Access ramps completed and mining now underway at two new veins in Guanajuato, Lucero and San Jose

Acquired the strategic Porvenir Cuatro properties at Guanacevi adjoining Endeavour’s Porvenir Dos property, exploration drilling commenced in June

“Endeavour enjoyed another strong quarter of growing silver production, falling cash costs, exploration success and new mine development in Q2, 2009. Management remains focused on unfolding the full organic growth potential of our two core operating assets in Mexico. At Guanacevi, the new Alex Breccia and Porvenir Dos mines are now open and ore production from these two new mines will continue to climb in Q3 and Q4, 2009 as mine development opens new levels. The success enjoyed by our Guanajuato operations team in fast-tracking the new Lucero and San Jose Vein discoveries to production in Q1, 2009 prompted management to accelerate their development and approve a 20% plant expansion to 600 tonnes per day (tpd) in Q3, 2009. We are now evaluating an additional plant expansion to 800 tpd (1.5 to 2.0 million oz per year depending on grades and recoveries) at Guanajuato and the final phase of plant upgrades at Guanacevi for next year.” a comment from Bradford Cooke, Chairman and CEO.
