A unique opportunity in the silver industry - Mexico’s next silver development

Terronera, Endeavour’s next core asset

Terronera represents Endeavour’s next core asset – future flagship mine, located in San Sebastian del Oeste, a historic silver mining district in Jalisco State, Mexico. Since acquiring the property in 2010, Endeavour has completed six independent technical reports, including a recent NI 43-101 feasibility study (see news release dated September 9, 2021) and over 105,000 metres of drilling.

The feasibility study supports a high-grade, silver-gold underground mining operation, producing an average of 3.3 million payable oz silver and 32,874 payable oz gold per year over a 12-year mine life. A 1,700 tpd mechanized, underground, ramp access mine and plant will be built over a 24-month period; once a formal construction decision has been granted.

A video webcast and detailed investor presentation, prepared to accompany the NI 43-101 feasibility study and related news release, is available here.

Several identified opportunities remain to enhance the value of the Terronera Project, which will be evaluated during the construction phase. The main Terronera and La Luz vein orebodies are both open to a certain extent to surface and at depth. There are three main areas with significant potential to increase mineral resources: (i) the deep central area, (ii) the central-north part and (iii) the shallow part of the Santa Gertrudis – El Hundido area. As per the news release dated June 8, 2021, the Company announced that it has intercepted high-grade silver-gold mineralization in a number of structures near the Terronera vein, highlighting the potential of the area. Four structures (the San Simon, Fresno, Pendencia and Lindero veins) are located immediately to the southeast of the Terronera vein. The Los Cuates vein is located ~10 kilometres to the northwest of the Terronera Project.
