Endeavour Defines More High-grade Silver-Gold Mineralization at Terronera

Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX:EDR,NYSE:EXK) announced that infill drilling at its Mexico-based Terronera property has defined further high-grade silver-gold mineralization within the Terronera vein system.

As quoted in the press release:

The main mineralized zone extends over 1,400 metres (m) in length, and is still open along strike to the southeast and down dip.

Recent drilling highlights from the Terronera vein are summarized in the table below and include 1,371 grams per tonne (gpt) silver and 1.10 gpt gold (1,448 gpt silver equivalent (AgEq)) over 6.6 m true width, or 42.2 ounces per ton (opT) AgEq over 21.6 feet (ft), including 5,420 gpt silver and 5.12 gpt gold (5,778 gpt AgEq) over 0.3 m true width, or 171.6 opT AgEq over 1.0 ft in hole TR10-4.

Luis Castro, vice president of exploration at Endeavour, commented:

Infill drilling of the inferred resource within the Terronera vein continues to deliver consistently high grades over mineable widths with strong continuity of mineralization. One drill rig is currently working at Terronera to complete infill drilling of the main mineralized zone as part of the pre-feasibility study now underway.

The Terronera vein holds excellent potential for additional discoveries along strike and it is the first of several prospective veins to be drilled on the Terronera property. Our goal for 2015 is to complete the pre-feasibility study by the fourth quarter. We believe Terronera has the potential to become a high-grade, underground silver-gold mine similar to our Bolañitos mine in Guanajuato.
