Silver equivalents are calculated at a ratio of 70:1 silver:gold.
Luis Castro, Vice President of Exploration, commented, "These infill drill results confirm the robust continuity, thickness and grade of the silver-gold mineralization in the Terronera vein system. In several holes, drilling intersected economic mineralization within two parallel zones where the main vein splits in two to form the hangingwall vein. Drilling is now on a break but we recently received exploration permits to continue drilling, so our next phase will target along strike to the southeast along the Terronera vein, as well as on other parallel veins that have never been drilled."
Godfrey Walton, M.Sc., P.Geo., Endeavour's President and COO, is the Qualified Person who reviewed and approved this news release and supervised the drilling programs in Mexico. A Quality Control sampling program of reference standards, blanks and duplicates has been instituted to monitor the integrity of all assay results. All samples are split at the local 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.
