GOLD & SILVER is Father GOD'S Money! by Robert Kiyosaki says -
God made gold and silver. Man made paper to replace gold and silver as money. Throughout the history of mankind ALL paper currencies have failed. It's an inevitable consequence of paper lacking intrinsic value of gold and silver... simple. Propaganda to the contrary is an attempt to deceive people out of their money, their value, the fruits of their labor, their life savings, their future as independent people living comfortably as a result of hard work and planning for retirement their entire adult lives. All of this is at risk for anyone trusting in paper or electronic currency, which are only substitutes for the real money, God's money, gold and silver.

Exploration budget will be increased ??? This interview from the 2018 PDAC where Brendan Cahill talked about exploration at Platosa and Miguel Auza was cut back because of silver prices and mine ramp up problems. This time round exploration will be prioritized,,, or they run out of ore ! IMO
Excellon Options Silver City Project From Globex (CNW Group/Excellon Resources Inc.) TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2019 /CNW/ -
Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX:EXN, EXN.WT, OTC:EXLLF and FRA:E4X1) ("Excellon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (TSX:GMX, OTCQX:GLBXF and FRA:G1MN) ("Globex") for the option (the "Option") to acquire a 100% interest in the Silver City Project (the Bräunsdorf exploration license), a 164 km2 silver district in Saxony, Germany. The Silver City Project is located within a large, high-grade epithermal system and has a long history of mining dating back to the 12th century, with no modern exploration for precious metals.
Highlights of the Silver City Project
First mover advantage in the historic mining district of Bräunsdorf, which boasts 750-year history of silver mining, immediately west of Freiberg (known as Silberne Stadt or Silver City); Bräunsdorf exploration license (the Silver City Project) totals 164 km2 encompassing 36 km of strike, including six major historic silver mine camps, five minor camps and other prospects, with no modern exploration completed to date; Historically reported veins ranged from 0.5 to 10 metres width, with grades of over 3,500 g/t Ag and no assaying for gold or zinc available at the time; Petrographic and fluid inclusion studies recently conducted by the Mineral Systems Analysis Group at the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology suggest a productive depth for precious metals from 50 to 450 metres below surface; Additional information on the project is available on Excellon's website at: http://www.excellonresources.com/operations/silver-city/snapshot/. "This low-risk, low-cost option gives us first mover advantage in a large high-grade epithermal silver district," stated Brendan Cahill, President and CEO. "With historic, high-grade mines seldom reaching depths of 200 metres, Silver City may be akin to turning the clock back 100 years on the Fresnillo trend. This opportunity aligns perfectly with our focus on exploring large, underexplored properties for high-grade discoveries on world-class precious metal belts."
Mr. Cahill continued, "Exploration and mining are on the brink of a renaissance in Saxony and significant talent is readily available in the broader region. The Freiberg University of Mining and Technology, the world's oldest mining and metallurgy college, is within 10 km of the Silver City Project and is actively training geologists and metallurgists, while the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg is developing high technology solutions for the mining industry in Germany and globally."
Silver City Project
The Silver City Project encompasses a 36 km SW-NE strike by 1 to 5 km wide epithermal vein system situated west of the city of Freiberg (30 km southwest of Dresden). The immediate exploration license and surrounding area have a long and rich history of silver mining with numerous historic mining camps, small mines and prospects, many of which have only been explored and/or mined to shallow depths seldom exceeding 200 metres below surface.
Similar to the gold rush in North America, the silver rush in Europe originated in the ore mountains of Saxony, which were the source of wealth and power for the Saxon monarchy. Mining continued from the 12th to the 19th century but ceased when Germany abandoned the silver standard after the Franco-Prussian war and as the depth of mining operations became difficult with the methods then being employed. Sporadic silver mining continued from the 1880's, but ultimately ceased in 1969 due to economic, political and technological limitations.
The district of Freiberg has excellent infrastructure and is home to the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology (TU Bergekademie Freiberg) (https://tu-freiberg.de/en/university/profile), the oldest university of mining and metallurgy in the world and the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg ("HIF") (https://www.hzdr.de/db/Cms?pNid=2423), which specializes in a broad array of innovative mining technologies. HIF was founded in 2011 by the federal government of Germany to align the country's rich mineral history with a new national strategy on raw materials.

Geology
The Bräunsdorf project is located in the Freiberg district on the western edge of the Erzgiberge terrain. This terrain is an erosional window of Variscan basement rocks exposed due to uplifting of the terrain during the Cenozoic period. A large number of hydrothermal veins have been emplaced into this terrain. These veins are typically sub-vertical and host predominantly silver and base metal rich deposits associated with Permian magmatic activity. In the Bräunsdorf district in particular, polymetallic veins are hosted within mica schist units, parallel to the tectonic contacts along a gneiss unit.
Mining in Germany
There are currently a number of underground mines and projects active in Germany mining primarily industrial metals. Saxony is considered the most mining friendly state in Germany due to its transparent and collaborative mining law process, with no holding costs on exploration concessions as long as work is advanced. Exploration licenses are eligible for 5-year terms and can be renewed or converted to production licenses during the term or at the anniversary. Both the Saxon and German governments are proactively attracting mining investment and research through affiliations with several technology and mining institutes.
Terms of the Agreement
Under the terms of the Agreement, to exercise the Option and earn a 100% interest in the Silver City Project, the Company must:
(i)
Pay C$100,000 and issue 226,837 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") to Globex (completed on September 23, 2019);
(ii)

Excellon Resources Inc. (CNW Group/Excellon Resources Inc.)
TORONTO, Oct. 23, 2019 /CNW/ - Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX:EXN, EXN.WT, OTC:EXLLF and FRA:E4X1) ("Excellon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce third quarter 2019 production results from the Platosa Mine in Durango, Mexico.
Q3 2019 Production (compared to Q3 2018)
Silver equivalent ("AgEq") production of 427,131 oz (Q3 2018 – 300,766 AgEq oz) Silver production of 257,497 oz (Q3 2018 – 171,227 oz) Lead production of 1.3 million lb (Q3 2018 – 0.8 million lb) Zinc production of 1.7 million lb (Q3 2018 – 1.0 million lb) "We are ahead of where we were after three quarters in 2018, despite lower base metal prices, but we continue to have further work to do at both Platosa and Miguel Auza," stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Production did not meet our expectations in Q3 2019 due to lower than planned metal recoveries at our Miguel Auza processing facility and delayed processing of ore stockpiles and delivery of concentrate inventory at quarter-end relative to Q2 2019. The delay in ore processing and concentrate delivery will result in higher all-in sustaining costs during the quarter relatively to recent quarters. That said, production at Platosa continued at a good pace with ongoing efforts to reduce dilution proving successful. Our focus going forward is to continue improving production rates at Platosa while effectively implementing flow sheet upgrades at Miguel Auza to drive down costs."
