Message to Shareholders from Daniel Dickson, Newly Appointed Chief Executive Officer of Endeavour Silver Corp.

13.05.2021  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, May 13, 2021 - Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX: EDR, NYSE: EXK) is pleased to share the following letter to shareholders from newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Dickson.

Dear Shareholders:

For almost 20 years, Endeavour Silver has created new opportunities and navigated challenges with innovative thinking, which has transformed us into the company we are today. As I assume the role of Chief Executive Officer, I am keen to build on these strengths while focusing on continued profitability, safety performance and fostering our internal culture aligned with increasingly important ESG principles.

Digging deeper in solid ground

Looking back upon our company's journey - to which I have proudly contributed since 2007 when I first joined as Endeavour's Controller, then CFO - there is much to admire. Our perseverance and accomplishments have shone through, as we introduced many 'firsts' at our Guanacev? mine, followed by our acquisition of Bola?itos in 2007 and El Cubo in 2012. We became one of the fastest growing silver producers during the 2004-2012 precious metals bull market.

Through new discoveries, organic growth and strategic acquisitions, we expanded our business. Terronera is our next flagship asset that will strengthen our foundation and fuel our long-term growth. We plan to complete the feasibility study this summer, which should lead to a development decision for what should become our largest and lowest cost mine. Next steps for Q3, 2021 are to announce accretive project financing and break ground on construction. Simultaneously, we are drilling at our portfolio of exploration projects in Mexico and Chile to generate long term value through high impact discoveries.

Strong values drive us forward

Although 2020 was a year of global uncertainty, it also reaffirmed the strength of Endeavour's well-established values. Under the direction of our founders, Brad Cooke and Godfrey Walton, we have always upheld ESG as core to our business. We developed trusted relationships with local stakeholders, and designed health, educational and environmental outreach programs to benefit our shared environment and local communities.

The COVID-19 pandemic illustrated the importance of this approach, as we worked to support community resilience and prioritize the health of our employees and communities. Despite challenging conditions, we fortified our commitment to these priorities by implementing the "Te Cuido/I Take Care of You" safety training program and achieved our safety performance targets last year. We also introduced our ICARE Values program, to clearly articulate the company's underlying culture and bring to life "The Endeavour Way" to current and future team-members.

Delivering on profitability

The past year also highlighted our ability to meet scrutiny through the financial lens. In a period of transformation, we completed the transition from old mines to new mines and recorded profitability for the first time in two years. This is a testament to our operations group's ability to meet and surmount the most difficult challenges. Now, with a current USD$1 billion market capitalization, a strengthened balance sheet, and with results from operations growing our cash balance, we are poised for future growth. Inflationary pressures on costs are inevitable, but we believe the culture we've established will contribute to innovative solutions to optimize our cash flows going forward.

Bright future for Endeavour Silver

When one combines Endeavour's strengths with current market conditions, our future is bright. With a global scarcity of silver dominant assets, Endeavour offers a significant competitive advantage with our industry-leading beta to silver price and with 60 per cent of our anticipated 2021 revenue mix attributable to silver. As we grow, we will maintain our majority silver profile. as the metals mix at Terronera is 60% silver and Parral is almost 100% silver. Recent M&A activity in our sector confirms the difficulty in finding pure silver investment vehicles, amidst a bullish global backdrop due to negative interest rates, inflation concerns and sovereign debt. And, with silver's role as a 'green metal,' as the world transitions to lower carbon technologies, we anticipate continued positive investor demand for silver that exceeds global mine supply. These factors all bode well, for both the price of silver and for Endeavour shareholders.

Beyond the numbers, I want to acknowledge the essential role played by former CEO Bradford Cooke, now Executive Chair, my long-time friend and mentor, who led our organization to the enviable place we are today. Brad has demonstrated outstanding vision and passion, which inspired our shared drive for Endeavour's success. I look forward to Brad's guidance as Executive Chair, together with the continuous support of our exceptional leadership team. Of particular note is Christine West, who assumes my position as CFO after skillfully supporting our company since 2008. She is an invaluable member of the management team, who brings experience and perspective to our finance and accounting functions.

Today, I am honoured to contribute my experience in overseeing Endeavour's finances, and begin steering the company forward, focused on safe production, profitable operations and a strong culture. With our favourable outlook for silver's fundamentals, I believe that the patience of our investors will be rewarded, and I look forward to building a strong future together in the years ahead.

Sincerely,

Daniel (Dan) Dickson,

Chief Executive Officer
