======================================================================= Endeavour Silver Reports Production Results for Third Quarter, 2009; Produces 661,903 oz Silver (Up 6%) and 3,604 oz Gold (Up 46%) Compared to Q3, 2008; ======================================================================= Vancouver, BC, Canada -- October 19, 2009 - Endeavour Silver Corp. ("Endeavour" or the "Company") (EXK: NYSE-Amex, EJD: DB-Frankfurt, EDR.WT: TSX, EDR: TSX) announced today that silver production for the Third Quarter, 2009 from the Companys two operating silver mines in Mexico, the Guanacevi Mine in Durango State and the Guanajuato Mine in Guanajuato State, totalled 661,903 ounces (oz) silver, up 6% compared to Q3, 2008. Gold production also rose in the Third Quarter, 2009, up 46% to 3,604 oz compared to Q3, 2008, resulting in silver-equivalent production rising 14% to 878,143 oz compared to Q3, 2008 (assuming a 60:1 silver:gold ratio - base metals not included as silver-equivalents). The Q3, 2009 production data is outlined in the table below:
Bradford Cooke, Chairman and CEO, stated, "Endeavour posted another strong quarter of production growth in Q3, 2009.

With tonnage throughput, ore grades and metal recoveries all continuing to improve at both Guanacevi and Guanajuato, we foresee another record quarter for production in Q4, 2009." Endeavour forecasts its silver production will climb sharply in the Fourth Quarter of 2009 as this years capital expansion programs are now largely completed.

Silver production is on schedule for the year even though there was a one week shut-down by Presidential decree in May due to the H1N1 virus, and several unexpected outages on the local power grid at Guanacevi, management anticipates mine outperformance in Q4 should allow the Company to meet its annual production target barring any further unforeseen circumstances.

Production at Guanacevi comes primarily from the North Porvenir Mine, although Porvenir Dos production continues to grow as the ramp advances and new levels are accessed.

At Guanajuato, the Lucero vein continues to contribute 60% of the production with the balance coming from Cebada and Bolanitos. Recent development on the Bolanitos vein in Guanajuato has outlined a zone that is 55 meters along strike averaging 3.68 meters wide grading 219 g/t Ag and 4.25 g/t Au (Silver equivalent is 474 g/t Ag eq.

or 15.25 oz/T Ag eq.).

This development is accessing an area outlined during the 2008 exploration drilling program.

The drill hole intercepts indicate that the zone will continue for another 50 meters, although the zone is still open along strike and down dip.

Recent developments at Porvenir 2 in Guanacevi has continued accessing ore on 2 levels with average width of 2.68 meters grading 416 g/t Ag and 0.75 g/t Au (461 g/t Ag eq.

or 14.8 oz/T Ag eq.) on the 3401 level for a length of 213 meters and on the second level (3402) the average width is 2.28 meters grading 501 g/t Ag and 0.86 g/t Au (553 g/t Ag eq. or 17.8 oz/T Ag eq.) over a length of 185 meters.

The silver equivalents are calculated using 60:1 silver to gold ratio with no base metals included in the calculation.
