Eagle Hill Announces Three Year Extension of Windfall Lake Option Agreement
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/22/13 -- Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation ("Eagle Hill" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amending agreement (the "Amending Agreement") with Noront Resources Ltd. ("Noront"), dated April 19, 2013, to amend certain provisions of the option agreement entered into between the parties on July 20, 2009 (the "Option Agreement") for the Windfall Lake Property ("Windfall Lake" or the "Property").
"The three year extension period will allow Eagle Hill to continue to develop the Windfall Lake Property. We look forward to the next stage of our property's development and getting one step closer to Quebec's next gold mine." stated P. Bradley Kitchen, President and CEO of Eagle Hill.
Salient points of the Amending Agreement are as follows:
To incentivize Eagle Hill to make the Extension Payment and close the Amending Agreement within 90 days, Noront will have the right to purchase back 75% of the Property from the Company for $6 million if Eagle Hill does not make the extension payment within the 90 day period. Alternatively, if Noront does not elect to exercise this buy-back right, Noront's interest in the Property will increase to 30% upon failure of Eagle Hill to make the Extension Payment. All other terms and conditions of the Option Agreement remain. The Amending Agreement will be available on SEDAR on April 23, 2013.
About the Windfall Lake Property
The Windfall Lake Property is comprised of 362 contiguous claims (over 12,000 hectares) in the Abitibi mineralized belt of northern Quebec. This area between Val-d'Or and Chibougamau is known for its gold and copper production and excellent infrastructure for exploration and mining. Historically, the Windfall Lake Property has had extensive grassroots exploration work. Along with its independently acquired claims at the Windfall Lake Property, Eagle Hill has signed options with Noront (as described above) and also jointly with Murgor Resources Inc. and Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (formerly, Freewest Resources Canada Inc.) to acquire the Windfall Lake Property. During July 2012, the Company received its second mineral resource estimate, the results of which are displayed in the table below:
