Excellon Resources Inc. announced the expansion of the Silver City Project in Saxony, Germany. The three exploration licenses added to the Silver City Project are as follows: Frauenstein (5,700 hectares): Silvr mining in this area has been documented as early as the 13th century. Records indicate significant production of silver ranging from the early 1700s until closure in 1884. Operations seldom exceeded 50 metres below surface. Recent analysis conducted by the MSAG (Mineral Systems Analysis Group, TU Freiberg and Helmholtz Institute Freiberg) confirmed silver grades up to multiple kilograms per tonne and significant gold values. Mohorn (5,700 hectares): Production of silver on the Mohorn license dates back to the early 1700s with records indicating high grade silver production at up to 3,400 g/t Ag from 1770 to 1883, when the Erzengel Michael mine, the largest historical mine on the license, ceased production. Geophysical surveys conducted in the 1950s confirmed the continuity of these veins along strike and documented workings terminate at 150 metres below surface. Primary mining of lead and zinc continued until 1969 at Halsbrucke, with mining reaching up to 559 metres below surface and historical mineral reserves remaining at depth. Oederan (6,300 hectares): The Oederan license extends the Bräunsdorf trend southward and encompasses numerous poorly documented historical mines dating back to medieval times, the most significant of which was Hilfe Gottes, which ceased production in 1855. The Silver City District was mined for highgrade silver from the 11th until the late 19th century, when Germany left the silver standard in 1873 and the gold:silver ratio collapsed. Records from the project indicate highgrade silver production over substantial widths throughout the district. Excellon has embarked on the first modern day exploration program focused on precious metals, with highgrade silver intersections from the initial holes of the first program on the Bräunsdorf license including: 1,043 g/t silver equivalent ("AgEq") over 1.3 metres (954 g/t Ag, 0.1 g/t Au, 0.7% Pb and 2.0% Zn) at Grauer Wolf; and 1,042 g/t AgEq over 0.45 metres (911 g/t Ag, 0.4 g/t Au, 2.8% Pb and 0.9% Zn) at Peter Vein. The Frauenstein, Mohorn and Oederan exploration licenses were granted to the Company following applications to the Sächsisches Oberbergamt (Saxon Mining Authority). Excellon also holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Bräunsdorf license on the Silver City Project from Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. and (FRA: G1MN).
