SA Southern Arc Minerals Inc

Southern Arc Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SA)(OTCQX:SOACF) ("Southern Arc" or "the
Company") is pleased to announce that it has received shareholder approval to
complete a strategic investment and acquire a 26.14% interest in Eagle Hill
Exploration Corporation ("Eagle Hill") (TSX VENTURE:EAG), as previously
announced on July 11, 2013. Southern Arc invested $7,324,050 to acquire
97,654,000 units of Eagle Hill by way of private placement at a price of $0.075
per unit. Each unit comprises one common share of Eagle Hill and one half share
purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to acquire a
further common share of Eagle Hill at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of
four years. Should Southern Arc choose to exercise all of its warrants, the
Company would hold a 30.74% interest in Eagle Hill on a fully diluted basis, and
be the company's largest shareholder. 


Dundee Corporation (TSX:DC.A) also participated in the private placement by
investing $4,675,950 to acquire an additional 62,346,000 units of Eagle Hill,
thereby increasing its ownership of Eagle Hill from 18.8% to 26.14%.


Following Eagle Hill's annual general meeting and Board meeting, the Eagle Hill
Board of Directors comprises five directors: John Proust - Chairman, Dr. Michael
Andrews, David Christie, Carl Calandra and Robert Parsons. Bradley Kitchen and

Eagle Hill's Board of Directors promoted Dr. Jean-Philippe Desrochers to the
position of Vice President, Exploration. Dr. Desrochers has been overseeing the
Windfall Lake property since 2005. He joined Eagle Hill as Chief Geologist in
2010 and has been instrumental in the development of Eagle Hill's mineral
resource. Technical representatives from Southern Arc and Dundee will work with
Dr. Desrochers to plan and execute an exploration program for the Windfall Lake
Gold Project. Current plans for the property include a $5 million exploration
program with the objective of expanding the existing resource. More information
regarding exploration and development plans will be provided shortly.


The Eagle Hill Board of Directors will conduct an executive search to
permanently fill the positions of CEO, President and CFO.


"Eagle Hill is now well funded, with the technical and business expertise
required to unlock the full potential of the Windfall Lake Gold Project," said
John Proust, Chairman and CEO of Southern Arc. "Windfall Lake is exactly the
type of property we've been looking for. It's high-grade, has a substantial
resource that's open for expansion, and is located in a well-recognized
mining-friendly jurisdiction. We look forward to commencing drilling in
September and working with Dundee and Eagle Hill to rapidly developing the
property."
