VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endeavour Silver Corp. (“Endeavour” or the “Company”) (NYSE: EXK; TSX: EDR) reports second quarter 2026 production of 1,943,955 silver ounces (“oz”), 10,474 gold oz, and in combination with base metals, a silver equivalent (1) production of 3.4 million oz. Year-to-date production was 3,819,329 silver oz and 22,215 gold oz for a total silver equivalent production of 6.8 million ounces. All dollar amounts are in US dollars ($).
“During the second quarter, we continued to advance our operational priorities across the portfolio, with Terronera making steady progress through plant optimization, Kolpa delivering a meaningful step-up in throughput following its plant expansion, and Pitarrilla feasibility study advancing,” commented Dan Dickson, Chief Executive Officer. “While Terronera’s production remains in line with our planned first-half ramp-up profile, the continued improvement in Terronera recoveries and the strong contribution from Kolpa position us well as we work to build momentum through the remainder of 2026.”
Q2 2026 Production Overview
- Terronera Continues Plant Optimization: Throughput was consistent with plan in Q2, while metal recoveries improved through continued process refinement.
- Kolpa Expansion Increases Throughput: A significant portion of the plant expansion was commissioned at the end of Q1 2026, resulting in throughput of 233,408 tonnes in Q2 2026, a substantial increase compared to previous quarters. Recoveries remained stable through Q2 2026, while grades experienced a slight decrease as mining development in higher-grade areas catches up with the new plant capacity. As a result, Q2 2026 silver production was
19% higher than Q1 2026 and silver equivalent production was26% higher. - Guanaceví Maintains Stable Throughput: Throughput and recoveries were slightly higher than Q2 2025, offset by lower silver and gold grades. As a result, silver production was below plan while gold production remains in line with plan.
- Metal Sales and Inventories: Sold 2,086,717 silver oz and 10,823 gold oz during the second quarter. A total of 268,522 silver oz and 900 gold oz of bullion inventory and 41,771 silver ounces and 399 gold ounces in concentrate inventory are held as at June 30, 2026.
