Eagle Hill Hits Significant Gold in the First 10 Holes of the Windfall Lake Summer Drill Program

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 19, 2010) - Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EAG) is pleased to announce that it has received the final assay results from 6 more holes (Holes EAG-10-230, 232, 233, 234, 235 and 236) from the Company's 14 Hole summer drill program at the Windfall Lake Property.

The final assay results from the second 6 holes and the first 4 holes of the summer drill program (announced August 4, 2010) show gold values in 100% of the holes drilled.

Values from the 6 holes include Hole EAG-10-232 with 16.36 g/t gold over 3.35 meters (13.23 g/t when cut to 1.00 oz/t) and in the newly identified near surface zone Hole EAG-10-233 showed 2.41 g/t over 5.20 meters (the same when cut to 1.00 oz/t). Hole EAG-10-234 showed 0.93 g/t over 63 meters (0.88 g/t when cut to 1.00 oz/t). Hole EAG-10-235 had three very strong separate intercepts including 9.37 g/t gold over 4.4 meters near surface (at a depth of 72.60 meters to 77.00 meters), 10.38 g/t over 3.00 meters (7.86 g/t when cut to 1.00 oz/t) and 1.34 g/t gold over 10.00 meters (the same when cut to 1.00 oz/t). Most importantly there were gold values over widths ranging from 3.35 meters to 63.00 meters in all 10 holes drilled. In addition, these results confirm the presence of a new zone of gold mineralization at a depth of only 60 meters from the surface.

Drill holes 227 to 236 are the first ten holes from the summer drill program at Windfall Lake Property all drilled from one set-up. The summer drill program is scheduled to be 14 holes and will encompass approximately 5,000 meters in total. This phase of the drill program is just over 80% complete and the drill has been moved to a second set-up for the final 4 holes. Further assay results from the program will be released as they become available. The current drill program is the first phase of an intended 15,000 meter drill program which will have phase 2 and 3 executed over the next 6 to 9 months.

This current drill program was designed to better understand the geological structure of the gold mineralization in Zone 27. This zone encompasses historic drill holes such as NOT-04-27 (3.90 g/t gold over 35.55 meters), NOT-05-73 (39.94 g/t gold over 17.30 meters) and EAG-10-196 (14.2 g/t gold over 52.00 meters). The results from the current drill program confirm the continuity of the gold mineralization throughout Zone 27. Discovery of the potential new zone close to the surface was not anticipated. The results from the entire program will be used to update the Windfall Lake Property model. The model will then help assess new gold mineralization so that a better understanding of the property's gold deposits can be determined.
