Hallo edel,
bei EXM war es irgendwie notwendig bei mir.
werden sehen, ob es gutes Timing war.
Sehr gut entwickelt sich seit Nachkauf CPN.TO.
Echtes bargain.

Das in Ruhe durchlesen..... 
Ansonsten ist das Depot weiter gestört und eiert....
Man muss sich halt mit alten Sprüchen trösten:
"Find new friends but keep the old,
one is silver, the other gold..."
Silber wohl nur an erster Stelle des Reimes wegen oder nicht?
EXN.V mit guten Ergebnissen und der Anfang 08 erfolgenden neuen Resourceneinschätzung. Kann nur gut werden.
Excellon Announces High-Grade Assay Results, Mobilizes Fourth Drill and Schedules Commencement of Mineral Resource Update for October
Wednesday August 22, 8:02 am ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 22, 2007) - Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EXN - News) announces high-grade assay results from the ongoing exploration program in the immediate vicinity of its test-mine operation at its Platosa Property in northeastern Durango State, Mexico. Three holes (LP07-347, 350 and 355) cut between 2.00 and 6.75 metres of massive sulphides grading from 2,200 to 2,740 g/t (64.0-79.9 oz/T) silver; 11.2 to 36.8% lead and 1.1 to 9.1% zinc. These results correspond to massive and breccia sulphides discovered during a recent surface drilling and underground exploration program aimed at connecting and expanding the Guadalupe and Guadalupe South mantos (see table and maps below). The Company further announces the mobilization of a fourth drill rig, and that Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates is scheduled to begin its update of the Mineral Resource Estimate in October.
Seventeen holes have now been drilled between the Guadalupe and Guadalupe South mantos to follow up on the 4.55 metres of massive sulphide mineralization cut in Hole LP07-347 and by underground exploration and development between, and 25 metres above the elevation of, these principal mantos (see press release No. 04 - 2007). This intercept represents a previously unrecognized mineralized horizon, which has now been cut five times in various places. The three high-grade intercepts mentioned above come from this zone as have those in two more recent holes (LP07-391 and 392), which cut 2.10 and 5.50 metres of massive sulphides at this same elevation. Assays for these holes are pending.
Five holes in the program intersected previously unknown breccia sulphide mineralization extending 20 to 40 metres from the southeastern portion of the Guadalupe Manto at the same elevation as the manto. Holes LP07-383, 384, 385, 387 and 388 intersected 3.00, 1.00, 4.90, 2.20 and 1.60 metres, respectively, of sulphide breccia. Assays for these intercepts are also pending. Seven holes have failed to intersect significant mineralization. All intersection width references are to core width, which in all cases is the estimated true thickness.
The results from this program so far indicate that, while continuous mineralization has not yet been traced between the two Guadalupe mantos, there are significant but incompletely defined high-grade massive sulphides in a semi-continuous horizon 20 to 25 metres above the principal manto horizon. The reported values are significantly higher in silver than those from the principal underlying mineralization, suggesting this mineralization may represent a separate mineralization stage. The Company's exploration and mining team is evaluating to what extent these drilling and underground exploration successes might add to the Platosa Mineral Resource, but further exploration of this area will be pursued by direct underground headings, thereby freeing the drill rig to trace the open end of the Guadalupe Manto to the northwest (see below).

"We are pleased with the successes achieved recently by our exploration in the Platosa test-mine area and expect to add this high-grade mineralization to our test-mining operation," said Richard W. Brissenden, Excellon's CEO and president. "However, the main Guadalupe Manto is completely open to the northwest and the potential to find larger-scale mineralization in that direction is very high, so we are shifting our drilling focus there. The manto thickens and broadens that way and we have strong undrilled geochemical and geophysical targets that lie along its projection. Our exploration successes district-wide have increased our confidence in our exploration model and now that we have surface access to the northwest we are pleased to add a second drill to accelerate the program in that area."
In addition to the drill holes noted above, 44 holes (10,350.45 metres) have been drilled in the general test-mine area to test Mobile Metal Ion and Mercury Soil Gas geochemical anomalies, to follow up on isolated intersections of interest near the test-mine and to fill in gaps left by previous programs near the Guadalupe South Manto. While no assays have been received for these holes, the Company does not anticipate that there will be any economically significant results.
Almost all of the Platosa test-mine area drilling has been on Excellon's 100% owned Platosa Property. A small amount has been conducted on an area held in joint venture with Apex Silver Mines Limited.
Fourth Drill to Mobilize
A second drill is being mobilized to accelerate testing for extensions of the north and northwestern parts of the high-grade Guadalupe Manto, following the acquisition of surface rights in this area (see press release No. 07 - 2007), bringing the total number of drills working at Platosa to four. The program will also test the 1,200-metre long continuation of the same closely parallel biogeochemical and ground geophysical anomalies that coincide with the Guadalupe Manto and led to its discovery in late 2005. These anomalies are reinforced further by nearby pronounced airborne electromagnetic (AEM) anomalies extending northwest from the northwest corner of the Guadalupe Manto. These anomalies are similar to ones associated with the Guadalupe Manto and were delineated by an AEM survey completed during the winter of 2007.
Mineral Resource Estimate
Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc., a Toronto-based independent mining and geological consulting group, has informed Excellon that its update of the Company's National Instrument 43-101-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate is scheduled to begin in October. The updated report should be complete sometime in early 2008.
Additions to Geological Team at Platosa
In addition to continuing with an aggressive and focussed drilling program on the large Platosa property, Excellon has begun to build its own exploration team to complement the expertise provided on an ongoing basis by senior consultants from Compaia Minera Cascabel S.A. de C.V. The Company is selectively evaluating additional exploration and development opportunities in Mexico and elsewhere, concentrating on projects that can add value to the Company in a meaningful manner in the short- to medium-term.
Addition to Land Holdings at Platosa
Excellon also announces that it has added to its mineral tenure holdings at Platosa by staking an approximate 8,000-hectare concession contiguous with the southwestern boundary of the property. This concession provides protection and additional exploration terrain in the area of Hole EX07ST-50 (see press release No.10 - 2007) and brings the Company's total mineral concession holdings at Platosa to over 25,000 hectares.
