Globenewswire· 2026-01-16 11:50
Core Viewpoint - Endeavour Silver Corp. has announced its consolidated production and cost guidance for 2026, highlighting a significant ramp-up in production from its Terronera, Guanaceví, and Kolpa mines, alongside planned capital and exploration expenditures [1][5]. Production and Cost Guidance - Silver production is projected to be between 8.3 and 8.9 million ounces, with gold output expected to range from 46,000 to 48,000 ounces. The Kolpa mine is anticipated to produce 22,000 to 24,000 tonnes of lead, 16,000 to 18,000 tonnes of zinc, and 650 to 750 tonnes of copper, contributing to a total of 14.6 to 15.6 million silver equivalent ounces [2][3]. - Consolidated cash costs for 2026 are estimated to be between $12.00 and $13.00 per payable silver ounce, while all-in sustaining costs (AISC) are projected at $27.00 to $28.00 per ounce, net of by-product credits [4][15]. Mine-Specific Details - At Terronera, throughput is expected to be 1,950 to 2,050 tonnes per day, with cash costs and AISC anticipated to be below company-wide averages due to higher production and improved efficiencies [7]. - Guanaceví's throughput is projected at 1,000 to 1,100 tonnes per day, with slightly lower grades expected, leading to a slight increase in cash costs and AISC compared to 2025 [8]. - Kolpa is forecasted to achieve throughput of 2,300 to 2,500 tonnes per day, with improvements in cash costs and AISC due to higher production and stronger base metal prices [9]. Capital Expenditures - The company plans to invest $91.0 million in sustaining capital across its mines, with significant allocations for mine development and infrastructure enhancements at Terronera and Guanaceví [21][22]. - At Kolpa, $26.5 million will be invested, including $16.7 million for growth capital to support a plant expansion aimed at increasing capacity [23]. Exploration Plans - Endeavour plans to allocate $25.9 million for exploration activities across various projects, including significant drilling programs at Terronera, Guanaceví, and Kolpa [26][27].
