Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 4, 2024) - Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: EXN) (OTCQB: EXNRF) (FSE: E4X2) ("Excellon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") of up to 7,500,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.18 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $1,350,000.

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a "Warrant").

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for advancement of the Company's mineral projects and for general working capital and corporate purposes. A portion of the net proceeds will also be used to receive final assay results from the Company's 2,100 metre drill program at the Kilgore Project in 2022. The remaining assays include approximately 1,600 metres of drilling, which will be used for further target identification and continued exploration drilling.

The Offering may close in one or more tranches as determined by the Company, with the first tranche anticipated to close on or about April 19, 2024, and is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX").

In connection with the Offering, certain arm's-length parties may receive a cash finder's fee payment and/or warrants to purchase Common Shares in consideration of Units that are sold to subscribers introduced by such parties.

The Units will be offered: (a) by way of private placement in each of the provinces of Canada pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws; (b) in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, by way of private placement pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements provided for under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"); and (c) in jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States on a private placement or equivalent basis. The securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period in Canada pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

The securities offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any state securities law, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy in the United States nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
