Highlights from Recent Drill Results

  • 392 gpt Ag, 0.02 gpt Au, 0.035% Cu, 0.63% Pb and 2.06% Zn for 488 gpt AgEq over a 3.27 m ETW, including 1,895 gpt Ag, 0.05 gpt Au, 0.156% Cu, 3.7% Pb and 6.98% Zn for 2,234 gpt AgEq over 0.17 m (VCU-67)
  • 513 gpt Ag, 0.07 gpt Au, 0.111% Cu, , 1.99% Pb and 1.69% Zn for 644 gpt AgEq over a 1.96 m ETW, including 1,160 gpt Ag, 0.21 gpt Au, 0.231% Cu, 2.71% Pb and 4.63% Zn for 1,439 gpt AgEq over 0.39 m (VCU-69)

Abbreviations include: gpt: grams per tonne; Au: gold; Ag: silver; Cu: copper; Pb: lead; Zn: zinc; ETW: estimated true width; m: metre; HW: hanging wall. Silver equivalents are calculated at a ratio of 80:1 silver:gold, silver price of $23 per troy ounce, copper price of $3.45 per pound, lead price of $0.90 per pound and zinc price of $1.20 per pound.

"These results increase our confidence that we are on the right path towards attaining the estimated mineral resource base necessary to advance the Parral project," commented Dan Dickson, Chief Executive Officer. "We anticipate preparing a preliminary economic assessment starting late this year."

History of the Property

The Parral project, which was acquired by Endeavour Silver in 2016, is in Hidalgo de Parral, a large historic silver mining district adjacent to the city of Parral, in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. Classic, high-grade silver, epithermal vein deposits are present in the project district. The 3,432-hectare property is accessible by paved and gravel roads and has access to the local power grid.

Veta Colorada (including the Sierra Plata and El Verde mines) was a past producing mining operation owned by Grupo Mexico that closed in 1991 due to low silver prices. Mineralization, which occurs in a major silver vein structure that ranges from 1 to 30 metres thick, was mined seven levels down to 300-metre depths below surface in places and was traced for seven kilometres.

NI43-101 Technical Report

The Company filed a NI 43-101 technical report on the Parral project, State of Chihuahua, Mexico on March 14, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, Parral had estimated indicated mineral resources of 613,000 tonnes, containing 4.0 million ounces of silver grading 207 g/t, 6,800 ounces of gold grading 0.35 g/t, 17.5 million pounds of lead grading 0.63%, and 16.5 million pounds of zinc grading 0.61%. Inferred mineral resources are estimated to total 4.04 million tonnes containing 35.0 million ounces of silver grading 269 g/t, 62,800 ounces of gold grading 0.48 g/t, 65.0 million pounds of lead grading 0.35% and 64.3 million pounds of zinc grading 0.35%.
