At the date of this MD&A, the Company had working capital of approximately $540,000.
In January 2015, Eagle Hill completed a 20:1 share consolidation, such that every 20 existing shares were consolidated into one new share, resulting in Eagle Hill having approximately 23,843,766 shares issued and outstanding. The Company's options and warrants were also adjusted to account for the consolidation in accordance with the terms and conditions of such options and warrants.
WINDFALL LAKE GOLD PROJECT
The Windfall Lake property covers approximately 12,400 hectares in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt in Quebec, Canada. A Preliminary Economic Assessment Study for the project is underway, with results expected shortly.
The Company increased its ownership and significantly consolidated the property in 2013 and 2014 by entering into a series of purchase and option agreements, and now owns 100% of the property, subject to some residual NSRs as described in the MD&A and Financial Statements. Prior to Eagle Hill acquiring the property, more than $25 million was spent by previous owners on data collection, sampling and drilling, with the majority of expenditures focused on expanding known gold zones at the Windfall Lake Property. The acquisition came with over 71 kilometers of drill core, surface samples, geophysics data, a 58-person camp, a core logging and splitting shack, and a 1,450-metre-long, 5-metre by 5-metre underground ramp (vertical depth 100 metres). The property was logged in the 1990s and is accessible year-round by gravel logging roads.
A total of 732 holes (including six wedges and nine extensions) have been drilled at the property for a total of 194,512 metres. Drill holes in the gold zones demonstrate good grade distribution along the entire mineralized interval. High-grade mineralization has been identified in multiple zones, yet only a small portion of the 12,400 hectare property has been tested to date. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 500 metres, and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified only 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 870 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization up and down-plunge and at depth. All drill results have been press released and are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.eaglehillexploration.com.

About Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation
Eagle Hill Exploration Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the exploration and development of the high-grade Windfall Lake gold deposit, located between Val-d'Or and Chibougamau in Quebec, Canada. The current mineral resource comprises 2,375,000 tonnes at 9.75 g/t gold (744,000 ounces) in the indicated category and 3,084,000 tonnes at 7.37 g/t gold (731,000 ounces) in the inferred category (Technical Report for the Windfall Lake Gold Project, Quebec prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc., dated April 17, 2014). These grades make Windfall Lake one of the highest grade resource-stage gold projects in the world. The bulk of the mineralization occurs in the Main Zone, a southwest/northeast trending zone of stacked mineralized lenses, measuring approximately 600 metres wide and at least 1,400 metres long. The deposit remains open at depth and along strike. More information is available at www.eaglehillexploration.com.

Qualified Person
The technical information related to the metallurgical testing has been reviewed by Senior Metallurgist and Mineral processing Specialist Pierre Roy from Soutex. Other technical information in this document has been reviewed by Eagle Hill's Vice President Exploration, Jean-Philippe Desrochers, PhD, PGeo, who has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralization under consideration and qualifies as a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The drill program and sampling protocol is managed by Eagle Hill under the supervision of Jean-Philippe Desrochers. The diamond drill holes are drilled at NQ sizes and core recovery to date has averaged better than 95.0% . Half core is cut by rock saw and is generally sampled using nominal 1-metre intervals; however, sample intervals vary according to geological contacts and have ranged between 0.3 to 1.5 metres in length. Two quality control samples (one blank and one certified reference material) are inserted into each batch of 20 samples. All assays were performed by ALS Chemex Laboratory Group, in Val d'Or, Quebec. The half core samples are securely transported from the project site to the ALS Chemex laboratory by Eagle Hill personnel. Gold analyses reported in this release were performed by standard fire assay using a 30-gram charge with atomic absorption finish and a gravimetric finish for assays greater than 10 grams per tonne and by metallic sieve method for samples containing significant amounts of pyrite or visible gold. In addition, an Aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES finish is used to analyse a full suite of elements including silver and base metals.
