Vancouver, Canada – November 15, 2017 – Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK, TSX: EDR) announces that exploration drilling on the Parral property in Chihuahua State, Mexico has discovered potential bulk tonnage silver mineralization within the Palmilla-Capuzaya-La Luz veins in the Palmilla mine area.

Palmilla was an historic high grade silver mine which provided silver to the Mexican mint in the late 1800’s.  While most of the narrow, high grade ores were mined out from underground workings located on and immediately south of the Parral property, Endeavour drilling has outlined lower grade, bulk tonnage mineralization above and along strike of the old workings that may be amenable to open pit mining.

Thirty two drill holes totaling 6,370 metres (m) of core were drilled to test the Palmilla mine area (view maps here). The drill holes were spaced at approximately 50 m centres along two main mineralized structures over an area 550 m long by 250 m wide by 150 m deep.

Drilling highlights include 11.1 m (36.4 feet (ft)) true width grading 154 grams per tonne (gpt) silver, 0.36 gpt gold, 0.07% lead and 0.23% zinc (179 gpt silver equivalent (AgEq) or 5.8 oz per tonne (opt) AgEq) in hole PAL-02.  Other highlights include two intercepts of 11.0 m (36.1 ft) assaying 118 gpt silver, 0.60 gpt gold, 0.15% lead and 0.22% zinc (160 gpt AgEq or 5.1 opt AgEq) and 15.1 m (49.5 ft) running 114 gpt silver, 0.2 gpt gold, 0.22% lead and 0.33% zinc (128 gpt AgEq or 4.1 opt AgEq) in hole PAL-13.
