("Endeavour") (EXK: NYSE-Amex) (EJD: DB-Frankfurt) (EDR: TSX) announced today that silver production for Q1, 2010 from the Companys two operating silver mines in Mexico, the Guanacevi Mine in Durango State and the Guanajuato Mine in Guanajuato State, totalled 766,210 ounces (oz) silver, up 34% compared to Q1, 2009.

Gold production also rose in the Q1, 2010, up 62% to 3,775 oz compared to Q1, 2009, resulting in silver-equivalent production rising to 1,011,569 oz (assuming a 65:1 silver:gold ratio - base metals not included as silver-equivalents). The Q1, 2010 production data is outlined in the table below:
*the throughput (tonnes per day) at Guanajuato are based on a 6 day work week. Godfrey Walton, President and COO, stated, "Endeavour posted another strong quarter of production growth in Q1, 2010.

With tonnage throughput continuing to improve at both Guanacevi and Guanajuato, we are already ahead of our production forecast in 2010." "Like 2009, production is expected to be relatively flat in Q1 and Q2, but should increase in the second half of the year as a third new mine is brought into production at Guanacevi.

During the Q1, the Company completed over 1.3 kilometres (km) of ramp development at Guanacevi in order to bring Porvenir Cuatro on line this year as scheduled.

The Guanacevi crushing circuit expansion is now underway and should be completed on schedule, allowing the plant to increase throughput in the second half of the year to take advantage of the new Porvenir Cuatro mine coming online.

"At Guanajuato, the Lucero vein continues to contribute significantly to production with the balance of ore coming from Cebada and Bolanitos. During Q1, the Company mined a lower grade portion of the Lucero vein.

However silver grades are expected to return to normal levels (200 g/t Ag and 1.9 g/t Au) in Q2.

The Company completed over 1.0 km of mine development at Guanajuato during the quarter." Godfrey Walton, M.Sc., P.

Geo., the President and COO for Endeavour, is the Qualified Person who reviewed this news release and oversaw the mining operations.
Endeavour Silver Corp is a small-cap silver mining company focused on the growth of its silver production, reserves and resources in Mexico. Since start-up in 2004, Endeavour has posted five consecutive years of growing silver production, reserves and resources.

The organic expansion programs now underway at Endeavours two operating silver mines in Mexico combined with its strategic acquisition program should help Endeavour achieve its goal to become the next premier mid-tier primary silver producer.
