Disclaimer & Forward Looking Statements
Cash cost per ounce and all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce are non-GAAP
performance measures with no standard meaning under IFRS. This
presentation 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.
Adriaan “Attie” Roux, Pr.Sci.Nat, Endeavour’s Chief Operating Officer, is a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this presentation.

UNLOCK EXPLORATION VALUE
Exploration Strategic Review Output: Ranking of Potential
• Significant success over the last 4 years
• Significant amount of data available
• Many known targets based on geochem and auger results
• Exploration stopped once project reached critical size to make investment decision
• Many known targets and historical drill data
• On same trend as Randgold
• Limited exploration expenses have caused mine life to be short
• New discoveries made in 2016 with strong targets for 2017+
• Has same reserves as when production started in 2014 despite limited exploration (mainly focused on converting inferred)
• Focus on pit extensions and parallel trends
• Targets backed by geochem anomolies
• Previously owned by junior with lack of fund for exploration
• North Kao already added 2.5 years of mine life
• Many near mill targets
• One of the largest exploration tenements in the country
• Several advanced exploration targets based on historic results

Q4-2016 Insights
• Record performance in Q4:
‒ Benefit from the end of the rainy season
‒ Greater mix of higher grade transitional ore, which represented 15% of total ore processed
2017 Outlook
• The secondary crusher (commissioned in mid-2016) provides the flexibility to process higher grade transitional ore while maintaining a fairly constant ore blend and throughput over the remaining life of mine
• After achieving an exceptional year, Agbaouis expected to return to a more normalized and sustainable production rate of 175-180koz in 2017 with fresh ore representing up to 50% of tonnes processed
• AISC are expected to remain competitive, at $660-700/oz, as higher grade transitional ore is expected to compensate for increased unit costs and lower throughput

Agbaou Exploration
• The ongoing exploration campaign, which commenced in April 2016 based on previous geophysics and soil geochemistry results, is focused on:
‒ North pit and South pit extensions,
‒ Agbaou South target
‒ Niafouta target
‒ Generating targets beyond the current resource boundaries.
• Initial drill results suggest the extension of mineralized zones
• An exploration budget of $7 million has been planned for 2017, totaling approximately 45,000 meters of drilling

Agbaou – Exploration Potential
• 2013-2015 : Successful Drilling limited to infill drilling and immediate trend extension to renew resources and compensate for reserves depletion. As such, no preparation of future targets was done (nearly no inferred left)
• Current drill program is focused on new targets and definition of new inferred resources to be converted in 2017/2018 into indicated resources & reserves
• Known targets on the Agbaou Exploitation license have the potential to replace the production for a few additional years
• A brownfield exploration campaign of targets located in Agbaou Exploration License (at less than 20 km of the Agbaou mill) has started in 2016. Any new deposit discovered on this license also has the potential to further extend the mine life
Targeting discovery of between 0.5 to 1.5 Moz at an average cost of $25/oz over the next 5 years with a budget of ~$25M to extend mine life to 10 years*
*Targeting to discover between 0.5 to 1.5 Moz with average grade between 2 and 3 g/t Au. The potential quantity of ounces is conceptual in nature since there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and since it is uncertain if exploration will result in the targets being delineated as a mineral resource.

• Main focus is on finding new additional open pit resources within a short distance to the Tabakoto mill within within18 to 24 months to replace Kofi C and further Kofi B/A Linear/ Betea production while pursuing exploration near Kofi C/B/A
• Aggressive Tabakoto surface exploration was initiated at mid-2016 (Ongoing Kreko and Fougala trend exploration)
• Ongoing large exploration program over Kofi Blocks
• Due to its “on trend” position with Loulo type deposits, we will be targeting a new large discovery in Kofi North, along this trend with the potential be a standalone operation since it is located more than 40 km away from Tabakoto facilities
• While proven continuation at-depth, a prudent evaluation of the underground potential as been set at 200-300koz for the next 2-3 years. Afterwards, although mineralizations continue at depth, additional exploration will be based on economic viability of the production

• Numerous high Potential targets have been identified within the Greater Ity area
• The whole controlled 80 km trend will be covered by an airborne geophysical surveyfor target generation in late 2016 (Mag/Spectro/VTEM ~700 Km2)
• The exploration blocks contiguous with Ity Exploitation license have the potentialfor multi-millions ounce deposits or group of deposits which may constitute futurestand alone operations (heap leach and or CIL)
• While Endeavour controls some 700 km² of Birimian grounds with similar geologyaround Ity, the targeted new ounces only represent the same number of ouncesthat have been already produced and discovered over the 35 km² of the minepresent footprint.

NORTH KAO RESERVE CONVERSION EXTENDED MINE
LIFE TO +10 YEARS
57CREATING A PREMIER AFRICAN GOLD PRODUCER
• North Kao infill drilling confirms the continuity of the previous inferred resource and improves the grade profile
• 314koz of resources amenable to heap leach processing converted to indicated status
• Indicated resource grade up 53% over the previous inferred grade to 1.22 g/t Au
• 262koz were subsequently converted to reserves, extending Karma’s mine life to beyond 10 years
• The North Kao mineralized structure remains open to the north and the potential exists for additional sub-parallel zones

Karma - Exploration
• In 2017, a $4 million exploration program totaling approximately 30,000 meters has been planned to drill near-mill targets such as Rambo West and Yabonsgo
• Beyond North Kao resource drilling, other exploration targets have potential to add up to 5 additional years of mine life with still on-going evaluations

• New geological understanding and mapping in less than 6 months
• North Kao already added 2.5 year of mine life
• Near mine “higher” grades targets to be drilled in 2017 (Yabongso andRambo West)
• Still ongoing evaluation and ranking of all exploration targets
• Beyond North Kao resource drilling, other exploration targets havepotential to add up to 5 additional years of mine life with still on-going evaluations
Targeting discovery of between 0.5 to 1.0 Moz at an average cost of $20/oz over the next 5 years with a budget of ~$15M to extend mine life to 15 years*
*Targeting to discover between 0.5 to 1.0 Moz with average grade between 1.0 and 1.5 g/t Au. The potential quantity of ounces is conceptual in nature since there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and since it is uncertain if exploration will result in the targets being delineated as a mineral resource.

Houndé Construction is progressing on-time and on-budget
Significant achievements to date:
Construction is progressing as planned, with over 50% completed byyear-end
Over 2 million man-hours have been worked without LTI
The 38km long, 91kv overhead power line construction is 52%complete. First power from Sonobel is scheduled for August 2017.
Open pit pre-strip mining at the Main Vindaloo open pit, adjacentthe processing facility, commenced in late 2016.
Detailed engineering of the processing facility along with the designHAZOP has been completed, also ahead of schedule in November2016.
CIL ring beam concrete pour was achieved in early August 2016, andthe SAG and Ball Mill first lift on both plinths was completed byyear-end.
The construction of the water harvest dam decant tower iscomplete, with water already being pumped to the water storagedam two months ahead of schedule.
Construction of the 300-person permanent accommodation villageis approaching completion.
Over 2,000 personnel including contractors are currently employedon-site, more than 94% of which are Burkinabe.
Full back-up 26Mw backup power station has been awarded to JADelmas. This is on schedule to be operational in Q3-2017.
The land compensation process has been successfully completedwith resettlement commencing in early 2017.

Houndé Exploration Upside
65
• The Houndé exploration tenement covers +1,075km² within Burkina Faso’s highly prospective Birimian belt
• Historically, exploration focus mainly on the Vindaloo trends
• At least 15 other significant targets were identified by previous limited drilling campaigns but remain largely untested
– All located within 20km from the planned mill
– High grade targets (+5g/t) will be explored in priority
• Following a two year period of no drilling exploration, activities will resume in 2017 with a $5 million program totaling approximately 45,000 meters.

Houndé Exploration – Burkina Faso
• Our Houndé exploration portfolio is located within one of the most prospective areas of theBirimian greenstone belt of Burkina Faso
• Historical exploration already proved the occurrence of multiple major mineralized trends ofVindaloo type within these licences
• At least 15 significant targets were partially tested by previous drilling, and the majority ofthem remain undeveloped
• All defined exploration targets are located within a 20 km radius of the Houndé mill
• The high grade targets (Bouere, 5 to 6g/t and Kari Pump) will be developed as a priority in2017
Targeting discovery of between 2.5 to 3.5 Moz at an average cost of $15/oz over the next 5 years with a budget of ~$45M to extend mine life to +15 years*
*Targeting to discover between 2.5 to 3.5 Moz with average grade between 1.8 and 2.5 g/t Au. The potential quantity of ounces is conceptual in nature since there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and since it is uncertain if exploration will result in the targets being delineated as a mineral resource.

Proceeds from Gold Option Contracts (US$) (net of premium cost)
• Gold Option Contracts aim to increase the certainty of the free cash flow during the construction period
Objective of using free cash flow rather than Revolving Credit Facility
Significantly reduces debt requirements, even if the gold price drops to US$1,000/oz
• Gold Option Contracts applied to 400koz, representing ~50% of Endeavour’s expected production over 15 months, (Apr 2016-Jun 2017)
Protect 50% of production below $1,200/oz
Fully exposed between 1,200 and $1,400/oz
Upside beyond $1,400/oz on 50% of production
• Full exposure to the gold price once project is built
• As at June 30, 2016, 320,000 ounces remain outstanding

Short Mine Lives Due To Lack of Exploration, Not Potential!
It is estimated that EDV should have spent at least $10m/year more in exploration in the previous years to support resource replacement and to be in line with peers
Exploration spend, $m/yearExploration spend, $/oz producedAverage Mine Life of operating assets
Endeavour spent less than peers on exploration… … As a result it suffers from shorter mine lives

2014 20152013‒ Previous 3 years focused on replacing depletion/production by drilling in-mine or near-mine already existing inferred resources for conversion to indicated and subsequent reserves
‒ Insufficient exploration investment previous 3 years to support inferred resources renewal
‒ Re-launching near-mine and brownfield exploration to define new inferred resources and bring them to Indicated/reserve status

Methodic and Exhaustive Review to Quantify and Rank Potential
• Visit to all sites with Exploration Managers/Chef-Senior Geologists, EDV experts
• 6 months detailed review of all past exploration, synthesis of all available and validated data in database
• All Geochem (Stream and Soil), all geophysics (air and ground)
• All Geological and Structural data (Outcrops, cores, Maps, regolith, structures, artisanal mining)
• All Drilling (Auger, RC, DD, Geotech) , logs and analytic results
• 130+ Targets screened through multi-criteria analysis of all data to identify and support exploration targets for evaluation
• All targets referenced and classified according to :
– Current state of project knowledge (from grassroot to development)
– Quality of supporting data (drilling, available nearby analogs, structural trends, favorable geology, etc.)
– Distance to producing facilities:
• Mine Exploration then Near Mine exploration within a 5 km radius from facilities
• Brownfield Exploration between 5 and 15 km from facilities
• Greenfield Exploration for over 15/20 km from facilities (tentative stand alone future projects, or feeding the facilities if high grade)
– Geological framework, mineralization type, mineability, exploration game changer
• All targets characterized by a minimum-maximum and mean size of tentative deposit (length, width, depth), including estimated average grade when calibration is available
• Selection of the 30% (40) most significant targets over the full portfolio in term of localization, mean size, and nearby upside (possible clusters), all gathered per relevant PE (Exploration Permit)or PEX (Exploitation permit)
82
Further Selection, Ranking and Risk Evaluation
• Each selected target (~40) was risked and characterized by a Probability of Occurrence (POO), based on geological confidence/structural understanding/ type of expected mineralization/existing positive intercepts/trend extension, strong and coherent gold in soil and Auger anomalies
– POO 0.8 to 1: Very high confidence (some Mine and Near Mine Exploration or already Identified /tested targets)
– POO 0.6 : Probable deposit, with a size and grade distribution according to prognosis (Oz and average grade)
– POO 0.4: Less than average Probability of Occurrence, kept in the planning due to its possible size (High Risk- High Reward type) or due to its short distance to mine
• All selected exploration targets were set within a 5 year window, according to mine priorities, permit duration, requested exploration efforts, and budget
• All selected targets characterized with:
– The required drilling amount/yearly budgets and the related timing of Indicated resource definition
– Proposed yearly budgets include estimated manpower, drilling, analysis, support, geophysics, geochem, etc
– A 2017-2021 required risked exploration spending necessary to discover the targeted risked mean indicated Oz per target
