TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 06/27/11 -- Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: EXN) is pleased to announce assays for eight holes, all from the high-grade Pierna Manto discovered in October 2010 on its 100% owned Platosa Mine property in Durango, Mexico. The best hole was LP915, which intersected 2.16 metres (m) of massive sulphides grading 1,598 g/t (46.6 oz/T) Ag, 18.19% Pb, 17.79% Zn. Hole LP914 intersected 553 g/t (16.1 oz/T) Ag, 5.33% Pb, 14.13% Zn over 3.20 m within a 7.01 m interval grading 282 g/t (8.2 oz/T) Ag, 3.09% Pb, 7.59% Zn. The Pierna Manto is now largely closed off although several small portions of the northern fringe remain to be tested. Other areas relatively close to the Platosa mining operations remain to be more thoroughly drilled and the Company expects to continue to add to its manto sulphide resource over time.
