Endeavour Silver Announces Q3 Financial Results; Earnings Conference Call at 10am PST Today

Endeavour Silver Corp. ("Endeavour" or the "Company") (NYSE: EXK; TSX: EDR) is pleased to announce its unaudited financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. All amounts reported are in United States (US) dollars.

Dan Dickson, CEO, commented, "This quarter is a continuation of our strong operational performance. With production guidance reaffirmed, and a strong fourth quarter expected, we are feeling confident about our 2022 production results. Like the rest of the industry, profit margins are under pressure. The strength of the USD is weighing on commodity prices, and inflation is increasing direct costs. We are fortunate that the elevated grade profile at Guanacevi and strong operational performance has allowed us to stay within or near our guided cost ranges on a per ounce basis."

"We continue to focus on business improvement and cost management initiatives, while being mindful of the future. Continuing to advance the Terronera project in a deliberate and disciplined manner towards a construction decision and the completion of the Pitarrilla acquisition, are both significant developments towards the future of the Company."

Q3 2022 Highlights

  • Continued Strong Production: 1,458,448 ounces (oz) of silver and 9,194 oz of gold for 2.2 million oz silver equivalent (AgEq) ( 1 ) at an 80:1 silver:gold ratio, totaling 6.3 million AgEq oz for the 9 months ended September 30, 2022. Strong year to date production reinforces delivery of 2022 guidance.
  • Revenue Impacted by Withholding Metal Sales & Lower Realized Prices: Generated $40.4 million from the sale of 1,327,325 oz silver and 8,852 oz gold at average realized prices of $19.24 per oz silver and $1,678 per oz gold. Management continued to carry higher metal inventory totaling 1,527,549 oz silver and 3,210 oz gold of bullion inventory and 2,770 oz silver and 143 oz gold in concentrate inventory, with a market value of approximately $35 million at September 30, 2022.
  • Operating Costs per Ounce In-Line with Guidance, Despite Industry-Wide Inflation: Cash costs ( 2 ) of $10.32 per oz payable silver and all-in sustaining costs (AISC) ( 2 ) of $20.27 per oz payable silver, net of gold credits.
  • Negative Earnings and Lower Cash Flow Due to Impacted Revenue: Net loss of $1.5 million or $0.01 loss per share. $7.3 million in cash flow from operations before working capital changes ( 2) and mine operating cash flow before taxes (2) of $12.3 million. The Company continued to hold significant finished goods held at costs on the balance sheet at quarter end.
  • Healthy Balance Sheet: Cash position of $69.2 million and $101.6 million in working capital ( 2) . Cash decreased in the quarter, as funds were spent to complete the acquisition of the Pitarrilla Project with a $35 million cash payment and early works expenditures to advance the Terronera project.

  • Strong Liquidity Remains: While the cash balance decreased during the quarter, the realized sale of finished goods inventory, with a market value of approximately $35 million at quarter end, would imply a cash balance closer to $100 million.

  • Advancing the Terronera Project: Work continued on predevelopment activities initiated last year including detailed engineering, critical contracts, procurement of long-lead items and road and camp construction. The Company intends to make a formal construction decision subject to completion of a financing package and receipt of additional amended permits in the coming months. Budgeted development expenditures for 2022 are estimated to be $41.0 million.

  • Completed the Acquisition of the Pitarrilla Project: The world's largest undeveloped silver project that will form the cornerstone of the Company's growth profile, together with Terronera and Parral (see News Release dated July 6, 2022 ).

  • Divested the El Compas Property to Grupo ROSGO: Completed the sale of the property and the plant for US$5 million over five years (see News Release dated September 12, 2022 ).

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net revenue, increased by 15% to $39.7 million (Q3 2021: $34.6 million).

Gross sales of $40.4 million in Q3 2022 represented a 15% increase over the $35.0 million in Q3 2021. Silver oz sold increased by 90%, due to both a 12% increase in silver production and a significantly smaller buildup of finished goods inventory during Q3, 2022 compared to Q3, 2021.   There was a 22% decrease in the realized silver price resulting in a 48% increase to silver sales. Gold oz sold decreased 11% with a 6% decrease in realized gold prices resulting in a 16% decrease in gold sales. The decrease in gold sales is primarily driven by the decreased gold grades at the Bolañitos mine and the suspension of production from the El Compas mine. During the period, the Company sold 1,327,325 oz silver and 8,852 oz gold, for realized prices of $19.24 and $1,678 per oz, respectively, compared to sales of 699,539 oz silver and 9,925 oz gold, for realized prices of $24.56 and $1,791 per oz, respectively, in the same period of 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the realized prices of silver and gold were within 3% of the London spot prices. Silver and gold London spot prices averaged $19.23 and $1,729, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2022

The Company increased its finished goods silver and finished goods gold inventory to 1,530,319 oz silver and 3,353 oz gold, at September 30, 2022 compared to 1,411,764 oz silver and 3,167 oz gold at June 30, 2022. The cost allocated to these finished goods was $22.1 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $20.8 million at June 30, 2022 and $18.3 million at September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2022, the finished goods inventory fair market value was $34.7 million, compared to $34.5 million at June 30, 2022. Earnings and other financial metrics, including mine operating cash flow ( 2) , operating cash flow (2) and EBITDA (2) were impacted by the withholding of sales during Q3 2022.

Cost of sales for Q3, 2022 was $34.5 million, an increase of 31% over the cost of sales of $26.3 million for Q3, 2021. The cost of sales in Q3, 2022 was impacted by increased input costs and slightly impacted by the delay in recognition of costs associated with the increase in the quantity of silver ounces in finished goods at the end of the period. Overall costs for Q3, 2022 were impacted by higher labour, power and consumables costs as the Company is experiencing significant inflationary pressures. During Q3, 2022, the Company also recorded an allowance on the valuation of warehouse inventory of $1.3 million (Q3, 2021 – Nil).

In Q3, 2022, the Company had an operating loss of $1.3 million (Q3, 2021 – operating earnings of $3.0 million) after exploration and evaluations costs of $4.0 million (Q3, 2021 – $4.7 million), general and administrative expense of $2.2 million (Q3, 2021 – expense recovery $0.5 million), and care and maintenance expense of $0.2 million (Q3, 2021 – $0.4 million). In the three months ended September 30, 2021 operating earnings included $0.7 million in severance costs related to the suspension of the operations at the El Compas mine.

The earnings before taxes for Q3, 2022 was $1.7 million (Q3, 2021 – loss $0.8 million) after finance costs of $0.3 million (Q3, 2021 – $0.2 million), a foreign exchange gain of $0.8 million (Q3, 2021 –foreign exchange loss of $1.2 million), gain on assets disposal of $2.8 million (Q3, 2021 -$Nil) and investment and other expense of $0.3 million (Q3, 2021 –$2.4 million).

The Company realized a net loss for the period of $1.5 million (Q3, 2021 –$4.5 million) after an income tax expense of $3.2 million (Q3, 2021 – $3.7 million). In Q3, 2022 earnings were impacted by a $1.1 million mark-to-market adjustment resulting in an unrealized loss on investments included in investment and other expense (Q3, 2021 - $3.0 million).

Current income tax expense increased to $1.2 million (Q3 2021 - $0.7 million) due to increased profitability impacting the income tax and special mining duty, while deferred income tax expense of $2.0 million is primarily due to the estimated use of loss carryforwards to reduce taxable income generated at both Guanaceví and Bolañitos (Q3 2021 – $3.0 million).

Direct operating costs ( 2) on a per tonne basis increased to $131.61, up 14% compared with Q3 2021 due to higher operating costs at Guanaceví and Bolañitos and a reduction in ore tonnes processed. Guanaceví and Bolañitos have seen increased labour, power and consumables costs and at Guanaceví, increased third party ore purchased and operating development have increased compared to the prior year.

Consolidated cash costs per oz ( 2 ) , net of by-product credits increased 27% to $10.32 driven by increased direct costs per tonne ( 2 ) and a reduction in by-product gold sales, offset by increased ore grades. AISC ( 2 ) increased by 16% on a per oz basis compared to Q3, 2021 as a result of the increased cash costs ( 2 ) and increased allocated general and administrative costs offset by a slight reduction in sustaining capital expenditures

 INN Interview Highlights Prismo Metals' Exploration in Palos Verdes , Los Pavitos , and Hot Breccia  Projects

INN Interview Highlights Prismo Metals' Exploration in Palos Verdes , Los Pavitos , and Hot Breccia Projects

(TheNewswire)

Prismo Metals Inc.

Investing News Network( INN)

During the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention, the Investing News Network (INN), a premier source for resource and mining news and investor education, filmed interviews with experts and CEOs of leading companies. In a recent CEO Interview published on InvestingNews.com, Mari-Len DeGuzman interviewed Alain Lambert, the Executive Chairman of Prismo Metals (CSE:PRIZ) at PDAC. Lambert discussed updates and strategic plans for the company's silver, copper, and gold projects, including the latest on their collaboration with Vizsla Silver and forthcoming exploration efforts.

Strategic Collaboration and Exploration at Palos Verdes

Lambert reminded viewers that Palos Verdes, a silver prospect in Mexico, stands as one of Prismo Metals' flagship properties. Surrounded by Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSXV:VZLA) territory, which encompasses the remainder of the district, Prismo benefits from a strategic relationship with Vizsla. Following a recent $34 million bought deal closure by Vizsla, Lambert highlighted their ongoing collaboration, which includes a technical committee aimed at exploring the district's northeast.

With three successful drilling campaigns under their belt, Prismo Metals is preparing for a robust exploration program into Palos Verdes. Lambert expressed excitement about the upcoming fourth drilling campaign, which will extend into Vizsla's already permitted property, promising further insights into the prospect's potential.

Los Pavitos and Hot Breccia: Expanding Exploration Horizons

In addition to Palos Verdes, Prismo Metals is making waves with their Los Pavitos gold prospect, spanning over 5,300 hectares in the Sonora State, Mexico. The first drilling campaign in 2023 yielded exceptional results, extending the prospective zone significantly. Plans for geophysics and further drilling later this year are in place to capitalize on these findings.

Moreover, Lambert shed light on the Hot Breccia copper project in Arizona, poised to capture investors' attention. Awaiting drilling permits, Prismo anticipates initiating exploration on this property, situated in the heart of Arizona's copper belt. With historical data backing its potential, the focus will soon shift to twinning old holes, exploring the vast copper resources.

Investment Appeal and Future Focus

Addressing investors at PDAC, Lambert confidently positioned Prismo Metals as a compelling investment opportunity, drawing parallels with recent successes in the space, such as Hercules Silver Corp. (TSXV:BIG). With high expectations for the Hot Breccia project and continued exploration at Palos Verdes and Los Pavitos, Prismo Metals is dedicating substantial resources to uncover the next significant discovery.

As Prismo Metals gears up for a year filled with promising exploration activities and strategic collaborations, Lambert's message to investors is clear: keep a close eye on Prismo Metals. With a strong exploration strategy and potential for significant discoveries, Prismo Metals represents an intriguing opportunity in the mining sector.

Antler Gold Further Consolidates Land Holdings in the Namibian 'Gold Corridor'

Antler Gold Further Consolidates Land Holdings in the Namibian 'Gold Corridor'

Antler Gold Inc. (TSXV: ANTL) ("Antler" or "Company") is pleased to announce the expansion of its land holding in Namibia. Two additional exploration licenses have been awarded to Antler by the Ministry of Mines and Energy of Namibia, pending issuance of environmental clearance, as well as the renewal of Exclusive Prospecting Licenses EPL-8010 and EPL-6408 (Erongo Central Gold Project).

Highlights

  • Two newly-awarded licenses, EPL-9134 and EPL-9135, expand the Paresis Gold Project land package to ~812 km2 (81,189 ha) within the highly prospective 'gold corridor' of Namibia (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
  • A gold project with high potential to host gold deposits similar to the Otjikoto Gold Mine (B2Gold), the Ondundu Gold deposit, as well as recent discoveries such as the Eureka Gold Project (Osino Resources) (Figure 1).
  • Additional potential on EPL-9134 for a Carlin-style gold deposit, referred to as the Victory Gold Target, an area with a large regional-scale thrust fault and numerous base metal (copper, lead and zinc) occurrences indicating a fertile mineral system (Figure 4).
  • The Erongo Gold Project, EPL-8010 and EPL-6408, bordering the Twin Hills Gold Project (Osino Resources-Yintai Gold Corp.[i]), has been granted renewal for another two years.

"We are pleased to announce the granting of new licenses, further strengthening Antler's presence in the emerging Damara Gold Province, referred to as the gold corridor of Namibia. With access to roughly 2,000 km2 in the Central and Northern Zones of the Damara Belt, Antler is strategically positioned to explore the significant potential of this region. Additionally, the renewal of EPL-8010 and EPL-6408 solidifies our Erongo Gold Project, providing contiguous land adjacent to the Twin Hills Gold Project recently acquired by Yintai Gold Corp. for C$368 million in an all-cash deali. Our commitment remains in maximizing shareholder value through strategic partnerships and ongoing exploration efforts," said Christopher Drysdale, CEO of Antler Gold Inc.

Victory Gold Target

The Victory Gold Target is located within the new EPL-9134 (approx. 33,472 ha), situated 7 km west of the town Outjo, in north central Namibia, within the Northern Zone (NZ) and Northern Margin Zone (NMZ) of the Damara Orogenic Belt (Figure 2 and Figure 4). With this conceptual project, Antler is targeting Carlin-type/sediment-hosted disseminated gold in an area that has strong mineralization potential - regional-scale thrust, faults, layered and folded permeable carbonate host rocks, and existing base metal occurrences indicating hydrothermal activity.

The EPL includes two of the tectonostratigraphic zones of the Damara Orogen, namely the NZ, and the NMZ, a narrow zone between the southern edge of the Northern Platform (NP) and the northern edge of the NZ (Miller, 2008)[ii] (Figure 5). The NZ comprises carbonates, schists and siliciclastics of the Swakop Group, whereas the NMZ comprises deep-water carbonates of the coeval Otavi Group, and siliciclastic rocks of the Mulden Group (Table 1), the highest stratigraphic unit of the Damara Supergroup. Two glacial horizons, i.e. the Chuos and Ghaub diamictites, subdivide the Swakop and Otavi Groups into subgroups (Table 1), providing distinct lithological and geochronological markers, but outcrops of the Chuos within the EPL are poor.

The sequences have been multiply folded and faulted (local and regional-scale) during the Pan-African Damara Orogeny during which the NZ has been thrust northwards onto Otavi, Mulden (NMZ) and pre-Damara rocks along the NE-trending, km-scale, deep-seated regional Khorixas-Gaseneirob Thrust (KGT), marking the edge of the NZ (Miller, 2008).

This deformation history provides ample structural pathways, the right plumbing for superheated gold-bearing hydrothermal fluid channelization up through the crust and into the highly-permeable carbonate host rocks where it is potentially deposited as microscopic gold within pyrite. Gold-bearing hydrothermal fluids also carry arsenic, mercury, antimony and thallium that are important pathfinder elements that will guide exploration.

Both the NZ and NMZ are host to numerous mineral deposits, including in the NZ the Otjikoto Gold Mine (B2Gold), the Ondundu and Eureka Gold Projects (Osino Resources) (Figure 1), the Okanjande Graphite deposit (Northern Graphite), the Okorusu Fluospar Mine, and in the NMZ, the Kombat and Berg Aukas polymetallic deposits, evidencing this geological environment's fertile nature.
