RCKS Talk: Excellon Optimization Plan On-Track

Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX:EXN) reported Q1 2017 production results and an update on its ongoing optimization program at its Platosa Mine in Durango, Mexico. The optimization plan remains on schedule for the end of Q2. The company saw higher than forecasted drawdown and expects full installation to be completed during May. Production results decreased significantly YoY and QoQ, as the company faced challenging mining conditions in the Rodilla Manto during Q1. Operations and cash flow are expected to improve in H2 2017, once the optimization program has been completed. Excellon currently trades at a premium to peers, we believe this premium partially reflects the expected increase in production and lower costs once the optimization program is completed.
Sincerely,
Derek Macpherson, P.Eng, MBA | VP Mining Analysis
