Based on current metal prices of $33 per oz silver, $1400 per oz gold, $1.10 per lb lead and $1.10 per lb zinc, the NSR values rise 88% to approximately US$142 per tonne for indicated resources and US$139 per tonne for inferred resources.

Barry Devlin, Vice President of Exploration, commented, "Our 2010 drill program at Parral was successful at extending the previously drilled poly-metallic vein mineralization on the El Cometa property further north onto the San Juanico properties. As a result, the resource tonnes and contained metals in the indicated and inferred resources all rose substantially over the previous estimate."

"Endeavour now plans to commission a preliminary economic analysis of the Parral Project in order to determine how best to develop the project to commercial production. The Parral properties are located only one kilometer from an operating 500 tonne per day, government-owned, custom flotation and cyanidation process plant."

Endeavour plans to release its Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2010 financial results before the market open on Tuesday, March 22, 2010. A conference call to discuss the results will follow at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (1:00 PM Eastern Time) on the same day. Endeavour also plans to release its updated NI 43-101 reserves and resources next week.

Barry Devlin, M.Sc., P.Geo. Vice President, Exploration is the Qualified Person who reviewed this news release and supervised the surface drilling and sampling programs at the Parral Project. A Quality Control sampling program of reference standards, blanks and duplicates has been instituted to monitor the integrity of all assay results. All core samples are split at the Parral, Guanajuato, or Guanacevi field offices and shipped to ALS-Chemex Labs, where they are dried, crushed, split and 50 gram pulp samples are prepared for analysis. Gold and silver are determined by fire assay with an atomic absorption (AA) finish and lead, zinc and copper are determined by AA.
