TORONTO, ONTARIO, Apr 16, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: EXN) reports that its directors have approved the construction of a 350 tonnes per day (120,000 tonnes per annum) lead/zinc flotation mill at its Platosa test-mine site near Bermejillo, Mexico. Basic engineering and equipment procurement has already been initiated. Site and environmental permitting, together with tailings disposal permitting, is also underway. Mill construction is anticipated to commence in the second half of 2008 with mill commissioning to commence in the first quarter of 2009.

The mill capital cost is estimated at $10 million with an estimated payback of less than one year after reaching full commercial production.

Pending mill construction, run of test-mine production will continue to be direct shipped to the Penoles mill facilities at Naica, Mexico for further processing.
