EAGLE HILL EXPLORATION CORPORATION 
By (uncut and including 4,180 g/t Au over 0.8 meters)
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - May[14], 2013 (TSX.V: EAG) Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") is pleased to announcehigh gradegold results from its winter 2013drill program at the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit in Northwestern Quebec. The new results include 288.5 g/t Au over 12.4 meters and 22.1 g/t Au over 5.5 metersboth located in the Main Zone.
The Company recently received all the assay results of a10 drill hole, 3,966 meter drilling program completed at the beginning of March 2013. Drilling focussed on the Main Zone and confirmed the extension of several other known gold zones.
Drill hole EAG-12-466intersected 288.5 g/t Au over 12.4 meters in a sub-vertical shear zone located immediately to the northwest of Zone 27 (14.48 g/t over 12.4 m when cut to 100 g/t). The shear zone differs from the typical pyrite stockwork of Zone 27 and the other lenses of the Main Zone. This shear zone contains quartz veining with 3-10% pyrite and abundant specks of visible gold. This intercept also correlates with 13.22 g/t over 19.0 meters in drill hole EAG-11-259 (published on March 8th, 2011) located 50 meters above and with 4.3 g/t Au over 4.0 meters in drillhole EAG-11-269 (published on July5th, 2011) located some 35 meters below on the same section.
As part of the same 2013 drill program, Eagle Hill continued to expand the size of Zone 27 to the southwest. Drill hole EAG-13-461 was successful at intersecting 22.1 g/t Au over 5.5 meters in the up-plunge extension of the high grade portion of Zone 27. This intercept extends the zone for another 42 meters to the southwest where it remains open for further expansion. The new intersection is illustrated on the longitudinal section of Zone 27 available at www.eaglehillexploration.com/sections.
Additional drilling in the eastern extension of the deposit returned an intercept of 5.4 g/t Au over 43.7 meters in drill hole EAG-12-468. This drill hole intersected the un-named zone located 45 meters northwest of the Caribou Zone and expands this zone by an additional 25 meters to the west. This zone appears to end some 75 meters to the southwest of the intercept but remains open down-plunge to the northeast.
"These high grade results show the overall strength of the mineralization at the Windfall Lake gold deposit. Dr. Jean-Philippe Desrochers and his team have refined the geological model and are now in the process of expanding and upgrading our current mineral resource with the intention of proving out what will be a high grade gold reserve," stated Brad Kitchen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Hill Exploration.
The Windfall Main gold zone defined to date covers a lateral extension of more than 750 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 contained within near vertical corridors and vary in thickness between 2 meters and 35 meters.
Eagle Hill has completed a total of 106 drill holes since the last mineral resource estimate (released on July 25, 2012) that contains an indicated resource of 1,665 million tonnes at 10.05 g/t gold (for 538,000 ounces) and an inferred resource of 2,906 million tonnes at 8.76 g/t gold (for 822,000 ounces). The results of this drilling will be incorporated in a new mineral resource estimate.
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,
