Eagle Hill's Fall 2013 Drilling Program Discovers Extension to Main Zone at Windfall Lake Gold Project

05.11.2013  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov 5, 2013) - Eagle Hill Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EAG)(OTCQX:EHECF)(FRANKFURT:EH0) ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") is pleased to announce first results from the Company's fall 2013 drilling program. The Company drilled three sections, stepping out 150, 300 and 500 metres along strike to the southwest of the Main Zone gold mineralization. Each section intersected a number of high-grade gold intervals, confirming the potential to extend the known gold resource in this direction.

The fall 2013 diamond drill program started on September 12 with the objective of completing a 25,000-metre program by year-end, focused on expanding the existing mineral resource. The Company drilled 11 holes (4,821 metres) to test geophysical anomalies southwest of the tested limit of the Main Zone. Drill intercepts have demonstrated the presence of pyritic stockworks similar to the Main Zone, and assay results have confirmed significant gold mineralization in each section. Results received to date are summarized in Table 1.

Highlight intersections include:

Section 1825 (150 metres SW of Main Zone)

EAG-13-472 6.58 g/t gold over 3.5 m from 765.5 m
inc. 13.2 g/t gold over 0.9 m from 767.3 m
4.34 g/t gold over 6.6 m from 1,030.0 m
inc. 9.5 g/t gold over 1.8 m from 1,030.0 m
and 10.4 g/t gold over 0.8 m from 1,035.8 m
EAG-13-478 3.01 g/t gold over 10.2 m from 561.0 m
inc. 9.05 g/t gold over 0.4 m from 561.0 m
and 11.1 g/t gold over 1.0 m from 563.0 m
EAG-13-481 250.0 g/t gold over 0.5 m from 197.5 m

Section 1700 (300 metres SW of Main Zone)

EAG-13-471 8.44 g/t gold over 0.9 m from 240.3 m
EAG-13-479 131.0 g/t gold over 0.6 m from 40.4 m

Section 1500 (500 metres SW of Main Zone)

EAG-13-473 4.66 g/t gold over 0.5 m @ from 214.8 m

"This first round of wide-spaced drilling to the southwest of the Main Zone is very encouraging, with gold mineralization in every section, a number of high-grade gold intervals and some wide mineralized intersections," said Dr. Mike Andrews, Director and Interim President of Eagle Hill. "These results support our hypothesis, based on geophysics of the area and limited previous drilling, that mineralization continues to the southwest of the Main Zone."

The three diamond drill rigs have been relocated to the Main Zone to focus on expanding the strike length of the major resource lenses (the Zone 27, Caribou, Mink and Mallard zones). Zone 27 has more than 700 metres strike length of continuous gold mineralization, with highlight intersections including 23.8 g/t gold over 25.0 metres (hole EAG-12-318), 14.2 g/t gold over 52.0 metres (hole EAG-10-196) and 12.22 g/t gold over 21.0 metres (hole EAG-11-259).1 The Company plans to drill 14 holes around Zone 27 to test lateral extensions of the higher grade and thicker gold shoots, along with limited infill drilling, and also plans to drill a total of 32 holes to test the lateral strike extensions the Caribou, Mink and Mallard zones.

A down-hole induced polarization geophysics program is underway to identify possible depth extensions of gold mineralized lenses below the Main Zone. Previous drilling in this area identified 15.34 g/t gold over 11.0 metres at a depth of 870 metres.1

Eagle Hill will have more than 50,000 metres of new drilling to incorporate into an updated resource estimate in early 2014, with 106 holes totalling 29,208 metres drilled since the 2012 resource estimate and the addition of 25,000 metres from the current program.

About the Windfall Lake Gold Project

The Windfall Lake gold deposit comprises a number of lenses of pyritic stockworks and shears hosted in Archean felsic and intermediate volcanics situated in the Urban-Barry Greenstone Belt, approximately 200 km northeast of Val d'Or, Quebec. SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. completed a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate for Eagle Hill in July 2012 based on historical drilling by Eagle Hill and previous operators. The estimated resource comprises 1,665,000 tonnes at 10.05 g/t gold (538,000 ounces) in the indicated category and 2,906,000 tonnes at 8.76 g/t gold (822,000 ounces) in the inferred category. The bulk of the mineralization occurs in the Main Zone, a southwest/northeast trending zone of stacked mineralized lenses, measuring approximately 600 metres wide and at least 1,400 metres long.

About Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation

Eagle Hill Exploration Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the exploration and development of the high-grade Windfall Lake Gold Deposit, located between Val-d'Or and Chibougamau in Quebec. Southern Arc Minerals and Dundee Corporation each hold a 26.14% interest in Eagle Hill and recently invested an aggregate of $12 million to consolidate ownership of the property and fund an aggressive exploration program.

Qualified Person

The technical information in this document has been reviewed by Eagle Hill's Vice President Exploration, Jean-Philippe Desrochers, PhD, PGeo, who has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralization under consideration and qualifies as a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The drill program and sampling protocol is managed by Eagle Hill under the supervision of Jean-Philippe Desrochers. The diamond drill holes are drilled at NQ sizes and core recovery to date has averaged better than 95.0%. Half core is cut by rock saw and is generally sampled using nominal 1-metre intervals; however, sample intervals vary according to geological contacts and have ranged between 0.3 to 1.5 metres in length. Two quality control samples (one blank and one certified reference material) are inserted into each batch of 20 samples. All assays were performed by ALS Chemex Laboratory Group, in Val d'Or, Quebec. The half core samples are securely transported from the project site to the ALS Chemex laboratory by Eagle Hill personnel. Gold analyses reported in this release were performed by standard fire assay using a 30-gram charge with atomic absorption finish and a gravimetric finish for assays greater than 10 grams per tonne and by metallic sieve method for samples containing significant amounts of pyrite or visible gold. In addition, an Aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES finish is used to analyse a full suite of elements including silver and base metals.
