Endeavour Silver Intersects High-Grade Silver-Gold Mineralization at the Guanacevi Mine in Durango, Mexico

 

Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX: EDR, NYSE: EXK) has intersected high grade silver-gold mineralization in its 2021 exploration drill program to expand the El Curso orebody at the Guanacevi Mine in Durango State, Mexico.   The Company is currently producing from three orebodies at Guanacevi: Milache, El Curso and SCS. Exploration drilling is ongoing at El Curso and SCS (view longitudinal section here ).

 

Highlights from the latest drill results include:

 
  •   3.27 grams per tonne (gpt) gold and 2,753 gpt silver for 2,982 gpt silver equivalent (AgEq at an 70:1 silver:gold ratio) over a 4.1 metre (m) true width (87.0 oz per short ton (opT) AgEq over 13.5 feet (ft)), including 0.6 gpt gold and 18,752 gpt silver for 18,794 gpt AgEq over 0.3 m (548.2 opT AgEq over 1.0 ft) in drill hole UCM-48
  •  
  •   4.29 gpt gold and 3,464 gpt silver for 3,764 gpt AgEq over a 2.6 m true width (109.8 opT AgEq over 8.5 feet (ft)), including 25.7 gpt gold and 19,390 gpt silver for 21,189 gpt AgEq over 0.3 m (618.0 opT AgEq over 1.0 ft) in drill hole UCM-50
  •  

Luis Castro, Vice President of Exploration, commented, "We continue to intersect excellent drill results as we step out from the current margins of the El Curso orebody. There remains an additional 100 m to drill until we connect El Curso with the Milache orebody to the west, and there is a similar gap to fill to connect El Curso with the Porvenir Cuatro orebody (previously mined) to the east."

 

"Ultimately, we anticipate that Porvenir Cuatro, El Curso and Milache will all connect to form one continuous orebody over a 1,500 m length by 400 m vertical extent. This would make it comparable to the original Porvenir Norte orebody which supported production at Guanacevi for over 14 years. The future is looking bright for Guanacevi."

 

Drill results are summarized in the following table:

Top 5 Canadian Silver Stocks of 2025

Silver prices surged during the second quarter of 2025, surpassing the US$37 per ounce mark and reaching their highest levels in 14 years.

The price movements stem from a tightening supply and demand situation, which has seen above-ground inventories squeezed due to an increasing need from industrial sectors, particularly the growing photovoltaics industry.

However, demand has also increased due to heightened investor interest in alternative safe-haven assets, as gold prices reached record highs. The shifting sentiment comes amid uncertainty over a US trade policy that could reduce the world's gross domestic product by 1 percent.

5 Silver Stocks With Dividends

Silver is a notoriously volatile metal capable of wide price swings in either direction. However, the metal is also seen by many as a safe-haven investment and a hedge against inflation.

While investing in silver bullion is one popular method for gaining exposure, silver-mining companies offer another route.

Silver-mining companies with strong balance sheets and experienced management teams are able to capitalize on high silver prices and weather the storm of low silver prices. Some of the most profitable silver-mining companies are even able to offer investors dividends, which may be appealing for those who are in it for the long haul.

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."
