TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2012 /CNW/ -

Excellon Resources Inc.
(TSX: EXN) ("Excellon" or "the Company"), Mexico's highest grade
silver producer, is pleased to announce financial results for
the third quarter of 2012 and provide an updated
outlook on fourth quarter production.

"While the third quarter of 2012 was difficult due to the
illegal blockade at
La Platosa, we remain on course for a successful year and
have had a profitable first nine months.
We have now returned to full production at La Platosa, the
highest grade and one of the lowest cost silver mines in Mexico,"
stated Peter Crossgrove, Executive Chairman.
"We are looking forward to a successful fourth quarter on both
the production and exploration fronts.
Our 2012 production to date versus the same period in 2011 has
realized significantly higher silver and zinc grades, as well as
higher metal recoveries across the board, both of which should
lessen the impact of production lost during the third quarter."

Mr. Crossgrove continued,
"Our third quarter discovery of Source-style mineralization at
the Rincon del Caido area is currently being followed-up on
aggressively with four diamond drills.

We have also recently commenced a 5,000-metre drill program at
the DeSantis Project near Timmins on new and promising targets
and we are preparing to resume drilling at our
Beschefer Project in Quebec early in 2013."
