07:45 AM EST, 12/17/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Endeavour Silver ( EXK ) shares dropped 1% at last look Tuesday in NYSE pre-market trading as it reported the successful fabrication and installation of its primary ball mill trunnion at the Guanacevi mine in Mexico.

The company said processing operations resumed to full capacity of 1,200 tonnes per day this week after the trunnion failure in August.

The total cost of fabrication and installation was just over US$400,000, Endeavour said.

"We are happy to be back to full capacity at the Guanacevi mine," CEO Dan Dickson said. "Finding alternatives for the plant to continue to operate at reduced capacity minimized the financial and social impact on the Company and the surrounding communities."
