Eagle Hill Intersects 15.24 g/t Gold Over 2.9 Meters
and Extends Zone 27 to the East
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 23, 2012) - Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EAG) is pleased to announce the release of new assay results from its current drill program targeting the eastern extension of Zone 27 at the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit in Northwestern Quebec. These results are part of an ongoing drill program designed to expand the size of the mineral resource estimate published in November 2011.
The first results of the systematic drilling in the eastern extension of gold Zone 27 demonstrate that this zone continues to deliver solid gold results at depth. Drill hole EAG-12-399 returned an interval of 15.24 g/t gold over 2.9 meters and drill hole EAG-12-400 assayed 12.1 g/t gold over 3.7 meters. Furthermore, the zone remains open for expansion to the east. The systematic drilling closer to surface, above both drill holes, on sections 2700 and 2750, intersected additional pyrite mineralization. The assay results for those drill holes will be released as they become available. The area covered by the drilling was not included in the mineral resource estimate released on November 2011. Eagle Hill will start drilling on section 2800 to expand the zone even further to the east.
In addition to the results obtained to the East, we are also pleased to report additional results in the upper extension of Zone 27, close to surface. Drill hole EAG-12-392 returned an interval of 5.5 g/t gold over 2.1 meters and other assay results are pending from drill hole EAG-12-409 where visible gold was observed in a wide mineralized zone containing up to 15 percent pyrite. A series of drill holes have been completed to test the near surface gold mineralization over a 400 meter strike-length from section 2125m to section 2525m East. The ultimate objective of this targeted drill program is to define a gold mineral resource, close to surface, that could be mined through an early stage open pit operation centred on or around the Upper Extension of Zone 27.
The drill program initiated in late May 2012 is focusing on three main objectives:
Detailed definition drilling of the near surface gold mineralization with an objective to prove out a gold mineral resource that could be mined by an open pit operation;
Expansion of the known gold zones to the east through a systematic drill pattern - the expansion of this gold mineralization to a depth of up to 450 meters could be mined through the existing ramp infrastructure at the Windfall Lake Property; and
Discovery of additional continuous gold mineralization below the Red Dog intrusion where significant gold mineralization has been discovered by our recent drilling. Eagle Hill believes that more gold mineralization can be found at greater depths since Archean gold deposits generally have a much greater vertical extent then their strike length. The gold mineralization at Windfall Lake has a current horizontal strike length of 650 meters and is still open to both the East and West.
In addition to gold mineralization near surface and Eastern expansion of Zone 27, the drilling below the Red Dog has intersected significant pyrite mineralization in association with visible gold. Assays are still pending for the other drillholes completed to the East and below the Red Dog intrusion.
The gold mineralized zones defined to date at Windfall Lake cover a lateral extension of more than 650 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 near vertical and vary in thickness between 2 meters and 35 meters. In addition to the near surface gold mineralization present at Windfall, recent drilling has demonstrated that mineralized zones continue to a depth of 770 meters below the surface with intercepts such as 8.9 g/t gold over 14.0 meters and 5.5 g/t gold over 15.0 meters below the Red Dog intrusion (March 1, 2012 press release).
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 Hills website,

The true widths are interpreted to be approximately 60 per cent of reported width. The other drill holes of this sequence not presented in this table returned only anomalous gold values or have assay results pending.
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 dOr, 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.
