ENDEAVOUR MINING REPORTS Q3 GOLD PRODUCTION OF 125,000 OZ AND 380,000 OZ FOR 9 MONTHS

Endeavour Mining Corp. had gold production of 124,893 ounces during the third quarter of 2015 and nine-month production of 379,802 ounces. For the nine months, the Agbaou, Nzema and Youga mines are all ahead of the midpoint of their production guidance ranges. Nzema maintained its production levels despite a temporary drop in the grade of the purchased ore. The Tabakoto mine experienced several extreme rainfalls in the latter part of the quarter. This affected overall operation, in particular production from the North and South sections of the Tabakoto underground mine, reducing the grade of the material delivered to the mill and dropped production below targeted levels.

Neil Woodyer, chief executive officer, stated: "Group production from the mines continues to be at the high end of production guidance. AISC per ounce will be reported in the Q3 2015 financial results to be released in November, and it is expected that AISC will continue to be below our full-year $930-to-$980 guidance range."
