Greater Potential for Bolañitos Mine

Endeavour Silver announced the results of its 2021 exploration drill program, which intersected high-grade gold silver mineralization at its Bolañitos mine in Guanajuato. The company reported that due to its positive results 2021 will be a better year for Endeavour and its Mexican assets.

The company acquired its Bolanitos mine in 2007 and is considered the second largest history silver mining district in Mexico. The company is currently producing at Bolañitos from four orebodies: Plateros, Lucero, San Miguel and Melladito. Meanwhile, its exploration drilling is mainly concentrated in the Melladito and Belen veins.

The company´s drill program reported “8.09 gpt  gold and 1,044 gpt silver for 1,611 gpt silver equivalent over a 1m true width in drill hole BN-64 on the Melladito HW vein and 4.43 gpt gold and 148 gpt silver for 458 gpt AgEq over a 2.34 m true width in drill hole BL1.5S-4 on the Belen HW vein.”

Luis Castro, Vice President of Exploration, said the company expects to continue to have strong drilling results as it continues to go beyond the current margins of the Melladito and Belen fields, as well as finding new targets to drill along its veins.
