Abidjan, February 21, 2019 - Endeavour Mining (TSX:EDV OTCQX: EDVMF) ("Endeavour") announces the appointment of Mark Morcombe as Chief Operating Officer, with effect from May 6, 2019. He will take over from Jeremy Langford who will be leaving Endeavour on February 28, 2019.

Mr. Morcombe has more than 25 years of experience in the mining industry with extensive expertise in leading cost and productivity initiatives. Prior to joining Endeavour, Mark was Chief Operating Officer of Centamin Plc and has previously held senior roles at several Africa-focused mining groups, including Acacia Mining, AngloGold Ashanti and Gold Fields.

Sébastien de Montessus, President and CEO of Endeavour Mining, said: "We are very pleased to welcome Mark to Endeavour as he has a strong operating track record, notably with Tier 1 African mines.

We would like to thank Jeremy for his contribution to Endeavour, notably for leading the design and build of most of our operating assets, and for training and assembling a core construction team. He has played a key role in successfully building Houndé and de-risking the Ity CIL construction with its main milestones now complete and wet commissioning underway. As our near-term construction focus is expected to shift from large builds to asset optimizations, which marks the end of several years of large capital-intensive project builds, we support Jeremy's decision to pursue other opportunities and wish him success."
