Message: Eagle Hill Identifies New Gold Zone

Extension at Depth With 24.46 g/t of Gold Over 7.4 Meters Below the Red Dog Intrusion

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/07/12 -- Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EAG) is very pleased to announce additional assay results from the Company's current drill program at the Windfall Lake Property, located in Quebec. Drill Hole EAG-11-311 was extended to a total length of 1,037 meters to test gold mineralization below the Red Dog intrusion and returned an intercept of 24.46 g/t Au over 7.4 meters. Additional significant near surface gold mineralization was discovered on section 2825 mE with 2.82 g/t Au over 14.0 meters at only 15 meters below surface.
Deep intercept


-- Drill hole EAG-11-311 was extended from its original depth of 452 meters
to 1,037 meters to test gold mineralization below the Red Dog intrusion.
This drill hole was successful at intersecting deep gold mineralization
with 24.46 g/t Au over 7.4 meters at a vertical depth of 785 meters.
This new intercept is interpreted as the western extension of a similar
zone that assayed 16.3 g/t Au over 2.5 meters in drill hole EAG-12-320,
located some 150 meters to the east (published on March 1, 2012). In
addition, this same drill hole also intersected the depth extension of
Zone 27 at 717.8 meters down the hole with 31.5 g/t Au over 0.4 meters.


Near surface gold mineralization


-- Eagle Hill continues to drill a series of shallow holes to test for near
surface gold mineralization. Drill hole EAG-12-423 intersected a thick
gold interval at only 15 meters below the surface with an interval of
2.82 g/t Au over 14.0 meters, including 10.49 g/t Au over 3.5 meters, in
the eastern portion of the deposit.


Caribou Zone


-- Drill hole EAG-12-424 tested the eastern extension of the Caribou Zone
at 310 meters below surface and intersected 4.75 g/t Au over 3.4 meters,
including 12.0 g/t Au over 1.0 meter. This intercept continues to
indicate that the gold mineralization extends to the east in the Caribou
Zone. The same drill hole also intersected 5.84 g/t Au over 2.2 meters
from the Caribou South Zone at 245 meters below surface.


"The Windfall Lake gold deposit is a large, high grade gold resource defined to a depth of approximately 500 meters on a strike length of 750 meters. It is a mesothermal type deposit and historically these deposits can extend to a depth of 3 to 5 times the strike length. The new assay results represent high grade extensions at depth of the defined, closer to surface gold zones. These results provide evidence to the theory that the Windfall Lake deposit has potential to continue to expand at depth," stated Brad Kitchen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Hill Exploration.
Eagle Hill has completed 22,866 meters of the current 25,000 meter drill program. 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 Hill's website at www.eaglehillexploration.com/sections.
