Eagle Hill drills 19 m of 13.32 g/t Au at Windfall Lake

2011-03-08 10:29 ET - News Release

Mr. Bradley Kitchen reports

EAGLE HILL CONTINUES TO INTERSECT HIGH GRADE GOLD INCLUDING 13.32 G/T GOLD OVER 19.00 METERS AT THE WINDFALL LAKE PROPERTY

Eagle Hill Exploration Corp. has released results of its successful drilling program that continues to return significant assay results over large widths while meaningfully extending the size of the known gold zones at the Windfall Lake property.

The three holes reported from the property significantly increase the size of Eagle Hill's most prolific gold zone, Zone 27. With these results, this zone has been extended by 100 metres to the east, for a known strike length of over 450 metres, and still remains open to the east. The most significant assay result from the three holes reported today is from hole EAG-11-259 that intersected 13.32 grams per tonne gold over 19 m, including a higher-grade portion of 17.81 g/t Au over nine m. The gold mineralization is hosted in a well-developed zone of disseminated and stringers of pyrite with local chalcopyrite. The results of this drill hole indicate that Zone 27 may also extend for up to 500 m vertically on this section.

Drill hole EAG-11-253 is one of the very few holes (only 10 holes over a one-kilometre strike length) that tested Zone 27 in the upper 200 m from surface. The results obtained with this hole, 9.49 g/t Au over seven m, confirm vertical and width continuity in the gold grades for Zone 27 and demonstrate that the good-grade gold mineralization, defined so far at depth, extends toward surface.

Drill hole EAG-11-254 was drilled about 50 m to the east of drill hole EAG-10-246 (10.86 g/t Au over 5.40 m) and hole EAG-11-253. This long drill hole intersected significant widths of gold mineralization in three gold zones including 12 m of 2.30 g/t Au in the Mink zone, 12.80 m of 1.13 g/t Au in the Caribou zone and eight m of 1.59 g/t Au in Zone 27. This hole is important in that it both extends the known gold zones and demonstrates continuity of gold mineralization in all the known zones.

"The success rate of hitting significant gold results in each hole of the current drill program has demonstrated that our exploration team has been able to successfully model the gold mineralization on the Windfall Lake property," stated Brad Kitchen, president and chief executive officer of Eagle Hill Exploration. "Dr. Jean-Philippe Desrochers and his team will now focus on defining additional ounces to the known gold zones and begin a more broad-reaching exploration program."

Complete results for EAG-11-259 and for drill holes EAG-11-255 to EAG-11-258 will be released as soon as they become available. Eagle Hill has completed over 7,000 m of drilling of its current drill program. Assay results for additional holes are pending and will be released when available.

A map of the Windfall Lake property outlining the location of the gold zones, drill holes and areas of potential expansion has been posted on Eagle Hill's website.

Eagle Hill would again like to announce that it is a sponsor of the 2011 Prospectors and Developers Association Conference and would invite all shareholders and interested parties to visit its display and meet the Eagle Hill team members at the delegates lounge on the 700 level of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

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. Assays returning results over one ounce per ton of gold by atomic absorption are reassayed using the metallic sieve method. 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.

Dr. Desrochers, PhD, PGeo, is a qualified person registered in Quebec as defined by NI-43-101, and has reviewed the technical information that this press release contains.

About the Windfall Lake property

The Windfall Lake property comprises 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 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.
