Vancouver, Canada – October 24, 2017 – Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK, TSX: EDR) announces that exploration drilling on the Parral property in Chihuahua State, Mexico has verified high grade silver mineralization within the Argentina-Remedios area of the Veta Colorada, which was drilled but never mined by a previous owner, IMMSA.
Industrial Minera Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (IMMSA) operated a high grade silver mine on the Veta Colorada until 1990 and on closing left behind a 32.1 million oz historical silver resource contained in 4.0 million tonnes (t) grading 248.5 grams per tonne (gpt). A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as a current mineral resource, Endeavour has not verified the historical resource and is not relying on it as a current mineral resource.
Twenty-one drill holes totaling 6,928 metres (m) of core were drilled to test the portion of the historic resource located within the Argentina-Remedios area of the Veta Colorada. (View long section here). The drill holes were spaced at approximately 100 m centres over an area 400 m long by 400 m deep.
Drilling highlights include 457 gpt silver over a 9.3 m true width (13.3 opT Ag over 30.5 feet (ft)) in hole CV26.5-1. Another high grade intercept assayed 4,641 gpt silver over a 2.3 m true width (135.3 opT Ag over 7.5 ft) in hole CV27-2.
