Endeavour Silver Drilling Intersects High-Grade Gold-Silver Mineralization at the Bolanitos Mine in Guanajuato, Mexico

Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK) (TSX: EDR) announces that exploration drilling continues to intersect high-grade gold-silver mineralization in the Melladito and San Bernabe vein systems at the Bolanitos mine in Guanajuato, Mexico. Since drilling resumed in June, a total of 22 holes have been drilled of which 11 holes and 22 mineralized intervals returned high grades over mineable widths (view Melladito longitudinal section he r e ).

Drilling highlights include the following intersections along the Melladito vein:

  • 12.76   grams per   tonne   (   gpt   ) gold   and 55   gpt   silver   over   4.5   met   re   s   (m) true width (1,076 gpt or 31.4 oz per ton (opT) silver equivalents (AgEq) over 14.8 feet (ft) using an 80:1 silver:gold ratio) including 0.4 m grading 43.5   gpt   gold and   171   gpt   silver (3,651 gpt AgEq or 106.4 opT over 1.3 ft) in hole BN-58
  • 0.51   gpt   gold   and 491   gpt   silver   over   2.7   m true width (531 gpt or 15.5 opT AgEq over 8.9 ft) including 0.4 m grading   1.74   gpt   gold and   2,220   gpt   silver (2,359 gpt AgEq or 68.8 opT over 1.3 ft) in hole BN-52

Drill holes BN-40, 42, 57 extend the Melladito vein mineralization further to the north and at depth, drill holes 50, 52, 58 extend the Melladito vein mineralization further to the east and near surface to possibly connect with the San Pablo mine workings, and drill holes 45, 47 extend the Melladito vein mineralization another 200 m north on the other side of the San Ramon and Providencia shafts. The Melladito mineralized zone now measures up to 200 m long by more than 250 m deep, still open at depth and to the north.

An initial three holes were drilled along the San Bernabe vein system highlighted by hole BN-59 which returned 7.91   gpt   gold and 12   g   p   t   silver over a 2.7   m true width (645 gpt AgEq or 18.8 opT over 8.9 ft).

Editor's Picks: Silver Price Hits 13 Year High, Gold Takes a Breather

Gold was on the decline this week, closing just below US$3,370 per ounce, after tensions in the Middle East pushed it past the US$3,430 level toward the end of last week.

All eyes were on the US Federal Reserve, which in a widely expected move left interest rates unchanged on Wednesday (June 18) following its two day meeting. The central bank cut rates in December 2024, but has kept them steady for its last four gatherings.

US President Donald Trump wasn't pleased, calling Powell "too late" in a Thursday (June 19) post on Truth Social. While speculation that Trump will fire Powell has died down, the president did recently say he intends to announce his next pick for the Fed leader position "very soon."

10 Silver ETFs for Every Investing Style in 2025

Investors looking for exposure to the silver price and silver-mining companies should consider silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Spurred by moves in the gold market, safe haven buying as well as increasing demand from industrial sectors, silver saw strong price movements in the first half of 2025, breaching US$37 per ounce for the first time since 2011.

While silver has often been seen as a more approachable precious metal owing to its lower per ounce price, its performance has lagged gains seen in the gold price over the past few years. However, silver stole some of the spotlight in the second quarter of 2025 as it saw significant gains on the back of geopolitical tension and economic uncertainty from the US trade and tariff policy.

Like gold, investors can gain exposure to silver in several ways that each offer their own pros and cons, along with differing costs and risks. For example, investors can purchase physical silver bars or coins, or invest in silver futures.

The white metal broke through the US$37 per ounce mark on Tuesday (June 17) for the first time since May 2011.

Recent economic and geopolitical events have raised analysts’ expectations of a September rate cut from the US Federal Reserve, helping to fuel safe-haven buying of silver and gold.
