Eagle Hill Intercepts High Grade Gold With 288.5 g/t Gold Over 12.4 Meters at Windfall Lake

Eagle Hill Exploration (TSXV:EAG) reported high grade gold results from its winter 2013 drill program at the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit in Northwestern Quebec. Highlights include 288.5 g/t Au over 12.4 meters and 22.1 g/t Au over 5.5 meters both located in the Main Zone.

As quoted in the press release:

Drill hole EAG-12-466 intersected 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 July 5th, 2011) located some 35 meters below on the same section.

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.
