"We have been involved in the development of Eagle Hill's Windfall Lake Project and the surrounding gold camp for approximately 20 years and are excited to see the project getting closer to being a producer," said Ned Goodman, President and CEO of Dundee Corporation. "We are excited to continue to support Eagle Hill and believe the high grade Windfall Lake mineralization has very good potential to grow well beyond the current resource."

"We are very pleased to bring to shareholders a series of transactions that will consolidate ownership of the Windfall Lake gold deposit. We welcome a new financial and technical partner in Southern Arc, and appreciate the confidence shown by Dundee through its increased holdings. With the closing of the Transactions, we look forward to commencing drilling in September," stated P. Bradley Kitchen, CEO and President of Eagle Hill.

Additional Details

Pursuant to the Noront Transaction, Eagle Hill will acquire all of Noront's remaining interest in the Windfall Lake Property for consideration of $5 million in cash and 25 million common shares of Eagle Hill. Eagle Hill has also made a payment of $615,000 to Noront, leaving $4,385,000 to be paid upon completion of the Transactions. Noront will not retain any net smelter royalty or further rights on the property.

Concurrent with the Noront Transaction, Eagle Hill has entered into financing agreements with Southern Arc and Dundee pursuant to which Southern Arc will make an investment of $7.3 million and Dundee will increase its existing 18.8% ownership with an additional investment of $4.7 million by way of private placements (the "Private Placements") of units (the "Units") at a price of $0.075 per Unit. Upon completion of the Transactions, Southern Arc and Dundee will each hold 26.2% of Eagle Hill. Each Unit consists of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant ("Warrant") will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of Eagle Hill at a price of $0.10 per common share for a period of four years.

Pursuant to the financing agreements, and upon closing of the Private Placements, Eagle Hill's board of directors will be reconstituted with two directors nominated by Eagle Hill, two nominated by Southern Arc and two nominated by Dundee.

The common shares to be issued pursuant to the Noront Transaction and the Private Placements will be subject to a four-month and one-day hold period in accordance with applicable securities legislation. The Transactions are subject to Eagle Hill and Southern Arc obtaining regulatory and appropriate shareholder approval.

Haywood Securities Inc. is acting as financial advisor to Eagle Hill with regard to the Transaction.

About the Windfall Lake Deposit

The Windfall Lake Property comprises 285 contiguous claims (approximately 12,400 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 gold deposit has had extensive grassroots exploration work. During July 2012, the Company updated its mineral resource estimate to reflect additional drilling, the results of which are displayed in the table below. In addition to the mineral resource listed below, the Windfall Lake gold possesses excellent potential to be expanded both laterally and at depth.
