PHOENIX, Nov. 3, 2021 /CNW/ - Excelsior Mining Corp. (TSX: MIN) (OTC: EXMGF) (FSE: 3XS) ("Excelsior" or the "Company") announces that it is aware of a civil claim filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors in the Supreme Court of British Columbia by MM Fund (the "Action"). The plaintiff seeks certification of the Action as a class proceeding on behalf of a class of all persons and entities, wherever they may reside or may be domiciled, who purchased the securities of Excelsior offered by the Company's Prospectus Supplement dated and filed on February 12, 2021 (the "Prospectus").

The plaintiff alleges that the Prospectus contained misrepresentations related to the Company's anticipated timeline to achieve a production rate of 25 million pounds per annum. The plaintiff alleges that as a result of the misrepresentations in the Prospectus, the securities of the Company were sold to the public at an artificially inflated price. The plaintiff seeks an order certifying the Action as a class proceeding, a declaration the Prospectus contained a misrepresentation, unspecified damages, pre- and post-judgment interest and costs.

Excelsior contends the allegations made against it in the Action are meritless and will be vigorously defended.
