Growth Plans - Endeavour is investing US$30+ million over 3 years at Guanacevi and Guanajuato to expand resources to 60 million oz silver and production to 4.5 million oz silver per year, just to fill the existing capacity of the plants. The Company plans additional growth by acquiring and exploring additional properties such as the Parral and Arroyo Seco projects and further silver mine acquisitions in Mexico.
Investment Potential - The top four primary silver mining companies each produce between 6.8 and 14.8 million oz silver per year, have market capitalizations of US$0.8 billion to US$2 billion and are valued at around US$65 to US$200 per oz of annual silver production, or 10 to 30 times forward cashflow multiples. If Endeavour grows to 5 million oz per year by 2008 and captures similar market valuations, the investment potential should be a multiple of the current market cap.
