Endeavour Silver Drilling Intersects High-Grade Silver-Gold Mineralization in Multiple Veins at the Terronera Project in Jalisco, Mexico

The drill results reported today represent ongoing exploration work at the Terronera Project, with a plan to complete 16,000 metres of drilling by the end of the year. Key targets include extensions of the Terronera vein, which hosts most of the reserves in the Terronera Feasibility Study that is currently in progress, and more regional targets to grow resources in the district. As the Feasibility Study is nearing completion, all 2021 drill results will not be included as part of the development plan.

Highlights from each structure include:

• San Simon: 9.78 gpt Au and 214 gpt Ag for 899 gpt AgEq over 1.35m ETW (TR13S-1)
• Fresno: 6.05 gpt Au and 1,056 gpt Ag for 1,479 gpt AgEq over 2.88m ETW (TR13S-1)
• Lindero: 2.63 gpt Au and 25 gpt Ag for 209 gpt AgEq over 1.08m ETW (TR7.5S-1)
• Pendencia: 1.09 gpt Au and 445 gpt Ag for 521 gpt AgEq over 1.08m ETW (ZP-01)
• Los Cuates: 1.36 gpt Au and 156 gpt Ag for 251 gpt AgEq over 1.21m ETW (LCT-03)
• Los Cuates HW: 9.52 gpt Au and 148 gpt Ag for 815 gpt AgEq over 1.95m ETW (LCT-07)

 Abbreviations include: gpt: grams per tonne; Au: gold; Ag: silver; ETW: estimated true width; m: metre; HW: hanging wall. Silver equivalents are calculated at a ratio of 70:1 silver:gold.

Luis Castro, Vice President of Exploration, commented, “These results support our view that the Terronera property continues to have significant potential to discover new mineralized zones and grow the mineral resources in multiple veins proximal to the already defined reserves and resources in the main Terronera vein. Over the past couple years, our drill programs have focused solely on delineating reserves and resources within the main Terronera vein to increase the level confidence for the Feasibility Study. During this time, surface exploration work was performed to develop and prepare additional targets in the region. These drill results verify that our detailed, methodical approach continues to be the right approach.”

Significant drill results are summarized in the following table. The Company has drilled 33 drill holes totalling 9,369 metres on the above regional targets over the past 8 months.

Qualified Person and QA/QC – Dale Mah, P.Geo., Vice President Corporate Development of Endeavour Silver, is the Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release. A Quality Control sampling program of reference standards, blanks and duplicates has been instituted to monitor the integrity of all assay results. All samples are split at the local field office and shipped to SGS Labs, where they are dried, crushed, split and 250 gram pulp samples are prepared for analysis. Gold is determined by fire assay with an atomic absorption (AAS) finish and silver by aqua regia digestion with ICP finish, over-limits by fire assay and gravimetric finish.
