Endeavour Silver

In the world of mining, it’s often about buying, not building. But for Endeavour Silver, the story is a bit different. In 2003, professional geologist Bradford Cooke founded the company, joined by Godfrey Walton. Their strategy was clear: acquire and revive high-grade silver-gold projects in Mexico. They weren't just looking for land; they were looking for legacy mines that had been overlooked. The company’s journey began in earnest in 2004 with the acquisition of its first mine, Guanaceví, in Durango, Mexico. This marked their transition from an exploration company to a producing miner. Shortly after, Endeavour went public, listing on the TSX Venture Exchange in 2004 and later on the New York Stock Exchange in 2007, which expanded its access to investors. This playbook of acquiring and developing continued with the Bolañitos mine in 2007 and the El Cubo mine in 2012. A key part of the Endeavour narrative is its focus on organic growth through exploration. The company didn't just operate existing mines; it actively explored to extend their life and discover new resources. This led to significant finds, like the Terronera project, which is poised to become a cornerstone asset for the company. Today, Endeavour Silver operates multiple mines in Mexico and is advancing several development projects, solidifying its role as a mid-tier silver producer with a strategy centered on growth and operational efficiency in a historically rich mining jurisdiction.
