US officials say the overnight strikes on targets in Iraq and Syria were successful, and that the bombers hit what they were intended to hit. The targets were military infrastructure used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps and the militias Iran supports in Iraq and Syria, in seven locations along the Iraq-Syria border.

It is too early to say what impact the strikes will have, and whether they will, indeed, stop the attacks that have been carried out by those groups. In Washington, officials say this is just the beginning, and that more strikes will come.

For days, the White House has been telegraphing its intentions, probably to minimise casualties and reduce tensions with Iran. President Biden is walking a fine line, as he wants to give a strong response to last Sunday’s attack in Jordan that killed three US troops without escalating the situation in the Middle East even further.

Iranian proxies, part of what Tehran describes as the Axis of Resistance, have also been carrying out attacks from Lebanon and Yemen, as Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza continues. At the same time, Iran has said it does not want a war with the US. So a key question now is about how – or if – Iran and the groups it supports will respond.

The United States has launched strikes overnight against Iranian-backed groups in Iraq and Syria, hitting at least 85 targets.
The strikes follow a drone attack last Sunday that targeted a US military base in Jordan, killing three American soldiers and injuring dozens more.
The White House has blamed Iran and US President Joe Biden has warned "if you harm an American, we will respond".
Iran has denied involvement and describes accusations by the US as "baseless".
Numerous aircraft and more than 125 precision munitions were used in the strikes, according to US Centcom.
United States defence secretary Lloyd Austin has said the US "will continue to work to avoid a wider conflict" but will take all necessary actions to defend itself and its people.

SHAREHOLDER RETURNS PROGRAMME

In line with Endeavour’s capital allocation framework, the Company is pleased to continue to deliver attractive shareholder returns by declaring a H2-2023 dividend of $100.0 million, or approximately $0.41 per share. As such, the FY-2023 dividend amounts to $200.0 million, which represents $25.0 million or 14% more than the minimum dividend commitment of $175.0 million for the year, reiterating Endeavour's strong commitment to paying supplemental shareholder returns. Endeavour’s H2-2023 dividend will be paid on 25 March 2024, with an ex-dividend date of 22 February 2024, to shareholders of record on 23 February 2024. Shareholders of shares traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange will receive dividends in Canadian Dollars (“CAD”), but can elect to receive United States Dollars (“USD”). Shareholders of shares traded on the London Stock Exchange will receive dividends in USD, but can elect to receive Pounds Sterling (“GBP”). Currency elections and elections under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") must be made by shareholders prior to 17:00 GMT on 4 March 2024. Dividends will be paid in the default or elected currency on the Payment Date, at the prevailing USD:CAD and USD:GBP exchange rates on 6 March 2024. This dividend does not qualify as an “eligible dividend” for Canadian income tax purposes. The tax consequences of the dividend will be dependent on the particular circumstances of a shareholder.Shareholder returns are being supplemented through the Company’s share buyback programme. A total of $65.7 million, or 3.0 million shares were repurchased during FY-2023, of which $25.7 million or 1.3 million shares were repurchased in Q4-2023.As shown in Table 2 below, Endeavour has returned $266.0 million to shareholders for FY-2023 through dividends and share buybacks, 52% above the $175.0 million minimum dividend commitment for the year, and equivalent to $226 per ounce produced from all operations. Since the shareholder returns programme began to be paid in 2021, Endeavour has returned $903.0 million to shareholders in the form of dividends and buybacks, inclusive of the H2-2023 dividend, which represents $393.0 million or 77% more than its minimum commitment over the period.

2023 was another successful year for Endeavour during which we continued to focus on improving the quality of our portfolio through asset optimisation initiatives, the divestment of non-core Boungou and Wahgnion mines, construction of our two high-margin, long life growth projects, and continue to deliver significant exploration success.

On the operational front, we are pleased to have met production guidance for the eleventh consecutive year and to remain one of the lowest all-in sustaining cost producers within the sector, allowing us to generate robust cash flow to fund both our organic growth and shareholder returns programmes. Moreover, we achieved record production at both Ity and Houndé in 2023 where production exceeded 300koz. As we look forward to continuing to optimise and explore these two mines with the goal of sustaining such levels of production over the long-term, Endeavour's other flagship asset, Sabodala-Massawa, is well positioned to produce up to 400koz in 2024.

Regarding our near-term growth plans, we are very pleased to report that both the Sabodala-Massawa expansion and the Lafigué development project are progressing well, with both projects on budget and on, or ahead of, schedule for first production in the second quarter of 2024. Our longer-term organic growth pipeline is equally attractive, following the delineation of a 4.5 million ounce Indicated resource at our Tanda-Iguela greenfield property in Côte d’Ivoire. This represents one of the most significant discoveries in West Africa over the past decade and we have launched a preliminary feasibility study that we expect to finalise by year end, as we continue to focus on increasing its size.

Throughout last year, we continued to execute on our commitment to deliver attractive shareholder returns, returning $200 million of dividends for the year and having repurchased $66 million worth of shares, which combined is equivalent to $226 for every ounce of gold produced from all operations. Importantly, since we began the shareholder returns programme in 2021, we have returned over $900 million to shareholders representing 77% more than the minimum commitment for the period. Looking ahead, our goal is to increase returns further once our two ongoing organic growth projects are complete.

Is the strike still ongoing in Hounde? Have the police been informed about the missing $7m? Who knew about the $7m, are any working for EDV?

Bgt in here this morning. The ceo debacle looks like a good opportunity to pick up shares in a great gold miner for a fantastic price. Hedging seems to allow for the gold price to increase significantly without much penalty, but also providing assurance in the outside chance of significant falls. Q4 and 2024 both looking good for production.

I noticed a lack of exposure to gold mining companies in my portfolio and these fit the bill and currently towards the lower end of the 1 year price range.

Happy to add to position as funds allow.

As previously stated, Endeavour implemented a dividend policy in 2021,
with the goal of supplementing its minimum dividend commitment with
additional dividends and share buybacks provided that the prevailing
higher gold prices remained above $1,500/oz and its leverage remained
below 0.5x Net Debt / adj EBITDA. Endeavour's goal is to increase its
shareholder returns programme once its organic growth projects are
completed, along with the strengthening of its balance sheet, thereby
ensuring that its efforts to unlock growth immediately benefit all its
stakeholders. Endeavour's next semi-annual dividend is expected to be
announced in early August, along with its Q2 and H1-2024 financial
results.
