Overview

Endeavour Silver Corp. is a Canadian based silver mining company focused on the growth of its silver production, reserves and resources in Mexico. Expansion programs are now underway at the high grade Guanacevi Mines Project in the state of Durango and the Bolanitos Mines Project in the state of Guanajuato. In addition, Endeavour is actively exploring projects in Chihuahua and Michoacan states. The Company’s acquisition and expansion programs now underway should enable Endeavour Silver to join the ranks of the top primary silver producers worldwide.
