Endeavour Silver Receives Final Tailings Permit for the Terronera Mine Project in Jalisco State, Mexico
Endeavour Silver Receives Final Tailings Permit for the Terronera Mine Project
in Jalisco State, Mexico
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 18, 2019 -- Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK; TSX: EDR ) announces that it has
received the final tailings permit for the Terronera silver-gold mine project located in Jalisco state, Mexico.
The ETJ permit, or “Authorization to Change Soil Use on Forest Land”, was issued by SEMARNAT, the Mexican Ministry of
Environment. It gives Endeavour Silver the right to store tailings from the proposed Terronera high grade, underground, silver-
gold mine in a secure, filtered dry stack tailings facility adjacent to the proposed plant site.
Filtered dry stack tailings are considered to represent best practice in the mining sector because the tailings are filtered to
recycle the water back to the plant prior to stacking them behind a storage dam. Dry stack tailings facilities cost more to
build and operate than conventional wet tailings facilities but they are safer and “greener” and represent the future of tailings
storage.
Now that the Terronera mine project is fully permitted, Endeavour Silver plans to complete a final improved prefeasibility study
in the 3 rd quarter and arrange appropriate financing to build Endeavour’s next core asset. Following an estimated eighteen
month construction period, the Terronera mine is expected to produce more than 5 million oz silver equivalents (at an 80:1
silver:gold ratio) over a minimum 12 year mine life, at an all-in sustaining cost per oz of silver produced in the lowest quartile of
industry peers.
