Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EAG)(OTCQX:EHECF) ("Eagle Hill"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced a
25,000-metre drill program. Three diamond drill rigs started drilling on
September 12 with the objective of expanding the existing mineral resource,
estimated by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. in July 2012 at 538,000 ounces @ 10.05
grams per tonne ("g/t") gold in the indicated category and 822,000 ounces @ 8.76
g/t gold in the inferred category.(1) Following completion of this program in
December, Eagle Hill plans to release an updated resource estimate in early
2014. 


The majority of the mineral resource is hosted in the Main Zone, comprising the
27, Caribou, Mink and Mallard Gold Lenses. The deposit is well defined from
surface to a depth of 500 metres, and remains open along strike and at depth.
Eagle Hill plans to expand the resource by testing a large, sparsely drilled
anomaly to the west of the Main Gold Zone, drilling lateral extension of known
gold lenses, and testing the extension of mineralization at depth.


The first 4,300 metres of drilling will be focused to the west of the Main Zone,
where geophysical characteristics and previous drilling identified
mineralization similar to that hosted in the Main Zone. Drilling by Noront
Resources intersected 11.2 g/t gold over 5.5 metres(2 ), approximately 150
metres west of the Main Zone at a depth of 700 metres and on strike with Lense
27. Eagle Hill plans to drill eleven holes in this area to test the potential to
extend the strike of the Main Gold Zone by another 500 metres to the west. 


The next 17,000 metres of drilling will focus on expanding the strike length of
the 27, Caribou, Mink and Mallard Gold Lenses. Lense 27 has more than 700 metres
strike length of continuous gold mineralization, with highlight intersections
including 23.8 g/t gold over 25.0 metres (hole EAG-12-318), 14.2 g/t gold over
52.0 metres (hole EAG-10-196) and 12.22 g/t gold over 21.0 metres (hole
EAG-11-259).(2) The Company plans to drill 14 holes in Lense 27 to test lateral
extensions of the higher grade and thicker gold shoots, along with limited
infill drilling. Eagle Hill plans to drill an additional 32 holes in the
Caribou, Mink and Mallard Gold Lenses to test their lateral strike extensions.


Additional drilling will be completed at depth below the Red Dog intrusion in
the Main Zone. Previous drilling in this area identified 15.34 g/t gold over
11.0 metres at a depth of 870 metres.(2 ) Down-hole geophysics and four deep
drill holes will allow the Company to plan a comprehensive deep drilling
program.


Eagle Hill will have more than 50,000 metres of new drilling to incorporate into
the updated resource estimate in early 2014, with 106 holes totalling 29,208
metres drilled since the 2012 resource estimate and the addition of 25,000
metres in the current program.


Eagle Hill is also pleased to announce the appointment of Daniel Racine to the
Board of Directors. Mr. Racine is a Professional Engineer and is currently
President and Chief Operating Officer of Brigus Gold. Prior to his appointment
at Brigus Gold, Mr. Racine was Senior Vice President Mining of Agnico-Eagle
Mines Limited where he was responsible for Agnico-Eagle's global mining
operations. Mr. Racine joined Agnico-Eagle as a junior Mining Engineer in 1988
and took on progressively senior roles, including LaRonde Mine Manager,
Vice-President Operations Manager, and Senior Vice President Operations. During
Mr. Racine's 24 years with Agnico-Eagle, the company grew from a market
capitalization of $300 million with two small operating mines to a global mining
leader with a market capitalization of $6.4 billion with five large mines in
three countries. Mr. Racine's industry experience and technical insight as a
mining engineer will be invaluable as Eagle Hill advances the Windfall Lake
Property.


(1) As announced in an Eagle Hill press release dated July 25, 2012. Of the
inferred resource, 54,000 ounces are located on the Murgor-Cliffs claims north
of the Main Zone. Eagle Hill has the right to earn up to 100% of the
Murgor-Cliffs claims.


(2) All drill results have been previously disseminated by press release and are
available on SEDAR and on Eagle Hill's website.
