authorized Excellon’s Plan of Operations for the Kilgore Gold Project (the “Plan”) to conduct mineral
exploration activities in the Dubois Ranger District, Clark County, Idaho.
“We appreciate the dedication of the USFS to ensure that our plan for the Kilgore Project includes the
appropriate safeguards to protect the lands, waters and wildlife on the project and surrounding region,”
stated Brendan Cahill, President and CEO. “Our team in Idaho, led by Senior Project Manager, Phil Bandy,
has also demonstrated patience and flexibility in enhancing our plan based on the recommendations of
the USFS. We expect to provide updates on the next stages of our exploration plans for Kilgore in t he

Kilgore gold deposit, with the permitted program expected to be completed in three to five years.
