Endeavour Silver Completes US$16 Million At-the-Market Equity Financing

VANCOUVER, BC --(Marketwired - April 26, 2016) - Endeavour Silver Corp. EXK EDR has completed the previously announced At-the-Market (ATM) offering for up to US$16.5 million. Under the ATM, Endeavour sold 8,017,694 shares for net proceeds of US$16.0 million. The funds will be used to advance exploration and development of the Terronera project, expedite brownfields exploration and development programs at existing mines, and add to working capital.

Endeavour CEO Bradford Cooke commented: "We are pleased to have completed this financing as it significantly strengthens our balance sheet and helps fund our growth projects. In particular, we have initiated an aggressive exploration program at the Terronera project to significantly expand the resources. This should allow us to model a larger, more economically robust high grade, underground silver-gold mine and complete the engineering work needed to deliver a pre-feasibility study."
