TSX: EDR | NYSE: EXK 33 Notes to Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Tables 33 1. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that any or all part of the Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. 2. The Inferred Mineral Resource in this estimate has a lower level of confidence than that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resource could be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource with continued exploration. 3. The Mineral Resources in this estimate were calculated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council. 4. Mineral Resources are exclusive of and in addition to Mineral Reserves. 5. Guanacevi Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve cut-off grades are based on a 249 g/t silver equivalent for Santa Cruz Sur of Guanacevi and 249 g/t silver equivalent for Santa Cruz, 249 g/t silver equivalent for Milache and 316 g/t silver equivalent for Ocampo and Porvenir Norte of Guanaceví; Metallurgical recoveries were 86.8% silver and 91.0% gold for Guanaceví. 6. The cutoff grade applied for resource calculation at the regional polymetallic projects at Guanacevi (Noche Buena and Buena Fe) is 202g/t silver equivalent. The silver equivalent is based on the calculated NSR for each element based on the following price assumptions US$16.29/oz for silver, US$1,195/oz for gold, US$0.82/lb for lead and US$0.90/lb for zinc. 7. Bolañitos Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve cut-off grades are based on 141 g/t silver equivalent for Belen, Karina and Puertecito, 141 g/t silver equivalent for La Luz Ramp, 142 g/t Silver equivalent for the Lucero Ramp and 141 g/t silver equivalent for San Miguel ramp area. Metallurgical recoveries were 86.2% silver and 90.2% gold for Bolañitos 8. Terronera mineral reserves are reported using a silver equivalency cut-off formula AgEq (g/t) = Ag (g/t) + (Au (g/t) x 78.9474). Cut-off grade varies between 156 g/t to 200 g/t AgEq depending on mining method. Metal prices used were $1,500/oz Au and $19.00/oz Ag. Metallurgical recovery of 84.9% for silver and 79.8% for gold, transport, treatment and refining charges of $0.75/oz Ag, and NSR royalties of 2.5%. Mineral Reserves are reported based on mining costs of $30.00/t for sub- level open stoping, $49.18/t for cut and fill, and $48.00/t for shrinkage mining, and $28.46/t for process costs, and $8.49/t for G&A costs. 9. Terronera mineral resources are constrained within a wireframe constructed at a nominal 150 g/t AuEq cut-off grade. A 150 g/t AgEq cut-off grade considers Wood’s guidance on industry consensus for long term silver and gold prices for Mineral Resource estimation, metallurgical performance, mining, processing, and site G&A operating costs, treatment and refining charges, and royalties. Mineral Resources are stated as in-situ with no consideration for planned or unplanned external mining dilution. The silver and gold ounces estimates presented in the Mineral Resource estimate table have not been adjusted for metallurgical recoveries. 10. Parral Mineral Resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 130 g/t AgEq for Palmilla, Veta Colorada, and San Patricio, 200 g/t Ag for Sierra Plata, and an NSR cut-off value of US$55/t for El Cometa. The NSR and AgEq values are based on estimated metallurgical recoveries, assumed metal prices and smelter terms, which include payable factors, treatment charges, penalties, and refining charges. Metal price assumptions were: US$17/oz Ag, US$1,275/oz Au, US$1.15/lb Zn, and US$1.00/lb Pb. A minimum mining width of 1.5 m was used for Sierra Plata, and 1.75 m for all other veins. 11. Mining recovery of 89% was applied for Guanaceví; 89.5% to 93.5% for Bolañitos, and 90% (cut and fill), 95% (longhole), 80% (shrinkage) for Terronera for Mineral Reserve Estimate calculations. Minimum mining widths were 0.8 metres for Mineral Reserve Estimate calculations. 12. Dilution factors for Mineral Reserve Estimate calculations averaged 35.5% for Guanaceví, 37.3% for Bolañitos, and 20% for Terronera. For current operations dilution factors are based on vein width diluted to width of drive for lateral sill preparation (generally >30%) and internal stope dilution calculations and external dilution factors of 24% for cut and fill mining and 40% for long hole mining. 13. Silver equivalent grades are based on a 80:1 silver:gold ratio and calculated including only silver and gold. Silver equivalent grades for Terronera are based on a 78:9474 silver:gold ratio and calculated including only silver and gold. 14. Indicated and Inferred Silver-Gold Mineral Resources for "Parral" includes the Colorada, Palmilla and San Patricio areas. 15. The Veta Colorada structure (Parral) does not contain gold on an economic scale. 16. Price assumptions for Guanaceví and Bolañitos, are US$26/oz for silver, US$2,200/oz for gold. 17. Figures in tables are rounded to reflect estimate precision; small differences generated by rounding are not material to the estimates.

TSX: EDR | NYSE: EXK 3434 Notes to Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Tables (continued) Notes on the Pitarrilla Resource Estimate 18. The classification of the current Mineral Resource Estimate into Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources is consistent with current 2014 CIM Definition Standards - For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. 19. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate and numbers may not add due to rounding. 20. All Mineral Resources are presented undiluted and in situ, constrained by continuous 3D wireframe models, and are considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. 21. Mineral Resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. 22. It is envisioned that parts of the Pitarrilla deposit (oxide and transition mineralization) may be mined using open pit mining methods. In-pit mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 50 g/t AgEq within a conceptual pit shell, which has been limited to the base of the transition mineralization. 23. The results from the pit optimization are used solely for the purpose of testing the “reasonable prospects for economic extraction” by an open pit and do not represent an attempt to estimate mineral reserves. There are no mineral reserves on the Property. The results are used as a guide to assist in the preparation of a Mineral Resource statement and to select an appropriate resource reporting cut-off grade. 24. It is envisioned that parts of the Pitarrilla deposit (sulphide mineralization) may be mined using underground mining methods. Underground (below-pit) Mineral Resources are estimated from the bottom of the pit (base of transition mineralization) and are reported at a base case cut-off grade of 150 g/t AgEq. The underground Mineral Resource grade blocks were quantified above the base case cut-off grade, below the constraining pit shell and within the constraining mineralized wireframes. At this base case cut-off grade the deposit shows good deposit continuity with limited orphaned blocks. Any orphaned blocks are connected within the models by lower grade blocks and are included in the Mineral Resource estimate. 25. Based on the size, shape, location and orientation of the Pitarrilla deposit, it is envisioned that the deposit may be mined using low cost underground bulk mining methods (i.e. longhole mining). 26. High grade capping of Ag, Pb and Zn was done on 1.50 metre composite data. 27. Bulk density values were determined based on physical test work from each deposit model and waste model. 28. AgEq Cut-off grades consider metal prices of $22.00/oz Ag, $1.00/lb Pb and $1.30/lb Zn and considers variable metal recoveries for Ag, Pb and Zn: oxide and transition mineralization - 75% for silver, 70% for Pb and 65% for Zn; sulphide mineralization - 86% for silver, 91% for Pb and 85% for Zn. 29. The pit optimization and in-pit base case cut-off grade of 50 g/t AgEq considers a mining cost of US$2.50/t rock and processing, treatment and refining, transportation and G&A cost of US$22.40/t mineralized material, an overall pit slope of 42° for oxide and 48° for transition and metal recoveries. The below-pit base case cut-off grade of 150 g/t AgEq considers a mining cost of US$46.50/t rock and processing, treatment and refining, transportation and G&A cost of US$30.90/t mineralized material. 30. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. 31. The database used for the current mineral resource estimate comprises data for 804 surface reverse circulation and diamond drill holes completed in the deposit area, which total 254,386 metres. The database totals 134,441 assay intervals for 188,816 metres. 32. The mineral resource estimate is based on 19 three-dimensional (“3D”) resource models representing oxide, transition and sulphide mineralization, as well as 9 lithological 3D solids and a digital elevation surface model. The main Pitarrilla deposit generally strikes 330° to 335° and dips/plunges steeply east-northeast (-60° to -65°). The oxide mineralization in the Cordon Colorado and Javelina Creek Zones extend for 700 to 900 metres southwest and northeast of the main Breccia Ridge Zone. 33. Silver, lead and zinc were estimated for each mineralization domain in the Pitarrilla deposit. Blocks within each mineralized domain were interpolated using 1.5 metres capped composites assigned to that domain. To generate grade within the blocks, the inverse distance squared (ID 2 ) interpolation method was used for all domains.

Structural steel Contributed an additional $8 million; steel prices have increased due to significant demand within the region. Also, additional tonnage is required for design changes made during detail engineering. Tailings Storage Facility Contributed an additional $5.5 million; following final geotechnical site investigation studies, modifications were required for local conditions and to meet seismic load requirements. Mine Development Contributed an additional $13.9 million on mine development, equipment, and infrastructure expenditures through commissioning. Much of the additional cost is for mobile equipment at both the Terronera and La Luz mines. Tradeoff evaluations show considerable savings through self - performed development and production, compared to escalating contractor mining prices.

TSE: EDR | NYSE: EXK Non-IFRS Measures 38 Endeavour Silver reports non -IFRS measures which include cash costs net of by -product revenue on a payable silver basis, total p roduction costs per ounce, all -in sustaining costs per ounce, direct production costs per tonne , silver co -product cash costs and gold co -product cash costs in order to manage and evaluate operating performance at each of t he Company’s mines. These measures, some established by the Silver Institute (Production Cost Standards, June 2011), are widely used in th e s ilver mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have a standardized meaning and are reported on a production basis. Full reconciliation and definitions of each of these measures are provided in the Company’s quarterly Management Discussion a nd Analysis (MD&A) as filed on SEDAR and posted on the company website. Cash costs (“Cash costs”) per ounce - Cash costs per ounce is a non -IFRS measure. In the silver mining industry, this metric is a common performance measure that d oes not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. Cash costs include direct costs (including smelting, refining, transportation and selling c ost s), royalties and special mining duty and changes in finished goods inventory net of gold credits. For the purpose of the FS, special mining duty has not been included in cash costs but is included in tax expense. Mine Site - All -in sustaining costs (“MAISC”) and All -in sustaining cost(“AISC”) per ounce - MAISC and AISC per ounce are non - IFRS measures. These measures are intended to assist readers in evaluating the total cost of producing silver from operations. While here is no standardized meaning acros s t he industry for AISC measures, the Company’s definition conforms to the definition of AISC as set out by the World Gold Council and used as a standard of the Silver Institute. The Com pany defines AISC as the cash operating costs (as defined above), reclamation cost accretion, mine site expensed exploration, corporate general and administration costs and sustaining capital expenditures. For the purpose of the FS, MAISC does not include corporate general and administration costs. Free cash flow - In the mining industry, free cash flow is a common performance measure with no standardized meaning. The Company calculates fre e cash flow by deducting cash capital spending (capital expenditures, net of expenditures paid through finance leases) from net cash provided by operating activiti es. The Company discloses free cash flow as it believes the measure provides valuable assistance to inventors and analysts in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate cash flow afte r c apital investments and build the cash resources of the Company. Initial and sustaining capital - Initial and sustaining capital are non -IFRS measures. Initial capital is defined as capital required to develop and construct t o bring the mine to commercial production and sustaining capital is defined as the capital required to maintain operations at existing levels. Both measure men ts are used by management to assess the effectiveness of an investment program.
