Milache Drill Highlights

Bradford Cooke, CEO and Director, commented, "Exploration drilling on the Milache Property near the Guanacevi Mine in Durango State, Mexico continues to extend the high grade silver-gold mineralization to the north and to depth. This high grade mineralized zone at Milache was discovered in late 2011 and the drill results since then are showing it to be one of our best new discoveries at Guanacevi in recent years. Every recent hole has intersected "kilo-plus" silver grades and significant gold grades. Drill hole MCH-15 contains the highest grade vein intercept ever drilled by Endeavour in the district of Guanacevi."

Godfrey Walton, M.Sc., P.Geo., President and COO, is the Qualified Person who reviewed and approved this news release and supervised the drilling programs on the Milache property. A Quality Control sampling program of reference standards, blanks and duplicates has been instituted to monitor the integrity of all assay results. All samples were split at the Guanajuato field office and shipped to ALS-Chemex Labs, where they are dried, crushed, split and 50 gram pulp samples are prepared for analysis. Gold and silver are determined by fire assay with an atomic absorption (AA) finish and other elements are determined by AA.
