VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 14 (MARKET WIRE) —
Endeavour Silver Corp. (“Endeavour”) (TSX: EDR)(NYSE Amex:
EXK)(DBFrankfurt: EJD) announced today that silver production for Q1,

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:

—————————————————————————-
(i) 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 Endeavour’s 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.
