EXK- This is from January stating the unaudited financial for 2009. If they look very similar to this then I believe EXK will see a nice jump. Also, hoping they give positive guidance for 2010.


Endeavour Silver Sets New Record for Mine Production in Q4, 2009, Silver Up 12% to 779,345 oz, Gold Up 90% to 4,591 oz
Delivers Fifth Consecutive Year of Production Growth in 2009, Silver Up 11% to 2.6 Million oz, Gold Up 66% to 13,298 oz

Press Release Source: Endeavour Silver Corp. On Wednesday January 13, 2010, 12:05 pm EST

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - 01/13/10) - Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX:EDR - News)(TSX:EDR.WT - News)(AMEX:EXK - News)(DBFrankfurt: EJD) announces that the Company set a new record for silver production in Q4, 2009, up 12% quarter-on-quarter to 779,345 oz silver. Gold production also jumped to a new quarterly high, up 90% to 4,591 oz gold in Q4, 2009.

Endeavour delivered its fifth consecutive year of silver production growth in 2009, up 11% year-on-year to 2.6 million oz silver. In addition, gold production rose even more sharply, up 66% to 13,298 oz gold in 2009 compared to 2008. Using the current silver:gold ratio of 62:1 (base metals not included as equivalents), Endeavour produced 3.4 million oz silver equivalents in 2009, up 21% compared to 2008.

These new Company highs for silver and gold production can largely be attributed to the successful expansion programs at the Company's two operating silver mines in Mexico, the Guanacevi Mine in Durango State and the Guanajuato Mine in Guanajuato State. Substantial organic growth potential remains to be realized at the two mines in order to reach their +4 million oz per year capacity.

Endeavour also enjoyed its best-ever unaudited quarterly and annual financial results in 2009 since the commencement of mining operations in 2004. Although the annual audited financial statements will not be ready until late March, based on production and sales results to December 31, 2009, management provides the following estimates of financial results for fiscal 2009: sales revenues will exceed US$50 million, costs of sales are expected to be less than US$31 million, Q4 cash costs should come in below the US$5.20 per oz recorded in Q3 and average around US$6 per oz silver for 2009.

Bradford Cooke, Chairman and CEO, commented, "We are happy to announce that Endeavour delivered its fifth consecutive year of production growth in 2009. We also succeeded in driving our cash costs of silver production down to almost half of where they were 18 months ago. Our mine operations teams are to be congratulated for doing a great job in 2009, notwithstanding the difficult start to the year thanks to the global financial crisis and various operating issues that resulted in several days of lost production."

"Management is of the belief that the silver price will continue to appreciate in 2010 so we plan to continue accelerating our exploration drilling, mine development and plant refurbishment programs this year in order to ensure continued aggressive production growth. We expect to achieve our 6th consecutive year of organic production growth this year as well as growth through acquisitions in 2010."

Endeavour plans to release an overview of its 2009 exploration activities including new drilling results within the next two weeks; a more detailed review of its 2009 mining operations and 2010 production forecast in February; the annual update of NI 43-101 reserves and resources by early March; and the 2009 audited financial results and outlook will be released in late March, 2010.

Endeavour Silver Corp. is a small-cap silver mining company focused on the growth of its silver production, reserves and resources in Mexico. Since start-up in 2004, Endeavour has posted five consecutive years of growing silver production and resources. The organic expansion programs now underway at Endeavour's two operating silver mines in Mexico combined with its strategic acquisition program should help propel Endeavour to become the next premier mid-tier primary silver producer.
