London, 31 July 2025 – Endeavour Mining plc (LSE:EDV, TSX:EDV, OTCQX:EDVMF) (“Endeavour”, the “Group” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its operating and financial results for Q2-2025 and H1-2025, with highlights provided in Table 1 below.

1Continuing Operations excludes the settlement of historic liabilities under the original sale agreement of the Boungou mine. 2This is a non-GAAP measure, refer to the non-GAAP Measures section for further details. 3Realised gold prices are inclusive of the Sabodala-Massawa stream and the realised gains/losses from the Group’s revenue protection programme. 4From all operations; calculated as Operating Cash Flow less Cash used in investing activities. 5Last Twelve Months (“LTM”) Trailing EBITDA adj includes EBITDA generated by discontinued operations.

Q2-2025 has been another strong quarter for Endeavour, capping an excellent first half of 2025 with 647koz of gold produced at an AISC of $1,281 per ounce; ensuring we are firmly on track to achieve our full-year guidance.

As a result of our larger portfolio, following the completion of our growth phase 12 months ago, H1-2025 production was 38% higher than the same period last year, with our all-in sustaining margin 80% higher, ensuring that we realised the full benefit of the strong gold price environment.

Over the past 12 months, we have generated $879 million of free cash flow, equivalent to over $687 for every ounce of gold we produced, or a yield of more than 17% from the start of the period. During H1, despite paying approximately 70% of our full-year’s taxes, we still generated record free cash flow of $514 million, equivalent to $794 for every ounce of gold we produced, and we are well positioned to continue delivering strong free cash flow in the second half of the year.

Underpinned by this strong free cash flow, we have maintained leverage well below our target and declared another record dividend of $150 million for H1-2025, which we have further supplemented with $69 million of share buybacks, equivalent to returns of $338 for every ounce of gold produced for the period. Since our first payments in 2021, we have returned $1.4 billion to shareholders, over 80% above our minimum commitment, and equivalent to $213 for every ounce produced over the period.

Looking ahead, the DFS for our tier 1 Assafou project is on schedule for completion by early-2026, and the permitting process is well advanced. Simultaneously, we are continuing to explore the property and expect to outline a resource update later this year, incorporating resources from satellite discoveries in close proximity to Assafou.

We are very pleased with the operational performance we have delivered from our expanded portfolio and our ability to convert that performance into cash flow. Our high-margin, long-life operations, coupled with our exciting organic growth pipeline positions us well to continue delivering against our strategic objectives.
