Endeavour Silver Appoints Don Gray as COO, Awards Feasibility Study for

Terronera Project to Wood plc

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 15, 2020 -- Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK; TSX: EDR) announces the

appointment of Mr. Donald (Don) Gray, B.Sc., MSE, MBA as its new Chief Operating Officer, effective today.  Godfrey Walton,

COO since the founding of the Company, will retire at year-end and retains the role of President until then to facilitate the COO

transition period.

Mr. Gray brings to Endeavour his 40 years of experience in the mining industry, having worked for senior mining companies

such as Exxon, Hecla, Newmont, Coeur throughout much of Latin America, as well as Spain and the United States.  Most

recently, as COO of Continental Gold Inc., he steered the successful completion of mine development and mill construction at

their Buritica gold mine in Colombia, culminating in the company being purchased by Zijin Mining Group earlier this year. Prior

to that, Mr. Gray was with Tahoe Resources, initially as General Manager/Vice President and then as President/Country

Manager, where he oversaw the successful design, construction and startup of the Escobal silver mine in Guatemala.

Don holds a B.Sc. degree in Mining Engineering from the University of Idaho, an MSE Civil Engineering degree from the

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an MBA from Auburn University.

Mr. Gray brings to Endeavour his expertise in all aspects of mine engineering and operations, including strategic planning and

budget oversight, economic evaluations and corporate development. He has been responsible for designing, financing,

constructing and operating large precious metal mines along with all related sustainability programs including health, safety,

environmental, community, security and labour, and corporate responsibilities with stakeholders.

Bradford Cooke, CEO and Director, commented, “I would like to welcome Don to our senior management team as he takes on

this key role in helping to build a bigger and better Endeavour Silver.  Don’s experience, expertise and leadership should help

us extract more value from our current and future assets for the benefit of all stakeholders.  While we still have three months to

say goodbye with Godfrey Walton, I would like to thank him for his 17 years of dedicated service to the Company.”
