Excellon Resources Inc. announced that the exploration plans were delayed in 2020 due to COVID-19 but 2020 exploration activities resumed in third quarter, with an underground drill rig focused on definition and expansion of existing resources, complemented by surface rigs testing for continued expansion of the known mantos to the south of 623 and regional targets at PDN. An additional rig was deployed at the end of third quarter 2020 for drilling at Jaboncillo. The Company plans to drill and test the Jaboncillo, PDN and 10-20 targets during the first six months of 2021. The Company also intends to continue exploration with one to two rigs from underground with the intention of further defining and expanding the resource. At the Silver City Project, the Company has applied for a new Drilling Operation Plan (“DOP”) for 2021 drilling on four priority targets where the Company has intersected high grade mineralization, while also testing new targets over a strike length of 12-18 kilometres. In First Quarter 2021, the Company announced the expansion of the Silver City Project through the addition of three new licenses: Frauenstein (5,700 ha), Mohorn (5,700 ha) and Oederon (6,300 ha). Each of these licenses had significant historical silver production dating back to the 11th century. At the Kilgore Project, the Company aims to improve understanding of the deposit setting on a local and regional scale through: re-logging core to enhance the underlying structural and lithologic framework, improving characterization of host rocks through lithogeochemistry, and sampling and assaying of silver mineralization to potentially improve project economics. The Company also plans further regional exploration, prospecting and geophysics to generate new targets and has hired a project manager and exploration manager to advance the project.
