Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX:EDR)(NYSE:EXK) reports strong silver and gold production results in the Second Quarter, 2014, trending ahead of guidance year to date. The Company owns and operates three silver-gold mines in Mexico: the Guanacevi mine in Durango state and the Bolanitos and El Cubo mines in Guanajuato state. Silver production in the Second Quarter, 2014 was up 9% to 1,669,609 ounces (oz), while gold production was down 24% to 15,136 oz compared to the Second Quarter, 2013. Silver equivalent production fell 6% to 2.6 million oz using a 60:1 silver:gold ratio. Production Highlights for Second Quarter, 2014 (Compared to Second Quarter, 2013) -- Silver production increased 9% to 1,669,609 oz -- Gold production decreased 24% to 15,136 oz -- Silver equivalent production decreased 6% to 2.6 million oz (at a 60:1 silver: gold ratio) -- Silver oz sold down 1% to 1,774,306 oz -- Gold oz sold down 42% to 14,688 oz -- Bullion inventory at quarter-end included 119,866 oz silver and 272 oz gold -- Concentrate inventory at quarter-end included 86,724 oz silver and 1,266 oz gold Endeavour CEO Bradford Cooke commented: "Our second quarter silver production improved year-on-year but pulled back from the out-performance of our first quarter production, closer to our plan for 2014. Quarterly gold production was lower compared to last year primarily due to the over-production of the Bolanitos mine in 2013. Production remains ahead of guidance year to date, and safety remains our top priority. "With all three mines performing well, we turned our focus in Q2, 2014 back to exploration. We now have a total of 12 drill rigs working at the three mines plus our emerging new high grade silver-gold discovery on the San Sebastian property." At Guanacevi, higher silver grades and higher recoveries related to ore from the Porvenir Cuatro mine helped deliver a significant production increase compared to the Second Quarter, 2013. At Bolanitos, the mine continued to operate at plant capacity in the Second Quarter, 2014. Gold grades continued to exceed estimated reserve grades. In 2013, excess ore from the mine was processed at El Cubo facilities but in 2014, management is focused on ramping up ore production at El Cubo to fill its own plant to capacity by year-end. At El Cubo, production grades improved in the Second Quarter, 2014, but mine output declined due to development initiatives, part closure of the mine subsequent to the fatality reported April 9, and the Company initiatives to re-implement programs of safe practices in the workplace and re-train the entire workforce. Management continues to focus on accelerated mine development and training needed in order to make the performance progress sustainable over the longer term. The mine is now back on plan to fill the plant capacity by year-end and start building an ore stockpile.
