Exploration Expenditures

In 2013, Endeavour plans to spend $19.3 million on exploration at the three operating mines and five district scale exploration properties. A total of 78,500 meters of drilling in about 180-200 holes are budgeted to test approximately 24 exploration targets, in addition to all of the underground mine exploration drilling.

Every year, management aims to acquire new properties, explore them, make new discoveries and fast-track them to production. This year, we will continue to aggressively explore our property portfolio, including our emerging new high grade silver-gold discovery in the Terronera vein on the San Sebastian property in Jalisco State. Our 2012 exploration review and reserve and resource update is now nearing completion for release in February.

Endeavour is on track to deliver its ninth consecutive year of production growth in 2013 thanks to our philosophy of continuous improvement. With US$50 million in working capital, including substantial silver and gold inventories, the Company is well positioned financially to execute its business plan in 2013.
