Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK) reported third-quarter 2026 silver production of 2,096,545 ounces and 10,126 gold ounces, for a combined silver equivalent total of 3.6 million ounces, according to a company press release. Silver production was 19% higher than the 1,766,926 ounces produced in Q3 2025, while gold output rose 39% from 7,285 ounces in the same period a year earlier.

Operations at the Terronera mine were suspended from August 12 to August 24 due to a blockade, reducing quarterly throughput to 165,171 tonnes from 175,729 tonnes in Q2 2026. Silver recovery at Terronera improved from 85.6% in July to 91.1% in September. At the GuanacevĂ­ mine, the mill was taken offline September 21 to replace the primary mill head and trunnion, lowering quarterly throughput to 89,722 tonnes. Repairs were expected to be completed in the first half of October.

The Kolpa mine increased throughput to 256,052 tonnes in Q3 2026 from 233,408 tonnes in Q2 2026, following a plant expansion completed at the end of Q1 2026. Kolpa produced 682,903 ounces of silver in the quarter.

Year-to-date silver production reached 5,915,874 ounces and 32,340 gold ounces, for a silver equivalent total of 10.4 million ounces. The company sold 1,900,368 silver ounces and 9,499 gold ounces during the quarter.

Due to the operational disruptions at Terronera and GuanacevĂ­, the company said full-year production is expected to be at or slightly below the low end of its guided range. An updated guidance statement is scheduled for release alongside third-quarter financial results on November 9, 2026.

The company also announced that Greg Blaylock, Vice President of Operations, is departing from his role.
