Eagle Hill's 2013 Drilling Hits High Grade Gold With 288.5 g/t Gold Over 12.4 Meters

Marketwired Canada
Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:EAG) is pleased to announce high grade gold results from its winter 2013
drill program at the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit in Northwestern Quebec. The new
results include 288.5 g/t Au over 12.4 meters and 22.1 g/t Au over 5.5 meters
both located in the Main Zone.
The Company recently received all the assay results of a 10 drill hole, 3,966
meter drilling program completed at the beginning of March 2013. Drilling
focussed on the Main Zone and confirmed the extension of several other known
gold zones.
Drill hole EAG-12-466 intersected 288.5 g/t Au over 12.4 meters in a
sub-vertical shear zone located immediately to the northwest of Zone 27 (14.48
g/t over 12.4 m when cut to 100 g/t). The shear zone differs from the typical
pyrite stockwork of Zone 27 and the other lenses of the Main Zone. This shear
zone contains quartz veining with 3-10% pyrite and abundant specks of visible
gold. This intercept also correlates with 13.22 g/t over 19.0 meters in drill
hole EAG-11-259 (published on March 8th, 2011) located 50 meters above and with
4.3 g/t Au over 4.0 meters in drillhole EAG-11-269 (published on July 5th, 2011)
located some 35 meters below on the same section.
As part of the same 2013 drill program, Eagle Hill continued to expand the size
of Zone 27 to the southwest. Drill hole EAG-13-461 was successful at
intersecting 22.1 g/t Au over 5.5 meters in the up-plunge extension of the high
grade portion of Zone 27. This intercept extends the zone for another 42 meters
to the southwest where it remains open for further expansion. The new
intersection is illustrated on the longitudinal section of Zone 27 available at
www.eaglehillexploration.com/sections.
Additional drilling in the eastern extension of the deposit returned an
intercept of 5.4 g/t Au over 43.7 meters in drill hole EAG-12-468. This drill
hole intersected the un-named zone located 45 meters northwest of the Caribou
Zone and expands this zone by an additional 25 meters to the west. This zone
appears to end some 75 meters to the southwest of the intercept but remains open
down-plunge to the northeast.
"These high grade results show the overall strength of the mineralization at the
Windfall Lake gold deposit. Dr. Jean-Philippe Desrochers and his team have
refined the geological model and are now in the process of expanding and
upgrading our current mineral resource with the intention of proving out what
will be a high grade gold reserve," stated Brad Kitchen, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Eagle Hill Exploration.
The Windfall Main gold zone defined to date covers a lateral extension of more
than 750 meters and include, from South to North, the Caribou South zone, the
Caribou zone, the Mink zone, Zone 27 South, Zone 27, the Mallard zone, and the
Mallard North zone. All the zones are contained within near vertical corridors
and vary in thickness between 2 meters and 35 meters.
Eagle Hill has completed a total of 106 drill holes since the last mineral
resource estimate (released on July 25, 2012) that contains an indicated
resource of 1,665 million tonnes at 10.05 g/t gold (for 538,000 ounces) and an
inferred resource of 2,906 million tonnes at 8.76 g/t gold (for 822,000 ounces).
The results of this drilling will be incorporated in a new mineral resource
estimate.
A map of the Windfall Lake property outlining the location of the gold zones,
drill holes and areas of potential expansion, together with cross-sections, a
longitudinal section and pictures of core showing the mineralization style have
been posted on Eagle Hill's website, www.eaglehillexploration.com/sections.

Gold analyses reported in this release were performed by standard fire assay
using a 30-gram charge with atomic absorption finish and a gravimetric finish
for assays greater than 10 grams per tonne and by metallic sieve method for
samples containing significant amounts of pyrite or visible gold. All assays
were performed by ALS Chemex Laboratory Group, in Val d'Or, Que. Sampling and
analytical procedures are subject to a comprehensive quality assurance and
quality control program. The QA-QC program includes duplicate samples, blanks
and analytical standards.
