London, 13 November 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 Q3-2025 and YTD-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.
Q3-2025 marked another solid operational quarter placing us firmly on track to achieve our full-year guidance. Strong year-to-date production has positioned us to achieve the top half of our production guidance with AISC within the guidance range, when adjusted for the impact of higher gold prices on royalty costs.
Our Q3-2025 operational performance was in line with our planned mine sequence, despite the impact of a heavier than normal wet season. This performance, coupled with higher gold prices, underpinned a 59% increase in free cash flow generation in Q3, bringing free cash flow generation to $680 million year-to-date, and to nearly a billion dollars over the last twelve months. We remain focused on maximising free cash flow generation from every ounce of gold that we produce, to ensure that our margins grow with the gold price.
Given the strong free cash flow generation, we further strengthened our balance sheet this quarter by not only lowering our leverage, but reducing our gross debt as well, through the full repayment of the drawn portion of our revolving credit facility.
Shareholder returns increased, following payment of our record $150 million dividend early in Q4, we continued to buyback shares, bringing year-to-date returns to $233 million, before the declaration of our H2-2025 dividend that we will announce in Q1-2026, which is expected to increase our total returns to at least $346 million. We have now returned over $1.4 billion to our shareholders over the last four and half years, or 83% above our minimum commitment, and as we look forward to our next phase of growth, we expect to be well positioned to continue delivering sector-leading returns throughout.
Our Assafou project continues to advance on schedule, with the environmental permit now approved and the Definitive Feasibility Study on track to be completed in Q1-2026, progressively de-risking our timeline to first gold.
In parallel, we continue to accelerate exploration to delineate high-priority near-mine opportunities at Houndé, Sabodala-Massawa, Ity and Assafou, and identify greenfield opportunities both in West Africa, and in other, similar, highly-fertile tier 1 gold provinces that have limited exploration maturity, where we can lever our exploration expertise and gain an early mover advantage. We expect to announce our new exploration strategy in Q4, which will support continued mine life extension and improvements across our existing portfolio, and drive our next phase of organic growth, beyond Assafou.
Given our high-quality portfolio, underpinned by a top tier organic growth pipeline, we are well positioned to sustainably deliver sector-leading shareholder returns and organic growth, generating value for all our stakeholders.
