Bradford Cooke, CEO of Endeavour, stated: "Consolidated silver and silver equivalent production remained on track in Q3 to meet our production guidance for the year. Production is expected to improve in the fourth quarter as our annual capital programs near completion and our mine optimization programs gain more traction in response to the current low metal prices.

"Our operating costs per tonne came down in Q3 but the cash costs per ounce drifted higher due to lower gold grades and prices. All-in sustaining costs are normally higher in Q2 and Q3 because these are typically the peak spending quarters for our capital and exploration programs each year. Since the end of Q3, we have accelerated cost cutting and revenue enhancement initiatives at each mine.

"We recently received the government mine development permit for our San Sebastián project in Jalisco state, Mexico. San Sebastián is an emerging new high grade silver-gold discovery which could represent the next phase of growth for Endeavour. Management is now working on the individual change of soil use permits, an updated resource estimate, initial mine plan and in-house economic scoping study followed by an independent PEA. Infill drilling continues with one drill rig while waiting for receipt of additional drill permits."

Operating Results and Outlook

Consolidated quarterly silver production fell 12% and gold production fell 38% compared to the third quarter in 2013 due mainly to lower tonnage throughput and lower gold grades. In 2013, the Company took advantage of available capacity at the leased Las Torres plant near El Cubo to boost mine production from Bolañitos. The Las Torres plant lease was relinquished in August 2013 and as a result the Bolañitos mine is now running at its 1,600 tpd plant capacity.

Management evaluates its mine plan alternatives during the fourth quarter of each year in order to finalize the following year's production targets and provide public guidance in January. With the recent drop in precious metal prices, management is now reviewing various mine plans for each operation in 2015 that include the possibility of reducing annual production to optimize their short and long term viability. Bolanitos' production rate is expected to taper in 2015 from 1,600 tpd to 1,200 tpd until the ramp access for L-Asuncion ore bodies is established in late 2015.

Financial Results

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company generated revenue totaling $40.5 million (2013 -- $67.8 million). During the quarter, the Company sold 1,227,466 silver ounces and 13,631 gold ounces at realized prices of $18.78 and $1,278 per ounce respectively, compared to sales of 1,693,989 silver ounces and 20,958 gold ounces at realized prices of $22.60 and $1,409 per ounce respectively in Q3, 2013. At the end of Q3, 2014 the Company carried an additional 350,704 oz of silver in inventory, rather than selling into falling metal prices. Inventories at the end of Q3, 2014 totalled 557,294 oz silver and 1,454 oz gold.

After cost of sales of $44.1 million (2013 -- $46.1 million), mine operating earnings amounted to a $3.6 million (2013 -- earnings of $21.7 million) from mining and milling operations in Mexico. Excluding depreciation and depletion of $14.4 million (2013 -- $12.6 million), share-based compensation of $0.1 million (2013 -- $0.1 million) and write down of inventory of $0.5 million (2013 -- recovery of $2.7 million), mine operating cash flow before taxes was $11.5 million (2013 -- $31.8 million) in Q3, 2014. Net losses were $11.4 million (2013 -- earnings $12.3 million).

Cost cutting initiatives that commenced in Q2, 2013 have gained traction, however these initiatives were offset by lower throughput at the Bolañitos mine and the addition of the new Mexican special mining duty and environmental tax, resulting in a consolidated direct cost of $99 per tonne, 5% lower than the same period in 2013.

Cash costs, net of by-product credits (a non-IFRS measure and a standard of the Silver Institute), increased 108% to $10.70 per ounce of payable silver, compared to $5.14 per ounce in the same period of 2013 as lower gold grades and gold prices reduced the cost credit. Similarly all-in-sustaining costs per ounce (also a non-IFRS measure) rose 66% to $20.18 per ounce due lower gold credits compared to Q3, 2013. The Company has continued development initiatives to convert resources to reserves and continued its brownfields exploration programs to extend the lives of the operating mines.
