About Excellon

Excellon, a mineral resource company operating in Durango State, Mexico,
is committed to building value through production, expansion and
discovery. The Company is producing silver, lead and zinc from high grade
manto deposits on its Platosa Property, strategically located in the
middle of the Mexican silver belt. In fiscal 2008, Excellon's focus is on
increasing its Mineral Resources through an aggressive $11 million
exploration program, and expanding its operating capacity with the
building of a mill at site. The Platosa Property, not fully explored, has
several geological indicators of a large mineralized system, the tracking
of which Excellon believes will lead to the discovery of a world class
deposit.
