Ned Goodman Rejoins Excellon Board of Directors

Toronto, Ontario – July 28, 2015 – Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX:EXN; OTC:EXLLF) ("Excellon" or the “Company"),Mexico’s highest grade silver producer, is pleased to announce that Mr. Ned Goodman has rejoined the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Goodman served as a board member of Excellon from April 2013 to February 2014 and Special Advisor to the board until recently.

“We are delighted to welcome Ned back on the Board,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “His experience as an industry leader and company builder is invaluable.  He returns to the Board at a vital time, as we upgrade Platosa into one of the lowest cost silver mines in the industry and position the Company to take full advantage of the opportunities afforded by current market conditions.”

Mr. Goodman has made transformative and enduring contributions to Canada’s minerals industry and capital markets as a company-builder, merchant banker and investment advisor during a dynamic career spanning almost half a century. He applied his geological training and business acumen to help build several successful mining companies – notably International Corona and Kinross Gold – and nurtured many other mineral producing companies through astute and timely investments. 

He is considered one of the leading architects of Canada’s investment management industry. Along with his partners, he founded the first exploration flow-through partnership, CMP Group, which has raised almost $5 billion since the 1980s to help companies explore and develop mining and petroleum companies, leading to a generation of jobs and benefits for rural and northern economies in Canada. He was also the driving force of the Dundee group of financial companies, which grew under his leadership from a $300-million base to a $50-billion mutual fund entity.

Mr. Goodman is the founder and benefactor of the Goodman School of Mines at Laurentian University and the Goodman Institute of Investment Management at Concordia University.  He is also the Chancellor of Brock University in Ontario, Chairman Emeritus of the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews, a Governor of Junior Achievement of Canada and a former Director of the Mount Sinai Hospital Foundation. He is also a founding director of the Roasters Foundation, the Jodamada Foundation and the Dynamic Fund Foundation.

Mr. Goodman holds a B.Sc. in geology from McGill University and an M.B.A. from the University of Toronto. He earned the designation of Chartered Financial Analyst in 1967.  In 1997, he was awarded a Doctorate of Laws, honoris causa, by Concordia University.
