[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToronto Stock Exchange - EXN\n\n\nTORONTO, April 4, 2013 /CNW/ - Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: EXN) (\"Excellon\" or \"the Company\"), Mexico's highest grade silver producer, is pleased to report results\n from the recently-completed fall and winter diamond drilling programs\n on the company's Beschefer and DeSantis properties, both located in the\n prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Northeastern Ontario and\n Northwestern Quebec.  The programs followed up on known mineralization\n as well as investigating previously untested geophysical anomalies and\n regional geological targets.  Highlights of the drilling programs\n include:\n\n\nBeschefer Project● Significant gold mineralization intersected within the B14 Shear Zone:\n\n\n1.95 g/t Au over 17.85 metres (\"m\"), including 3.08 g/t Au over 2.51 m\n in BE13-035;\n\n\n55.60 g/t Au (uncut) over 5.57 m (13.64 g/t cut to 34 g/t) in BE13-038,\n 100 metres down dip from previously released BE12-014, which\n intersected 13.07 g/t Au (uncut) over 8.75 metres (8.87 g/t cut to 34\n g/t); \n\n\nAssays pending from four follow-up holes.\n\n\nDeSantis Project● A new Au-mineralized zone hosted by hydrothermally-altered mafic\n volcanics intersected 300 m into the footwall from previously-known\n mineralization\n\n\n0.51 g/t Au over 57.60 m, including 1.35 g/t Au over 6.15 m in\n DS11-016B;\n\n\n2.16 g/t Au over 31.70 m, including 4.09 g/t Au over 7.20 m in\n DS11-016F;\n\n\n2.68 g/t Au over 3.10 m in DS13-007;\n\n\nAssays pending from several holes.\n\n\nJohn Sullivan, Vice-President of Exploration stated, \"Our 2013 Canadian drilling programs validate the significant upside\n potential of both of these projects. The Beschefer results have\n extended the known B14 Zone mineralization and demonstrate the\n project's high-grade gold potential.  At DeSantis, we have discovered\n new gold bearing alteration and stratigraphy immediately west of the\n heart of the century-old Timmins Gold camp.  While Excellon's primary\n exploration focus remains on growing our La Platosa manto resource in\n Mexico, our Canadian team will assess these promising results over the\n coming months in preparation for future exploration programs.\" \n\n\nBeschefer Program\nThe Beschefer property is located in northwestern Quebec 12 km east of\n the past-producing Sel...
