Reserves and Resources — that’s where the rubber meets the road in the mining industry. Reserves and resources are a mining company’s stock in trade.

When Endeavour Silver began its mining operation at its Guanacevi Mines Project in Durango, Mexico, the reserves were zero, nil, nada and that was just two years ago!

When Stock Guru first began covering Endeavour they were an OTC company. Today they are on the Amex.

Publicly traded companies publish their reserves as defined worldwide by the international Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (also known as NI 43-101).

Mineral reserves are estimated by the manual method. This simply means that Endeavour drills holes and retrieves underground sample data which is then analyzed for silver content. From this information silver reserves are estimated by an independent Qualified Person under the definition by National Instrument 43-101 and a report is published.

This published information is often the basis of evaluation of a mining company and it is performed annually. Last year Endeavor released these results on March 28, 2006. (Link here for release.)

What we know is this existing mine had reserves at zero in 2004 and has been brought back to life by Endeavour. The mining facilities and processing plant were in place and the highly qualified management team at Endeavour believed there was life left in that old mine. (Link here to review their qualifications.)

In this mine that registered zero reserves and resources in 2004 we have seen the following:

  • 0 oz silver beginning 2004
  • 3,481,200 oz silver 2005 (after sample data taken)
  • 14,140,000 oz silver in 2006 (after sample data taken)

What we are all waiting for is the 2007 information at this point. If it’s good there is truly no stopping Endeavour, a Durango Silver Mining Company, that went from zero to 14.14 Million Ounces on the very astute evaluation of a very qualified management team.

This is just one more step in Endeavour’s relentless progress toward its goal of being one of the top five primary silver producers in the world.

By locating on the AMEX Endeavour will increase the likelihood of being covered by several analysts.

Analyst coverage will promote a closer look by more buyers.

Now is a very good time to take a closer look at this silver mine that flamed the interest of some very knowledgeable investors.
