Endeavour Silver Continues to Confirm High-Grade Structures During its 2024/2025 Drill Program at Pitarrilla
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endeavour Silver Corp. ('Endeavour' or the 'Company') (NYSE: EXK; TSX: EDR) is pleased to report positive drill results from its exploration program at its 100% owned Pitarrilla project in Durango, Mexico. The focus of the drill program is to further define the geometry of multiple, sub-vertical, mineralized feeder structures and the mineralized manto that was initially outlined by historical drilling. Drilling from surface and underground has been successful in intersecting high-grade silver, zinc and lead mineralization and provides additional confidence required to upgrade existing mineral resources. Highlighted Drill Results from Casas Blancas Vein Highlighted Drill Results from Danna Vein Highlighted Drill Results from Victoria Vein Highlighted Drill Results from Manto Pitarrilla Abbreviations include: gpt: grams per tonne; Ag: silver; Pb: lead; Zn: zinc; ETW: estimated true width; m: metre. Silver equivalents are calculated using prices of $26/oz for silver, $1.00/lb for lead and $1.35/lb for zinc. Variable amounts of gold and copper occur but have not been included in the AgEq calculation. Drilling Context The simplified geology of the Pitarrilla deposit includes three mineralized domains (Figure 5). In addition, at least four sulphide mineralized veins (Casas Blancas, Victoria, Danna, and Palmito) and two sulphide mineralized dykes (Cuchara and Pena) have been identified. Drilling has confirmed that all structures originate below the marine sediments, extend through Manto Pitarrilla, and into the upper volcanics. These feeder structures remain open at depth. Between September 2024 and April 2025, an additional 31 drill holes totaling 11,200 metres have been completed. 4,360 metres from 12 holes collared from surface and 6,839 metres from 19 holes from underground drill stations. The Danna vein returned the widest mineralized interval with results up to 7.4 metres in estimated true width from hole BPU-019, while two of three holes that intersected Casas Blancas returned economic grades over 4.0 metres in estimated true width (BPD-501 and BPD-506). Drill hole BPU-022 was drilled at a low angle (-22.5 degrees) through the horizontal lying Manto Pitarrilla and returned 247 m (apparent width) of 254 gpt AgEq (see figure 5). Due to the irregular geometry of the Manto Pitarrilla, true width is variable, however drill data estimates the dimensions to be approximately 400 metres wide and up to 100 metres high in some parts.

Cross Section – Manto Pitarrilla Since acquiring the Pitarrilla Project in July 2022, Endeavour has undertaken an extensive re-logging of historical drill core to enhance its understanding of the deposit's geology and mineralization controls. The Company has prioritized the identification and delineation of multiple high-grade feeder structures, which are believed to be the primary conduits for the silver, lead, and zinc sulphide mineralization. These structures are interpreted to extend into the high-grade manto, initially outlined by the previous owner. A Technical Report supporting updated Mineral Resource Estimates was published on November 21, 2022 ( refer to news release dated December 8, 2022 ). Pitarrilla is a large undeveloped silver, lead, and zinc project located 160 kilometres north of Durango City, in northern Mexico. The project is within the Municipality of Santa María del Oro and Indé on the eastern flank of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range. The property comprises 4,752 hectares across five concessions and has significant infrastructure in place with direct access to utilities. A significant resource has been defined with over 240,000 metres of exploration drilling incurred to date. A number of key permits are already in place for underground mining and development, including permits for water use and discharge, general use of explosives, change use of soil, as well as underground mining and development which are permitted under an Environmental Impact Statement. About Endeavour Silver Endeavour is a mid-tier precious metals company with a strong commitment to sustainable and responsible mining practices. With operations in Mexico and Peru, and the development of the new cornerstone mine in Jalisco state, the company aims to contribute positively to the mining industry and the communities in which it operates. In addition, Endeavour has a portfolio of exploration projects in Mexico, Chile and the United States to facilitate its goal to become a premier senior silver producer. Quality Assurance / Quality Control Drill core samples were shipped to ALS Limited in Zacatecas, Mexico for sample preparation and then for analysis at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver and rock samples were shipped to SGS Lab in Durango, Mexico for sample preparation and analysis. The ALS Zacatecas, North Vancouver facilities and SGS lab are ISO 9001 and/or ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Silver and base metals were analyzed using a four-acid digestion with an ICP-AES / ICP-OES finish and gold was assayed by 30-gram fire assay with atomic absorption ('AA') spectroscopy finish. Over limit analyses for silver were re-assayed by 30-gram fire assay and gravimetric finish and for lead and zinc re-assayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with ICP-AES / ICP-OES finish. Control samples comprising certified reference samples, duplicates and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company's quality assurance / quality control protocol.

First Majestic Announces Financial Results for Q1 2025 with Record Cash Position and Announces Quarterly Dividend Payment
First Quarter Dividend: The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.0045 per common share for the first quarter of 2025 for shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 16, 2025, to be paid out on or about May 30, 2025 ( Note: Under the Company's dividend policy, the quarterly dividend per common share is targeted to equal approximately 1% of the Company's net quarterly revenues divided by the Company's then outstanding common shares. In the case of net revenues generated from the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine (the Company holds a 70% interest in the Los Gatos Joint Venture that owns and operates the mine), 70% of the net revenue from such mine, being the revenue that is attributable to the Company, is used for the purposes of the Company's quarterly dividend calculation.) Purchased Common Shares: The Company purchased and cancelled an aggregate of 262,500 common shares at an average price of CAD$8.20 per share through the facilities of the TSX pursuant to its normal course issuer bid during the three months ended March 31, 2025. In April, the Company further purchased and cancelled an additional 331,000 common shares under its normal course issuer bid at an average price of CAD$8.00 per share. Completed Final Springpole Stream Payment: At the end of the quarter, the Company paid $5 million in cash to First Mining Gold Corp. ("First Mining"), representing the final payment due by the Company to First Mining in connection with the silver stream that the Company has over First Mining's Springpole gold project located in Ontario, Canada. In consideration of accelerating the timing of this final payment and making the final payment in cash (as opposed to a combination of cash and shares, as originally required under the agreement governing the stream), First Mining agreed to extend the Company's original warrants that were granted to the Company on July 20, 2020 to March 31, 2028, and to amend the exercise price of the warrants to CAD$0.20. Improved All-In Sustaining Cost ("AISC") (-11% Y/Y): Consolidated AISC in the first quarter was $19.24 per AgEq ounce, representing an 11% improvement from $21.53 per AgEq ounce in the first quarter of 2024, and 7% below the mid-point of 2025 cost guidance. Reduced Cash Costs (-9% Y/Y): Consolidated cash costs of $13.68 per AgEq ounce for the quarter represented a 9% reduction from $15.00 per AgEq ounce in the first quarter of 2024, and 6% below the mid-point of the Company's 2025 cost guidance. Net Earnings (+$19.8 million Y/Y): Net earnings for the quarter were $6.2 million (EPS of $0.01) compared to a net loss of $13.6 million (EPS of ($0.05)) in the first quarter of 2024, representing a 146% increase year-over-year. Adjusted net earnings, normalized for non-cash or non-recurring items such as share-based payments, unrealized losses on marketable securities, acquisition costs and deferred income tax, were $20.9 million (EPS of $0.05) compared to an adjusted net loss of $18.4 million (EPS of ($0.06)) in the first quarter of 2024. Strong Free Cash Flow (+$42.6 million Y/Y): Free cash flow for the quarter totaled $43.5 million after paying $28.0 million in cash income taxes mainly related to the strong performance of Santa Elena in 2024 and unfavorable working capital adjustment of $26.5 million. This represented a significant increase compared to $0.9 million of free cash flow in the first quarter of 2024. Record Cash Flow from Operations (+$97.4 million Y/Y): Operating cash flow before changes in working capital and taxes in the quarter was a record $110.0 million, representing a significant increase compared to $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. Record Mine Operating Earnings (+$64.1 million Y/Y): The Company achieved record quarterly mine operating earnings of $63.8 million, representing a significant increase compared to a mine operating loss of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a 64% increase in payable AgEq ounces sold, including 74 days of production from Cerro Los Gatos, as well as a 37% increase in the average realized silver price, which was $32.50 per ounce during the quarter. Held Inventory: The Company held 620,043 silver ounces in finished goods inventory as at March 31, 2025, inclusive of coins and bullion. The fair value of this inventory as at March 31, 2025 was $21.1 million, which was not included in revenue during the first quarter. Record Quarterly Revenue (+130% Y/Y): The Company generated record quarterly revenue of $243.9 million in the first quarter (57% from silver sales), representing a 130% increase compared to $106.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. Record Silver Production (+88% Y/Y): The Company produced 7.7 million silver equivalent ("AgEq") ounces in Q1 2025 representing 26% of the mid-point of the Company's 2025 production guidance, including a quarterly silver production record of 3.7 million silver ounces, an 88% increase when compared to 2.0 million silver ounces produced in Q1 2024. Gold production also increased by 1% to 36,469 ounces. Record Cash Position: The Company ended the quarter with the highest cash and restricted cash balance in its history of $462.6 million consisting of $351.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $111.3 million in restricted cash. The Company's liquidity position has further improved to a record $544.4 million, consisting of $404.8 million of working capital and $139.6 million of undrawn revolving credit facility, and excluding $111.3 million held in restricted cash. "Our robust production for Q1 has yielded strong financial performance for the quarter," said Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO. "We have hit multiple record financial metrics including a record $110 million in cash flow from operations and the highest treasury balance in the Company's 21+ year history, our balance sheet has never been stronger, and we are on track to have a stellar year. Our focus remains to deliver on our commitments in producing safe and profitable ounces." Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2025) - First Majestic Silver Corp.

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS The Company generated record quarterly revenue of $243.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 with 57% derived from silver sales, a 130% increase compared to $106.0 million of revenue generated in the same period in the prior year. This was primarily attributable to a 64% increase in payable AgEq ounces sold, driven by the addition of the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine to the Company's portfolio of producing mines in Mexico on January 16, 2025, which contributed $90.5 million in revenue, along with improved production at San Dimas, which contributed $60.0 million in revenue. Further, the average realized silver price increased to $32.50 per ounce, representing a 37% increase compared to the first quarter of 2024. At the end of the quarter, the Company reported the highest cash and restricted cash balance in its history of $462.6 million consisting of $351.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $111.3 million in restricted cash. This represents an increase of 50% compared to $308.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 consisting of $202.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $106.1 million in restricted cash. Additionally, working capital reached a record high of $404.8 million, representing an 80% increase compared to $224.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Mine operating earnings for the quarter increased significantly to a record $63.8 million compared to a loss of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in mine operating earnings was primarily attributed to the addition of the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine, which has contributed $27.6 million in mine operating earnings since the Company acquired the mine on January 16, 2025. Additionally, the strong performance at San Dimas and Santa Elena increased mine operating earnings by an additional $14.7 million and $13.9 million, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2024. Operating cash flow before changes in working capital and taxes in the quarter was a record $110.0 million, representing a significant increase compared to $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. This was primarily driven by a $64.1 million increase in mine operating earnings compared to the first quarter of 2024, resulting from the addition of the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine as well as strong performances at San Dimas and Santa Elena. EBITDA for the quarter was a record $98.8 million, representing a significant increase compared to $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in EBITDA was primarily attributable to an increase in mine operating earnings. Adjusted EBITDA normalized for non-cash or non-recurring items such as share-based payments, unrealized losses on marketable securities and acquisition costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $109.7 million, representing a significant increase compared to $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. The Company reported net earnings for the quarter of $6.2 million (EPS of $0.01) compared to a net loss of $13.6 million (EPS of ($0.05)) in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net earnings was primarily attributed to the higher mine operating earnings compared to the first quarter of 2024. This was partially offset by a non-cash depletion expense of $62.4 million (EPS of (0.16)), compared to $25.8 million (EPS of (0.09)) in the first quarter of 2024, a non-cash deferred income tax expense of $7.7 million (EPS of ($0.02)), compared to a non-cash deferred income tax recovery of $10.8 million (EPS $0.04) in the first quarter of 2024, as well as $5.6 million (EPS of (0.01)) in acquisition costs incurred as a result of the Company's acquisition of Gatos Silver, Inc. On January 16, 2025. Adjusted net earnings normalized for non-cash or non-recurring items such as share-based payments, unrealized losses on marketable securities, acquisition costs and deferred income tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $20.9 million (adjusted EPS of $0.05), representing a 213% increase compared to adjusted net loss of $18.4 million (adjusted EPS of ($0.06)) in the first quarter of 2024. The Company's total capital expenditures in the first quarter were $51.0 million, representing an 81% increase compared to $28.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, as capital expenditures at Cerro Los Gatos were included for the first time. Total capital expenditures mainly consisted of $23.1 million for underground development (2024 - $13.3 million), $15.5 million in exploration (2024 - $9.9 million), and $8.2 million in property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") (2024 - $5.0 million). FIRST QUARTER OPERATIONAL RESULTS The table below represents the quarterly operating and cost performance results at each of the Company's four producing mines during the quarter.

All production and non-GAAP results shown in the table above are reported on an attributable basis to account for the Company's 70% ownership of the Cerro Los Gatos mine through its joint venture ownership of the mine. (2) The metal prices that were used to calculate the silver equivalent ounces were, silver: $31.91/oz, gold: $2,862/oz, lead: $0.89/lb., zinc: $1.29/lb. (3) Attributable silver equivalent ounces for Cerro Los Gatos includes 12,492,869 lbs. zinc and 7,487,065 lbs. lead (70%). The Company produced 7.7 million attributable AgEq ounces in Q1 2025 representing a 49% increase when compared to 5.2 million AgEq ounces produced in Q1 2024. Furthermore, the Company reported record quarterly silver production of 3.7 million silver ounces representing an 88% increase when compared to 2.0 million silver ounces produced in Q1 2024. Total silver production in the quarter included 1.4 million ounces of attributable silver production from Cerro Los Gatos as well as a notable 17% (0.2 million ounce) increase at San Dimas primarily due to operational improvements. Consolidated cash cost per AgEq ounce for the quarter was $13.68, representing a 9% improvement compared to $15.00 per ounce in Q1 2024, and 6% below the mid-point of the Company's 2025 cost guidance. The decrease in cash costs was primarily due to an increase in attributable production of 2.5 million AgEq ounces during the quarter following the acquisition of Cerro Los Gatos on January 16, 2025 along with an 11% increase in AgEq production at San Dimas as a result of operational efficiencies and an increase in mine and plant throughput rates. Overall, cost efficiency initiatives, along with the weakening Mexico peso relative to the US dollar, which averaged 20% lower compared to the first quarter of 2024, contributed to further reductions in operating and administrative costs per AgEq ounce compared to the first quarter of 2024. Consolidated AISC per AgEq ounce in the first quarter was $19.24, representing an 11% improvement compared to $21.53 per AgEq ounce in Q1 2024, and 7% below the mid-point of 2025 cost guidance. The decreased AISC was primarily attributable to lower cash costs, along with a 51% decrease in sustaining development costs per AgEq ounce compared to the first quarter of 2024. This was partially offset by a 24% increase in sustaining PP&E investment compared to the first quarter of 2024. Q1 2025 DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT The Company is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.0045 per common share for the first quarter of 2025. The dividend will be paid to holders of record of First Majestic's common shares as of the close of business on May 16, 2025, and will be paid out on or about May 30, 2025. Under the Company's dividend policy, the quarterly dividend per common share is targeted to equal approximately 1% of the Company's net quarterly revenues divided by the Company's then outstanding common shares. Note: In the case of net revenues generated from the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine (the Company holds a 70% interest in the Los Gatos Joint Venture that owns and operates the mine), 70% of the net revenue from such mine, being the revenue that is attributable to the Company, is used for the purposes of the Company's quarterly dividend calculation. The amount and distribution dates of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors. This dividend qualifies as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes. Dividends paid to shareholders outside Canada (non-resident investors) may be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding taxes.

Statements concerning proven and probable mineral reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward- looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered as and if the property is developed, and in the case of measured and indicated mineral resources or proven and probable mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "forecast", "potential", "target", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements". Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to materially differ from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the duration and effects of the coronavirus and COVID-19, and any other pandemics on our operations and workforce, and the effects on global economies and society; general economic conditions including inflation risks; actual results of exploration activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; commodity prices; variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; actual performance of plant, equipment or processes relative to specifications and expectations; accidents; labour relations; relations with local communities; changes in national or local governments; changes in applicable legislation or application thereof; delays in obtaining approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; exchange rate fluctuations; requirements for additional capital; government regulation; environmental risks; reclamation expenses; outcomes of pending litigation; limitations on insurance coverage as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Description of the Business - Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR at Although First Majestic has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included herein should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws. ________________________ 1 The Company reports certain non-GAAP measures which include EBITDA.
