Endeavour Silver resumes Terronera mine operations

Overview

Operations at Endeavour Silver Corp.’s Terronera silver-gold mine in Jalisco, Mexico, were suspended due to a blockade by members of the local Ejido community. The blockade, which began around August 12, 2026, was initiated over concerns regarding water supply access, medical services, communications, road maintenance, and the need for increased financial assistance.

While the company described the blockade as “peaceful, orderly, and respectful,” the disruption halted operations at a project in the final stages of construction, resulting in the immobilization of invested capital and infrastructure. During the suspension, a reduced workforce remained on-site to manage safety, security, and maintenance protocols while the company engaged in discussions with community leaders. Endeavour Silver noted it was prepared to pursue legal remedies if the disruption continued.

On August 23, 2026, Endeavour Silver announced the removal of the blockade, with operations scheduled to resume on August 24, 2026. The company confirmed it has since resumed production at the Terronera mine after reaching an agreement through dialogue with local ejido representatives to establish conditions for operational and social stability. The restart of the underground mine, which has an estimated 10-year lifespan, is being conducted in a “gradual and secure manner.”
