ABOUT ENDEAVOUR
Endeavour Mining
is a TSX listed intermediate African gold producer with a solid
track record of operational excellence, project development and
exploration in the highly prospective Birimian greenstone belt in
West Africa. Endeavour is focused on offering both near-term and
long-term growth opportunities with its project pipeline and its
exploration strategy, while generating immediate cash flow from its
operations.
Endeavour
operates 5 mines across Côte d'Ivoire (Agbaou and Ity), Burkina
Faso (Houndé, Karma), and Mali (Tabakoto). Endeavour's high-quality
development projects (recently commissioned Houndé, Ity CIL and
Kalana) have the combined potential to deliver an additional 600koz
per year at an AISC well below $700/oz between 2018 and 2020. In
addition, its exploration program aims to discover 10-15Moz of gold
by 2021 which represents more than twice the reserve depletion
during the period.
