- El Cubo is a high-grade, epithermal-vein, underground precious metals mine that has been in operation for almost 200 years.
- From 2012-2019 Endeavour Silver produced 12M ounces of silver and 144,000 ounces of gold from El Cubo.
- Capacity: 45,000 tonnes per month.
The Centrepiece of a Hub & Spoke Mining Strategy.

- El Cubo Mill and Processing Complex.
- Major upgrades completed in 2012 and 2021 (~US$30M in total).
- Processing uses conventional crushing, grinding, flotation and silver-gold concentrate filtration.

Mineralization
- Classic high-grade, silver and gold epithermal vein system.
- Vein mineralization is normally 1-2 meters wide with mineralized breccia zones of up to 10 meters wide.
- Economic concentrations of silver and gold exist as shoots.
- Several high-grade transverse veins also exist at El Cubo, such as at the Santa Cecilia mine.
- GSilver will mine using a narrow 1.4 meter minimum vein cut-off; this will generate less dilution, less waste, less tailing and less cost per ounce produced.
- The mining method is primarily cut & fill with some resue mining, which allows for selective, non-dilutive mining that focuses on the vein itself.
