Frank Giustra has stepped down from the board of directors of Endeavour Mining Corp., effective July 30, 2016. Mr. Giustra has served as a director of Endeavour since September, 2013.

The board of directors thanks Mr. Giustra for his commitment and valuable contribution to Endeavour over the past three years and wishes him well.
