Eagle Hill Announces Wide Gold Intervals from the Windfall Lake Property in Quebec

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 13, 2010) - Eagle Hill Exploration Corp. ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EAG), a natural resource exploration company in the gold resource sector, is pleased to announce encouraging assay results from its initial splitting and assaying of up to 8,700 meters of previously drilled, but unsampled, core from the Windfall Lake Property located in Urban Township, Quebec. These new results, combined with previously unannounced historic results, indicate the presence of large mineralized gold zones measuring up to 41.1 metres in width.

The results of the first drill holes sampled by Eagle Hill are highlighted by significant gold grades over wide intervals such as 2.83 grams per tonne of gold over 41.1 metres and 5.95 grams per tonne of gold over 21.35 meters as well as narrower intervals with high grade gold values of 64.2 grams per tonne of gold over 1.0 meter. Partial assay results for small intervals within two of those drill holes were previously released by Noront Resources Ltd. ("Noront") and are noted in the table below.

Previously unannounced historic results include drill hole NOT-04-27 with 3.90 grams per tonne of gold over a 34.55 meter interval. The unannounced historical results were obtained through Eagle Hill's review of all know data on the Windfall Lake Property as part of the Company's development of an exploration model.

Eagle Hill has realized that, in addition to the extremely rich, but narrow structures, the gold mineralization at the Windfall Lake Property occurs also in large intervals with fairly consistent gold mineralization. With the current information, the true widths of the gold mineralized zones are unknown.

Those new results, combined with the historical results, call for Eagle Hill to refine the exploration model and to focus on both high grade vein deposits encompassed within a bulk tonnage scenario for the Windfall Lake Property. By comparison, deposits such as the high-volume bulk mining Goldex mine in Val d'Or has proven mineral reserves at 1.95 g/t gold.

The following table shows a sampling of some of the uncut newly expanded and historic assay values that support Eagle Hill's hypothesis that, in addition to high grade zones, the Windfall Lake Property contains large mineralized zones with significant gold grades. A more detailed table of the new assay results is available on Eagle Hill's website at www.eaglehillexploration.com/projects/assay-results.
