Sebastien de Montessus, President and CEO, commented: “2022 was another successful year for Endeavour in which we

delivered against all our objectives and met guidance for the 10th consecutive year.

We produced 1.4Moz of gold over the year, reaching the to p end of our guidance. We are particularly pleased to have achieved

our all-in sustaining cost guidance of below $930/oz, despite the inflationary pressures impacting the industry, as a result of our

strong production performance and optimisation initiatives.

This operational performance resulted in robust cash flow generation which has allowed us to fund both our growth and

shareholder returns programme while also improving our financial position. We are excited by our growth prospects given

2

construction activities for the Sabodala-Massawa expansion and the Lafigué greenfield project are progressing well, with both on

budget and on track for first production in 2024. Moreover, our exploration programme was very successful with the discovery of

the promising Tanda-Iguela deposit, which has the potential to be another cornerstone asset for the Company.

During 2022, we continued to deliver on our commitment to generate attractive shareholder returns with approximately $100

million of share buybacks completed and $200 million of dividends announced for the year, which is well above our $150 million

minimum commitment. This represents a return to shareholders of $212/oz of gold produced in the form of dividends and

buybacks.

With a strengthened management team, we look forward to further success in 2023, with our guidance demonstrating

confidence in our continued ability to deliver against our strategic objectives for the benefit of all our stakeholders.”

MANAGEMENT CHANGES

As part of its continuous efforts to optimise the business and deliver Endeavour's next growth phase, the Company is pleased to

announce several changes to its senior management team.

In March 2023, Joanna Pearson will be stepping down as EVP and Chief Fi nancial Officer ("CFO") and will be replaced by Guy

Young. Mr. Young will join Endeavour from Vesuvius plc, the FTSE250 molten metal engineering and technology group, where he

has been Chief Financial Officer since 2015. Prior to this, he served as Chief F inancial Officer of Tarmac and subsequently Lafarge

Tarmac, the British building materials company. He previously held a number of senior financial and business development

positions at Anglo -American plc. In addition, Martino De Ciccio, currently Vice Pre sident of Strategy and Investor Relations, will

assume the newly created role of Deputy CFO, maintaining his focus on investor relations.

Further changes have also been made to the Company's senior team to reflect the company's evolution over the past year s. The

Executive Committee will now be composed of ten members comprised of Sebastien de Montessus as CEO, Mark Morcombe as

Chief Operating Officer, Guy Young as CFO, Morgan Carroll as EVP Corporate Finance and General Counsel, Pascal Bernasconi as

EVP Public Affairs and Security, David Dragone as EVP HR and Communications who recently joined the Group, Martin White as

EVP Projects (previously General Manager at Endeavour's Mana mine), Jono Lawrence as EVP Exploration (previously SVP

Exploration), Guenole P ichevin as EVP Strategy and Business Development (previously VP Strategy and Business Development),

and Djaria Traore as EVP ESG and Supply Chain (previously VP Supply Chain).

In accordance with Endeavour’s succession planning strategy, Jono Lawrence repla ces Patrick Bouisset who retired on 31

December 2022. Subject to shareholders approval at the next Annual General Meeting in May 2023, Mr. Bouisset is expected to

be appointed to the Endeavour Board as a Non-Executive Director and a La Mancha representative, replacing Jim Askew who has

decided to retire and will not therefore stand for re -election. The Company confirms that there is no further information to be

disclosed in respect of Mr. Bouisset’s appointment under the FCA’s Listing Rule 9.6.13.

SHAREHOLDER RETURNS PROGRAMME

• Endeavour is pleased to announce its H2 -2022 interim dividend of $100 million or approximately $ 0.41 per share based on

its current issued share capital. As such, the total dividend amounts to $200 million or approximately $ 0.81 per share for FY-

2022, which represents $50 million or 33% more than the minimum dividend commitment for the year, reiterating

Endeavour's strong commitment to paying supplemental shareholder returns.

• The ex-dividend date for the H2 -2022 interim dividend will be 23 February 2023 and the record date will be 24 Feb ruary

2023. The dividend will be paid on or about 28 March 2023 (the “Payment Date”). Shareholders of shares traded on the

Toronto Stock Exchange will receive dividends in Canadian Dollars (“CAD”), but can elect to receive United States Dollars

(“USD”). Shareholders of shares traded on the London Stock Exchange will receive dividends in USD, but can elect to receive

Pounds Sterling (“GBP”). Currency elections and elections under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") must

be made by shareholders prior to 17:00 GMT on 7 March 2023. Dividends will be paid in the default or elected currency on

the Payment Date, at the prevailing USD:CAD and USD:GBP exchange rates on 13 March 2022. This dividend does not qualify

as an “eligible dividend” for Canadian income tax purposes. The tax consequences of the dividend will be dependent on the

particular circumstances of a shareholder.

• Shareholder returns are being supplemented through the Company’s share buyback programme. A total of $98.7 million, or

4.6 million shares were repurchased during FY -2022, of which $24.2 million or 1.2 million shares were repurchased in Q4 -

2022.

• As shown in Table 3 below, Endeavour returned $299 million to shareholders for FY -2022 through dividends and share

buybacks, equivalent to $212 per ounce produced. Since the launch of the Company’s shareholder returns programme in

early 2021, a cumulative $637 million (including the upcoming H2 -2022 dividend) has been delivered to shareholders in the

form of dividends and share buybacks.

• At 31 December 2022, Endeavour’s available sources of financing and liquidity remained strong at approximately $1.53

billion, which included approximately $951 million from its current cash position and $575 million in undrawn funds from its

revolving credit facility, which has been upsized from $500 million to $575 million to provide additional liquidity headroom

during the Company's ongoing construction phase. As a result, the Company has significant financial flexibility to settle the

principal amount of its outstanding convertible bond in cash at its maturity on 15 February 2023.

2022 OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

• FY-2022 production from continuing operations amounted to 1,400koz, achieving the top end of the guided 1,315 -1,400koz

range while all -in sustaining costs ("AISC") amounted to ~$928/oz, achieving the guided $880 -930/oz range in spite of

industry-wide inflationary pressures. The production out -performance is mainly due to the Houndé and Ity mines which

benefitted from higher than planned throughput, and the Mana mine where higher than expected open pit mining tonnages

were ext racted from the Wona open pit prior to its depletion. Inflationary pressures on costs were partially offset by

favourable foreign exchange movements as the Euro declined against the Dollar as well as group -wide optimisation

initiatives.

• FY-2022 production from continuing operations decreased by 36koz or 3% from 1,436koz in FY -2021 to 1,400koz in FY -2022

due to lower production at Boungou, Mana and Wahgnion as a result of mining and processing of lower grade ore. AISC from

continuing operations increased, in line with guidance, from $882/oz in FY-2021 to $928/oz in FY-2022.

• The Group’s realised gold price from continuing operations, excluding the impact of realised gains on gold hedges and

inclusive of the Sabodala -Massawa gold stream, was $1,742/oz and $1, 792/oz for Q4 -2022 and FY -2022 respectively.

Including the impact of the gold hedges, the Group's realised gold price from continuing operations was $1,758/oz and

$1,807/oz for Q4-2022 and FY-2022 respectively.

1All Q4-2022 and FY-2022 numbers are preliminary and reflect Endeavour's expected results as at the date of this press release.

Q4-2022 vs Q3-2022 Insights

• Production decreased due to lower tonnes milled and a slightly lower recovery rate, while processed grades remained flat.

– Total ore tonnes mined increased due to greater ore availability and lower stripping in the West Pit compared to the prior

quarter.

– Tonnes milled decreased due to downtime experienc ed during the quarter due to the previously disclosed supply chain

challenges in the quarter.

– Average grade processed remained flat compared to the prior quarter as a decrease in the average grade of mined ore

was offset by reduced reliance on lower grade stockpiles in the mill feed.

– Recovery rates decreased slightly due in part to reduced volumes in the processing circuit.

• AISC decreased due to lower mining unit costs driven by reduced haulage and blasting, partially offset by lower ounces sold

during the quarter.

FY-2022 Performance

• FY-2022 production totalled 116koz, which inline with the previously disclosed outlook, stands below the guided 130 -140koz

range mainly due to lower than scheduled mining activities, which limited access to higher grade ore, as a result of supply

chain delays. FY-2022 AISC amounted to approximately $1,064/oz, which is above the guided $900 -1,000/oz range due to the

lower than expected production, higher fuel prices and increased security costs.

• FY-2022 production decreased from 174koz in FY -2021 to 116koz in FY -2022 due to the impact of lower grade material

available in FY-2022 due to supply chain delays. FY -2022 AISC increased from $ 801/oz in FY-2021 to $1,064/oz in FY-2022 due

to the lower grades processed, and fuel, consumable and security cost increases.

2023 Outlook

• Boungou is expected to produce between 115-125koz in FY-2023 at an AISC of between $985-1,075/oz.

• Mining activities in H1 -2023 are expected to focus on waste strippi ng at the West Flank pit and ore mining in the West pit

phase 3. In H2 -2023, greater ore volumes are expected to be sourced from the West Flank pit. Mill throughput is expected to

decrease slightly while grades are expected to improve year over year. Production is expected to be weighted towards H2-2023

as higher grades will be accessed from the West Flank pit in H2-2023 after waste stripping activities wind down.

• Sustaining capital expenditure is expected to decrease from approximately $6.6 million in FY -2022 to $5.0 million in FY-2023,

relating mainly to waste stripping, plant maintenance and fuel storage capacity increases.

• Non-sustaining capital expenditure is expected to increase from approximately $27.5 million in FY -2022 to $30.0 million in FY-

2023, relating primarily to significant waste stripping activity at the West Flank pit in H1-2023.

1All Q4-2022 and FY-2022 numbers are preliminary and reflect Endeavour's expected results as at the date of this press release.

Q4-2022 vs Q3-2022 Insights

• Production decreased due to lower processed grades, which was slightly offset by higher mill throughput, while recovery rates

remained flat.

– Tonnes of ore mined increased as higher volumes mined in the Kari West and Vindaloo Main pits offset lower volumes

from the Kari Pump pit, where stripping activities have continued. Total tonnes mined increased due to higher utilisation

of the mining fleet following the end of the wet season.

– Tonnes milled increased as there was a higher proportion of softer ore from Kari West in the mill feed enabling higher

throughput rates.

– Processed grades decreased, as p er the outlook previously disclosed, due to less high grade oxide ore sourced from the

Kari Pump pit given the increased focus on stripping activities.

• AISC increased mainly due to increased mining volumes and lower production due to lower average grade in the ore blend in

addition to higher unit milling costs.

FY-2022 Performance

• FY-2022 production totalled 295koz, which inline with the previously disclosed outlook, exceeded the guided 260 -275koz

range, due to higher than scheduled volumes of high grade or e sourced from the Kari area and better mill performance

following optimisation initiatives. FY-2022 AISC amounted to approximately $ 809/oz, which is below the guided $875 -925/oz

range due to the benefit of the higher than expected production.

• FY-2022 production remained consistent with FY -2021 as increased mill throughput, driven by efficiency improvements, and

improved recoveries associated with the high -grade ore sourced from the Kari Pump pit offset a lower average grade milled.

FY-2022 AISC decreased from $843/oz in FY-2021 to approximately $809/oz in FY-2022 due to lower waste mining volumes.

2023 Outlook

• Houndé is expected to produce between 270-285koz in FY-2023 at AISC of $850-925/oz.

• Mining activities during the year will focus on the Vindaloo Main, Kari Pump and Kari West pits. In H1-2023, ore is expected to

primarily be mined from the Kari West pit, while significant waste stripping is underway at the Kari Pump and Vindaloo Main

pits. In H2 -2023, greater ore volumes are expected to be mined from the Kari Pump and Vindaloo Main pits following the

waste stripping in H1-2023, with Kari West continuing to provide supplemental feed. Production for the year is expected to be

weighted towards H2 -2023 as the waste stripping activities in H1 -2023 are expected to provide access to higher grade ore

sources at both the Kari Pump and Vindaloo Main pits in the second half of the year. Throughput and recoveries are expected

to be slightly lower in FY-2023 compared to FY-2022 due to a greater proportion of harder fresh ore in the blend.

• Sustaining capital expenditure is expected to increase from $27.4 million in FY-2022 to approximately $40.0 million in FY-2023,

relating mainly to waste stripping, fleet re-builds and plant equipment replacements and upgrades.

• Non-sustaining capital expenditure is expected to decrease from $39.2 million in FY-2022 to approximately $35.0 million in FY-

2023, and primarily relates to waste stripping activities and stage 8 and 9 of the TSF1 embankment raise.
