Eagle Hill Intersects 8.97 g/t Gold Over 8.0 Meters at the Windfall Lake Property and Expands the Caribou Zone
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 4, 2011) -Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation(TSX VENTURE:EAG) ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received assay results from an additional 8 drill holes from the Company's 2011 drill program. The results of the drilling confirm the extension of the Caribou Zone to the east and the west and expand Zone 27 further to the east while continuing to prove out the continuity of the gold mineralization on the Windfall Lake Property (the "Windfall Lake Property" or the "Property").
Drill hole EAG-11-258 expanded the Caribou zone by 200 meters to the west with an intersection of 20.82 g/t Au over 2.0 m, only 85 meters below surface. This drill hole targeted a well-defined geophysical conductor extending to the west from the Caribou zone. The Caribou Zone was also extended to the east with drill hole EAG-11-262 that returned 8.97 g/t Au over 8.0 m. This drill hole tested a 150 meter undrilled sector between the Caribou Zone to the west and the W3 Zone to the east and this new intersection suggests that the two zones might be connected. Further drilling during the summer will test this continuity.
EAG-11-259 intersected 7.94 g/t Au over 2.0 meters within the Mink zone at 265 meters below surface. The drilling was also successful at identifying new gold mineralization between the Caribou and Mink Zones with 4.67 g/t Au over 7.0 m (EAG-11-255). New gold mineralization associated with pyrite stockwork was also intersected some 40 meters to the northwest of Zone 27 and returned 5.20 g/t Au over 5.1 m (EAG-11-259).

Eagle Hill has now completed its scheduled 10,000 meter drill program and the assay results of only the last 6 holes are still pending. 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 at www.eaglehillexploration.com/windfall_lake_property/maps/.
