(1) Silver equivalent (AgEq) is calculated using
an 80:1 silver:gold ratio.(2) These are non-IFRS financial measures
and ratios. Further details on these non-IFRS financial measures
and ratios are provided at the end of this press release and in the
MD&A accompanying the Company’s financial statements, which can
be viewed on the Company’s website, on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca
and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
In Q3 2024, direct operating costs per tonne
increased to $138.54, 2% higher than Q3 2023. The increase in the
cost per tonne compared to the prior period was due to 18% lower
tonnes processed, predominantly caused by the temporarily reduced
capacity at Guanaceví. Effective in September, the Company ceased
contract mining activities and local third-party material purchases
to lessen the impact of lower throughput on direct operating costs
and cash flow.
Consolidated cash costs per silver ounce, net of
by-product credits, is $11.35 per silver ounce, a 37% decrease
compared with $17.94 per silver ounce in Q3 2023, driven by a 39%
increase in by-product gold sales, partially offset by a 24%
decrease in silver ounces produced.
All-In-Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) decreased by
14% to $25.51 per silver ounce compared to Q3 2023 due to the lower
cash costs as noted above, and reduced sustaining capital
expenditures, partially offset by higher general and administrative
costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
consolidated direct operating cost per tonne is above the
previously noted annual guidance (since retracted) due to lower
throughput to date in 2024 following the Guanaceví trunnion
failure, partially offset by the cost saving measures actioned in
the third quarter. Per ounce guidance metrics are impacted by metal
price estimates, royalties, special mining duties and normal
variations in ore grades. The higher gold price realized has offset
increased input costs in calculating per ounce guidance
metrics.
Due to the reduced operating capacity at
Guanacevi, operating costs and all in sustaining cost metrics were
higher in the quarter than originally guided for 2024. Due to the
significant number of variables, estimates and remaining
uncertainties, management withdrew its 2024 cost guidance in
August.
The Company reported a net loss of $17.3 million
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to a
net loss of $2.3 million in Q3 2023. Excluding certain non-cash and
unusual items, and items that are subject to volatility which are
unrelated to the Company’s operation, adjusted income was $1.6
million compared to an adjusted loss of $8.3 million in Q3
2023.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024,
the Company reported revenue of $53.4 million, net of $0.5 million
of smelting and refining costs, increased by 8% compared to $49.5
million, net of $0.5 million of smelting and refining costs, in Q3
2023. Gross sales of $53.9 million in Q3 2024 represented an 8%
increase over the gross sales of $49.9 million for the same period
in 2023. A 26% decrease in silver oz sold during the period, offset
by a 24% increase in the realized silver price resulted in an 8%
decrease to silver sales. A 7% increase in gold oz sold in
combination with a 30% increase in realized gold prices resulted in
a 39% increase in gold sales. During the period, the Company sold
1,017,392 oz silver and 9,412 oz gold, for realized prices of
$29.63 and $2,528 per oz, respectively, compared to sales of
1,370,032 oz silver and 8,760 oz gold, for realized prices of
$23.99 and $1,948 per oz, respectively, in the same period of 2023.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the realized prices
of silver and gold were within 2% of the London spot prices.
The Company decreased its finished goods silver
inventory to 117,921 oz and decreased its finished goods gold
inventory to 961 oz at September 30, 2024 compared to 268,020 oz
silver and 1,261 oz gold at June 30, 2024. The cost allocated to
these finished goods was $3.1 million as at September 30, 2024,
compared to $6.1 million at June 30, 2024. As of September 30,
2024, the finished goods inventory fair market value was $6.2
million, compared to $10.8 million at June 30, 2024.
Cost of sales for Q3 2024 was $41.0 million, a
decrease of 12% over the cost of sales of $46.7 million for Q3
2023. The lower cost of sales compared to the prior period was
driven by lower silver ounces sold in the quarter as well as cost
management measures undertaken at Guanaceví following the trunnion
failure in Q3 2024, including the termination of contract mining
activities. At Guanaceví in Q3 2023 higher costs were experienced
due to lower mine productivity, an increase in the purchase of
third-party ore and additional repair costs associated with the
plant shutdown at that time.
Exploration and evaluation expenses were $4.7
million, in line with $4.2 million incurred in the same period of
2023. General and administrative expenses of $4.0 million in Q3
2024 were higher compared to the $2.4 million incurred for the same
period of 2023, primarily due to the revaluation of the
cash-settled DSU liability caused by an increase in Company’s share
price, amounting to $0.9 million increase.
The Company incurred a foreign exchange loss of
$3.1 million in Q3 2024 compared to a foreign exchange loss of $0.4
million in Q3 2023 due to a weakening of the Mexican peso at the
end of the reporting period, which decreased the US dollar value of
the Mexican peso denominated working capital surplus. In Q3 2024,
the Company incurred $0.5 million in finance charges primarily from
interest on loans related to mobile equipment and accretion of
reclamation and rehabilitation liabilities, compared to $0.3
million in the same period in 2023. The Company recognized $19.4
million loss for the period on the revaluation of the gold and
foreign exchange derivatives (2023 – nil) due to the increase in
gold forward prices and appreciation of the US dollar in relation
to the Mexican peso.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This news release contains “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the United States private
securities litigation reform act of 1995, as amended and
“forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable
Canadian securities legislation. Such forward-looking statements
and information herein include but are not limited to statements
regarding the development and financing of the Terronera Project:
anticipated timing of the project; estimated Terronera project
economics, Terronera project’s forecasted operations, costs and
expenditures, and the timing and results of various related
activities, estimated timeline for fabrication and installation of
the new trunnion at Guanacevi; Endeavour’s anticipated performance
in 2024 including changes in mining operations and forecasts of
production levels, anticipated production costs and all-in
sustaining costs and the timing and results of various activities.
The Company does not intend to and does not assume any obligation
to update such forward-looking statements or information, other
than as required by applicable law.
Forward-looking statements or information
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
and are based on assumptions that may cause the actual results,
level of activity, production levels, performance or achievements
of Endeavour and its operations to be materially different from
those expressed or implied by such statements. Such factors and
assumptions include but are not limited changes in production and
costs guidance; the ongoing effects of inflation and supply chain
issues on mine economics; national and local governments,
legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or
economic developments in Canada and Mexico; financial risks due to
precious metals prices; operating or technical difficulties in
mineral exploration, development and mining activities; risks and
hazards of mineral exploration, development and mining; the
speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; risks in
obtaining necessary licenses and permits; the Company’s ability to
continue to comply with the terms of the Debt Facility; the
Company’s ability to replace the new trunnion in the anticipated
timeframe; the successful continued operation of the repurposed
regrind mill as the primary ball mill; the ongoing effects of
inflation and supply chain issues on the Terronera Project
economics; fluctuations in the prices of silver and gold,
fluctuations in the currency markets (particularly the Mexican
peso, Chilean peso, Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar); and
challenges to the Company’s title to properties; as well as those
factors described in the section “risk factors” contained in the
Company’s most recent form 40F/Annual Information Form filed with
the S.E.C. and Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
Forward-looking statements are based on
assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including but not
limited to: the continued operation of the Company’s mining
operations, no material adverse change in the market price of
commodities, forecasted mine economics as of 2024, mining
operations will operate and the mining products will be completed
in accordance with management’s expectations and achieve their
stated production outcomes, and such other assumptions and factors
as set out herein. Although the Company has attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in forward-looking statements or
information, there may be other factors that cause results to be
materially different from those anticipated, described, estimated,
assessed or intended. There can be no assurance that any
forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate
as actual results and future events could differ materially from
those anticipated in such statements or information. Accordingly,
readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements or information.
