Paul Benson, President and CEO said, “With gold representing approximately 70% of our revenue, the current name does not accurately reflect our business. We have evolved from a silver-focused producer to an intermediate precious metals producer with three mines in the Americas. The proposed name, which includes the initials of our existing name, is a natural evolution in our more than 70-year history. While we are recommending a change to our name, our relentless focus on creating shareholder value remains.”

Endeavour Silver Reports Initial NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment for El Compas Mine, Zacatecas, Mexico

Bradford Cooke, CEO of Endeavour Silver, commented, “We look forward to developing El Compas into our fourth mine. The mine should generate robust economic returns at current metal prices because the two known mineralized zones (El Compas and El Orito) are relatively shallow and high grade. The operation is very scalable if we discover or purchase additional mineral resources in the Zacatecas district and refurbish the second ball mill to double the plant capacity to 500 tonnes per day (tpd). With the low capital investment of US$10 million funded by existing cash, and the short timeline of only six months to initial production once we receive the explosives permit and tax clarity, the El Compas mine has the near-term potential to become a healthy contributor to our consolidated cash flow.”
