VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endeavour Silver Corp. (“Endeavour& or the “Company&) (NYSE: EXK; TSX: EDR) has identified a mechanical issue affecting the primary ball mill at its Guanacevi Mine.
The mill has been taken offline as of September 21, while preparations are completed to replace the mill head and trunnion, both of which are available on site. The Company expects the repairs to be completed within approximately three weeks and is coordinating with third-party service providers to expedite the replacement.
During the repair period, the regrind circuit will be configured to operate at a reduced throughput of 600 tonnes per day (tpd), compared to ordinary course capacity of approximately 1,100 tpd.
Mining operations will continue uninterrupted. The cost of replacing the affected components is expected to be minimal, as the necessary parts are already in inventory on site.
