Canada’s Endeavour Silver (TSX: EDR) (NYSE: EXK) took a significant hit to production in the three months to the end of June, as operations were halted for two months to comply with the Mexican government’s efforts to halt the spread of the coronavirus.
During the quarter, the Vancouver-based precious metal miner churned out 596,545 ounces of silver and 5,817 gold ounces, for silver equivalent production of 1.06 million ounces.
The figures represent an output drop of 42% when compared to the 1.1 million ounces of silver and 9,558 gold ounces, or 1.82 million of silver equivalent ounces, Endeavour produced in the same period last year.
