Vancouver, Canada – April 29, 2020 - Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK) (TSX: EDR - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/endeavour-silver-corp/) announces that the Mexican government has decreed an extension of the suspension of all non-essential activities until May 30, 2020.  However, the suspension of activities will cease to be applicable as of May 18, 2020 in municipalities that present low or no known cases or transmission of the SARS-CoV2 virus, subject to criteria to be defined by the Secretariat of Health.

Mining was previously deemed by the Mexican health authority to be a non-essential activity, leading Endeavour to suspend its three mining operations on April 1, 2020.  However, the Company’s three mines are located in municipalities with low or no transmission of the SARS-CoV2 virus.  Therefore, Endeavour now anticipates reopening its mines around May 18, 2020, pursuant to the government decree. The Company has also filed applications for exemptions to reopen earlier if feasible and permitted.

Bradford Cooke, CEO, commented, “We look forward to bringing our mines back to production in a safe and orderly manner.  Naturally, we will continue to apply all aspects of our coronavirus plan to maintain the health of our people and the local communities.”

“We also filed a new shelf prospectus in the USA as our previous one was due to expire.  The new shelf prospectus has a two-year life and expedites our access the Canadian and US capital markets for debt and equity financings.  For example, it should facilitate the financing we need to construct the high grade Terronera project which has the potential to become our next core asset.”

Base Shelf Prospectus

Endeavour also announces the filing of a final short form base shelf prospectus (“Prospectus”) to provide the Company with the flexibility to take advantage of debt, convertible debt, equity and other financing opportunities that may arise during the 25‑month effective period of the Prospectus. The Company’s existing base shelf prospectus dated April 10, 2018 has been withdrawn.

The Prospectus has been filed in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Quebec, and a corresponding shelf registration statement on Form F‑10 (“Registration Statement”) was also filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These filings enable offerings of common shares, warrants, subscription receipts, debt and convertible debt securities or units of up to an aggregate initial offering price of CAD$150 million at any time during the period the Prospectus is effective.

Copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus contained therein can be obtained by contacting Endeavour Silver at Suite 1130‑609 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V7Y 1G5, Attention: Daniel Dickson, Chief Financial Officer. Copies of the Prospectus and the Registration Statement are also available at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, respectively.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell any securities or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.  If any securities are offered under the Prospectus or Registration Statement the terms of any such securities and the intended use of any net proceeds will be established at the time of any such offering and will be described in a Prospectus supplement filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the SEC at the time of any such an offering and would be made available by Endeavour at the above address.
