Disclaimer & Forward Looking Statements
Cash cost per ounce and all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce
are non-GAAP performance measures with no standard meaning
under IFRS. This presentation contains “forward-looking
statements” including but not limited to, statements with respect
to Endeavour’s plans and operating performance, the estimation
of mineral reserves and resources, the timing and amount of
estimated future production, costs of future production, future
capital expenditures, and the success of exploration activities.
Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as “expects”,
“expected”, “budgeted”, “forecasts” and “anticipates”. Forwardlooking statements, while based on management’s best estimates
and assumptions, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may
cause actual results to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements,
including but not limited to: risks related to the successful
integration of acquisitions; risks related to international
operations; risks related to general economic conditions and credit
availability, actual results of current exploration activities,
unanticipated reclamation expenses; changes in project
parameters as plans continue to be refined; fluctuations in prices
of metals including gold; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange

rates, increases in market prices of mining consumables, possible
variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of
plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated;
accidents, labour disputes, title disputes, claims and limitations on
insurance coverage and other risks of the mining industry; delays
in the completion of development or construction activities,
changes in national and local government regulation of mining
operations, tax rules and regulations, and political and economic
developments in countries in which Endeavour operates.
Although Endeavour has attempted to identify important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other
factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will
prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could
differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forwardlooking statements. Please refer to Endeavour’s most recent
Annual Information Form filed under its profile at www.sedar.com
for further information respecting the risks affecting Endeavour
and its business.

Cash costs and sustaining capital on downward

Conversion to owner U/G mining has been a key

•
Grade to improve in Q4

•
Low Q3 milled grade resulted in high cash cost/oz
If Q3 milled grade was 3.25 g/t and all else equal,
AISC would have been $1,144/oz

Tonnes of ore milled
• Segala has ramped up to 1,500 ore tonnes per day in September, with development increasing
from 386 metres per month in April to 508 metres achieved in September
• Cost improvements are expected as Segala moves to full production during Q4 and milled
grades return to scheduled levels

• Agbaou has already exceeded the original guidance of 85,000 to 95,000 ounces for the year with
gold production of 99,392 ounces for the 9 months ended September 30, 2014
• Results to date from exploration to extend mine life (highlights of results in October 9, 2014 news
release) have demonstrated a continuity of grades and widths, with several mineralized zones
remaining open on strike and at depth

Tonnes of ore milled
• Mine production declined compared to Q2 2014 due to:
− Hardness of some of the ore feed from the Adamus Pits decreased mill throughput
− Heavy rainfall also impacted mining in the Aliva pit

Houndé Update
•
2014 exploration program focused on strike extensions of known zones such as Vindaloo
and Madras as well as targets considered to have potential for delineation of additional
resources, including Bouéré and Dohoun (both within 14 km of proposed plant)
•
The drilling program began in June 2014 and is nearing completion
•
Assay results are currently being tabulated and updated mineral resources and reserves will
be completed for the year end and reported in Q1 2015

efforts across all sites
•
An Ebola Preparedness Plan is in place at each of the mines that includes temperature
screening for all employees and visitors and liaising with local, regional and national
medical authorities
Unrest in Burkina Faso
•
Protests against President Blaise Compaore started on October 28
•
Burkina Faso's military dissolved parliament and announced a plan for an election

Concluding Comments
•
Strong production in Q3 and YTD
•
Achieved below $1,000 AISC/oz in Q3; approx.
1 year after goal was set
•
Tabakoto optimization plan on track with
increase in volumes mined & milled and
decrease in operating costs – milled grade to
improve as Segala u/g mining flexibility
expands and we access Kofi C open pit ore in
January
•
Transitioning out of capital investment
programs and into free cash flow
generation
•
Anticipate using a portion of free cash flow
to reduce outstanding debt balances
