EXCELLON ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF STATEMENT OF CLAIM

Excellon Resources Inc. has received a statement of claim in which it has been named as a defendant in an action commenced by Javier Martinez Lomas in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, related to prior litigation against a former indirect Mexican subsidiary of Excellon. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, damages in the amount of approximately $23-million (U.S.). The claim arises from a prior dispute in Mexico involving a former subsidiary of Excellon that operated independently under Mexican law. The matter was fully litigated in the Mexican courts, where due process was followed, and the matter was believed to be resolved. The company believes that the lawsuit is an opportunistic attempt to relitigate a dispute that has already been addressed under Mexican law. Excellon believes that the claims in the action are without merit, and will take all appropriate steps to defend the action and dismiss the claim.
