Endeavour Silver Announces Commercial Production at Terronera
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 16, 2025 -- Endeavour Silver Corp. ("Endeavour" or the "Company") (NYSE:
EXK; TSX: EDR) is pleased to announce it has achieved commercial production at the Terronera mine (“Terronera”) located in
Jalisco state, Mexico, effective October 1, 2025.
The declaration of commercial production at Terronera comes after a successful commissioning phase during which both
mining and processing operations were ramped up to consistently exceed an average of 90% of the designed nameplate
capacity of 2,000 tonnes per day, while also achieving at least 90% of the projected metal recoveries.
Terronera has demonstrated remarkable progress, operating for 100 days since July 1, 2025, with eight days of downtime, and
has sustained strong metal recoveries since mid-August. This achievement marks an important milestone that positions
Endeavour for continued growth and long-term success.
"Bringing Terronera into commercial production marks a huge milestone for Endeavour Silver and represents a truly
transformational moment in our Company's history," said Dan Dickson, Chief Executive Officer. "This achievement not only
reinforces our commitment to sustainable growth but also positions Endeavour as a leading mid-tier silver producer with a solid
foundation for future expansion.”
The Company forecasts throughput of approximately 360,000 tonnes over the next six months, with average grades estimated
at 122 g/t silver and 2.52 g/t gold. Higher grade zones are scheduled to be accessed by mid-2026, which is expected to further
enhance production. Management plans to issue annualized 2026 production and cost guidance for the Terronera mine in
January 2026.
Stakeholders are invited to take a closer look at Terronera and the work the team has accomplished. To gain further insight,
