Event Summary

Since August 12, 2026, operations at Endeavour Silver's Terronera mine in Mexico — Jalisco, Mexico have been temporarily suspended due to an illegal blockade by members of the nearby Ejido community. The community's concerns include road maintenance, medical services, communications, water supply control and access, and increased financial assistance. The blockade has remained peaceful, and the site is staffed with a reduced workforce for safety and maintenance. Endeavour Silver is in active discussions with Ejido leaders to resolve the matter and resume full operations, and has stated it may pursue legal remedies if the blockade persists. As of August 20, negotiations are ongoing with no material change in status.
