Endeavour Silver Reports Q2 2024 Production Results; In-Line with Guidance
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endeavour Silver Corp. (“Endeavour” or the “Company”) (NYSE: EXK; TSX: EDR) is pleased to report second quarter 2024 production of 1,312,572 silver ounces (oz) and 10,549 gold oz, for silver equivalent (1) (“AgEq”) production of 2.2 million oz. Total year-to-date production of 4.4 million AgEq oz is tracking towards the upper range of the full year 2024 production guidance of 8.1 million to 8.8 million silver equivalent ounces.

“Our safe, reliable and consistent production from operations has been key as capital expenditures increase at Terronera. As construction activities are beginning to peak, we have been implementing our business readiness strategy to smoothly transition into operations.” stated Dan Dickson, Chief Executive Officer. “We remain focused on the commissioning of the Terronera mine in Q4 2024 and production in 2025.”

Q2 2024 Highlights

   Guanaceví Reliably Delivering: Throughput and silver production were consistent with plan, while higher gold grades mined and from third-party feed contributed to higher gold production than planned.
   
   Bolañitos Results Remain Consistent: Strong gold production continued following on from the first quarter of 2024. Silver production continues to be slightly below plan due to lower silver grades and lower silver recovery, while throughput remains steady. Milled grades are expected to have similar variation for the second half of the year.
   
   Metal Sales and Inventories : Sold 1,217,569 oz silver and 9,887 oz gold during the quarter. A total of 262,160 oz silver and 939 oz gold bullion inventory and 5,860 oz silver and 322 oz gold in concentrate inventory were held at quarter end.
   
   Published 2023 Sustainability Report entitled “Transformation In Motion”: The Company highlighted progress during the second year of our 2022-2024 Sustainability Strategy ( see news release dated May 16, 2024 ).
   Newly Appointed Director, Angela Johnson: Ms. Johnson is a Professional Geologist, MBA, who brings over thirteen years of experience in the mining industry in both technical and corporate development roles as well as extensive knowledge in ESG best practices ( see news release dated April 18, 2024 ).
   First Drawdown of the Terronera Senior Secured Debt Facility: Proceeds of USD $60M are being used to develop the Terronera mine. An additional USD $60M remains committed and available for future drawdowns during the second half of 2024 ( see news release dated April 10, 2024 ).

Q2 2024 Mine Operations

Consolidated silver production decreased 12% to 1,312,572 ounces in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023, primarily driven by variations in grades, specifically lower silver grades at the Guanaceví mine. Gold production increased by 7% to 10,549 ounces in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023, primarily due to higher gold grades mined at both Guanaceví and Bolañitos as well as higher gold content in third-party feed processed at the Guanaceví mine.

Local third-party feed continued to supplement Guanaceví mine production, totaling 15% of quarterly throughput. With current prices, management expects local third-party feed to remain above 10% of throughput going forward. The Guanaceví operations are benefiting from the significant plant improvements and modifications made in 2023, as plant throughput and recoveries have been in line with plan and consistent throughout Q2 and year-to-date 2024.

With project completion in sight, our focus has expanded to implementing our business readiness plan as we prepare for operating Endeavour's next core asset."

Q2 2024 Construction and Development Highlights

As of June 30, 2024, site works and activities included:

   Safety – The highest workplace priority is the health and safety of our employees and contractors, with a commitment to provide the tools, training, and resources needed to identify risks and apply effective controls. Recently, underground operations increased rescue brigade participation by 40%, and two self-contained mine refuge stations were installed.
   Progress – Overall project progress (mine development and surface construction) reached 64.5% completion, with more than $204 million (1) of the project's budget spent to date. Project commitments total $260 million (1,2) , 96% of the $271 million capital budget.
   Engineering – Efforts have transitioned to construction support. During the quarter, a detailed design was completed for the tailing storage facility, Portal 2 waste dump, and the Lower Platform excavation.
   Mine Development – Over the quarter, over 1,270 meters were developed underground, totaling nearly 4,500 meters.
   Upper Platform Plant Site – Surface mill and infrastructure construction is 88% complete and progressing on schedule. Concrete work and structural steel erection are 100% complete.
       Primary Crusher – Structural and mechanical construction is complete on the conveyor and apron feeder support steel, and the apron feeder was placed in position. Conveyors are belted, and belts vulcanized. Cabling and terminations are ongoing.
       Coarse Ore Stockpile and Reclaim ("COS") Tunnel – SAG Feed Conveyor and belt were installed. Piping, electrical, and instrumentation are ongoing.
       Grinding – SAG and ball mill are installed. Piping, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation are ongoing.
       Flotation – Piping, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation are ongoing. Flotation equipment, including blowers, instruments, and valves, is expected to be procured in early Q3.
       Tailing Thickener – The Tailings thickener is complete and signed off. Some steel modifications, such as piping, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation, are ongoing. Procurement monitoring of some equipment (tanks), instruments, and valves is ongoing.
   Lower Facilities Platform and Tailing Storage Facility – Excavation for the tailing storage facility embankment key trench was over 95% complete, and the Lower Platform area was nearly 50% complete. Concrete work on the lower platform is scheduled to start in early Q3.
   Procurement – Bulk materials purchase orders have been released, and lead times are aligned with the current schedule. The Procurement team has focused on critical path purchases, such as electrical components and transfer chutes, and reducing bulk material lead times to increase schedule float.
   Onsite Personnel – At the end of Q2, the workforce increased to over 190 Endeavour employees and over 700 contractor workers.

Next Steps and Planning

The Terronera Project remains on track for commissioning in Q4 2024.

For Q3 2024, surface construction will continue to focus on mechanical, piping, and electrical installations. Completing the Lower Platform excavation is anticipated to be no later than mid-Q3 2024. Concrete work for the tailing and concentrate filtration areas is expected to begin in early Q3 2024, with the LNG and power generation areas to follow. The Company anticipates commissioning using temporary power with the LNG and power generation to be operational subsequent to commissioning. The temporary power has been planned and is expected to be available for Q4. Concentrate and tailing filtration structural, mechanical, and electrical installations will commence as concrete work is completed.

Mine development in Portals 1, 2, and 4 declines will continue, with a test long-hole stop being developed in Q3 2024. Initial long-hole production is planned for early Q4, followed by cut-and-fill mining; ore will be stockpiled for mill ramp-up. At La Luz, development activities are anticipated to begin in Q3, with the portal being constructed and the ramp to ore access being advanced in Q4.

The critical path remains the TSF, Lower Platform construction, and the advancing underground mine.
