VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 1, 2010) - Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EAG) is pleased to report the completion of its first phase of drilling at the Windfall Lake Property, along with its preliminary drill results. During the first phase of drilling, Eagle Hill completed 34 drill holes for a total of 9,553 meters. 23 drill holes (4,655 meters) from this program were aimed at property-scale grassroots exploration targets while 11 drill holes (4,898 meters) were aimed at enhancing the Windfall Lake Property deposit.

The first phase of drilling was highlighted by the discovery of an extensive gold mineralizing system located southwest of the previously known gold mineralization at the Windfall Lake Property. This new target, has only been intersected by 5 drill holes so far, including drill hole 196 as reported in a press release dated March 17, 2010. This target consists of evenly distributed pyritic stockwork, stringers and dissemination mineralization with local chalcopyrite and visible gold which permeates an intensely silicified and sericitized rhyolite breccia host rock. Although the geological context and style of mineralization of this new zone is the same as that of the Manto-style mineralization of Zone 27, many more drill holes will be needed to evaluate its economic potential. The following table lists some of the historical results from Zone 27:

True widths of the mineralized zones are estimated at 85% of the core

lengths reported in the table above.

Similar style of mineralization was also discovered some 850 m to the west of this zone where Eagle Hill drilled a previously untested 650 m-long IP anomaly. At present, Eagle Hill does not know how those two zones are connected at depth. A deep penetrating IP geophysical survey is planned for the summer of 2010 to determine the outline of the pyritic mineralization that hosts the gold zones.

Through a 15,000 meter drill program, set to begin in June 2010, the Company plans to further investigate this new zone to gain a better control on the distribution of the gold within this extensive mineralizing system and to determine the true extent of the gold-bearing zones.

"The extent of the gold mineralizing system was a great surprise and continues to support our bulk tonnage approach at Windfall," said Brad Kitchen, President and C.E.O. of Eagle Hill. "We're already looking forward to the next phase of drilling to start in June and we hope to continue to surpass our expectations."

The following table shows preliminary results from the pyrite stockwork mineralization, including results from the previously released drill hole EAG-10-196 and from hole EAG-10-213 drilled 86 meters to the southwest. Drill hole 213 intersected a wide zone of the pyrite stockwork mineralization containing highly anomalous gold values. Only the best assays are shown in the table below. Pending assays from the complete drill program will be released once all assay results have been received, and interpreted. A complete table of results along with photos of the drill core and a location map of drill hole collars will be shown on Eagle Hill's website at www.eaglehillexploration.com when this information is released.

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' 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. ("Murgor") 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.

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.
