ENDEAVOUR COMMENTS ON MEDIA REPORTS

London, 7 October 2024 – Endeavour Mining plc (LSE:EDV, TSX:EDV, OTCQX:EDVMF) (“Endeavour” or the “Company”) notes media reports following a radio interview with the President of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traoré.

On 5 October President Traoré spoke on Radio Burkina to commemorate two years of his Presidency. He discussed several topics including corruption, security, transport, agriculture and mining, including a reference to certain mining permits that may potentially be revoked.

Endeavour remains a trusted partner to the Government of Burkina Faso and can confirm that it is not currently aware of any plans to revoke any of its mining permits. The Government remains supportive of Endeavour’s position in country as evidenced by the recent successful settlement agreement that Endeavour signed, involving the State of Burkina Faso, in respect of the divestment of the Boungou and Wahgnion mines, for which Endeavour has now received the first $30m payment.
