
critical to note that the PFS and mineral reserve estimate are being done at
this time to satisfy our obligation under the Option Agreement and to give us a
clear path toward commercial production as a way to generate non-dilutive cash
flow. The Company will continue to both expand the high grade gold deposit at
the Windfall Lake Property and define additional mineral resources that can be
used to increase the initial reserve calculation."


Upon Eagle Hill delivering the Notice, the Optionor will then have 180 days to
notify Eagle Hill if it wishes either to continue as a 25% joint venture partner
(currently it is a carried partner), or to transfer 100% of the Property to
Eagle Hill in exchange for a 2% NSR.


About the Windfall Lake Property

The Windfall Lake Property is comprised of 362 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 grassroots exploration work. Along with its
independently acquired claims at the Windfall Lake Property, Eagle Hill has also
signed options with Murgor Resources Inc., Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.
(formerly, Freewest Resources Canada Inc.), and Noront Resources Ltd.. 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:

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
applicable Canadian securities legislation, including predictions, projections
and forecasts. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements that address activities, events or developments that the Company
expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as
future business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion, growth of the
Company's businesses, operations, plans and with respect to exploration results,
the timing and success of exploration activities generally, permitting time
lines, government regulation of exploration and mining operations, environmental
risks, title disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage, timing and
possible outcome of any pending litigation and timing and results of future
resource estimates or future economic studies.


Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use
of words such as "plans", "planning", "planned", "expects" or "looking forward",
"does not expect", "continues", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts",
"intends", "potential", "anticipates", "does not anticipate" or "belief" or
describes a "goal" or variation of such words and phrases or state that certain
actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken,
occur or be achieved. 


Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors and
assumptions, including, the result of drilling and exploration activities, that
contracted parties provide goods and/or services on the agreed timeframes, that
equipment necessary for exploration is available as scheduled and does not incur
unforeseen break downs, that no labour shortages or delays are incurred, that
plant and equipment function as specified, that no unusual geological or
technical problems occur, and that laboratory and other related services are
available and perform as contracted. Forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, prediction, projection, forecast, performance
or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such
factors include, among others, the interpretation and actual results of current
exploration activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be
refined; future prices of gold; possible variations in grade or recovery rates;
failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; the failure of
contracted parties to perform; labour disputes and other risks of the mining
industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the
completion of exploration, as well as those factors disclosed in the company's
publicly filed documents. Although the Company has attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ
materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be
other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements
will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
