VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Mar 17, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

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 drill hole EAG-10-196 from the Company's first drill program at the Windfall Lake Property.

The complete assay results from the gold mineralized zone returned 14.20 g/t gold over 52 meters (3.42 g/t when cut to 1.00 oz/t). Eagle Hill had reported the first 33 meters of this intersection in a press release dated March 10, 2010.

Drill hole 196 is the first step-out drill hole completed at Windfall Lake by Eagle Hill, and extends the gold mineralization by 46 meters to the SW. The zone remains open towards the SW where Eagle Hill has now expanded its drill program to better delineate the extent of the gold mineralization.

"We're very pleased with these initial results which exceed our expectations and confirm the bulk tonnage potential of the Windfall gold deposit," explained Brad Kitchen, President and C.E.O. of Eagle Hill. "These high gold grades over such wide intercepts will quickly add to the potential gold resource at Windfall Lake."

The following table shows the most significant assay results from hole EAG-10-196. A complete table of results will be shown on Eagle Hill's website at www.eaglehillexploration.com.

The new results listed above are preliminary results from a 10,000 meter drilling program currently underway at the Windfall Lake Gold project. Assay results from the whole program will be released as they become available.

Gold analyses reported in this release were performed by standard fire assay using a 30g charge with Atomic Absorption finish and a gravimetric finish for assays greater than 10 g/t. Samples containing visible gold or suspected to contain coarse gold are assayed using metallic sieve method. All assays were performed by ALS Chemex Laboratory Group, in Val D'Or, Qc. Sampling and analytical procedures are subject to a comprehensive Quality Assurance and Quality Control program conceived by Murgor Resources Inc.'s technical team. The QA-QC program, includes duplicate samples, blanks and analytical standards.

Dr. Jean-Philippe Desrochers, P.Geo. and Vice-President of Exploration for Murgor Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MGR) is a Qualified Person as defined by NI-43-101 that supervised the field work reported in this press release and reviewed the technical information it contains. Murgor has entered into a services contract with the Company in which Murgor will conduct the exploration on the Windfall Lake Property.

About the Windfall Lake gold project

The Windfall Lake Property is comprised of 340 contiguous claims (10,991 hectares) in the Abitibi mineralized belt of northern Quebec.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion, growth of the Company's businesses, operations, plans and with respect to exploration results, the timing and success of exploration activities generally, permitting time lines, government regulation of exploration and mining operations, environmental risks, title disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage, timing and possible outcome of any pending litigation and timing and results of future resource estimates or future economic studies.

Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "planning", "planned", "expects" or "looking forward", "does not expect", "continues", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "potential", "anticipates", "does not anticipate", or "belief", or describes a "goal", or variation of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including, the result of drilling and exploration activities, that contracted parties provide goods and/or services on the agreed timeframes, that equipment necessary for exploration is available as scheduled and does not incur unforeseen break downs, that no labour shortages or delays are incurred, that plant and equipment function as specified, that no unusual geological or technical problems occur, and that laboratory and other related services are available and perform as contracted. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the interpretation and actual results of current exploration activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of gold; possible variations in grade or recovery rates; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; the failure of contracted parties to perform; labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of exploration, as well as those factors disclosed in the company's publicly filed documents. Although both companies have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
