What Excellon Resources does

Excellon Resources Inc. is a Canadian precious and base metals mining and exploration company headquartered in Toronto and publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V: EXN) and OTC markets (OTC: EXNRF). The company's portfolio comprises four assets: the Mallay Silver Mine in central Peru (a past-producing underground silver-lead-zinc operation with a 600 tpd flotation plant that restarted underground operations in February 2025 with mill pre-commissioning targeted for June 2026), the Kilgore Project in southeastern Idaho (a 100%-owned epithermal gold deposit with 825,000 oz Au Indicated and a stated US$275M NPV at US$1,800/oz Au), the Silver City Project in Saxony, Germany (a high-grade epithermal silver district covering approximately 340 km² held 75% by subsidiary Saxony Silver Corp.), and the early-stage Tres Cerros Gold-Silver Project adjacent to Mallay in Peru. The Mallay NI 43-101 Technical Report (February 2026) reports 12.01 Moz AgEq Indicated and 4.00 Moz AgEq Inferred resources, representing a 500%+ increase in Indicated silver inventory relative to historical Buenaventura inventory.

Excellon's underlying technology is conventional hard-rock mining and mineral processing: a 600 tpd flotation plant for silver-lead-zinc ore processing, with supporting infrastructure including assay lab, core shed, tailings storage, and camp facilities. The company is leveraging existing past-producing infrastructure at Mallay to reduce restart capital intensity, and is also leveraging the district-scale exploration data set from Silver City's 750-year mining history and modern NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates.

Excellon's business model centers on selling zinc-lead concentrates from the Mallay Mine under an offtake agreement with Glencore, which is committed to purchase 100% of concentrate production until approximately 2028-2029 and provided up to US$18 million in financing for mine restart. Concentrate pricing is benchmarked to commodity market prices for silver, lead, and zinc in a B2B commodity sales structure with no public pricing tiers. The company is currently pre-commercial-production, with revenue dependent on successful mill pre-commissioning in mid-2026. Financing for the restart and exploration program has been sourced through a series of equity private placements in 2025-2026 (totaling over C$40 million with Eric Sprott as repeat anchor investor), the Glencore pre-export finance facility, and the Saxony Silver Corp subsidiary placement.

Core offering

Excellon Resources is a Canadian precious and base metals mining company that operates the Mallay Silver Mine in Peru, a past-producing underground silver-lead-zinc operation with a 600 tpd flotation plant that restarted in February 2026. The company also holds the Kilgore gold project in Idaho, the Silver City epithermal silver district in Saxony, Germany (via 75%-owned subsidiary Saxony Silver Corp.), and the Tres Cerros gold-silver exploration property in Peru. Primary revenue is generated through the sale of zinc-lead concentrates to commodities trading houses such as Glencore under an offtake agreement valid until 2028-2029.

Product overview

Excellon Resources is a Canadian precious and base metals mining and exploration company with a portfolio of four projects. The core asset is the Mallay Silver Mine in Peru - a past-producing underground operation with a 600 tpd flotation plant that restarted in February 2026. The company also operates the Kilgore Project in Idaho (advanced gold exploration) and Silver City Project in Saxony, Germany (epithermal silver district), both held as growth-stage assets. The Tres Cerros Gold-Silver Project in Peru provides nearby exploration upside adjacent to Mallay. The company is positioning to become a near-term silver producer through the Mallay restart while advancing exploration at its other projects.
