Endeavour Silver Extends New High Grade Silver-Gold Mineralization in Villalpando-Asuncion Vein at El Cubo Mine Over 800 Metr...

Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE:EXK)(TSX:EDR) announces that exploration drilling
at the El Cubo mine in Guanajuato State, Mexico has extended the recently
discovered high grade, silver-gold mineralized zone in the Asuncion area of the
Villalpando vein system (V-Asuncion) to over 800 metres long, still open at
depth and to the southeast for expansion.


Drilling highlights from the V-Asuncion area in 2014 include 194 grams per tonne
(gpt) silver and 2.89 gpt gold over 13.6 metres (m) true width, or 10.7 ounces
per ton (opT) silver equivalents over 44.6 feet (ft), in hole CAS-44, including
10,843 gpt silver and 99.2 gpt gold over 0.15 m true width, or 490 opT silver
equivalents over 0.5 ft (this high grade interval is uncut but only 1% of the
total interval).


At a 100 gpt/m cutoff, this mineralized zone now measures more than 800 m long
by up to 400 m deep by up to 14 metres thick (see V-Asuncion longitudinal
section here). Silver equivalents are calculated at a ratio of 60: 1 silver:
gold. Drilling highlights were as follows:

In 2012, Endeavour identified the V-Asuncion area as one of several highly
prospective target areas for the discovery of new high grade silver-gold
mineralization at El Cubo. At that time, the evidence for potential
mineralization consisted of some old flooded mine workings at V-Asuncion, high
grade mineralization in a small resource area a few hundred metres to the
northwest within the Villalpando vein, and an extensive area to the southeast of
V-Asuncion within the prospective "bonanza" horizon that had never been drilled.


In 2013, the Company dewatered the V-Asuncion mine area and gained access to map
and sample the underground mine workings. Exploration crews discovered that the
V-Asuncion area hosted not one but two veins in what was clearly a strong
dilation zone within the eight kilometre long Villalpando vein, one of the main
veins hosting historic silver-gold mines at El Cubo. Surface drilling confirmed
the presence of two vein splays and the discovery of the new V-Asuncion high
grade mineralized zone.


In 2014, the focus in the V-Asuncion area is three-fold: step-out drilling with
two surface drill rigs to determine the size of the resource, underground mine
development to provide access to the mineralized zone and outline new reserves,
and production to expand the mine output from 1,200 tpd up to 1,550 tpd in order
to fill the plant to capacity by year-end.


Luis Castro, Vice President of Exploration, commented, "With our refined
understanding of the local geological controls on mineralization at El Cubo, we
were able to go from target definition to a new discovery to resource and
reserve definition at V-Asuncion in the space of one year. We estimated a small
resource for this area at the end of 2013 and we anticipate it to be
significantly larger for our year-end reserve/resource estimate and mine plan.
In fact, typical of the Endeavour business model, the mine operations team
gained access to and commenced production from the V-Asuncion area last year."


Godfrey Walton, M.Sc., P.Geo. President and COO, is the Qualified Person who
reviewed and approved this news release and supervised the drilling programs at
El Cubo. 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 El Cubo 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.
