Eagle Hill Begins June Drill Program at Windfall Lake
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jun 22, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation (TSX VENTURE: EAG) ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has begun its June 2010 drill program on its Windfall Lake Property (the "Property").
Eagle Hill has continued the development of its 3-D Gemcom model for the Windfall Lake Property. The completion of this phase of the 3-D model of the Property's gold deposit is a critical step in the process of moving towards the Company's goal of understanding the controls of the mineralization and establishing continuity between the gold zones at the Windfall Lake Property. Furthermore, the model allows the Company to further explore for new gold deposits at the entire property-scale by providing specific exploration criteria such as structural controls, geometry of mineralized zones and genetic modelling. The new interpretation shows that shallow dipping manto-style mineralized zones are not as extensive as previously thought, but are replaced by wide sub-vertical mineralized zones, as shown on the model posted on the Company's website, www.eaglehillexploration.com.
Eagle Hill continues to focus on a strategy that utilizes all available data resulting from the past drilling, while developing its own exploration and modelling approach. The Company believes that the Windfall Lake Property requires a systematic understanding of the geological settings and a thorough understanding of gold bearing structures.
Based on the updated 3-D Gemcom model of the gold deposit, the Company has developed the next phase of drilling that commenced last week. The drilling program will consist of 15,000 meters of drilling and will be divided into three phases, each phase consisting of 5,000 meters of drilling. The first phase of the drilling program consists of 14 drill holes for a total of 5,000 meters. This initial phase of drilling is testing a 20 meter wide, high grade section of the main zone over a strike length of over 250 meters and a dip extent of nearly 150 meters. The Company's objective is to prove continuity of the main mineralized zone to apply the new-found knowledge of the mineralization and apply it to future exploration of additional zones. The 3-D model posted on the Company's website shows the intended 14 hole drill program.
The Company believes that based on the continuously growing comprehension of the geological settings and the mineralization, the drilling program during 2010 will help the company to firmly outline the gold deposit at the Windfall Lake Property.
Eagle Hill will announce the results of the June 2010 drill program upon receipt of material assay results, anticipated over the next two month period.
