Toronto, Ontario – November 18, 2021 – Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX:EXN, NYSE:EXN and FRA:E4X2)  ("Excellon" or the “Company") is pleased to report that the United States Forest Service (“USFS”) has authorized Excellon’s Plan of Operations for the Kilgore Gold Project (the “Plan”) to conduct mineral exploration activities in the Dubois Ranger District, Clark County, Idaho.

“We appreciate the dedication of the USFS to ensure that our plan for the Kilgore Project includes the appropriate safeguards to protect the lands, waters and wildlife on the project and surrounding region,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and CEO. “Our team in Idaho, led by Senior Project Manager, Phil Bandy, has also demonstrated patience and flexibility in enhancing our plan based on the recommendations of the USFS. We expect to provide updates on the next stages of our exploration plans for Kilgore in the coming days.”

As required by the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”), the Dubois Ranger District, Caribou-Targhee National Forest, and FS Region 4 conducted an environmental assessment (“EA”) of the Plan submitted to the USFS in July 2020. After thorough review, the USFS determined that the Plan of Operations includes appropriate safeguards and issued a Decision Notice/Finding of No Significant Impact (“DN/FONSI”).

The Plan provides for drilling at 130 locations on several prospective target areas associated with the Kilgore gold deposit, with the permitted program expected to be completed in three to five years.
