Bradford Cooke, CEO and director of Endeavour Silver, commented:

Our mining operations group is to be commended for delivering another solid year of production in 2015. Guanaceví continued to perform better than plan and the completion of the Phase 2 mine expansion from 1,500 tpd to 2,200 tpd at El Cubo was a significant achievement, offsetting the planned lower production from Bolañitos.
As precious metal prices continued their downturn in 2015, our main focus was on maintaining constant production, reducing operating costs and maximizing free cash flow. I am proud of our operating team for their ongoing efforts to reduce our all-in sustaining costs in this difficult environment. We remain committed to the process of continuous improvement at each of our mines.
