EXCELLON ANNOUNCES NYSE AMERICAN ACCEPTANCE OF PLAN TO REGAIN LISTING COMPLIANCE

TORONTO, July 14, 2022 /CNW/ - Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: EXN) (NYSE: EXN) and (FSE: E4X2) ("Excellon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the NYSE American LLC ("NYSE American") has accepted the Company's plan to regain compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i-iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide"). Excellon submitted its plan on May 31, 2022, and has been granted a plan period through October 30, 2023.

As previously reported on May 5, 2022, Excellon was notified by the NYSE American that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(a)(i)-(iii) of the Company Guide related to insufficient stockholders' equity.

This notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company's common stock on the NYSE American. The listing of Excellon's common stock is being continued during the plan period, during which time NYSE American staff will review the Company periodically for compliance with the initiatives outlined in the plan. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by October 30, 2023 or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, NYSE American staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. The Company may appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide. The Company's common stock will also continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Excellon also reports that Anna Ladd-Kruger has been invited to join the Board of Directors of Silvercrest Metals Inc. and will consequently be stepping down from the Board of Excellon on July 31, 2022.

"Anna has been a great contributor to the Company since joining us in 2019, first as CFO, and subsequently as a director," stated André Fortier, Chair of the Board of Directors. "We wish her the very best in her future endeavours and congratulate her on her appointment to Silvercrest."

Excellon's vision is to create wealth by realizing strategic opportunities through discipline and innovation for the benefit of our employees, communities and shareholders. The Company is advancing a precious metals growth pipeline that includes: Kilgore, an advanced gold exploration project in Idaho with strong economics and significant growth and discovery potential; an option on Silver City, a high-grade epithermal silver district in Saxony, Germany with 750 years of mining history and no modern exploration; and Platosa, a high-grade silver mine producing in Mexico since 2005, scheduled to wind-down in Q3 2022, with an 11,000 hectare exploration package on Mexico's carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) trend. The Company is also actively seeking to capitalize on current market conditions by acquiring undervalued projects.
