Excelsior Mining Corp. (TSX-V: MIN) (“Excelsior”) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Wildhorse Gold Project in southeastern British Columbia. The CDN $200,000 program will consist of approximately 600 metres (m) of drilling in 6 holes as well as additional mapping and prospecting. The Project is being conducted pursuant to an option agreement with Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: EPL) (“Eagle Plains”).

The Wildhorse Property consists of 355 ha and is located approximately 40 kilometres north of Cranbrook, British Columbia in the Fort Steele Mining Division within a historical placer production area. An arrastra (mill) was built on nearby Victoria Creek to process gold-bearing massive quartz from two adits drifted on the Dardenelles claim at the end of the nineteenth century. A 95 tonne bulk-sample of vein material was completed in 1975. The most recent work on the property was completed by Eagle Plains in 2008 and consisted of nine drill holes totalling 731 metres testing the Dardenelles gold-bearing quartz vein. The drilling expanded the vein system laterally and to depth. The best result from this drilling was found in hole WH08-02, 1.2 metres grading 2.12 g/t Au. Excelsior plans two holes to test the eastern extension of the Dardenelles showing 50 metres east of hole WH01-02.

Excelsior’s initial four holes will test the historical copper showing hosted by the Creston Quartzite which is the stratigraphic equivalent to the Revett Formation which hosts copper-silver mineralization at Troy, Montana. Grab samples in 1996 from Copper Creek ranged from 0.21% up to 0.53% copper. The showing has never been drill tested.
The 2010 exploration program is being funded by Excelsior as part of the 2010 Option Agreement. Excelsior has an option to earn a 70% interest in the Wildhorse Property. For additional information on this Transaction, please refer to Excelsior’s news release of March 11, 2010 and the Filing Statement of Excelsior dated April 29, 2010, both of which are filed on SEDAR.

Excelsior’s exploration work on the Wildhorse Property is being carried out by James Ryley, Senior Geologist for TerraLogic Exploration and supervised by Stewart Wallis, P.Geo., a member of the Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Wallis has reviewed and is responsible for the technical information contained in this news release.
