(TSX:EXN, EXN.WT, EXN.WT.A; OTC:EXLLF) (\"Excellon\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of a 3,000 metre diamond drill program at its 100% owned Miguel Auza project in Zacatecas State, Mexico. This is the first drilling at Miguel Auza since 2010 and follows an extensive, year-long prospecting and mapping program which has identified several high priority targets. \n\n\n \n \n\n \nHighlights \n\n\nInitial 3,000 metre drill program commenced on four priority targets\n25 line kilometres of induced polarization (\"IP\") surveying completed on initial targets \nExtensive prospecting work and 130 km2 of detailed mapping across the 14,000-hectare property has identified seven additional targets for follow up\nSampling of previously unsampled historical diamond core includes 0.7 g/t Au, 5,900 g/t Ag, 3.0% Pb and 3.0% Zn over 0.2 metres in hole 2007-122 on the El Carmen Vein\nHistorical results from diamond drilling at Miguel Auza believed to be indicative of a larger epithermal system include:\n\n7,601 g/t Ag, 3.4% Pb, 1.9% Zn over 0.4 metres and 7,377 g/t Ag, 0.3 g/t Au, 4.7% Pb and 5.3% Zn over 0.5 metres in hole CC-2005-01\n207 g/t Ag, 6.5 g/t Au, 3.9% Pb and 4.9% Zn over 2.7 metres in hole 2005-10\n3,291 g/t Ag, 0.4 g/t Au, 1.7% Pb and 0.4% Zn over 0.5 metres in hole 2008-194\n503 g/t Ag, 6.8 g/t Au, 3.3% Pb and 2.2% Zn over 0.7 metres in hole 2007-118\n\n\"We are excited to be drilling at Miguel Auza for the first time since 2010 on what we believe is an under-explored part of the northern Fresnillo silver trend, one of the richest silver belts in the world,\" stated Ben Pullinger, Senior Vice President Geology. \"Our recent exploration has encountered strong indicators at surface that suggest we are above the productive part of an epithermal system. This drill program is intended to test mineralized veins and ...
