Excellon Announces Final 2010 Assays and Provides an Exploration Update

Excellon Resources (TSX:EXN) announced its’ results from assays for the final two 2010 massive sulphide intersections in the Pierna Manto, Mexico.

The press release is quoted as saying:

Hole LP884 intersected 10.76 metres (m) of massive sulphides grading 727g/t (21 oz/T) Ag, 8.38% Pb, 17.06% Zn. Hole LP883 intersected 4.61 m grading 709 g/t (21 oz/T) Ag, 8.69% Pb, 15.12% Zn. The Pierna Manto was discovered in October 2010 and lies between the Rodilla and NE-1 Mantos. There are now eight holes with significant sulphide intersections in Pierna and it remains open to the northwest along a significant northwest-southeast trending structure that has not been fully defined. Additional drilling is planned for early 2011.

John Sullivan, Excellon’s Vice-President of Exploration, said:

“We are very pleased by the growth of the new high-grade Pierna Manto; this almost immediately impacts future production planning and again demonstrates Platosa’s high discovery potential,”
