Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation is pleased to announce that on June 22, 2007 it entered into a Letter of Intent to earn up to a 70% interest, from War Eagle Mining Company Inc. (”War Eagle”) in a mineral property known as the Mac Property (the “Property”), located in southwestern Northwest Territories. The proposed transaction (the “Transaction”) will serve as Eagle Hill’s Qualifying Transaction pursuant to TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) Policy 2.4. The Transaction is not a Non-Arms Length Qualifying Transaction. Shareholder approval of the Transaction is not required.

The Property claims are located approximately 30 km NW of the closest town of Cantung. The claims were staked to cover the Little Nahanni Pegmatite Group (”LNPG”), a pegmatite dyke swarm of the lithium-cesium-tantalum (”LCT”) geochemical type. These types of systems are the primary source of the world’s tantalum, as well as important producers of other rare metals such as tin, lithium, and rubidium. A Technical Report on the Property, dated June 2007, prepared in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 will be filed with the required regulatory bodies.

The Property consists of seven contiguous claims that cover a 4,473-hectare area flowing in a NorthWest trending fashion. Access to the property is currently best achieved via helicopter; however, alternate ground access by way of an overgrown cat trail running towards Howards Pass, comes within 1 km of the Property. This cat trail connects with the Nahanni Range Road, a full service gravel road leading to the town of Tungsten.

The focus of a previously completed 2006 field program was reconnaissance mapping, silt sampling, and soil sampling. Mapping efforts revealed additional dykes to both the west and south, thus extending the outer limits of the known pegmatite field. The collection and interpretation of 34 silt geochemistry samples highlighted three areas of known mineralization and determined geochemical background levels for the LNPG area. A soil geochemistry program comprising 47 samples was successful in that it revealed two possible areas of previously unknown mineralization, thus verifying its usefulness as an exploration technique in areas with sufficient soil development. Robust assay techniques were used for both soil and silt samples to ensure complete digestion of refractory phases, such as rare-element oxides.

Following the field program, a 3D digital base for the LNPG area was developed by Challenger Geomatics Limited (”Challenger”). The model developed by Challenger incorporates existing geological and geochemical data and will facilitate future work. In particular, the model should greatly improve the precision and efficiency of a drilling program due to the illustration of the three-dimensional structural complexity of the dyke swarm.

The combination of previous geological and geochemical data, new data from the 2006 season, and a digital 3D model of the area, was done in preparation for a proposed drilling program. A drill program of $500,000 would answer some fundamental questions about the structure and potential size of the LNPG dyke swarm, while a larger budget could allow for a fuller characterization of this geologically and geometrically complex system. In addition to drilling, a detailed ground survey of known pegmatite dykes, a ground-based geophysics program, and continued mapping and soil sampling of the area would contribute to the understanding of the LNPG.

Eagle Hill entered into the LOI with War Eagle, the 100% owner of the Property, to earn up to a 70% undivided interest in the Property over a period of four years. Under the terms of the LOI, Eagle Hill will be granted, subject to an existing 2% net smelter return (”NSR”), sole and exclusive rights to earn up to 70% interest in the Property in consideration of incurring a total of $2,800,000 in expenditures on the Property in accordance with the following schedule:

a) $1,400,000 on or before December 31, 2009 to earn a 25% interest in the Property;

b) an additional $700,000 on or before December 31, 2010 to earn a 50% interest in the Property;

c) an additional $700,000 on or before December 31, 2011 to earn the full 70% interest in the Property.

War Eagle Mining is a British Columbia company publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (symbol: WAR). No new insiders will be created as a result of the Transaction and no finders fees paid in regards to the Transaction.

Concurrent with the Exchange approval of the Transaction, Eagle Hill will conduct a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) consisting of 6.5 million “flow-through” common shares (the “Shares”) priced at $0.20 per Share for gross proceeds of $1.3 million. The proceeds will be used to satisfy Eagle Hill’s expenditure obligations on the Property for the first two years.

It is intended that trading in the common shares of Eagle Hill will remain halted until the Exchange has approved the Transaction and the concurrent Offering.

Eagle Hill is hoping to initiate the exploration program scheduled for this summer and has been notified that work crews are available to proceed on the Property upon the receipt of Exchange approval of the Transaction.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

P. Bradley Kitchen, President, Director

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions including but not limited to, Exchange acceptance. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with the transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.

The TSX Venture Exchange has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the content of this press release.
