Endeavour Silver Drilling Continues to Intersect High Grade Mineralization in the La Luz Vein on the Terronera Property in Jalisco, Mexico

Endeavour Silver (NYSE: EXK, TSX: EDR) announces that exploration drilling on the Terronera property in Jalisco State, Mexico continues to intersect high-grade, gold-silver mineralization at shallow depths within the La Luz vein.
Recent holes were drilled to test the boundaries of the current resource area (dated December 31, 2016) and successfully expanded the mineralization over a 600 metre (m) length by 250 m depth (view long section here).
Drilling highlights include two vein splays in Hole LL23 which assayed as follows:

• La Luz vein – 45 grams per tonne (gpt) silver and 16.2 gpt gold (1,180 gpt AgEq) over 1.7 m true width (34.4 opT AgEq over 5.6 feet (ft)), with an internal interval assaying 171 gpt silver and 45.2 gpt gold (3,335 gpt AgEq) over 0.2 m true width (97.2 opT AgEq over 0.7 ft); and
• La Luz HW vein – 25 gpt silver and 20.9 gpt gold (1,485 gpt AgEq) over 1.3 m true width (43.3 opT AgEq over 4.3 ft), with an internal interval assaying 44 gpt silver and 31.6 gpt gold (2,256 gpt AgEq) over 0.3 m true width (65.8 opT AgEq over 1.0 ft);

Bradford Cooke, CEO of Endeavour Silver, commented:

“We continue to intersect encouraging results in the La Luz vein on the Terronera property.  Although narrower than the Terronera vein, mineralization in the La Luz vein is much higher grade, more gold rich, and shallower in depth compared to the Terronera vein, which was the basis for the recent pre-feasibility study.
Several other veins hosting surface high-grade mineralization at Terronera are also scheduled for drilling over the next two years.”
