The articles present favorable clinical outcomes, as well as a discussion of some of the unique design features of the multidirectional expandable FlareHawk device that may contribute to its clinical efficacy.

I.

The lumbar Interbody fusion study substantiating the safety and efficacy of the FlareHawk biplanar expandable cage is presented by principal investigator Dom Coric, M.D., of Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates, Chief of Neurosurgery at Carolinas Medical Center and Spine Division Chief at Atrium Musculoskeletal Institute in Charlotte, North Carolina. The study followed strict inclusion criteria including the allowance of only allograft and/or autograft to facilitate fusion and its participants represented patients with noteworthy comorbidities, including high BMI, diabetes, and current/former smokers. Among subjects with radiographs at 12 ± 3 months, nearly all (56 of 58 patients, or 96.6%, and 75 of 77 levels, or 97.4%) achieved fusion based on Bridwell-Lenke grading. Among 45 evaluable subjects, 71% (32 patients) achieved clinically significant improvements in VAS leg pain, and 76% (34 patients) achieved clinically significant improvements in VAS back pain. Additionally, there were no (0%) reported device-related adverse events (AEs). Common device-related AEs associated with interbody fusion devices include, but are not limited to, subsidence, displacement, and nerve injury. The incidence rate for non-device-related AEs was consistent with other PLIF/TLIF studies. There were no (0%) observations of cage subsidence (defined as an overlap between the vertebral endplates and the device exceeding 25% of the device height) and only one case (1.7%) of observed device migration (defined as displacement of the device relative to the position within intra-operative or immediate post-operative images). Analysis of that case reveals that the cage moved only slightly within the disc space and the patient went on to fuse.

Dr. Coric notes, “This study adds to the evidence base supporting the safe and effective use of expandable interbody spacers in the treatment of lumbar spine diseases. The FlareHawk implant’s ability to expand in both cephalad-caudal and lateral-medial planes is especially advantageous for decreasing neural retraction while maximizing vertebral body endplate coverage and fusion area.”

Raphael Roybal, M.D., M.B.A, co-author of the paper and Director of The Spine Institute at Chatham Orthopaedics in Savannah, Georgia, notes, “Popular minimally invasive TLIF techniques, typically involving a unilateral approach to the disc space, may limit the amount of disc space preparation and/or bone graft delivery, thereby impeding fusion rates. Biplanar expandable spacers that support minimally invasive surgery, safer implantation, and optimal patient outcomes will be relevant in delivering value-based spine care. The FlareHawk device has transformed my practice by allowing me to transition cases to an outpatient setting that is better for my patients and staff.”

Mark Grubb, M.D., co-author and minimally invasive spine surgeon at Northeast Ohio Spine Center in Akron, Ohio, adds, “Most expandable spacers use complex articulation mechanisms to expand the implant profile in either in height or width, but typically do not achieve multidirectional expansion. Furthermore, these complex mechanisms can limit the space available for bone grafting. I appreciate that the FlareHawk cage features a small insertion profile and expands in footprint, height, and lordosis via an unobtrusive mechanism that allows me to deliver bone graft through the expanded cage and into the intervertebral body space. Additionally, the ability to treat my patients via a single-position, posterior surgery allows me to improve both the quality and efficiency of my practice.”

II.

Similarly, the work from Boyle Cheng, Ph.D., Professor at Drexel University College of Medicine in Pennsylvania and Director of Research at the Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Neuroscience Institute, assesses the feasibility of a bidirectional expandable interbody cage to achieve interbody fusion and discusses two novel aspects of the FlareHawk device: (1) its multimaterial, open-architecture design that provides a combined spring effect for a modulus of elasticity similar to that of bone while maintaining sufficient support and stiffness from the titanium shim, and (2) implant geometry that allows for the naturally occurring deformation of the PEEK shell to conform to each patient’s endplate configuration.

Dr. Cheng’s study hypothesizes that utilizing two components, each with the appropriate intrinsic material stiffness, provides both flexibility and stability resulting in a device with a composite construct stiffness more favorable to load transfer over a large contact area with the endplates. Reducing the construct stiffness is essential, not only to reduce the risk of subsidence but also to increase the load sharing and improve bone formation as a function of Wolff’s Law. As such, the multimaterial construct, open architecture, and bi-directionally expanding design of the FlareHawk cage may contribute to the positive clinical outcomes observed.

Additionally, the shim-in-a-shell design conforms to patient-specific endplate anatomy. Measurement of the relative position of the tantalum markers revealed that 16 of the 18 devices showed coronal plane deformation of 1.82mm (18.55%) anteriorly and 1.41mm (15.49%) posteriorly. This measured deformation correlates well with values of endplate concavity reported in the literature (1.37 – 1.90mm), suggesting that the PEEK shell is conforming to the natural endplate anatomy. This material behavior, along with bidirectional expansion, serves to increase the surface area of the bone-implant interface and may better distribute the loads across the endplate.

Dr. Cheng notes, “This represents yet another design aspect potentially contributing to the favorable fusion rates seen with the FlareHawk device. In the study, all 18 devices (100%) were determined to have fused based on demonstrated bone growth evidence (average volume of 586.42 mm³) and Bridwell-Lenke classification. An interbody device with this unique combination of compliant and rigid components has the potential to conform to the interbody space while maintaining sufficient stability to achieve fusion. This represents a significant advancement not just in expandable cage technology, but in the larger context of achieving successful lumbar interbody fusion. The cage appears to conform in shape obliquely, sagittally, and coronally, resulting in adaptive implant geometry that surgeons may desire. Additionally, the lack of endplate violation suggests that the FlareHawk cage is an atraumatic implant.”

The FlareHawk spinal implant is the flagship product for Integrity Implants and represents the first of its kind in the expandable cage market. Much like coronary stents that offer patients a less-invasive alternative to open-heart procedures, the FlareHawk expandable cage features a PEEK shell that is inserted in a compressed form that can be effectively passed through small neural pathways and, once within the intervertebral disc space, expanded to a larger footprint and height. A titanium shim inserted within the PEEK shell produces the expansion and creates a solid-state construct that is resistant to collapse yet has shown the potential to conform to endplate anatomy to increase surface contact area and lower stresses. The Adaptive Geometry™ and advanced multimaterial composition embodied in the FlareHawk device respect patient anatomy both during insertion and for long-term stability. To date, approximately 8,500 FlareHawk cages have been implanted in more than 6,000 patients.

Chris Walsh, Integrity Implants CEO, shares, “The data suggests that the FlareHawk cage changes the PLIF/TLIF algorithm, enabling a single-position, reproducible, facility-friendly interbody solution that can provide surgeons significant efficiencies and latitude for their practices. There may be profound medical and economic ramifications to study in the future. Before founding Integrity Implants, Wyatt Geist and I observed, as distributors, the power of the lateral approach to transform the modern spine practice through a less-invasive technique. What we are observing with the FlareHawk device, we believe, is even greater in scale. The simple design works in inpatient and outpatient facilities, as well as international markets. This supports our thesis that Adaptive Geometry™ – the ability of an implant to change shape intraoperatively to respect the patient’s anatomy – reconciles the desire for a minimally invasive approach that yields a maximum clinical result through a variety of surgical approaches to the spine, and in a variety of clinical settings. In addition to these papers, IJSS has published Dr. Lee Tan’s Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes After Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion – Early Experience Using a Biplanar Expandable Cage for Lumbar Spondylolisthesis. We are excited about the promise of the FlareHawk expandable cage for MIS TLIF and will discuss those findings in a future release.”

About FlareHawk Expandable Lumbar Interbody Fusion System

The FlareHawk Interbody Fusion System is indicated for spinal intervertebral body fusion with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone in skeletally mature individuals with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1, following discectomy. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment. Additionally, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). FlareHawk system spacers are intended to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation, which has been cleared for use in the lumbar spine.

WALL, N.J., Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BIO-key International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BKYI), an innovative provider of biometric and other multi-factor identity and access management (IAM) solutions for strong, convenient user authentication and large-scale identity applications, today reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2020 (Q3’20). BIO-key will host a conference call today at 10:00 a.m. ET (details below) to review its results and outlook.

Recent
News and
Highlights:

• BIO-key ended Q3’20 with $18.4M of cash reflecting the completion of a $24.8 million underwritten public offering of stock and warrants in July.
• Q3’20 revenue of $943K or more than double Q3’19 revenue of $453K. BIO-key’s Q3’20 results benefitted from the acquisition of PortalGuard® developer PistolStar. PortalGuard is an enterprise multifactor authentication and single sign-on platform deployed and used by millions of users at hundreds of customers around the world, with particular strength in education.
• PortalGuard continues to be deployed by educational institutions across the U.S., including in Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, California, Guam, and Washington D.C., as well as by a major nonprofit healthcare organization, a global medical device company, a major municipality, and the U.S. General Services Administration.
• A multinational agriculture company also deployed BIO-key’s biometric software solutions and PIV-pro finger print readers to secure system access by workers at two facilities in California with the potential to add additional facilities in coming months.
• BIO-key’s biometric user access solution for voter registration data was utilized across 45 counties in two states during recent elections.
• BIO-key’s Channel Alliance Program continues to expand and now includes 50 partners worldwide.
• One of two large African contracts is expected to commence in Q4’20, with anticipated orders of $650K for an initial deployment.
• BIO-key expects Q4 performance to continue to improve from Q3 levels, with continued momentum into FY 2021.

BIO-key CEO Michael DePasquale commented, “Despite lingering business development challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Q3 proved a pivotal and exciting quarter for BIO-key as we completed the recapitalization of the Company and built revenue momentum for our new PortalGuard solution. We began to see a return to more normalized sales and marketing dialogues following a very challenging Q2 during which most customer IT decision-making had been put on hold. We are now seeing business activity slowly moving to a more normal pace and level of engagement. Importantly, Q3’20 marked the first quarter incorporating results of our PistolStar/PortalGuard business, and we saw very strong traction for the solution, particularly within higher education institutions seeking to strengthen and streamline online access to educational resources for students, faculty and administration.

“In recent weeks we have also seen initial traction in Africa as we have commenced work on the first of our two large projects in Nigeria. The projects have been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and more recently some civil unrest, however business activity has begun to normalize with the opening of the economy and the projects are beginning to move forward. The first contract is an approximate $45M project to provide biometric software and hardware solutions in support of a Nigerian Ministry of Labour program to create employment for one million recent college graduates in Nigeria. It appears that this program has become an even more important priority in the wake of the economic disruption from the pandemic. We look to close an initial deployment for this project this month with anticipated orders for $650k in the fourth quarter and we expect the project to scale substantially over the next two years.

“Additionally, our $30M project to provide biometric security solutions to securely authenticate millions of customers for an African telecommunications company is now slated to start in 2021. Further, we are building out our BIO-key Africa subsidiary to support growth objectives in the Civil ID and enterprise security markets across the African continent. We continue to believe our unique suite of biometric and multifactor authentication solutions are extremely well matched for a wide array of opportunities across Africa.

“PortalGuard was an important contributor to Q3 revenues of $943K, which more than doubled our Q3’19 revenues. PortalGuard adds high margin, recurring license and maintenance revenue, as evidenced by a 78% gross margin achieved in Q3’20. PortalGuard substantially expands our software product offerings and potential available market particularly in key verticals, such as higher education, financial services, and state and local government. The acquisition also bolstered our sales, marketing and R&D teams while increasing our customer base and providing significant cross-selling opportunities.

“To provide cohesive marketing leadership across the company, in August we appointed Kimberly Johnson as V.P. of Product Marketing. Kimberly is a talented, experienced marketing executive with a strong track record in shaping and executing go-to-market strategies, effective positioning, messaging and demand creation. Under her leadership, we recently unveiled a brand new integrated corporate website to clarify and strengthen our messaging and to enhance our marketing efforts.

“In summary, it is a very exciting time for BIO-key as we progress into 2021 with an enhanced product suite, an expanded team of professionals, tremendous financial strength, and a growing base of opportunities around the globe.”

Q
3
2020
Results

Q3’20 revenues more than doubled to $943,000 from $453,000 in Q3’19, due primarily to a full quarter’s contribution from the PistolStar/PortalGuard acquisition which closed on June 30.

Gross margin improved to 78% in Q3’20 as compared to a negative 12% gross margin in Q3’19, due primarily to $281,250 in non-cash software license amortization expense recorded in Q3’19 which did not recur in Q3’20.

Q3’20 operating expenses increased to $1.8 million from $1.2 million, primarily reflecting the inclusion of PortalGuard operating expenses in consolidation. BIO-key reported a Q3’20 operating loss of $1.1M compared to $1.3M in Q3’19.

BIO-key’s Q3’20 results reflect $2.2M of net interest expense, consisting primarily of amortization of costs associated with the repayment of the Company’s convertible notes, compared to net interest expense of $0.6M in Q3’19.

BIO-key reported a net loss available to stockholders of $3.3M, or $0.06 per basic share, in Q3’20 compared to a net loss of $1.8M, or $0.13 per basic share, in Q3’19. Weighted average basic shares outstanding were approximately 51.5M in Q3’20 compared 14.4M in the third quarter of 2019.

Financial Strength

At the close of Q3’20, BIO-key had $18.4M in cash, reflecting the net proceeds of public offering of common stock and warrants, the repayment of $4.23M of convertible notes, and the payment of approximately $0.5M of accounts payable. Additionally, BIO-key had $235,000 of remaining notes payable related to the PistolStar acquisition.

This is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the non-GAAP measure section of the MD&A. ²Realized Gold Price inclusive of Karma stream; ³Realized Gold Price less  All-in Sustaining Cost per ounce; ⁴Net revenue less All-in Sustaining Costs; ⁵Net revenue less All-in Sustaining Costs and Non-Sustaining capital.

Sebastien de Montessus, President and CEO, commented: “We are very pleased with our strong performance during the third quarter, which positions us to achieve our annual guidance set at the beginning of the year despite the ongoing challenges presented by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Our Net Debt has decreased by 71% over the last 12 months, with nearly $300 million reduced during the third quarter alone, allowing the Group to boast a healthy leverage ratio of below 0.3x as we quickly approach a net cash position. We look forward to delivering a record-breaking fourth quarter, as we expect an even stronger performance given the restart at Boungou, higher grades at Houndé and the end of the rainy season.

Given our strong balance sheet and expected robust free cash flow generation, we are pleased to announce our first dividend at an attractive yield as part of our capital allocation framework and strategy of maximizing shareholder value. Our goal is to maintain a similar dividend yield until we have reached a targeted net cash position of $250 million. Once this targeted net cash position is reached, we would be well positioned to re-assess our capital allocation priorities, which include increasing our shareholder return program. 

In addition to increasing our cash flow generation in the short term, we are also well positioned to deliver medium and longer-term value creation. We see potential to continue to optimize and extend the mine lives at both Ity and Houndé and are now deploying the same strategy at the recently acquired, and swiftly integrated, Boungou and Mana mines. We are also continuing to build optionality within our portfolio by aggressively advancing our attractive pipeline of projects, where efforts are currently being prioritized on fast tracking our Fetekro Project to a pre-feasibility study in Q1-2021.

The progress we have made across our business over recent years is bearing fruit as we have created a compelling investment proposition. We are now focused on further enhancing our capital markets appeal, by paying dividends and evaluating a secondary listing, both with a focus on driving incremental investor demand through notably increased index inclusions.”

ENDEAVOUR DECLARES FIRST DIVIDEND

Endeavour is pleased to announce that, based on its expected robust free cash flow generation, its Board of Directors has declared a first dividend of $60 million for the 2020 fiscal year, payable in early Q1-2021. This first dividend equates to approximately $0.37 per share (C$0.48 per share) and represents a 1.6% yield based on Endeavour’s closing price on November 11, 2020. The Company expects to announce the record date later in Q4-2020.

This first dividend sets the path to a sustainable dividend policy, based on its capital allocation framework and its strategy of maximizing long term shareholder value. Following the payment of this first dividend, the Board of Directors expects to declare future dividends on a semi-annual basis, with the goal of maintaining a similar dividend yield until it has reached a targeted net cash position of $250 million. Once that target is reached, the Company would be well positioned to re-assess its capital allocation priorities, which may include augmenting its shareholder return program.

UPCOMING CATALYSTS

The key upcoming expected catalysts are summarized in the table below.

Table 2: Key Upcoming Catalysts

TIMING	CATALYST
Q4-2020	Houndé	Higher production due to the ramp-up of high grade Kari Pump deposit
Q4-2020	Boungou	Higher production due to restart of mining which provides higher-grade mill feed
Q1-2021	Corporate	Payment of first dividend
Q1-2021	Houndé	Maiden reserve estimate for Kari Center and Kari Gap
Q1-2021	Fetekro	Pre-Feasibility Study (plant size expected to be doubled to 3.0Mtpa)

COVID-19 UPDATE

Since the outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Endeavour has focused on the well-being of its employees, contractors and local communities, while ensuring business continuity. In addition, host governments in Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Mali have taken strict and pro-active measures to minimize overall exposure in their countries.

Protecting the well-being of employees, contractors, and local communities

• Endeavour has implemented a range of preventative measures across all its sites, including social distancing, health screening, augmented hygiene and restricted access to sites.
• Endeavour operates in close coordination with the national health authorities and is using the epidemiological surveillance system it developed to assist host countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Mali) with the monitoring and tracking of the pandemic in these countries.
• Endeavour’s donations of key medical equipment and supplies to regional, community and on-site medical centers continued during the quarter across all three countries of its projects and operations.
• A range of community programs were implemented during the quarter including micro-credit programs, which help to support people in host communities whose livelihoods have been impacted by the pandemic, and e-learning programs in Burkina Faso to facilitate access to distance learning for students.

Business continuity response plan

• In early March 2020, Endeavour put in place a business continuity plan to mitigate the risks and potential impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has three levels of response:
  • Level 1, which the Group is currently operating under, involves a range of preventative measures including temperature checks, restricted access to sites, social distancing, increased hygiene standards and mandatory quarantine periods for employees arriving in-country, while otherwise continuing operations as normal.
  • Level 2 is designed to be initiated should COVID-19 become more prevalent in the countries in which the Group operates and involves comprehensive restrictions on movement into and out of the mines. Under these circumstances, Endeavour’s mines would be isolated, but mining operations and the shipment of gold would continue.
  • Level 3 involves the full or partial suspension of mining and processing operations.
• Each of Endeavour’s operations are continuing to operate at normal levels with gold shipments and sales continuing, albeit with increased health and safety measures and decreased efficiencies in some parts of the operations.
• Employees in a role that enabled them to work from home were asked to do so. The Corporation’s cloud-based strategy ensured that employees could access all the relevant applications, systems and collaboration tools that they needed to perform their duties. In addition, the cyber security response was updated and is constantly tracked in light of the increased cyber security risk generally observed during the pandemic.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

• Continued strong safety record for the Group, with a low Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (“LTIFR”) of 0.14 for the trailing 12 months.
• Endeavour remains on track to achieve its pro forma Group FY-2020 production guidance of 995 – 1,095koz at an AISC of $865 – $915/oz, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The fourth quarter is expected to be the strongest quarter of the year given the recent restart of mining operations at Boungou and the processing of higher grade ore from the Kari Pump deposit at Houndé.

This is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the non-GAAP measure section of the MD&A. Endeavour believes that operating and financial figures for SEMAFO are representative of the period ended June 30, 2020 as the Transaction closed on July 1, 2020. Figures presented and disclosed relating to SEMAFO operations represent classifications and calculations performed using consistent historical SEMAFO methodologies. Potential differences may include, but not limited to, classification of corporate costs and operating expenses, classification of mining, processing, and site G&A costs, classification of capitalized waste as sustaining and non-sustaining, valuation of stockpiles and gold in circuit. Pro forma information has not been adjusted and is comprised of the simple sum of information provided for each of Endeavour and SEMAFO.

• Q3-2020 consolidated production amounted to 244koz, an increase of 95koz or 64% over Q2-2020, due to the addition of the Mana and Boungou mines, as well as increased production at Houndé, Karma and Agbaou, which was slightly offset by a modest decrease at Ity.  AISC decreased by $33/oz or 4% to $906/oz as lower costs at Houndé and Ity, as well as the addition of Mana and Boungou, more than offset increased costs at Agbaou and Karma and higher royalty costs due to the strong gold price.
• YTD-2020 consolidated production amounted to 565koz, an increase of 92koz or +19% over YTD-2019 as a full nine months of Ity and the addition of Mana and Boungou more than offset an expected decline in production at Agbaou. AISC increased due to expected increases at Agbaou, Ity and Houndé, as well as the addition of a full quarter of operations at Mana, which were partially offset by lower unit corporate costs and the addition of the low cost Boungou mine.

AGBAOU MINE

Q3 2020 vs Q2 2020 Insights

• Production remained flat as an increased proportion of the mill feed was comprised of higher grade fresh ore, which compensated for the guided reduction in plant throughput. 
  • Total tonnes mined increased by 16% as activities focused on the deeper elevation and fresh material zones of the North pit and the South pit with marginal contribution from the West pit. Tonnes of ore mined decreased due to greater emphasis on waste extraction, as demonstrated by the significant increase in the overall strip ratio.
  • Tonnes milled decreased due to the planned higher proportion of fresh ore in the mill feed. 
  • Processed grades increased as a result of higher grade ore from the fresh zones of the North pit and the South pit which were partially offset by lower grade stockpiles used to supplement the plant feed.
  • Recovery rates remained stable at 94%.
• The AISC increased mainly due to higher sustaining capital, royalties and unit G&A costs offset by lower unit mining and processing costs.
  • Mining unit costs decreased from $2.76 to $2.66 per tonne mined despite mining harder ore and normal rainy season impacts, due to the volume effect of increased tonnes mined.
  • Processing unit costs decreased from $8.88 to $8.52 per tonne mainly due to savings in power cost due to lower tonnes milled.  
  • Sustaining capital costs increased from $1.4 million to $3.9 million primarily due to the higher capitalized waste as deferred sustaining capital from H1-2020 was incurred during this quarter.
• Non-sustaining capital remained low, marginally increasing from $0.3 million to $0.4 million.

YTD-2020 vs  YTD-2019 Insights

• As guided, production decreased due to lower grades while tonnage processed and recovery rates remained flat.
• AISC increased as a result of higher unit mining costs, unit processing costs, higher royalties and lower ounces sold which were offset by lower sustaining capital and G&A unit costs.

Q4 and 2020 Outlook

• Production is expected to increase in Q4-2020 over Q3-2020 due to higher processed grades and tonnage. As such, Agbaou is expected to achieve the bottom end of its FY-2020 production guidance range of 115,000—125,000 ounces and the middle of its AISC guidance range of $940—$990 per ounce despite higher royalty costs.
• Mining is expected to continue principally in the North and South pits with contributions from West pit 5 ceasing during the quarter. Throughput is expected to increase following the end of the rainy season while recovery rates are expected to slightly decrease due to greater volumes of harder fresh ore processed.
• Sustaining capital spend for FY-2020 is expected to be below initial guidance of $17.0 million (of which $10.7 million has been incurred to date) due to less capitalized waste, while non-sustaining capital is expected to be in line with the guided $1.0 million (of which $0.9 million has been incurred to date). 

Exploration Activities

• An exploration program of up to $2.0 million was planned for 2020 with the aim of continuing to test targets located along extensions of known deposits and on parallel trends.
• Minimal work was done thus far as Côte d’Ivoire exploration efforts were concentrated on Ity and Fetekro.

BOUNGOU MINE

Q3 2020 vs Q2 2020 Insights

• Production remained flat as increased plant throughput offset the lower-grade mill feed, as higher-grade ore stockpiles were prioritized in the previous quarter.
  • Mining operations restarted in Q3-2020, with activities focused on extracting readily available ore with no drill and blast requirements utilizing a local surface haulage contractor.
  • Tonnes milled increased due to increased mill availability despite a seven day shut for full liner changes in both the SAG Mill and Vertical Tower Mill (“VTM”). The plant feed originated mainly from stockpiled material, which was supplemented by easily accessible high grade ore from the pits. 
  • As expected, the processed grade decreased due to the declining grade profile of the available ore stockpiles.
  • Recovery rates remained flat as the characteristics of the ore milled remained similar to Q2-2020.
• As expected, AISC increased due the processing of lower grade stockpiles and a higher royalty costs.
  • Open pit mining unit costs amounted to $11.7 per tonne, which are relatively high due to the use a surface works contractor with small excavator and trucks on an hourly hire basis to accelerate access to higher grade ore whilst the main contractor mobilized to site. Although not overly productive, this option did bring additional ounces forward into Q3-2020.
  • Processing unit cost decreased from $39.30 to $35.12 per tonne as a result of increased volumes of ore processed, despite being impacted by a seven day shutdown for full liner changes in both the SAG Mill and VTM.
  • Sustaining capital of $0.5 million increased from $0.1 million in Q2-2020 mainly due to planned road maintenance cost.
• Non-sustaining capital of $0.8 million was flat over Q2-2020 with expenditure which relates to infrastructure upgrades and the construction of the air strip.

Q4 and 2020 Outlook

• Production and AISC are expected to improve in Q4-2020 due to the restart of mining operations, and as such Boungou is expected to achieve the top half of its FY-2020 pro forma production guidance of 130,000 – 150,000 ounces at an AISC at the bottom half of the previously guided $680 – 725 per ounce.
• As announced in early September, Endeavour awarded the mining contract to SFTP Mining BF S.A.R.L (“SFTP”), a West African mining contractor, who also provides mining services at Endeavour’s Karma mine. SFTP immediately began to mobilize mining equipment and personnel and, to accelerate the restart, SFTP purchased a some of the on-site fleet from the previous contractor.
• Mining, drilling, and blasting activities have ramped up in early Q4-2020 and are expected to reach the contracted amount of approximately 2.0 million tonnes per month in Q4-2020. During Q4-2020, mining activities are expected to focus on the West pit, while preparing the East pit for grade control drilling in 2021.

Exploration Activities

• In 2020, a $1.0 million exploration program was planned, which comprised 5,000 meters of reverse circulation drilling.
• Exploration activities are expected to resume in Q4-2020, targeting near-mill targets.

HOUNDÉ MINE

Q3 2020 vs Q2 2020 Insights

• Production increased due to higher processed grades which more than offset the slightly lower throughput, while the recovery rate remained consistent with Q2-2020.
  • Total tonnes mined declined by 14% due to the normal rainy season impact, however tonnes of ore mined increased by 15% due to the commencement of mining at Kari Pump. Ore continued to be sourced primarily from the Vindaloo Main, Vindaloo Central and Kari Pump pits and supplemented Bouéré and Vindaloo North pits.
  • Mining activities commenced at the high grade Kari Pump deposit during the quarter, with over 60,000 meters of grade control drilling completed, pre-stripping is well underway and first ore extraction achieved.
  • The strip ratio was lower than guided due to a greater focus on ore extraction from the Vindaloo pits and Kari Pump.
  • Tonnes milled remained flat, despite the rainy season, as oxide ore from Kari Pump offset the impact of greater volumes of fresh ore from Vindaloo.
  • Average processed grades increased due to the benefit of higher grade ore from Vindaloo Main and Vindaloo Central, which was supplemented by high grade Kari Pump ore.
  • Recovery rates remained flat.
• AISC decreased mainly due to a decrease in sustaining capital, lower processing unit costs and slightly higher sales volumes which more than offset higher royalties and higher mining and G&A unit costs.
  • Mining unit costs increased  from $2.15 to $2.74 per tonne due to the impact of the rainy season (lower volumes, more pumping and lower mining and haulage efficiencies), coupled with higher maintenance costs due to timing of planned work, plus higher grade control drilling and drill and blast costs associated with mining greater volumes of Vindaloo fresh ore.     
  • Processing unit costs decreased from $14.31 to $13.11 per tonne, despite the rainy season, as costs were higher in Q2-2020 due to mill liner replacement.
  • Sustaining capital decreased  decreased from $11.1 million to $7.0 million due to lower waste classified as sustaining capital.
• Non-sustaining capital increased from $5.8 million to $7.3 million, higher than initial guidance, with the aim of accelerating the development of the Kari area (more waste extraction, advanced timeline for resettlement, and additional satellite mining infrastructure).

YTD-2020 vs  YTD-2019 Insights

• Production increased due to slightly higher processed tonnes and grades with recovery rates remaining flat. AISC increased due to higher sustaining waste capitalization, higher royalty costs and a shift to mining and processing a higher proportion of harder fresh ore.

Q4 and 2020 Outlook

• Production is expected to significantly improve in Q4-2020 over Q3-2020 due to higher processed grades. Houndé is expected to achieve the top end of its FY-2020 production guidance range of  230,000 – 250,000 ounces and the mid-range of its AISC guidance of  $865—$895 per ounce in light of higher royalty costs.
• Higher grade ore is planned to be processed in Q4-2020 with mill feed from Vindaloo Main and Central supplemented by Kari Pump while mill throughput and recovery rates are expected to remain flat. Greater waste extraction is expected as mining activities continue to ramp up at Kari Pump and as the delayed stripping at Vindaloo is continued.
• Sustaining capital spend for FY-2020 is expected to be significantly below the initial guidance of  $49.0 million (of which $29.9 million has been incurred to date) mainly due to lower volumes of waste extracted during the year which impacts the stripping ratio and thus allocation to capital. Non-sustaining capital spend for FY-2020 is expected to amount to approximately $25.0 million (of which $14.9 million has been incurred to date), higher than the initial guidance of $10.0 million, primarily due to a greater focus on the development of the Kari area including pre-stripping, fencing and infrastructure and resettlement costs for Kari Pump, plus land compensation for the newly discovered Kari West and Centre deposits, which has been brought forward in order to secure that area for mining in 2021.

Exploration

• An exploration program of $11.0 million totaling approximately 94,000 meters was initially planned for 2020, with the aim of delineating additional resources in the Kari area and at the Vindaloo South and Vindaloo North targets. In addition, other targets such as Dohoun and Sia/Sianikoui were expected to be tested.
• In YTD 2020, $17.0 million was spent, comprised of nearly 74,000 meters drilled, with up to 11 rigs active. Over 44,000 meters were drilled for geotechnical and metallurgical purposes at Kari West, Kari Centre and Kari Gap, and sterilization and grade control at Kari Pump. A small reconnaissance drilling campaign at Vindaloo North Target 3, Sianikoui, Mambo and Marzipan was also conducted and yielded positive initial results.
• An updated resource estimate, incorporating 554,000 additional Indicated ounces for the entire Kari area, was published in early Q3-2020.
• Maiden reserves for Kari Center, Gap, South and Pump Northeast are expected in Q1-2021.

ITY MINE

Q3 2020 vs Q2 2020 Insights

• Production decreased slightly as higher throughput and gold recoveries largely offset the lower processed grades. 
  • Total tonnes mined increased significantly (up 18%), despite the rainy season, as additional mining equipment was added in late Q2-2020 with the aim of accelerating the development of several larger pits to provide greater operating flexibility. Mining in Q3-2020 prioritized pit cut-backs at the higher grade Ity and Bakatouo deposits.
  • Tonnes milled increased by 11% due to a higher proportion of oxide material as well as higher mill availability and utilization following completion of plant maintenance during Q2-2020. Two power screens were commissioned in late Q3-2020 which assisted in feeding high moisture oxide content through the surge bin.
  • Processed grade decreased slightly more than guided due to the focus on completing pit cut-backs, which consequently resulted in ore extraction being constrained to lower grade oxide ore available in upper mine areas and lower grade stockpiles supplementing the plant feed.
  • Recovery rates increased as a higher proportion of oxide material was fed through the plant as a result of the change in mining sequence.
• AISC decreased due primarily to the lower strip ratio, an increase in gold sold, higher recovery rates, and lower unit processing costs, which were partially offset by higher unit mining and G&A costs, and higher royalty expenses.
  • Mining unit costs increased from $3.12 to $3.81 per tonne mined due to the higher load and haul cost associated with using ADTs, timing of equipment maintenance costs, increased proportion of fresh material, which required increased drill and blast and the higher costs associated with mining in the rainy season.
  • Processing unit costs decreased from $11.96 to $11.27 per tonne due to a higher proportion of oxide material processed and higher mill throughput.
  • Sustaining capital remained consistent with prior periods at $2.2 million
• Non-sustaining capital decreased from $10.7 million to $3.7 million due to the completion of the Tailings Storage Facility (“TSF”) raise in Q2-2020 and less waste capitalization of the new Colline Sud pit, which was accelerated and largely completed in Q2-2020.

YTD-2020 vs  YTD-2019 Insights

• Production increased as the Ity CIL plant operated for the full nine month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to lesser production time for the same period in 2019 with commercial production declared on April 8, 2019. AISC increased as guided due to increased sustaining capital related to the component change-out associated with heavy mining equipment and higher royalties associated with the higher gold price.

Q4 and 2020 Outlook

• Production is expected to improve in Q4-2020 over Q3-2020 due to higher processed grades. Due to lower than planned Q2-2020 performance (as previously described) and a lower than anticipated Q3-2020 performance (due to the stronger focus on conducting pit cut-backs), Ity’s full year production is expected be below the guidance range of 235,000 – 255,000 ounces and AISC is expected to be above the guidance of $630 – $675 per ounce, which also reflects the higher royalty costs. The short-term compromises made are expected to position Ity for a stronger performance in Q4-2020 and into 2021. Endeavour remains on track to achieve its Group 2020 guidance, as Ity’s performance is expected to be offset by stronger performance across other mines.
• Plant feed in Q4-2020 is expected to be sourced primarily from higher-grade sulfide ore at the Daapleu pit, while continuing to be supplemented by ore from smaller satellite pits and lower grade historic heap dumps. The proportion of higher-grade fresh ore is expected to increase whilst throughput and recovery rates are expected to decline in line with the metallurgical characteristics of Daapleu sulphide ore processed.
• The Tables 14 and 15 below illustrate the various mining activities since operations began in early 2019. In 2020, Daapleu has been the main ore source with contributions from satellite deposits and historical heap leach dumps. Following the completion of the TSF lift in Q2-2020 (brought forward due to the plant volumetric upsize finalized in Q4-2019), mining in Q3-2020 prioritized pit cut-backs at the higher-grade Ity and Bakatouo deposits. Once these cut-backs are completed in 2021, the mine will be better positioned to source ore from several large deposits in order to optimize the plant feed based on metallurgical characteristics, rather than currently being constrained to mainly Daapleu.

• Sustaining capital spend is expected to increase in Q4-2020 due to a stronger focus on accelerating the cut-backs at the Ity and Bakatouo pits. In addition, several plant optimization initiatives have been identified to increase the plant capacity from 5.0Mtpa to 5.6Mtpa with minimal capital spend. These initiatives are expected to commence in Q4-2020 and be completed in 2021 during scheduled maintenance downtimes. Sustaining capital spend is expected to total approximately $13.0 million for FY-2020 (of which $5.7 million has been incurred to date), compared to the initially guided $8.0 million.
• Non-sustaining capital spend for FY-2020 is expected to be in line with the guided amount of approximately $35.0 million (of which $25.4 million has been incurred to date) with Q4 activity primarily related to the commencement of the TSF lift 3, Le Plaque haul road and compensation, river diversions and the Ity pit cut-back.

Exploration Activities

• An exploration program of up to $14.0 million totaling approximately 100,000 meters was initially planned for 2020, with the aim of growing the Le Plaque, Bakatouo, and Daapleu deposits, and testing other targets such as Floleu and Samuel.
• In YTD-2020, $13 million was spent, comprised of over 85,000 meters drilled, with eight rigs active over the greater Ity area. The majority of drilling was focused on the Le Plaque area and on near-mill targets such as Verse West and Leach pad and Daapleu SW. 
• As announced on July 7, 2020, drilling has resulted in a 43% increase in Le Plaque’s Indicated resource estimate to 689,000 ounces. In addition, several other nearby targets have also been identified. At least 15,000 meters of drilling aimed at testing Le Plaque extensions and other nearby targets are planned for the remainder of 2020.

KARMA MINE

Q3 2020 vs Q2 2020 Insights

• Production increased due to the recovery of some of the gold locked up in the heap during the previous quarter, which offset the lower grade, recovery rate and tonnage stacked.
  • Total tonnes mined decreased by 9% due to the slowdown caused by the rainy season. Ore tonnes mined decreased by 22% due to the higher strip ratio associated with both the Kao North and GG1 pits. 
  • Ore tonnes stacked decreased due to the lower capacity to stack the wet oxide ore during the rainy season (similar overall utilization as Q2-2020 though lower average throughput rate).
  • The stacked grade decreased due to a higher proportion of lower grade ore from the GG1 pit and low grade stockpiles used to supplement the stacked ore.
  • Recovery rates decreased due to the leach characteristics of the high proportion of GG1 ore stacked.
• AISC increased mainly due to higher unit processing costs and royalties, which were partially offset by lower unit mining costs and sustaining capital.
  • Mining unit costs decreased from $2.38 to $2.15 per tonne due to mining efficiencies with the new mining contractor.
  • Processing unit costs increased from $6.56 to $7.43 per tonne due to higher use of cyanide and cement associated with the larger proportion of GG1 ore stacked.
  • Sustaining capital costs decreased from $2.0 million to $1.5 million due to decreased capitalized waste at the Kao North pit.
• Non-sustaining capital spend decreased from $3.8 million to $1.7 million.

YTD-2020 vs  YTD-2019 Insights

• As guided, production increased due to the higher throughput rate associated with the upgrades to the stacking system.
• AISC decreased as a result of lower unit processing and G&A costs, a lower strip ratio  and an increase in ounces sold.

Q4 and 2020 Outlook

• Production is expected to increase slightly in Q4-2020 over Q3-2020 due to an increased stacked tonnage following the end of the rainy season, however FY-2020 production is expected to be slightly below the guidance range of 100,000 – 110,000 ounces. Despite higher royalty costs, Karma is expected to achieve the mid-range of AISC FY-2020 guidance of $980 – $1,050 per ounce.
• Mining activity is expected to continue at the Kao North pit and GG1 throughout the remainder of the year. Ore stacked grades are expected to be consistent with those seen in Q3-2020 as low grade stockpiles continue to supplement the ore stacked.
• Sustaining capital spend for FY-2020 is expected to be below the guided amount of approximately $9.0 million (of which $4.2 million has been incurred YTD-2020).
• Non-sustaining capital spend for FY-2020 is expected to be in line with guidance of approximately $9.0 million (of which all $7.6 million has been incurred YTD-2020).

Exploration Activities

• An exploration program of up to $2.0 million was planned for 2020 with the aim of in-fill drilling and testing extensions of known deposits. 
• Minimal work has been done thus far in 2020 as Burkina Faso exploration efforts were focused on the numerous Houndé exploration targets. 

MANA MINE

Q3 2020 vs Q2 2020 Insights

• Production increased significantly due to higher processed grades (following stronger underground production and mining of the final open pit benches at Siou), greater throughput and higher recovery rates.
  • Total tonnes mined from the open pit operations increased by 38% due to an increase in availability of mining and drilling equipment, which also resulted in an increase in ore extraction by 19% despite the higher strip ratio. Ore extraction focused on the Siou and Wona pits, while pre-stripping activities were conducted at the Wona pit.
  • Tonnes of ore mined from the underground operation increased by 43% as Q2-2020 activities were impacted by a temporary halt to underground operations as a result of the implementation of preventive COVID-19 measures. 
  • Ore tonnes processed increased, despite the higher proportion of fresh blend in the feed, as Q2-2020 was impacted by a shortage of mill feed due to the halt to underground mining operations and mill downtime following a quarantine period associated with changing rosters for COVID.
  • The processed grade increased due higher underground and open pit mined grades, while lower grade stockpiles supplemented Q2-2020 feed. 
  • Recovery rates increased due to the higher proportion of ore feed from the underground operation which has higher associated recovery rates.
• AISC decreased due to higher gold sales and lower underground and open pit unit mining costs which more than offset the higher gold royalties.
  • Open pit mining unit costs decreased from $4.50 to $3.67 per tonne due to an increase in volumes mined and higher equipment availability which increased efficiencies.
  • Underground unit mining costs per tonne moved decreased from $58.8 to $47.1 per tonne due to the increase in volumes mined.
  • Processing unit costs remained flat at $21.54 per tonne as the benefit of greater volumes processed was offset by larger quantities of fresh ore.
  • Sustaining capital decreased from $11.9 million to $4.8 million, less than guided, due to lower underground development costs and less waste classified as sustaining capital.
• Non-sustaining capital increased from $0.5 million to $9.9 million, more than guided, due to the stronger focus on conducting pre-stripping activities at Wona North Stage 4 pit.

Q4 and 2020 Outlook

• Mana’s pro forma production is expected to achieve the top half of FY-2020 production guidance range of 185,000 – 205,000 ounces and the mid-range of pro forma AISC guidance of $1,050 – $1,125 per ounce despite higher royalty costs.
• Following a stronger Q3-2020, production is expected to be lower in Q4-2020 with the completion of the Siou open pit and higher proportion of ore from Wona, while throughput and recoveries are expected to decline slightly due to this expected change in the ore blend.
• Sustaining capital spend is expected to increase slightly in Q4-2020, however is expected to be significantly below the initially guided FY-2020 amount of $70.0 million on a pro forma basis (of which $33.8 million has been incurred to date) due to a greater focus on non-sustaining underground development and pre-stripping activity at Wona. Consequently, non-sustaining capital spend is expected to increase in Q4-2020 and to approximately $25.0 million for FY-2020 on a pro forma basis (of which $10.0 million has been incurred to date), higher than the initial guidance of $2.0 million which is however offset by the lower expected sustaining capital spend.

Exploration Activities

• In 2020, a pro forma $3.0 million budget was established to follow up targets identified by geological review with minimal work completed thus far and $1.0 million spent year to date.
• In Q3-2020, a total of over 4,000 meters of underground drilling was conducted with the aim of infill drilling a portion of the Inferred material at the southern end of the Siou underground deposit.
• In Q4-2020, reconnaissance drill programs of 27,000 meters RC and 8,000 meters core will commence, designed to evaluate northeast continuations of oxide mineralization at both the Kona (immediately north of Wona) and Siou open pits. In addition, a surface drill program of 15,000 meters is planned to evaluate continuations of underground high grade ore shoots at the northeast and southwest ends of the Siou deposit.

FETEKRO PROJECT UPDATE

• While the main focus for 2020 is on cash flow generation, Endeavour is continuing to build optionality within its portfolio by progressing exploration and studies in its project pipeline.
• During the quarter, Endeavour announced a 108% increase in Indicated resources to 2.5Moz at an average grade of 2.40 g/t Au for its Fetekro Project in Côte d’Ivoire. Within the same announcement, Endeavour also presented the results from a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) at Fetekro, based on the previously announced 1.2Moz Indicated resource and a 1.5Mtpa gravity/CIL plant, which demonstrated robust project economics as shown in Table 20 below.

Table 20: PEA Highlights

	Total Life of Mine
Gold contained processed	1.0Moz
Average recovery rate	95%
Gold production	0.95Moz
Cash costs	$592/oz
AISC	$697/oz
Upfront capital cost	$268m
Pre-tax NPV5% based $1,500/oz	$372m
Pre-tax IRR based $1,500/oz	37%

• While progressing on engineering design work, Endeavour recently received confirmation that no further infill drilling or metallurgical testing are required for the reserve estimation process. As such, rather than publishing an updated PEA in Q4-2020, Endeavour has decided to fast track Fetekro to Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) stage, which is targeted for completion in Q1-2021.
• The PFS will be based on the updated 2.5Moz Indicated resource (compared to 1.0Moz for the PEA) and will define a production scenario based on a 3.0Mtpa mill throughput (compared to 1.5Mtpa for the PEA). Given its strong exploration potential, Endeavour believes that Fetekro has the potential to become a cornerstone asset with a target of +200koz per annum over 10 years at low AISC.
• In order to meet the Q1-2021 PFS delivery date, and given the expected strong results, Endeavour is currently prioritizing efforts during the following months on Fetekro over other projects within its pipeline.
• At least 15,000 meters of drilling aimed at extending the Fetekro resource and testing nearby targets are planned in Q4-2020.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

• The YTD-2020 Group consolidated exploration spend was $44 million, inclusive of approximately $4.0 million of costs related to geotechnical studies, metallurgical testing and grade control drilling. Details by asset are provided in the mine sections above. 
• A total of 234,866 meters were drilled during YTD-2020, with the majority conducted in H1-2020 ahead of the rainy season. The main areas of focus were Houndé and Ity near-mine exploration, aimed at extending their mine lives to beyond 10 years, and Fetekro with the aim adding optionality to Endeavour’s project pipeline. In addition, the greenfield program includes a 5,000-meter drilling campaign on the Tanda/Bondoukou property in Côte d’Ivoire, which has yielded positive results. 
• The exploration budget was increased by $5.0 million to $45.0-$50.0 million post the acquisition of SEMAFO, with exploration efforts on the newly acquired assets ramping up in Q4-2020.

NOTES:

1. Gold sales increased by 95koz in Q3-2020 compared to Q2-2020 as a result of increased sales across all mines in addition to contributions from the Mana and Boungou mines, which were acquired on July 1, 2020. Gold sales increased in YTD-2020 compared to YTD-2019 due to higher production at Houndé, Karma and Ity (which was commissioned in Q2-2019), in addition to the newly acquired Mana and Boungou mines.
2. The realized gold price for YTD-2020 was $1,714/oz compared to $1,338/oz for YTD-2019, inclusive of the Karma stream and short term gold contracts. The Karma stream amounted to 5,000 ounces sold in Q3-2020 and 15,000 ounces sold in YTD-2020 at 20% of spot prices. The short term gold contracts, amounted to 74,839 ounces in Q3-2020 at $1,796/oz, and 124,235 ounces for YTD-2020 at an average price of $1,762/oz. The Company has no further gold hedges outstanding.
3. Royalties increased from $119/oz in Q2-2020 to $125/oz in Q3-2020. The YTD-2020 royalty rate was $116/oz, up by $44/oz on YTD-2019, due to both the higher realized gold price and an increase in the underlying royalty rate based on the applicable sliding scale (above a spot gold price of $1,300/oz, government royalty rates in Burkina Faso increase from 4.0% to 5.0%, and above a spot gold price of $1,600/oz rates increase from 4% to 5% in Côte d’Ivoire).
4. As shown in the table below, the sustaining capital expenditure from existing mines decreased slightly for Q3-2020 over Q2-2020 due to an increase at Agbaou, which was more than offset by a decrease at Houndé, while Ity and Karma remained flat. The sustaining capital expenditure from existing mines for YTD-2020 increased compared to the corresponding period of 2019 due to scheduled waste capitalization at Houndé and Ity. Further details by asset are provided in the above mine sections.

1. The All-In Sustaining Margin from existing mines for Q3-2020 and YTD-2020 increased by $25 million and $115 million respectively, as a result of the higher realized gold price and increase in gold sales (described in Notes 1 and 2) which was partially offset by higher cash costs, royalties, and higher mine sustaining capital spend (specifically during H1-2020). The newly acquired SEMAFO assets significantly contributed to the consolidated All-In Sustaining Margin for Q3-2020, with $107 million on a combined basis.

6. As shown in the table below, the non-sustaining capital expenditure from existing mines decreased significantly for Q3-2020  over Q2-2020 mainly due to a sharp decrease at Ity. The non-sustaining capital spend from existing mines for YTD-2020 increased compared to the corresponding period of 2019, mainly due to the TSF raise and waste capitalization at Ity and waste capitalization and resettlement costs for the Kari Pump area at Houndé, while spend decreased at Agbaou and Karma. Further details by asset are provided in the above mine sections.

7. The non-sustaining exploration capital spend for YTD-2020 continued to remain high, in line with Endeavour’s strategic objective of unlocking exploration value through its aggressive drilling campaign. Spend in Q3-2020 decreased as the majority of the exploration work planned for FY-2020 was conducted in H1-2020, ahead of the rainy season.

10. The interest paid, financing fees and lease repayments increased in Q3-2020 compared to Q2-2020 as the convertible notes coupon is payable during the first and third quarters. The amount for YTD-2020 increased slightly compared to the corresponding period of YTD-2019 mainly due to interest payment on equipment leases at Ity, as well as the interest accrued from the $120.0m drawn from the RCF during Q2-2020 which was subsequently repaid in Q3-2020.
11. Cash settlements on hedge programs for YTD-2020 includes a $32 million realized loss on gold collar, and an inflow of $7 million related to short-term forward sales in YTD-2020. The collar expired at the end of June 2020 with the final payment on the collar  in early Q3-2020.
12. Growth project spend decreased from $92 million in YTD-2019 to $4 million in YTD-2020 as the Ity CIL plant was completed in Q1-2019. The amount for YTD-2020 of $4 million relates mainly to the Kalana project.
13. M&A, restructuring and asset sale activities in Q3-2020 includes $19 million in acquisition and restructuring costs.  YTD-2020 includes an inflow $12 million related to the sale of mining equipment spare parts to the contract miner at Karma, which was offset by a $5 million payment for the additional interest in Ity Mine and $26 million in acquisition and restructuring costs.
14. Represents the cash acquired through the SEMAFO acquisition.
15. In Q3-2020, net proceeds of $100 million were received from the La Mancha investment, who exercised its anti-dilution right in support of the SEMAFO acquisition.
16. Relates to the reimbursement received from a mining contractor, which was previously capitalized as part of Karma plant expenditures.
17. $120 million was drawn on the RCF as a proactive measure in Q1-2020 to secure the Company’s liquidity as part of its COVID-19 business continuity program. In Q3-2020, a repayment of $150 million was made.

NOTES:

18. In Q3-2020, net cash flow from operating activities increased by $144 million compared to Q2-2020 mainly due to the consolidation of the SEMAFO assets, higher gold sales from the Company’s existing assets and higher realized gold price which were partially offset by higher royalties, cash costs, taxes and acquisition and restructuring costs. The Q3-2020 figure also includes a $22 million reimbursement received from a mining contractor, which was previously capitalized as part of Karma plant expenditures.
    Net cash flow from operating activities for YTD-2020 was $385 million, up $204 million compared to YTD-2019. The increase was mainly driven by a $367 million increase in revenues (due to SEMAFO acquisition, Ity CIL commissioning in Q2-2019, and a realized higher gold price), a $6 million decrease in exploration costs, a $10 million decrease in taxes paid, and a $2 million decrease in corporate costs. These items were partially offset by a $91 million increase in cash costs, a $33 million increase in royalty costs, $26 million in acquisition and restructuring costs and a $29 million increase in settlements related to the gold collar.
19. Net cash used in investing activities for Q3-2020 included an inflow of $93 million as result of the cash acquired as part of the SEMAFO acquisition, while expenditures on mining interests increased due to the larger portfolio of assets.
    Net cash used in investing activities for YTD-2020 amounted to $64 million, down $148 million compared to YTD-2019, due to a decrease in growth spend as the Ity CIL construction was completed in Q1-2019. Also included in the YTD-2020 number is $12 million of proceeds for the sale of the fleet at Karma and associated spares, as part of the shift to contractor mining, and a $5 million payment for the increased Ity ownership (contingent consideration based on ounces discovered).
20. Net cash generated in financing activities for YTD-2020 was $9 million, which is inclusive of the proceeds from the $100 million La Mancha investment as part of the SEMAFO acquisition. In Q1-2020, as a precaution relating to the COVD-19 pandemic, $120 million was drawdown on the RCF, which was repaid in Q3-2020 along with the SEMAFO Macquarie loan facility of $30 million. The YTD-2020 financing activity movement also includes interest payments of $28 million and repayments of $30 million on finance lease obligations.
21. At quarter-end, Endeavour’s liquidity remained strong with $523 million of cash on hand and $120 million undrawn on the RCF.
22. The equipment finance lease obligations decreased in Q3-2020 due to scheduled lease payments.
23. In 2018, Endeavour issued a $330 million convertible note, maturing in February 2023.
24. The $120 million drawdown made in Q1-2020 was reimbursed in Q3-2020.
25. Net Debt amounted to $175 million at quarter-end, a decrease of $433 million compared to the corresponding period in 2019. The leverage ratio, Net Debt / Consolidated adj. EBITDA (based on last twelve month), sharply improved over the quarter, decreasing from 1.00 times to 0.29 times. Based on annualizing the Q3 adj. EBITDA, which may be considered as a more relevant metric given that the SEMAFO transaction closed on July 1, 2020, the ratio stands at 0.17 times.

OPERATING CASH FLOW PER SHARE

• Operating cash flow amounted to a record $202 million in Q3-2020 (or $1.24 per share outstanding), an increase of $144 million compared to Q2-2020 mainly driven by increased production and a higher realized gold price.
• Operating cash flow increased by $204 million in YTD-2020 compared to YTD-2019, amounting to $385 million or $3.00 per share in total. Further insights have been provided in Note 18 above.

• Operating cash flow before non-cash working capital for Q3-2020 amounted to a record $223 million (or a record $1.37 per share) in Q3-2020 due to the stronger performance across Endeavour’s assets and the accretive nature of the SEMAFO transaction. The increase of $137 million over Q2-2020, is further explained in note 19 above.
• Operating cash flow before non-cash working capital increased by $210 million in YTD-2020 compared to YTD-2019, amounting to $427 million or $3.33 per share.

Operating Cash Flow Per Share is a Non-GAAP measure. For a discussion regarding the Company’s use of Non-GAAP Measures, please see “note regarding certain measures of performance” in the MD&A.

ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

• Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to shareholders amounted to $72 million in Q3-2020 (or $0.44 per share), an increase of $20 million compared to Q2-2020 despite a $80 million increase in depreciation (associated to the inclusion of SEMAFO assets and its purchase price allocation) and despite a $66 million increase in income tax expense. 
• Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to shareholders amounted to $159 million in YTD-2020 (or $1.24 per share), an increase of $122 million compared to YTD-2019 due to the benefit of higher production at a higher realized gold price and the consolidation of the SEMAFO assets.
• Adjustments made in Q3-2020 and YTD-2020 relate mainly to the loss on financial instruments, deferred income tax, share based compensation, and acquisition and restructuring costs.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This news release contains “forward-looking statements” including but not limited to, statements with respect to Endeavour’s plans and operating performance, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of future production, future capital expenditures, and the success of exploration activities. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “expects”, “expected”, “budgeted”, “forecasts”, and “anticipates”. Forward-looking statements, while based on management’s best estimates and assumptions, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: risks related to the successful integration of acquisitions; risks related to international operations; risks related to general economic conditions and credit availability, actual results of current exploration activities, unanticipated reclamation expenses; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; fluctuations in prices of metals including gold; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, increases in market prices of mining consumables, possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes, title disputes, claims and limitations on insurance coverage and other risks of the mining industry; delays in the completion of development or construction activities, changes in national and local government regulation of mining operations, tax rules and regulations, and political and economic developments in countries in which Endeavour operates. Although Endeavour has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Please refer to Endeavour’s most recent Annual Information Form filed under its profile at www.sedar.com for further information respecting the risks affecting Endeavour and its business. AISC, all-in sustaining costs at the mine level, cash costs, operating EBITDA, all-in sustaining margin, free cash flow, net free cash flow, free cash flow per share, net debt, and adjusted earnings are non-GAAP financial performance measures with no standard meaning under IFRS, further discussed in the section Non-GAAP Measures in the most recently filed Management Discussion and Analysis.

The declaration and payment of future dividends and the amount of any such dividends will be subject to the determination of the Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, taking into account, among other things economic conditions, business performance, financial condition, growth plans, expected capital requirements, compliance with the Company’s constating documents, all applicable laws, including the rules and policies of any applicable stock exchange, as well as any contractual restrictions on such dividends, including any agreements entered into with lenders to the Company, and any other factors that the Board of Directors deems appropriate at the relevant time. There can be no assurance that any dividends will be paid at the intended rate or at all in the future.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

Some of the indicators used by Endeavour in this press release represent non-IFRS financial measures. These measures are presented as they can provide useful information to assist investors with their evaluation of the pro forma performance. Since the non-IFRS performance measures presented in the below sections do not have any standardized definition prescribed by IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, they are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS financial performance measures are defined below and reconciled to reported IFRS measures.

Endeavour believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors may find that the total cash cost per ounce sold provided useful information to assist investors with their evaluation of performance and ability to generate cash flow from its operations.

All-in sustaining cost represents the total cash cost plus sustainable capital expenditures and stripping costs presented per ounce sold. Endeavour believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors may find that the all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold better meets their needs by assessing its operating performance and its ability to generate free cash flow.
