¹All amounts include Teranga assets from 10 February, 2021 ²This is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the non-GAAP measure section of the Management Report. ³From Continuing Operations excludes the Agbaou mine which was divested on 1 March, 2021. ⁴LTM means last twelve months.

Sebastien de Montessus, President and CEO, commented: “Our strong Q2 performance positions us well to achieve the top half of our production guidance for the full year, as all our mines are continuing to perform well and we have quickly integrated the Teranga assets within our business.

Our strong free cash flow generation has significantly improved our balance sheet strength and bolstered our ability to reward shareholders. We paid our first dividend of $60 million in Q1 for the 2020 fiscal year, and today we are declaring an interim dividend of $70 million for H1-2021, placing us on track to deliver more than the guided minimum dividend of $125 million for the full year. Given our near zero Net Debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio, we have been supplementing our shareholder return programme with share buybacks, having repurchased $70 million of shares since April.

Our growth pipeline continues to develop with the Sabodala-Massawa phase 1 expansion on track to be completed in Q4-2021 while Definitive Feasibility Studies are progressing well for the Sabodala-Massawa Phase 2 expansion, Fetekro, and Kalana projects.

We have enjoyed further exploration success, with significant discoveries made at Ity, Houndé, Sabodala-Massawa and Fetekro, where updated resources are expected to be published later this year. Overall, the group is on track to delineate over 2.5 million ounces of Indicated resources in 2021, which represents significantly more than the expected annual depletion and contributes to our portfolio’s longevity.

We are also very pleased to have successfully completed our listing on the premium-segment of the London Stock Exchange in June and remain on track to be included into the UK and European indexes.

These achievements leave Endeavour well positioned for the remainder of the year and beyond.”

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING

• Endeavour’s premium listing on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) was successfully completed on 14 June 2021, positioning Endeavour as the largest pure-play gold producer listed on the premium segment of the LSE.
• Endeavour is well positioned to be included in the upcoming FTSE Russell index quarterly review based on its recent re-domicile to the UK and subject to its trading liquidity being above the required threshold. Membership changes to the indices are expected to be communicated by FTSE Russell on 1 September 2021 with potential inclusion becoming effective on the 20 September 2021.
• In addition, Endeavour expects to be eligible for inclusion in the MSCI Europe index, with index rebalancing occurring on 30 November 2021 following the semi-annual review which is expected to be completed by mid-November.
  
  

SHAREHOLDER RETURNS PROGRAM

• As disclosed on 7 June 2021, Endeavour has implemented a shareholder returns programme that is composed of a minimum progressive dividend that may be supplemented with additional dividends and buybacks, providing the prevailing gold price remains above $1,500/oz and that Endeavour’s leverage remains below 0.5x Net Debt / adjusted EBITDA.
• The minimum progressive dividend policy has a target of distributing at least $500 million to shareholders over the next three years. Minimum dividends are set at $125 million, $150 million and $175 million for FY-2021, FY-2022, and FY-2023 respectively, payable semi-annually, significantly higher than our inaugural FY-2020 dividend of $60 million.
• Endeavour is pleased to declare its H1-2021 interim dividend of $70 million or $0.28 per share based on its current issued share capital, which represents 56% of the minimum dividend for FY-2021, highlighting its strong commitment to paying supplemental shareholder returns. The ex-dividend date for the interim dividend will be 9 September 2021 and the record date will be 10 September 2021. The dividend will be paid on or about 28 September 2021 (the “Payment Date”).
• Shareholders of shares traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange will receive dividends in Canadian Dollars (“CAD”), but can elect to receive United States Dollars (“USD”). Shareholders of shares traded on the London Stock Exchange will receive dividends in USD, but can elect to receive Pounds Sterling (“GBP”). Certificated shareholders will receive dividends in USD but can elect to receive dividends in GBP or CAD. Currency elections must be made by shareholders prior to 17:00 GMT on 13 September 2021. Dividends will be paid in the default or elected currency on the Payment Date, at the prevailing USD:CAD and USD:GBP exchange rates on 15 September 2021. This dividend does not qualify as an “eligible dividend” for Canadian income tax purposes. The tax consequences of the dividend will be dependent on the particular circumstances of a shareholder.
• Shareholder returns are being supplemented through the Company’s share buyback programme. A total of $70 million of shares have been repurchased since the start of the buyback programme on 9 April 2021 until end of July 2021, of which $59 million or 2.7 million shares were repurchased in Q2-2021.
  
  

ON TRACK TO ACHIEVE FY-2021 GUIDANCE

• Strong H1-2021 performance of 756koz at an AISC of $860/oz positions the Group well to meet the top-half of its FY-2021 production guidance of 1,365-1,495koz at an AISC of $850-900/oz.
• H2-2021 will benefit from the full consolidation of the Sabodala-Massawa and Wahgnion mines, which have been consolidated starting from the closing date of the Teranga Gold acquisition of 10 February 2021.
• Group sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditure outlook for FY-2021 remains in line with initial guidance of $173 million and $201 million, respectively.

NOTES:

1)   Operating cash flows increased by $102.5 million from $197.9 million (or $0.99 per share) in Q1-2021 to $300.5 million (or $1.19 per share) in Q2-2021 mainly due to higher gold sales at a higher realised price as well as lower operating costs and a working capital inflow, which more than offset the higher income taxes paid and the foreign exchange losses incurred. Operating cash flow before non-cash working capital from all operations increased by $22.2 million from $263.4 million (or $1.27 per share) in Q1-2021 to $285.7 million (or $1.13 per share) in Q2-2021. Notable variances are summarised below:

• Gold sales increased by 57koz over Q1-2021 to 421koz in Q2-2021 due to the benefit of a full quarter of production from the newly acquired Sabodala-Massawa and Wahgnion mines, together with strong performances at Houndé and Ity. The realised gold price for Q2-2021 was $1,791/oz compared to $1,749/oz for Q1-2021. Total cash cost per ounce decreased from $751/oz in Q1-2021 to $729/oz in Q2-2021 due to the inclusion of the lower cost Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines for the full quarter
• Income taxes paid increased by $82.9 million to $106.5 million in Q2-2021 reflective of the timing of provisional payments based on full year 2020 earnings
• Working capital was an inflow of $14.8 million in Q2-2021 due to the reduction in receivable balances and inventories. Specifically, VAT receivables at Houndé decreased and certain corporate receivables were received in Q2-2021. There was also a reduction in inventory stockpiles and finished gold inventories at Ity, Sabodala-Massawa and Wahgnion
• Acquisition and restructuring costs of $14.5 million in Q2-2021 related to the Teranga acquisition and integration as well as restructuring costs

2)   Cash flows used by investing activities increased from Q1-2021 to $137.3 million in Q2-2021 due to increased expenditures on mining interest including sustaining capital and non-sustaining capital:

• Sustaining capital from continuing operations increased by $13.9 million from Q1-2021 to $41.5 million in Q2-2021 due to higher sustaining capital at Boungou, Houndé and Ity primarily due to planned waste capitalisation
• Non-sustaining capital from continuing operations increased slightly in Q2-2021 to $58.3 million, due to increases at Wahgnion and increases in non-mining capital expenditure which were mostly offset by decreases at Ity, Mana and Houndé
• Growth capital spend decreased by $15.4 million from Q1-2021 to $12.6 million in Q2-2021 and primarily relates to the Massawa expansion with the remainder for ongoing Definitive Feasibility Studies (“DFS”) studies

3)   Cash flows used by financing activities increased by $256.4 million to $191.8 million in Q2-2021 mainly due to a higher net repayment of long-term debt in Q2-2021, which was $120.0 million and payments for the acquisition of own shares, as part of the ongoing share buyback programme, of $59.5 million, which started in Q2-2021.

4)   At quarter-end, Endeavour’s liquidity remained strong with $832.9 million of cash on hand and $220.0 million undrawn of the RCF. The Company will seek to reduce its cash balance in the upcoming quarters by continuing to pay down its debt.

5)   Endeavour's corporate loan facility was increased from $430.0 million to $800.0 million in Q1-2021 to retire Teranga’s various higher cost debt facilities. In Q2-2021 $120.0 million was repaid on the facility with $580.0 million drawn on the facility at quarter-end.

6)   Net Debt amounted to $77.1 million at quarter-end, a decrease of $84.9 million during the quarter despite dividend payments of $60.0 million and $59.5 million of shares repurchased. In H1-2021, Net Debt increased by $152 million compared to the beginning of the year as approximately $332 million of Net Debt was absorbed from Teranga in Q1-2021.

7)   The Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA (LTM) leverage ratio ended the quarter at a healthy 0.07x, down from 0.16x in Q1-2021, and well below the Company’s long-term target of less than 0.50x, which provides flexibility to continue to supplement its shareholder return programme while maintaining headroom to fund its organic growth. The ratio has improved by 93% from the corresponding period last year when the ratio stood at 1.00x.

NOTES:

8)   Revenue for Q2-2021 was $753.4 million compared to $635.8 million for Q1-2021. The increase in revenue in Q2-2021 was mainly due to higher gold sales in Q2-2021 due to the benefit of a full quarter of production from the newly acquired Sabodala-Massawa and Wahgnion mines, together with strong performances at Houndé and Ity and a higher realised gold price for Q2-2021 of $1,791/oz compared to $1,749/oz for Q1-2021.

9)   Operating expenses and depreciation and depletion increased for Q2-2021 compared to Q1-2021 due to the addition of the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines, which were acquired on 10 February, 2021, for the full quarter.

10)   Royalties were $43.9 million for Q2-2021, compared to $44.4 million in Q1-2021. Royalty expenses remained stable as the decrease in realised gold price was offset by increased production from the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines acquired on 10 February, 2021.

11)   Corporate costs were $15.9 million for Q2-2021 compared to $11.4 million for Q1-2021. The increase in corporate costs are primarily due to costs associated with listing on the LSE as well as additional corporate costs following the integration of Teranga.

12)   Acquisition and restructuring costs were $14.5 million in Q2-2021 compared to $12.2 million in Q1-2021. Costs slightly increased in Q2-2021 compared to the comparative period due to the acquisition of Teranga on 10 February 2021 and the costs related to the integration of the entity into the Endeavour Group.

13)   The loss on financial instruments was $14.8 million in Q2-2021 compared to a gain of $42.1 million in Q1-2021. The loss in Q2-2021 is mainly due to the net impact of a loss on change in fair value of the warrant liabilities and call rights of $5.3 million and $7.0 million respectively, and foreign exchange losses of $7.2 million. The gain in Q1-2021 is primarily due to the net impact of the unrealised gain/(loss) on convertible senior bond derivative of $30.0 million, loss on foreign exchange of $6.2 million, and a loss on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1.5 million.

14)   Current income tax expense was $44.5 million in Q2-2021 compared to $72.1 million in Q1-2021. Current income tax expense for Q2-2021 decreased compared to Q1-2021, despite the inclusion of the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines acquired in Q1-2021, due to an adjustment to the income tax accrual upon finalisation of the FY-2020 income tax filings. Income taxes paid of $106.5 million in Q2-2021 were materially higher than income taxes expensed reflecting higher provisional payments made at the end of the 2020/2021 tax year.

15)   Net comprehensive earnings were $148.9 million for Q2-2021 compared to $110.9 million in Q1-2021. The increase in earnings was related to higher earnings from mine operations due to the addition of Wahgnion and Sabodola-Massawa, as well as a lower income tax expense, which contained one-off expenses related to the divestment of Agbaou in Q1-2021.

16)   Adjustments relate mainly to loss/(gain) on financial instruments, loss on discontinued operations, deferred income tax, share based compensation, non-recurring items and acquisition and restructuring costs.

17)   Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to shareholders for continuing operations were $183.1 (or $0.73 per share) in Q2-2021 compared to  $93.2 million (or $0.45 per share) in Q1-2021.

OPERATIONS REVIEW SUMMARY

• Continued strong safety record for the Group, with a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (“LTIFR”) of 0.16 for the trailing twelve months ending 30 June, 2021.
• The acquisition of Teranga Gold was completed on 10 February, 2021 and the Sabodala-Massawa and Wahgnion assets have been consolidated into the financial statements from this date. The sale of Endeavour's non-core Agbaou mine closed on 1 March, 2021, and has been classified as a discontinued operation.
• A stronger than guided performance was achieved in Q2-2021 due to outperformance at Houndé and Ity which benefited from less rainfall than usual.
• Production increased 18% in Q2-2021 over Q1-2021 to 409koz, while AISC decreased by $15/oz to $853/oz, due to the full benefit of consolidated production from Sabodala-Massawa and Wahgnion, and the strong operational performance as noted above.

Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021 Insights

• Gold production significantly decreased relative to Q1-2021, as greater throughput was offset by lower grades. Mining and mill feed was constrained to lower grade areas as the larger mining fleet was focused on waste extraction at the East pit.
  • Total tonnes mined was higher following the commissioning of additional mining equipment during Q1-2021. Mining activities continued to focus on the West pit with total tonnes of ore mined increasing as a result of the lower strip ratio and the benefit of mining on the top benches. Pre-stripping activities at the East pit continued during Q2-2021.
  • Tonnes milled increased in Q2-2021 relative to Q1-2021 as higher mill utilisation resulted from improved mining fragmentation of the ore, as well as the benefit of improvements made to the SAG mill, pebble crusher and vertical tower mill which started in Q4-2020 following the restart of mining.
  • Average processed grade decreased during Q2-2021 as the mill feed was mainly sourced from the lower grade areas of the West Pit, as the higher grade areas were targeted during the restart of mining activities in Q4-2020 and Q1-2021.

• AISC per ounce increased during Q2-2021 compared to Q1-2021 due to the decrease in head grade and higher sustaining capital (an increase of $165 per ounce) due to waste stripping. Unit mining and unit processing costs decreased due to increased efficiencies as a result of additional mining equipment commissioned in Q1-2021 and improved mining fragmentation.
• Sustaining capital expenditures of $9.0 million during Q2-2021 mainly related to waste capitalisation at the West pit and the TSF lift.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $3.9 million during Q2-2021 mainly related to pre-stripping at the East pit.
  
  

2021 Outlook

• Boungou is well positioned to meet its FY-2021 production guidance of 180 - 200koz, while AISC are expected to continue to trend above the guided $690 - 740 per ounce range as a result of higher fuel prices and increased security costs.
• Plant feed is expected to continue to be sourced from the West Pit with waste stripping activities continuing at the East Pit throughout the year. Mill throughput is expected to remain broadly consistent with H1-2021 performance, along with average processed grades, while recovery rates are expected to slightly decline due to the ore characteristics.
• The sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $19.0 million, of which $13.1 million has been incurred in H1-2021. The non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 also remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $22.0 million, of which $8.4 million has been incurred in H1-2021.

Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021 Insights

• Production significantly increased due to higher average processed grades, as the high grade Kari Pump ore contributed a higher proportion of the mill feed during the quarter
  • Total tonnes mined decreased as a result of decreased availability of mining equipment, as scheduled maintenance and repairs were carried out, as well as mining progressing to deeper elevations. This contributed to the decrease in tonnes of ore mined as the strip ratio remained fairly constant over the previous quarter. Ore tonnes mined were primarily sourced from the Kari Pump and Vindaloo Centre deposits with mining at Vindaloo Main focusing on waste stripping.
  • Tonnes milled slightly decreased despite the higher proportion of oxide ore from the Kari Pump pit, as a result of an increase in interruptions to the grid power supply and the increased reliance on generators.
  • Average gold grade milled increased along with recoveries due to the increase in the proportion of high grade oxide ore sourced from Kari Pump and a localised nugget effect in the higher grade zones of Kari Pump.

• AISC decreased, despite higher unit costs and sustaining capital spend, due to the increase in production from the higher grade oxide ore sourced from Kari Pump which resulted in increased gold sales. Mining unit costs increased due to scheduled maintenance, higher haulage costs associated with Kari Pump, and increased blasting and grade control drilling carried out during the quarter. Unit processing costs increased, despite an increase in oxide ore processed, due to higher power costs, as generator utilisation increased due to interruptions to the grid power supply.
• Sustaining capital expenditure of $8.6 million during Q2-2021 mainly related to the waste capitalisation at Vindaloo Main.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $3.0 million during Q2-2021 mainly related to costs associated with the development of the Kari West mining area.
  
  

2021 Outlook

• H1-2021 performance was stronger than scheduled due to good mining productivities achieved during the Kari Pump pre-stripping enabling, increased access to high grade oxide ore. As such, Houndé is on track to meet the top half of its FY-2021 production guidance of 240—260koz, with AISC expected to achieve the guided $855—905 per ounce range.
• Mining activities in H2-2021 will continue to focus on Kari Pump, supplemented by contributions from Bouéré and Vindaloo Centre pits. Mining is expected to focus on lower grade areas during the wet season and as a greater focus is placed on waste stripping activities, primarily related to Vindaloo Main pit and Kari West where the pre-strip is expected to be completed in late 2021. Throughput is expected to slightly decline in H2-2021, while recovery rates are expected to remain similar to H1-2021 and processed grade is expected to be lower following the higher grades brought forward in Q2-2021.
• The sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $39.0 million, of which $13.3 million has been incurred in H1-2021. The non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 also remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $13.0 million, of which $9.7 million has been incurred in H1-2021.

AISC/OZ	806		786		789			796		707

Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021 Insights

• Production was ahead of expectation due to the increased average processed grade and gold recovery rate as higher grade ore was brought forward in the mine plan
  • Total tonnes mined, together with total ore mined, decreased in Q2-2021, due to a decrease in mining equipment availability, as scheduled maintenance was carried out on the excavators. The strip ratio also remained relatively stable. Mining activity continued at the Ity, Bakatouo, Daapleu, Walter, Colline Sud and Flotouo pits with an increase in ore being sourced from the heap dumps.
  • Tonnes milled continued to perform above nameplate capacity due to high plant uptime as well as a high proportion of oxide materials from the Daapleu, Bakatouo, Colline Sud pits and the heap dumps, with fresh ore sourced from Daapleu, Bakatouo and Ity pits.
  • Average gold grade milled increased in Q2-2021 due to an increase in the grade of the ore sourced from the Daapleu and Bakatouo pits.
  • Despite the higher proportion of transitional and fresh ore processed in Q2-2021, recovery rates increased, as higher quality material from Flotouo was treated preferentially displacing the more viscous Verse Ouest material.

• AISC per ounce increased due to higher unit mining costs as a result of longer hauling distance for ore mined from the newly commissioned Flotouo and Walter pits as well as the transition to contractor mining. In addition, unit processing costs increased due to the increase in the proportion of transitional and fresh material and the higher reagent consumption due to an increase in the proportion of Daapleu ore processed. Higher power costs impacted AISC by approximately $20/oz due to increased utilisation of generators as a result of temporarily reduced grid power availability. The cost increase was also impacted by higher sustaining capital expenditure.
• Sustaining capital expenditures of $7.1 million during Q2-2021 mainly relates to waste capitalisation at the Ity, Bakatouou and Daapleu pits.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditures of $8.4 million during Q2-2021 mainly relates to the TSF stage 3 lift, the Le Plaque haul road construction and river diversions as well as small processing plant upgrades.
• During Q2-2021, Ity transitioned from owner mining to contract mining with Societe de Forage et des Travaux Publics (“SFTP”), a local contractor who are already performing contract mining services at Endeavour’s Karma and Boungou mines. As a part of the transition, the mining fleet at Ity was sold to SFTP for approximately $24.2 million.
  
  

2021 Outlook

• H1-2021 performance was stronger than scheduled due to the benefit of a good processing performance with a combination of higher throughput, grade, and recovery. As such, Ity is on track to meet the top half of its FY-2021 production guidance of 230—250koz, with AISC expected to achieve the top-end of the guided $800—850 per ounce range
• Waste extraction activities are expected to ramp up at the Ity pit in H2-2021 as stripping which was deferred from H1-2021 is carried out. As a result, the proportion of ore mined from Bakatouo, Daapleu and Colline Sud is expected to decrease in H2-2021. Throughput is expected to be slightly lower in H2-2021 compared to H1-2021 due to the onset of the wet season, while the average processed grade is expected to be lower due to a higher proportion of feed from historical lower grade stockpiles.
• The sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $28.0 million, of which $12.3 million has been incurred in H1-2021. Non-sustaining capital spend for FY-2021 is expected to amount to approximately $40.0 million, of which $20.4 million has been incurred in H1-2021. This increase compared to the initial H1-2021 guidance of $27.0 million is due to initiation of new optimization initiatives, primarily associated with reducing reagent consumption and enhancing recoveries.

AISC/OZ	1,070		1,179		951			1,120		889

Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021 Insights

• Production increased due to the higher average grade stacked and the higher gold recovery rate, which offset a modest decrease in tonnes stacked.
  • Total tonnes mined increased slightly due to an additional load and haul unit, with an increase in strip ratio at GG1 as a higher proportion of transitional ore tonnes were mined. Ore continued to be sourced from the GG1 and Kao North pits.
  • Ore tonnes stacked decreased due to slightly lower stacking availability and utilisation. Ore tonnes from the GG1 and Kao North pit were mostly oxide material with a blend of transitional materials that were supplemented with stockpiles.
  • The stacked ore grade increased mainly due to a higher average grade sourced from the North Kao pit while the average grade from the GG1 pit also increased slightly.
  • The recovery rate increased due to the lower proportion of ore from the GG1 pit and the higher proportion of oxide material stacked, which has a higher associated recovery rate.

• AISC per ounce decreased due to the increased production and associated gold sales which offset the higher mining strip ratio and higher unit processing and G&A costs. Processing unit costs were higher as a result of increased cyanide consumption and the lower Q2-2021 stacking capacity, while G&A unit costs increased as operation management patents taxes were incurred during the quarter.
• Sustaining capital expenditure was $0.3 million during Q2-2021 and related to mining pit dewatering boreholes and other site equipment upgrades.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure was $2.1 million during Q2-2021, which was related to construction of new cells within the heap leach pad.

2021 Outlook

• Given its strong H1-2021 performance, Karma is well positioned to meet its FY-2021 production guidance of 80—90koz at an AISC of $1,220—$1,300 per ounce
• Mining activity is expected to focus on the GG1 pit for the remainder of the year. As a result of the increase in transitional material mined from the GG1 pit, processed grades and recoveries are expected to be lower in H2-2021, while ore stacked is expected to decrease in Q3-2021 due to the wet season, before returning to normal levels in Q4-2021
• The sustaining capital outlook at Karma is expected to be significantly lower than the $11.0 million guided as a result of the waste development being included as an operating cost for 2021. The non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $5.0 million, of which $2.9 million has been incurred in H1-2021.

Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021 Insights

• Production slightly decreased due to a reduction in the average processed grade which was partially offset by an increase in plant throughput and recoveries.
  • Total open pit tonnes of ore mined was higher as a result of the lower strip ratio, following the planned waste development at the Wona South pit in Q1-2021, which provided access to a wider ore floor to be mined. In Q2-2021 ore was mainly sourced from Wona Main and Wona South Pits while mining at Wona North Stage 3 completed during Q1-2021.
  • Total underground ore tonnes mined decreased as underground mining focused on development and backfilling.
  • Tonnes milled increased due to an increase in mill availability and better mining fragmentation, which resulted in higher plant throughput. The ore processed in both Q1-2021 and Q2-2021 was mainly fresh material, sourced from both the open pit and underground mines.
  • The average processed grade was lower during Q2-2021 due to a decrease in the proportion of ore sourced from the higher grade underground mine and from the open pit Wona Main deposit.
• AISC increased due to higher sustaining capital spend and increased open pit and underground unit mining costs. The open pit unit mining costs increased due to higher production drilling and blasting activities in the fresh ore areas of Wona South pit, as well as higher underground unit mining costs as a result of increased stope activity costs, which was partially offset by lower unit processing costs due to improved fragmentation.
• Sustaining capital expenditure of $5.2 million during Q2-2021 mainly relates to underground development and waste capitalisation.
• Non-sustaining capital of $21.1 million during Q2-2021 mainly relates to open pit waste development, the TSF raise and other infrastructure projects.

2021 Outlook

• Given its strong H1-2021 performance driven by strong mill throughput and grades, Mana is well positioned to meet its FY-2021 production guidance of 170 - 190koz at an AISC of $975 - 1,050 per ounce
• In H2-2021, ore will continue to be sourced from the Siou underground mine while open pit mining activities at Siou are expected to wind down. Following optimization studies completed in Q2-2021, Wona will be pursued as an underground operation rather than being continued as an open pit operation and eliminate the need for a large pit cut-back. Underground development at Wona will therefore be expedited, with decline development expected to commence in Q3-2021. Mill throughput and grades are expected to be slightly lower in H2-2021, compared to H1-2021, while recovery rates are expected to remain similar.
• The total sustaining and non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged. As a result of the reduction in required stripping activities at Wona, following the decision to shift to underground mining, the FY-2021 sustaining capital outlook is expected to be significantly lower than the $27.0 million guided, of which $8.0 million has been incurred in H1-2021. Due to the reallocation of capital for the Wona underground development, the non-sustaining capital outlook for FY-2021 is expected to amount to slightly more the $62.0 million guided, of which $45.2 million has been incurred in H1-2021.

Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021 Insights

• Production increased in Q2-2021 compared to Q1-2021 (full quarter basis) mainly due to higher processed grades which more than offset the slightly lower recoveries.
  • Tonnes mined increased due to favourable mining conditions experienced in Q2-2021 as a result of the improved haul road profile, improved mining sequencing, additional equipment and increased productivity of shovels and excavators. Tonnes of ore mined increased due to the aforementioned reasons as well as the lower strip ratio. Mining activities in Q2-2021 continued to progress on the Massawa permit with Sofia Main and Sofia North contributing 70% and 30% of total ore mined respectively.
  • Total tonnes milled increased in Q2-2021, due to increased mill availability and utilisation, despite the increase in fresh material milled which resulted in a slight decrease in recoveries
  • The average processed grade for the period benefited from the high grade ore from the Sofia Main pit
• AISC per ounce decreased in Q2-2021 compared to Q1-2021 (for post consolidation period commencing 10 February, 2021) mainly due to the decrease in the strip ratio and lower sustaining capital spend per ounce sold ($90/oz vs. $185/oz) and the lower processing unit cost which more than offset the higher unit mining costs (higher due to increased haulage cost).
• Sustaining capital expenditure of $8.9 million during Q2-2021 mainly relates to purchases of additional mining equipment, TSF raise and planned waste capitalisation.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $5.2 million during Q2-2021 mainly relates to the relocation activities of the Sabodala village, the new haul road and infrastructure developments at the Massawa permit mining areas.
  
  

2021 Outlook

• Given its strong H1-2021 performance, Sabodala-Massawa is well positioned to meet its FY-2021 production guidance of 310—330koz at an AISC of $690—740 per ounce, for the post acquisition period commencing on 10 February 2021.
• The Sofia Main and Sofia North pits will continue to contribute the majority of the ore mined for the remainder of 2021, while waste extraction at Sofia North is expected to increase in H2-2021. Mill throughput and process grades are expected to slightly decrease in H2-2021, compared to Q2-2021, while recovery rates are expected to remain similar.
• The sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 is expected to be slightly above the previously guided $35.0 million, of which $18.4 million has been incurred in H1-2021, due to investments in mining fleet and additional equipment. The non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 is expected to be slightly below the guided $47.0 million, of which $9.7 million has been incurred in H1-2021 due to the deferral of spend on the Sabodala relocation construction and development costs as a greater focus is placed on mining the Sofia pits.

Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021 Insights

• Production decreased in Q2-2021 compared to Q1-2021 (full quarter basis) despite higher mill throughput, due to the lower average grade processed
  • Total tonnes and ore mined remained fairly consistent. Ore mined was sourced mainly from the Nogbele North and Nogbele South pits and supplemented with ore from the Fourkoura pit where mining commenced earlier this year.
  • Tonnes milled increased as a result of planned maintenance which was carried out in Q1-2021, leading to increased mill availability in Q2-2021. The mill feed blend and recoveries remained consistent with Q1-2021, with minimal transitional ore and a 60/40 split between oxide and fresh ore.
  • Average grade milled decreased slightly as the proportion of lower grade ore sourced from the Nogbele South deposit increased during the quarter.
• AISC per ounce increased in Q2-2021 compared to Q1-2021 (for post consolidation period commencing 10 February, 2021) mainly due to increased sustaining capital per ounce sold and higher unit mining and processing costs. Both mining and processing unit costs were higher as a result of increased fuel costs, with increased drilling and blasting and haulage costs also contributing to the higher unit mining cost.
• Sustaining capital expenditure of $2.5 million during Q2-2021 mainly relates to waste capitalisation and other mining equipment and IT infrastructure upgrades.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $9.0 million during Q2-2021 mainly relates to the TSF stage 2 raise, construction of the airstrip and resettlement costs.
  
  

2021 Outlook

• Given its strong H1-2021 performance, Wahgnion is well positioned to meet its FY-2021 production guidance of 140—155koz at an AISC of $940—990 per ounce, for the post acquisition period commencing on 10 February 2021.
• Mining is expected to continue at Nogbele North, Nogbele South, and Fourkoura pits with significant waste development continuing throughout the year. Plant throughput is expected to decrease in H2-2021 compared to H1-2021 due to the wet season and a higher proportion of fresh ore being processed, while process grades are expected to increase and recovery rates to slightly decline.
• The sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $14.0 million, of which $3.4 million has been incurred in H1-2021, with the remaining spend mainly related to waste extraction. The non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 also remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $26.0 million, of which $12.8 million has been incurred in H1-2021. The H2-2021 non-sustaining spend mainly relates to construction of a second TSF cell.
  
  

EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

• Exploration efforts remain on track to discover over 2.5 million ounces of Indicated resources in 2021, which represents significantly more than the expected depletion for the year.
• Following significant exploration success in H1-2021, updated resource estimates are expected to be published in H2-2021 notably for Ity, Houndé, Sabodala-Massawa, and Fetekro.
• A total of over 312,000 meters have been drilled across the group during H1-2021, amounting to a total spend of $50 million, which represents more than half the guided annual spend of $70-90 million as the exploration programme is more heavily weighted towards the first half of the year to take advantage of the dry season.

• An exploration programme of up to $7.0 million has been planned for 2021, of which $4.6 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 24,307 meters of drilling across 245 drillholes. The exploration efforts were focused on delineating near mine targets and the area between the East and West pit.
• Drilling conducted in H1-2021 at Natougou NW identified a zone of higher-grade mineralisation trending north-northwest that extends for over 700 meters and remains open to the north. In H2-2021 drilling will focus on delineating this trend. Drilling at Natougou SE, Natougou SW and West Flanc targeted the extension of existing mineralised trends and the evaluation of inferred resources.
• At Boungou NW, H1-2021 drilling evaluated the continuation of the Boungou Shear Zone mineralisation. Initial results are promising and a complete review of all drill results in H2-2021 will guide follow-up drilling in 2022. 

Houndé mine

• An exploration programme of up to $7.0 million has been planned for 2021 of which $6.8 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 68,871 meters of drilling across 630 drillholes. The exploration efforts were focused on Vindaloo South, Mambo and the intersection between Kari Gap and Kari Center.
• Drilling has confirmed that the Mambo target, located 12km from the Houndé plant, has the potential to be a significant discovery with mineralisation that extends over 800 meters in length and 200 meters wide and remains open to the southwest, northeast, and at depth. During H2-2021, step out drilling will target lateral extensions of Mambo to the southwest and northeast. A maiden resource at Mambo is expected to be published in H2-2021.
• During H1-2021 exploration in the Kari Area and at Vindaloo South was focussed on delineating mineralised extensions which will be pursued in H2-2021. 

Ity mine

• An exploration programme of $9.0 million has been planned for 2021 of which $6.2 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 45,144 meters of drilling across 441 drillholes. The exploration efforts were focused on Le Plaque South (Delta Extension), West Flotouo (Verse Ouest), Daapleu Deep, Yopleu-Legaleu and the junction between Bakatouo and Walter.
• Drilling on the West Flotouo target, which was informed following a re-interpretation of structural and geological data, led to the discovery of a high grade mineralised lenses immediately below the former Flotouo dump, located in proximity to the plant. A maiden resource is expected to be published in late 2021.
• Drilling in the Le Plaque area focussed on extending mineralisation at Le Plaque South and Yopleu-Legaleu. An updated Le Plaque resource is expected to be published in late 2021.
• Drilling conducted at Daapleu confirmed that mineralisation extends at least 300 meters downdip of the current pit design and the target will be delineated further in H2-2021.
• Drilling at the junction between the Bakatouo and Walter deposits confirmed mineralisation is continuous and that it remains open at depth, and will therefore be further explored in H2-2021. 

Karma mine

• In H1-2021, exploration work was carried out as part of the advanced grade control drilling programme, with the aim of delineating near mine extensions and expediting their incorporation in the current mine plan. The focus was on Kao Main, Kao north, Rambo, GG1, GG2, Anomaly B and Kanongo, which will be pursued in H2-2021.

Mana mine

• An exploration programme of up to $8.0 million has been planned for 2021 of which $7.1 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 59,620 meters of drilling across 459 drillholes. The exploration efforts were focused on oxide open pit targets, such as Maoula, and on evaluating underground targets at Siou and Nyafe.
• Drilling conducted at Maoula confirmed and extended mineralisation in the western and eastern lenses of the deposit. In H2-2021, exploration work will continue to focus on defining indicated resources and extending the mineralised trend to the southwest, where the deposit remains open. Some delineation drilling was also conducted at Kona North, T2K and Bana West where generally lower grade and non-continuous mineralisation was intercepted.
• Deeper drilling conducted at Siou South, intersected higher grade mineralised zones adjacent to the planned underground development. In H2-2021 further drilling will focus on delineating these higher grade zones.
• At Nyafe, historic drilling and exploitation activities were largely restricted to defining and mining oxide ore due to the refractive nature of the sulphide mineralisation. Scout diamond holes drilled beneath the pits confirmed the down-dip continuation of the structures and higher grade mineralisation. Further drilling is planned to start in late 2021.

Sabodala-Massawa mine

• An exploration programme of up to $13.0 million has been planned for 2021 of which $3.5 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 46,439 meters of drilling across 414 drillholes. The exploration efforts were focused on Samina, Tina and other non-refractory targets within the Massawa area. Following the exploration success, an updated resource is expected to be published in late 2021.
• Drilling conducted at the Samina deposit focussed on extending the 500 meters mineralised strike length to over 900 meters, while mineralisation remains open to the north.
• Drilling conducted at the Tina deposit focussed on expanding the inferred resources defined in 2019. The mineralised strike length has been extended by over 300 meters and the deposit remains open to the north and southeast.
• Drilling conducted at the Sofia North deposit followed up on the previously identified Sofia North extension. The extension has been identified to extend over 800 meters along strike and is 150 meters wide, remaining open to the north.
• During the remainder of 2021, exploration work will be focussed on defining resources at Samina, Tina and the Sofia North Extension as well as follow up drilling on other Massawa project area targets.

Wahgnion mine

• An exploration programme of up to $12.0 million has been planned for 2021 of which $2.6 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 9,565 meters of drilling across 81 drillholes. The exploration efforts focused on Nogbele North and Nogbele South deposits, targeting the continuation of mineralised structures between the Nogbele pits.
• Exploration efforts are expected to ramp up in H2-2021, and will continue to focus on the extension and expansion of the Nogbele mineralisation. Additionally, the north-northeast continuation of the Fourkoura deposit and the Hillside target will be tested for extensions. Reconnaissance drilling at various attractive targets such as Kafina West and Korindougou will also be completed in H2-2021.

Fetekro project

• In H1-2021, Fetekro was the largest greenfield exploration focus with a total of $6.4 million spent on exploration work.
• In total 43,300 meters of drilling were completed in H1-2021 and 54,117 meters have been completed since the last resource update, published in August 2020. An updated resource estimate is expected to be published in late 2021 due to successful drilling which has focused on extending the Fetekro resource into Lafigué North and in the area between Lafigué Center and Lafigué North.
• At Lafigué North, the exploration programme focused on converting a portion of the remaining inferred resources into indicated resources. At the area between Lafigué Center and Lafigué North, infill drilling focused on delineating recently identified shallow, subparallel, stacked mineralised lenses located outside of the current resource.
• The DFS remains on track to be completed by year-end 2021 with the mining permit expected to be granted in Q3-2021.

Kalana project

• During H1-2021 optimisation of the pre-feasibility study continued, with a particular focus on ore sorting.
• In H2-2021 PFS optimization work will continue along with work on advancing the resettlement site and completion of the Environmental Permit. The DFS remains on track to be completed in Q1-2022.

Afema exploration property

• In H1-2021, Endeavour completed the initial exploration programme initiated by Teranga, drilling 8,347 meters at the Woulo Woulo prospect. Since its discovery in 2020, over 210 drill holes, totalling 31,492 meters of drilling have been completed at Woulo Woulo Main, Woulo Woulo West and Woulo Woulo East.
• An initial resource of 4.196MT at 1.10g/t Au for 148,000 ounces of indicated resources and 3.175MT at 1.03g/t Au for 105,000 ounces of inferred resources have been defined at Woulo Woulo, with further work in H2-2021 focussed on expanding the mineralised trend and delineating other high priority targets within the Afema permit. For associated resource calculation technical notes, please reference the below section entitled “AFEMA’S WOULO-WOULO AREA RESOURCE MODELING”.
• At Woulo Woulo Main the mineralised unit extends over 2.5 km and remains open along strike to the north and south and at depth. The host unit at Woulo Woulo is a highly fractured and veined altered felsic Intrusive which is observed to be approximately 40 to 50 meters thick, occasionally swelling to more than 80 meters in thickness. The mineralized global envelope appears to be quite continuous, with some thinner individual lenses. Higher grade mineralisation has been identified in the north and south extents of Woulo Woulo’s main mineralised unit, with average grades between 1.0 – 1.5g/t gold around the center.

Bantou exploration property

• At Bantou, during H1-2021 exploration work on the Karankasso JV permits focussed on completing soil geochemical surveys and ground geophysical surveys to help advance high priority targets ahead of the Dynkikongolo permit approval, and the start of the resource conversion drilling programmes in H2-2021 on Bantou and Bantou North deposits.

Siguri exploration property

• At Siguiri, a total of 23,000 meters of drilling will start in early H2-2021 on two promising targets that were selected in H1-2021.

AFEMA’S WOULO-WOULO AREA RESOURCE MODELING

The geological models, statistical analysis and resource estimates were prepared by Kevin Harris, CPG is Endeavour Mining's Vice President Resources and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. The Woulo-Woulo Mineral Resource Estimate (MREs) was developed within the Afema project area in Leapfrog Geo and Geovia Surpac software. Mineral Resource estimates follow the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") definitions standards for mineral resources and reserves and have been completed in accordance with the Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

The mineralisation model for Woulo-Woulo was developed in Leapfrog Geo with the drilling data as of 18 June, 2021. Twelve mineralised domains were defined within the approximately 2.9 km strike length of the deposit defined so far. The gold assays from the drill holes were composited to one-meter intervals within the mineralised wireframes and capped by the mineralised domain, or not at all depending on the high-grade outliers within the individual lens. Four of the domains were capped at 10 g/t Au and the remainder were not capped. The spatial relationship of the gold grade distribution was analysed for each mineralized domain using directional variograms. The majority of the lenses showed a good continuity of gold grade along strike and down-dip and were used to establish ordinary kriging (“OK”) estimation parameters. Density parameters were determined by weathering zone. The saprolite is 1.8 t/m³, saprock is 2.2 t/m³ and fresh rock is 2.8 t/m³. The gold grade was estimated using Ordinary Kriging (OK), constrained by the mineralised domains. The grade was estimated in multiple passes to define the higher confidence areas and to extend the grade into areas of extrapolated mineralization. The grade estimation was validated by visually comparing drilling data and block grades, comparing inverse distance squared and OK estimated grades and by swath plots comparing block grades and composite grades.

No Measured resources have been estimated. The mineralisation was classified as Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources depending on the sample spacing, number samples, confidence in mineralised zone continuity and geostatistical analysis. The Indicated Mineral Resource was defined by least three-drill holes within a 50 meter search using a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 20 samples. Inferred Mineral Resource classification was defined by a minimum of three samples within a 75 meter search.

The Mineral Resources were constrained by $1,500/oz gold price within a Whittle pit optimisation and a 0.50 g/t Au cut-off grade. The Whittle pit shell optimisations assumed a base mining cost of $2.50/t and an adjusted ore mining and haulage cost of $2.50/t for oxide, $3.25/t for transition and $3.75/t for fresh rock, a mining recovery of 95%, mining dilution of 10%, a pit slope of 40o, average gold recovery of 90%, a processing and G&A cost of $16.00/t for oxide, $18.00/t for transition and $20.00/t for fresh rock, and a gold selling cost (royalty, refining and selling) of $70/oz.

Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Reported tonnage and grade figures have been rounded from raw estimates to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. Minor variations may occur during the addition of rounded numbers.

3. ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE

Endeavour is committed to being a responsible gold miner, creating long-term value and sharing the benefits of its operations among all its stakeholders, including employees, host communities and shareholders. As the largest gold miner in West Africa and a trusted partner, Endeavour’s operations have the potential to provide a significant positive impact on the economies and social development of its local communities and host countries, while inimizing their impact on the environment.

Environment, social and governance (“ESG”) policies, systems and practices are embedded throughout the business and the Company reports annually on its ESG performance via its Sustainability Report. A dedicated sustainability governance structure has been established with an Environment, Sustainability and Governance Committee at board level, which the management of the ESG Committee reports into.

The Responsible Gold Mining Principles (“RGMPs”)

The RGMPs were launched by the World Gold Council, the industry body responsible for stimulating and sustaining demand for gold, to reflect the commitment of the world’s leading gold producers to responsible mining. The RGMPs provide a comprehensive ESG reporting framework that sets out clear expectations as to what constitutes responsible gold mining to help provide confidence to investors, supply chain participants and ultimately, consumers.

The RGMPs consist of ten umbrella principles and fifty-one detailed principles that cover key ESG themes. Member companies have three years to comply with the RGMPs and are required to obtain external assurance on their conformance to the RGMPs.

During 2020, Endeavour received external assurance on its first RGMP, 1.7 Accountabilities and Reporting and continued to progress on the implementation of the other RGMPs, including commissioning an independent external readiness assessment to confirm Endeavour’s internal gap assessment (conducted in 2019) and to provide additional recommendations in preparation for external assurance. For the year ended 31 December 2020, Endeavour received external assurance on seven RGMPs, the details of which are included in the Company’s 2020 Sustainability Report.

Responding to Climate Change

Being responsible stewards of the environment is critical to the Group’s long-term success. The Group has been reporting on its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions since 2017 and Scope 3 emissions since 2019.

In Q2-21, Endeavour launched an augmented ESG strategy to reflect Company’s increased size. Central to the strategy is protecting the environment, with a core focus on tackling climate change, water stewardship, conserving biodiversity as well as plastic waste, a material issue in its host countries.

As part of Endeavour’s journey to net zero by 2050, the Company is working on its roadmap to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 30% by 2030. Among the eight levers identified to reduce emissions, the Company has identified that switching to renewable power has the most potential. Solar power is expected to form a core part of the Group’s energy mix going forward, starting with the solar power plant project at the Houndé mine.

To support this commitment, 25% of the 2021 long-term executive compensation award (vesting in 2023) is tied to the successful implementation of a carbon reduction strategy and the commissioning of at least one significant renewable energy power plant.

Sustainability Update

During Q2-2021, Endeavour published its 2020 Sustainability Report. This Report marks a new milestone in the Company’s disclosure with the continued enhancement of transparency and the adoption of standards set by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”). In addition, external assurance was obtained for the first time on key ESG indicators.

To increase transparency on local procurement, Endeavour has also adopted the Local Procurement Reporting Mechanism (“LPRM”), a framework created by Mining Shared Value to support transparency within the supply chain and standardize information on mine site procurement.

Endeavour’s 2020 sustainability highlights include:

• 95% of the Group’s workforce is from host countries and 66% of senior management is from West Africa
• 74% of total procurement, amounting to approximately $622 million, spent on in-country suppliers, supporting over 2,000 national and local businesses
• Distribution of $894 million in economic value to host countries, including $262 million in taxes and royalties
• Invested $24 million, equivalent to $27 per ounce of gold produced, in local communities and host countries, including $6 million to support the fight against COVID-19
• Successful decrease in malaria cases by 19% and the Group’s malaria incidence rate by 38%
• Fourth consecutive year of no significant environmental incidents, since annual sustainability reporting began
• Greenhouse gas emission intensity (CO2-equivalent per oz gold produced) reduced by 13% compared to 2018
• Significantly improved CDP Climate Change score from D- to C and achieved a C for Water Security performance

Launch of an augmented ESG Strategy

During the quarter, Endeavour announced an updated ESG strategy to reflect its increased size and scale. Endeavour’s ESG strategy is centered around two key pillars: investing in host countries and protecting the environment (as detailed above). These two pillars are underpinned by a strong governance framework and linked to clear, measurable ESG-related executive compensation targets (as outlined in the 2021 Management Information Circular).

The Company has also created the Endeavour Foundation, which will be its primary vehicle to implement its social investments and sustainability projects at the regional and national levels. The Endeavour Foundation’s focus areas are health, particularly malaria, education, access to water and energy, and economic development. The Endeavour Foundation will supplement the efforts being undertaken by ECODEV, an economic development fund established by Endeavour to support local economic growth by promoting and investing in the creation of long-term, sustainable, small and medium enterprises.

3.1.    HEALTH AND SAFETY

3.2.    COVID-19 RESPONSE

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, Senegal and Mali have taken strict and pro-active measures to minimise overall exposure in their countries.

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

• Endeavour has implemented a range of preventative measures at all its sites, including social distancing, health screening, augmented hygiene and restricted access to sites. During Q2-21, this has also included vaccination awareness campaigns across sites and offices.
• Endeavour has donated key medical equipment and supplies to regional, community and on-site medical centres across all four countries of its projects and operations and continues to monitor the needs of its communities.
• A range of community programmes have been implemented during the pandemic, including micro-credit programmes, which have helped to support people in host communities whose livelihoods were impacted by the pandemic, and e-learning programmes 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.
• The Company’s cloud-based strategy ensures that employees who need to work from home are able to access all the relevant applications, systems and collaboration tools needed to perform their duties. In addition, the Company’s cyber security response has been updated and is constantly tracked in light of the increased cyber security risk generally observed during the pandemic.

4.  OPERATIONS REVIEW

The following tables summarises operating results for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020.

4.1.    Operational Review Summary

• Q2-2021 consolidated production from continuing operations amounted to 408,992 ounces, an increase of 284,431 ounces or 228% compared to Q2-2020. Group production increased due to higher production at Houndé, Ity and Karma as well as the addition of the Mana and Boungou mines which were acquired on 1 July 2020 and the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines which were acquired on 10 February 2021. Group AISC from continuing operations decreased by 9% or $85 per ounce primarily due to the inclusion of lower cost Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines during the quarter as well as lower cost at Houndé due to lower sustaining capital expenditure.
• H1-2021 consolidated production from continuing operations increased by 474,260 ounces or 176% which was more than double that of H1-2020, as a result of the addition of four new mines (Mana, Boungou, Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa) since the end of Q2-2020. AISC for all operations decreased by $56 per ounce or 6% to $860 per ounce due to the inclusion of lower cost Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines during the quarter as well as lower cost at Houndé due to lower sustaining capital.

Q2-2021 Insights

• Production of 38,802 ounces on account of ore milled from lower grade areas of the West pit offsetting higher plant throughput which resulted from good fragmentation of mined materials as well as good recovery rates.
  • Tonnes mined in the quarter focused on a combination of pre-stripping of the top oxide benches in the West Pit Phase 3 and fresh waste rock in West Pit Phase 2 and with pre-stripping activity in the East Pit, following completion of mobilisation of the mining contractor fleet. Tonnes of ore mined was mainly sourced from the West pit.
  • Tonnes milled benefited from high throughput associated with good fragmentation of material mined as well as operational improvements made to optimise feed to the SAG mill, pebble crusher and vertical tower mill.
  • Processed grade was lower as mill feed was mainly sourced from lower grade areas of the West Pit per the mining sequence.
• AISC was $950 per ounce due to planned sustaining capital expenditures, which were partially offset by lower unit mining costs associated with the low strip ratio and higher portion of oxide ore mined, and a lower unit processing cost due to higher throughput.
• Sustaining capital expenditure was $9.0 million and related predominantly to waste capitalisation at the West pit and the commencement of the TSF wall raise 3.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure was $3.9 million and related to pre-stripping at the East pit.

H1-2021 Insights

• Strong production during Q1-2021 offset the decrease in production during Q2-2021 as a result of lower average processed grade despite higher plant throughput.
  • Total tonnes mined was high, which is attributable to ramp up of mining activities following the commissioning of additional mining equipment during Q1-2021 and the benefit of mining on the top benches as well as lower strip ratio during Q2-2021. Pre-stripping activities at the East pit which started in Q1-2021 continued during Q2-2021. Tonnes of ore mined was mainly sourced from the West pit during H1-2021.
  • Tonnes milled increased through the period as a result of the higher mill utilisation due to better mining fragmentation, as well as the benefit of operational improvements to optimise the feed to the SAG mill, pebble crusher and vertical tower mill.
  • Average processed grade decreased during the period as the mill feed was increasingly sourced from the lower grade areas of the West Pit towards the end of the period, in accordance with the mining sequence, following completion of mining of the higher grade areas which required minimal waste stripping during the restart of mining activities in Q4-2020 and Q1-2021.
• AISC per ounce increased during Q2-2021 compared to Q1-2021 due to an increase in sustaining waste capital. Unit mining and unit processing cost decreased in Q2-2021 compared to Q1-2021, benefiting from increased tonnes mined and processed.
• Sustaining capital expenditures of $13.1 million during H1-2021 related to waste capitalisation at West pit and the commencement of the TSF wall raise 3.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $8.4 million related to pre-stripping at the East pit.
  
  

2021 Outlook

• Boungou is well positioned to meet its FY-2021 production guidance of 180 - 200koz, while AISC are expected to continue to trend above the guided $690 - 740 per ounce range as a result of higher fuel prices and increased security costs.
• Plant feed is expected to continue to be sourced from the West Pit with waste stripping activities continuing at the East Pit throughout the year. Mill throughput is expected to remain broadly consistent with H1-2021 performance, along with average processed grades, while recovery rates are expected to slightly decline due to the ore characteristics.
• The sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $19.0 million, of which $13.1 million has been incurred in H1-2021. The non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 also remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $22.0 million, of which $8.4 million has been incurred in H1-2021.
  
  

2021 Exploration Programme

• An exploration programme of up to $7.0 million has been planned for 2021, of which $4.6 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 24,307 meters of drilling across 245 drillholes. The exploration efforts were focused on delineating near mine targets and the area between the East and West pit.
• Drilling conducted in H1-2021 at Natougou NW identified a zone of higher-grade mineralisation trending north-northwest that extends for over 700 meters and remains open to the north. In H2-2021 drilling will focus on delineating this trend. Drilling at Natougou SE, Natougou SW and West Flanc targeted the extension of existing mineralised trends and the evaluation of inferred resources.
• At Boungou NW, H1-2021 drilling evaluated the continuation of the Boungou Shear Zone mineralisation. Initial results are promising and a complete review of all drill results in H2-2021 will guide follow-up drilling in 2022.

Q2-2021 vs Q2-2020 insights

• Production increased significantly relative to Q2-2020 due to higher plant throughput from the addition of high grade oxide materials sourced from the Kari Pump area while recovery rate remained consistent with prior periods.
  • Tonnes of ore mined increased due to an increase in the proportion of oxide ore tonnes mined and a lower strip ratio. Mining was focused on high grade oxide ore at Kari Pump and supplemented by fresh ore from the Vindaloo Center and Bouéré pits. Mining ramped up at Kari Pump following pre-stripping in Q2-2020 and the planned waste stripping in Q1-2021.
  • Tonnes milled increased due to the increased milling rate that resulted from higher proportion of oxide ore in the blend.
  • Average gold grade milled increased due to the benefit of higher grade ore from the Kari-Pump and Bouéré pits, supplemented by lower amounts of lower grade fresh ore from Vindaloo Center.
• AISC decreased due to lower sustaining capital which was offset by higher unit mining cost as a result of more tonnes sourced from the Kari Pump area which has a longer hauling distance. Processing unit costs remained consistent.
• Sustaining capital of $8.6 million is related to waste capitalisation at the Vindaloo Main pit.
• Non-sustaining capital of $3.0 million is related to the costs associated with the development of the Kari West pit.
  
  

H1-2021 vs H1-2020 Insights

• Production increased due to increased throughput and higher average processed grades, mainly as a result of the ramp-up of the Kari Pump deposit.
  • Tonnes of ore mined increased mainly due to the ramp up at the Kari Pump pit, which allowed further optionality in the mine plan compared to prior periods when Kari Pump was at the pre-stripping stage.
  • Tonnes milled increased as mill throughput improved due to the higher proportion of oxide ore from the Kari Pump pit, offsetting the higher volumes of fresh ore from the Vindaloo Main and Bouéré pits.
  • Average gold grade milled increased due to the addition of the high grade Kari Pump ore, which was supplemented by ore from the Vindaloo Main and the Bouéré pits.
• AISC decreased due to lower unit mining costs as a result of a lower strip ratio as well as the decrease in sustaining capital, which was slightly offset by higher royalties associated with the higher realised gold price, higher unit processing cost associated with scheduled maintenance and higher unit G&A costs as a result of increase in patent taxes and insurance with the commencement of mining Kari pump area.
  
  

2021 Outlook

• H1-2021 performance was stronger than scheduled due to good mining productivities achieved during the Kari Pump pre-stripping enabling, increased access to high grade oxide ore. As such, Houndé is on track to meet the top half of its FY-2021 production guidance of 240—260koz, with AISC expected to achieve the guided $855—905 per ounce range.
• Mining activities in H2-2021 will continue to focus on Kari Pump, supplemented by contributions from Bouéré and Vindaloo Centre pits. Mining is expected to focus on lower grade areas during the wet season and as a greater focus is placed on waste stripping activities, primarily related to Vindaloo Main pit and Kari West where the pre-strip is expected to be completed in late 2021. Throughput is expected to slightly decline in H2-2021, while recovery rates are expected to remain similar to H1-2021 and processed grade is expected to be lower following the higher grades brought forward in Q2-2021.
• The sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $39.0 million, of which $13.3 million has been incurred in H1-2021. The non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 also remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $13.0 million, of which $9.7 million has been incurred in H1-2021.

2021 Exploration Programme

• An exploration programme of up to $7.0 million has been planned for 2021 of which $6.8 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 68,871 meters of drilling across 630 drillholes. The exploration efforts were focused on Vindaloo South, Mambo and the intersection between Kari Gap and Kari Center.
• Drilling has confirmed that the Mambo target, located 12km from the Houndé plant, has the potential to be a significant discovery with mineralisation that extends over 800 meters in length and 200 meters wide and remains open to the southwest, northeast, and at depth. During H2-2021, step out drilling will target lateral extensions of Mambo to the southwest and northeast. A maiden resource at Mambo is expected to be published in H2-2021.
• During H1-2021 exploration in the Kari Area and at Vindaloo South was focussed on delineating mineralised extensions which will be pursued in H2-2021.

Q2-2021 vs Q2-2020 insights

• Production was ahead of expectation as higher-grade ore was brought forward in the mine plan and there was also higher throughput, higher processed average grade, as well as higher plant recovery rate while the prior quarter production was lower due to prioritising waste extraction.
  • Tonnes ore mined increased due to higher mining fleet availability and lower strip ratio. Ore extraction increased at Ity pit which benefited from lower strip ratio compared to Q2-2020 due to the planned cutback. In addition, mining activities commenced at the Walter pit and the Flotouo low grade dump providing greater operational flexibility.
  • Tonnes milled increased and performed above nameplate due to increased plant operating time as well as a higher proportion of oxide materials from the Daapleu, Bakatouo, Heap Dump, Flotouo dump and Colline Sud pits, with a slight increase in fresh blend sourced from Daapleu, Bakatouo and Ity pits.
  • Processed grade increased due to the benefit of the higher grade ore from the Bakatouo pit, which was supplemented with ore from the Daapleu and Walter pits.
  • Despite the higher proportion of transitional and fresh ore processed in Q2-2021, recovery rates increased, as higher quality material from Flotouo was treated preferentially displacing the more viscous Verse Ouest material.
• AISC per ounce increased due to higher unit mining costs as a result of longer hauling distance for ore mined from the newly commissioned Flotouo and Walter pits as well as the transition to contractor mining. In addition, unit processing costs increased due to the increase in the proportion of transitional and fresh material and the higher reagent consumption due to an increase in the proportion of Daapleu ore processed. Higher power costs impacted AISC by approximately $20/oz due to increased utilisation of generators as a result of temporarily reduced grid power availability. The cost increase was also impacted by higher sustaining capital expenditure.
• Sustaining capital expenditure of $7.1 million related primarily to waste stripping at the Ity, Walter and Colline Sud pit.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $8.4 million mainly related to the construction of the Stage 3 raise of the Tailings Storage Facility (“TSF”), the Le Plaque haul road construction, and the Cavally river diversion.
• During Q2-2021, Ity transitioned from owner mining to contract mining with Societe de Forage et des Travaux Publics (“SFTP”), a local contractor who are already performing contract mining services at our Karma and Boungou mines. As a part of the transition, the mining fleet at Ity were sold to SFTP for approximately $24.2 million.
  
  

H1-2021 vs H1-2020 Insights

• Production increased due to the higher throughput and higher processed grades.
  • Despite the slightly higher strip ratio in H1-2021, tonnes of ore mined increased due to higher mining fleet availability and commencement of mining at the Walter, Colline Sud and Flotouo pits, which in turn provided greater operational flexibility.
  • Tonnes milled increased due to increased mill utilisation and the supplemental processing of oxide ore through the surge bin.
  • Average gold grade milled increased in H1-2021 due to the higher grade ore sourced from the Bakatouo and Daapleu pits, whereas in H1-2020 a higher proportion of the mill feed was supplemented by lower grade oxide stockpiles, as mining was focused on waste extraction.
  • The higher proportion of fresh ore sourced from Daapleu in H1-2021 resulted in a slight decrease in recovery rates.
• AISC per ounce increased due to higher mining and processing unit costs and increased sustaining capital as a result of higher capitalised waste. The higher unit mining costs were a result of the longer haul distance for ore mined from the newly commissioned Walter and Flotouo pits, while the higher processing costs are due to a higher proportion of fresh ore being processed.

2021 Outlook

• H1-2021 performance was stronger than scheduled due to the benefit of a good processing performance with a combination of higher throughput, grade, and recovery. As such, Ity is on track to meet the top half of its FY-2021 production guidance of 230—250koz, with AISC expected to achieve the top-end of the guided $800—850 per ounce range.
• Waste extraction activities are expected to ramp up at the Ity pit in H2-2021 as stripping which was deferred from H1-2021 is carried out. As a result, the proportion of ore mined from Bakatouo, Daapleu and Colline Sud is expected to decrease in H2-2021. Throughput is expected to be slightly lower in H2-2021 compared to H1-2021 due to the onset of the wet season, while the average processed grade is expected to be lower due to a higher proportion of feed from historical lower grade stockpiles.
• The sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $28.0 million, of which $12.3 million has been incurred in H1-2021. Non-sustaining capital spend for FY-2021 is expected to amount to approximately $40.0 million, of which $20.4 million has been incurred in H1-2021. This increase compared to the initial H1-2021 guidance of $27.0 million is due to initiation of new optimization initiatives, primarily associated with reducing reagent consumption and enhancing recoveries.
  
  

2021 Exploration Programme

• An exploration programme of $9.0 million has been planned for 2021 of which $6.2 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 45,144 meters of drilling across 441 drillholes. The exploration efforts were focused on Le Plaque South (Delta Extension), West Flotouo (Verse Ouest), Daapleu Deep, Yopleu-Legaleu and the junction between Bakatouo and Walter.
• Drilling on the West Flotouo target, which was informed following a re-interpretation of structural and geological data, led to the discovery of a high grade mineralised lenses immediately below the former Flotouo dump, located in proximity to the plant. A maiden resource is expected to be published in late 2021.
• Drilling in the Le Plaque area focussed on extending mineralisation at Le Plaque South and Yopleu-Legaleu. An updated Le Plaque resource is expected to be published in late 2021.
• Drilling conducted at Daapleu confirmed that mineralisation extends at least 300 meters downdip of the current pit design and the target will be delineated further in H2-2021.
• Drilling at the junction between the Bakatouo and Walter deposits confirmed mineralisation is continuous and that it remains open at depth, and will therefore be further explored in H2-2021.

Q2-2021 vs Q2-2020 insights

• Production increased due to the increased stacking rate and higher average grade stacked offset by lower recovery rates on account of higher tonnage of GG1 ore stacked.
  • Total ore tonnes mined decreased slightly due to the increase in strip ratio at GG1 as higher transitional ore tonnes were mined. Ore continued to be sourced from the GG1 and Kao North pits.
  • Ore tonnes stacked slightly increased as a higher proportion of coarse material from the GG1 pit was available, with stacker availability and utilisation remaining consistent. Ore tonnes from the GG1 and Kao North pit were mostly oxide with a blend of transitional materials. The proportion of transitional material increased with stacked tonnes being supplemented by stockpiles.
  • The stacked ore grade increased due to a higher average grade sourced from the North Kao pit while the average grade from the GG1 remained flat.
  • Recovery rate decreased due to the increased proportion of ore from the GG1 pit and an increased proportion of transitional ore, which has a lower associated recovery rate.
• AISC per ounce increased due to increased mining strip ratio, with the completion of Kao North phase 3 and commencement of phase 4, lower recovery rate and higher royalties, which was partially offset by slightly lower mining and processing unit cost.
• Sustaining capital expenditure was $0.3 million and related to mining pit dewatering boreholes and other site equipment upgrades.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure was $2.1 million, which was related to construction of new cells within the heap leach pad.

H1-2021 vs H1-2020 Insights

• Production decreased despite the higher ore tonnes stacked due to lower grade material being stacked and lower recovery rates.
  • Ore tonnes mined decreased due to increased strip ratio and reduced mining at the Kao North pit which was partially offset by increased mining at the GG1 pit.
  • Ore tonnes stacked increased due to higher stacker utilisation which permitted stockpile to be processed to supplement the mill feed.
  • The average stacked grade decreased due to higher proportion of the low grade GG1 and low grade supplemental stockpile ore stacked in H1-2021 compared to H1-2020 where a higher proportion of the high grade Kao North ore was stacked.
  • Recovery rate decreased due to the increased GG1 ore and the transitional ore stacked, which has a lower associated recovery rate.
• AISC per ounce increased due to higher strip ratio, higher royalties as well as lower recovery rates.
• Sustaining capital expenditure was $0.5 million and related to mining pit dewatering boreholes and other site equipment upgrade.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure was $2.9 million and related to construction of new cells within the heap leach pad compared to non-sustaining costs in Q1-2020 related to the completion of the stacking system upgrades.

Outlook

• Given its strong H1-2021 performance, Karma is well positioned to meet its FY-2021 production guidance of 80—90koz at an AISC of $1,220—$1,300 per ounce.
• Mining activity is expected to focus on the GG1 pit for the remainder of the year. As a result of the increase in transitional material mined from the GG1 pit, processed grades and recoveries are expected to be lower in H2-2021, while ore stacked is expected to decrease in Q3-2021 due to the wet season, before returning to normal levels in Q4-2021.
• The sustaining capital outlook at Karma is expected to be significantly lower than the $11.0 million guided as a result of the waste development being included as an operating cost for 2021. The non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $5.0 million, of which $2.9 million has been incurred in H1-2021.
  
  

2021 Exploration Programme

• In H1-2021, exploration work was carried out as part of the advanced grade control drilling programme, with the aim of delineating near mine extensions and expediting their incorporation in the current mine plan. The focus was on Kao Main, Kao north, Rambo, GG1, GG2, Anomaly B and Kanongo, which will be pursued in H2-2021.

Q2-2021 Insights

• Production of 49,167 ounces is due to a higher plant throughput rate and utilisation, good recovery rates associated with ore milled from the Wona South pit and offset by lower average processed grades from the underground mine.
  • Open pit ore tonnes mined was higher following the planned waste development at the Wona South pit which provided access to a wider ore floor to be mined.
  • Total underground tonnes mined was lower due to reduced development ore meters advanced and fewer stope ore tonnes available for mining.
  • Tonnes milled increased due to an increase in mill availability and utilisation following the scheduled plant maintenance in Q1-2021 and higher plant throughput rate due to the softer ore characteristics in Wona South compared to Wona North.
  • The average processed grade decreased due to lower open pit grades mined from the Wona South Pit.
• AISC was higher due to high open pit unit mining costs as a result of increased production drilling and blasting activities in the fresh ore areas of Wona South pit, as well as higher underground unit mining cost due to additional ground support installed. The higher costs were partially offset by lower processing unit costs due to improved power supply from newly installed generators.
• Sustaining capital of $5.2 million is related to underground development to create new stoping levels.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $21.1 million was mainly related to open pit waste capitalisation at the Wona South Stage 3 pit and TSF raise.

H1-2021 Insights

• Production in Q2-2021 decreased compared to Q1-2021 due to a reduction in the average processed grade which was slightly offset by the increase in plant throughput.
  • Total open pit tonnes of ore mined was higher in Q2-2021, as a result of the lower strip ratio, following the planned waste development at the Wona South pit in Q1-2021 and final benches of mining in the Wona North Stage 3 pit. In Q2-2021 ore was mainly sourced from Wona Main and Wona South Pits while mining at Wona North Stage 3 completed during Q1-2021.
  • Total underground ore tonnes mined in Q2-2021 decreased as underground mining focused on development and backfilling.
  • Tonnes milled increased in Q2-2021 due to an increase in mill utilisation and average throughput per hour due to the softer ore characteristics of Wona South pit which resulted in the higher plant throughput. The ore processed in both Q1-2021 and Q2-2021 was mainly fresh materials, sourced from both the open pit and underground mines.
  • The average processed grade was high due to higher processed grade sourced from Wona Main pit during Q1-2021 despite the lower average grade during Q2-2021.
• AISC was higher but remains within guidance due to higher open pit unit mining costs in Q2-2021 compared to Q1-2021 as a result of higher production drilling and blasting activities in the fresh ore areas of Wona South pit, as well as higher underground unit mining costs as a result of increased stope activity costs.
• Sustaining capital expenditures of $8.0 million are related to underground development, as well as heavy mobile equipment.
• Non-sustaining capital of $45.2 million primarily related to open pit waste development, and a TSF raise.

Outlook

• Given its strong H1-2021 performance driven by strong mill throughput and grades, Mana is well positioned to meet its FY-2021 production guidance of 170 - 190koz at an AISC of $975 - 1,050 per ounce.
• In H2-2021, ore will continue to be sourced from the Siou underground mine while open pit mining activities at Siou are expected to wind down. Following optimization studies completed in Q2-2021, Wona will be pursued as an underground operation rather than being continued as an open pit operation and eliminate the need for a large pit cut-back. Underground development at Wona will therefore be expedited, with decline development expected to commence in Q3-2021. Mill throughput and grades are expected to be slightly lower in H2-2021, compared to H1-2021, while recovery rates are expected to remain similar.
• The total sustaining and non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged. As a result of the reduction in required stripping activities at Wona, following the decision to shift to underground mining, the FY-2021 sustaining capital outlook is expected to be significantly lower than the $27.0 million guided, of which $8.0 million has been incurred in H1-2021. Due to the reallocation of capital for the Wona underground development, the non-sustaining capital outlook for FY-2021 is expected to amount to slightly more the $62.0 million guided, of which $45.2 million has been incurred in H1-2021.

2021 Exploration Programme

• An exploration programme of up to $8.0 million has been planned for 2021 of which $7.1 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 59,620 meters of drilling across 459 drillholes. The exploration efforts were focused on oxide open pit targets, such as Maoula, and on evaluating underground targets at Siou and Nyafe.
• Drilling conducted at Maoula confirmed and extended mineralisation in the western and eastern lenses of the deposit. In H2-2021, exploration work will continue to focus on defining indicated resources and extending the mineralised trend to the southwest, where the deposit remains open. Some delineation drilling was also conducted at Kona North, T2K and Bana West where generally lower grade and non-continuous mineralisation was intercepted.
• Deeper drilling conducted at Siou South, intersected higher grade mineralised zones adjacent to the planned underground development. In H2-2021 further drilling will focus on delineating these higher grade zones.
• At Nyafe, historic drilling and exploitation activities were largely restricted to defining and mining oxide ore due to the refractive nature of the sulphide mineralisation. Scout diamond holes drilled beneath the pits confirmed the down-dip continuation of the structures and higher grade mineralisation. Further drilling is planned to start in late 2021.

Q2-2021 Insights

• Strong production of 95,856 ounces due to a higher throughput, better average gold grade milled as well as expected recovery rate and represents the first full quarter of production following the acquisition on 10 February 2021.
  • Total tonnes mined during the quarter were associated to favourable mining conditions and good productivity of mining equipment. Furthermore, the short haul road profile and short dumping sequencing also contributed to higher tonnes mined.
  • Ore mined was mainly sourced from Sofia Main and Sofia North pits on the Massawa lease following the completion of mining at Golouma West and Kourouloulou pits on the Sabodala lease in Q1-2021.
  • Tonnes milled were high due to a long processing plant run time despite a greater proportion of fresh ore materials milled. Ore tonnes milled comprised mainly fresh ore from the Sofia Main pit, supplemented by oxide material from Sofia North pit.
  • Average processed grades were high due to processing high grade fresh materials sourced from Sofia Main, supplemented by oxide ore from the Sofia North pit.
• AISC of $637 per ounce was as expected due to planned sustaining capital as unit mining and unit processing cost remained as anticipated.
• Sustaining capital expenditure of $8.9 million was related to purchases of additional mining equipment, TSF raise and planned waste capitalisation.
• Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $5.2 million mostly related to the relocation activities of the Sabodala village, the new haul road and infrastructure developments at the Massawa permit mining areas.

H1-2021 Insights

• Strong production of 134,804 ounces represents operations following the acquisition on 10 February 2021. Production ramped up in Q2-2021 due to longer operating time and higher processed grades, as the throughput rate remained constant.
  • Tonnes ore mined increased in Q2-2021 due to the longer operating time, lower strip ratio, favourable mining conditions and good productivity of mining equipment. Ore was mainly sourced from the Sofia Main and Sofia North during H1-2021 supplemented by ore from Golouma and Kourouloulou during Q1-2021.
  • Tonnes milled were mainly fresh materials from the Sofia Main pit while the oxide blend was sourced from the Sofia North during H1-2021 supplemented by oxide from Golouma West during Q1-2021.
  • The average processed grade for the period benefited from the processing of fresh high grade from the Sofia Main pit.

AISC per ounce was as expected due to conformity to mine plan, scheduled feed blend yielding a stable recovery rate, as well as anticipated sustaining capital expenditure.

Sustaining capital expenditure of $18.4 million was related to purchases of additional mining equipment, TSF raise and planned waste capitalisation.

Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $9.7 million mostly related to the relocation activities of the Sabodala village, the new haul road and infrastructure developments at the Massawa permit mining areas.

2021 Outlook

Given its strong H1-2021 performance, Sabodala-Massawa is well positioned to meet its FY-2021 production guidance of 310—330koz at an AISC of $690—740 per ounce, for the post acquisition period commencing on 10 February 2021.

The Sofia Main and Sofia North pits will continue to contribute the majority of the ore mined for the remainder of 2021, while waste extraction at Sofia North is expected to increase in H2-2021. Mill throughput and process grades are expected to slightly decrease in H2-2021, compared to Q2-2021, while recovery rates are expected to remain similar.

The sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 is expected to be slightly above the previously guided $35.0 million, of which $18.4 million has been incurred in H1-2021, due to investments in mining fleet and additional equipment. The non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 is expected to be slightly below the guided $47.0 million, of which $9.7 million has been incurred in H1-2021 due to the deferral of spend on the Sabodala relocation construction and development costs as a greater focus is placed on mining the Sofia pits.

Plant Expansion

The Massawa deposit is being integrated into the Sabodala mine through a two-phased approach, as outlined in the 2020 pre-feasibility study (“PFS”).

Phase 1 of the plant expansion will facilitate processing of an increased proportion of high grade, free-milling Massawa ore through the Sabodala processing plant.
Civil works for phase 1 are now complete ahead of schedule, and the installation and commissioning of the additional electrowinning cell, a carbon regeneration kiln, an acid wash and elution circuit, an additional leach tank and the gravity circuit has commenced and the project is on schedule for completion in Q4-2021. In H1-2021 a total of $7.6 million was incurred for the Phase 1 plant expansion and classified as growth capital, of which $0.3 million was incurred prior to its acquisition on 10 February 2021.
Phase 2 of the expansion will add an additional processing circuit to process the high grade refractory ore from the Massawa deposit. The definitive feasibility study (“DFS”) for Phase 2 is underway and is on track for completion in Q4-2021.

2021 Exploration Programme

An exploration programme of up to $13.0 million has been planned for 2021 of which $3.5 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 46,439 meters of drilling across 414 drillholes. The exploration efforts were focused on Samina, Tina and other non-refractory targets within the Massawa area. Following the exploration success, an updated resource is expected to be published in late 2021.
Drilling conducted at the Samina deposit focussed on extending the 500 meters mineralised strike length to over 900 meters, while mineralisation remains open to the north.
Drilling conducted at the Tina deposit focussed on expanding the inferred resources defined in 2019. The mineralised strike length has been extended by over 300 meters and the deposit remains open to the north and southeast.
Drilling conducted at the Sofia North deposit followed up on the previously identified Sofia North extension. The extension has been identified to extend over 800 meters along strike and is 150 meters wide, remaining open to the north.
During the remainder of 2021, exploration work will be focussed on defining resources at Samina, Tina and the Sofia North Extension as well as follow up drilling on other Massawa project area targets.

Q2-2021 Insights

Strong production of 40,991 ounces was due to a high throughput and a high recovery rate despite a lower average gold grade milled. Production for Q2-2021 represents the first full quarter of production following the acquisition on 10 February 2021.

Tonnes of ore mined were mainly sourced from the Nogbele North and Nogbele South mining areas, supplemented with ore from the Fourkoura pit where mining commenced earlier this year.

Tonnes milled was a blend of greater quantities of oxide materials sourced from Nogbele North and Nogbele South and smaller oxide quantities from the Fourkoura pit while fresh materials mostly sourced from the Nogbele North pit.

Average gold grade milled was impacted by mining in low ore zones of the Nogbele South and Fourkoura pits due to focus on waste stripping.

AISC per ounce is in line with guidance despite an expected high waste capitalisation cost related to high strip ratio at the Fourkoura pits.

Sustaining capital expenditure of $2.5 million was related to waste capitalisation and other mining equipment and IT infrastructure upgrade.

Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $9.0 million related to the TSF stage 2 raise, construction of the airstrip and Foukoura resettlement costs.

H1-2021 Insights

Production represents operations following the acquisition on 10 February 2021. Production was higher in Q2-2021 due to a full quarter of operations and a higher grade which more than offset a lower grade and a shorter consolidation period in Q1-2021.

Total tonnes mined increased in the second quarter due to the consolidation of a full quarter of results in Q2-2021. Tonnes of ore mined were mainly sourced from the Nogbele North and Nogbele South Pits, supplemented with ore from the Fourkoura pit where mining commenced earlier this year.

Tonnes milled were mainly oxide materials sourced from Nogbele North pit during H1-2021 supplemented by fresh ore from Fourkoura and oxide from Nogbele South during Q1-2021 and Q2-2021 respectively.

Average gold grade milled was impacted by mining in low ore zones of the Nogbele South and Fourkoura pits due to focus on waste stripping during the period.

AISC per ounce is in line with guidance as sustaining capital expenditure, unit mining cost and unit processing cost were as expected.

Sustaining capital expenditure of $3.4 million was related to waste capitalisation and other mining equipment and IT infrastructure upgrades.

Non-sustaining capital expenditure of $12.8 million related to the TSF stage 2 raise, construction of the airstrip and Foukoura resettlement costs.

2021 Outlook

Given its strong H1-2021 performance, Wahgnion is well positioned to meet its FY-2021 production guidance of 140—155koz at an AISC of $940—990 per ounce, for the post acquisition period commencing on 10 February 2021.

Mining is expected to continue at Nogbele North, Nogbele South, and Fourkoura pits with significant waste development continuing throughout the year. Plant throughput is expected to decrease in H2-2021 compared to H1-2021 due to the wet season and a higher proportion of fresh ore being processed, while process grades are expected to increase and recovery rates to slightly decline.

The sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $14.0 million, of which $3.4 million has been incurred in H1-2021, with the remaining spend mainly related to waste extraction. The non-sustaining capital spend outlook for FY-2021 also remains unchanged compared to the initial guidance of $26.0 million, of which $12.8 million has been incurred in H1-2021. The H2-2021 non-sustaining spend mainly relates to construction of a second TSF cell.

2021 Exploration Programme

An exploration programme of up to $12.0 million has been planned for 2021 of which $2.6 million was spent in H1-2021 consisting of 9,565 meters of drilling across 81 drillholes. The exploration efforts focused on Nogbele North and Nogbele South deposits, targeting the continuation of mineralised structures between the Nogbele pits.

Exploration efforts are expected to ramp up in H2-2021, and will continue to focus on the extension and expansion of the Nogbele mineralisation. Additionally, the north-northeast continuation of the Fourkoura deposit and the Hillside target will be tested for extensions. Reconnaissance drilling at various attractive targets such as Kafina West and Korindougou will also be completed in H2-2021.

³ Analysis of operations is only for the period up to its disposal by Endeavour on 1 March 2021.

On 1 March 2021, the Company completed the sale of its 85% interest in the Agbaou mine cash generating unit to Allied Gold Corp Limited ("Allied"). The consideration upon sale of the Agbaou mine included (i) a cash payment of $16.4 million (net of working capital adjustments of $3.6 million upon closing), of which $10.5 million was received in the first quarter of 2021; (ii) $40.0 million in Allied shares of which Endeavour has the option to sell the shares back to Allied at the issue price which expires on 31 December 2022 or earlier if Allied conducts an IPO before then; (iii) contingent consideration of up to $20.0 million comprised of $5.0 million payments for each quarter where the average gold price exceeds $1,900 per ounce; and (iv) a net smelter royalty ("NSR") on ounces produced in excess of the Agbaou reserves estimated as at 31 December 2019. The NSR royalty is based on a sliding scale, linked to the average spot gold price as follows: 2.5% if the gold price is at least $1,400 per ounce, 2% if the gold price is at least $1,200 per ounce and less than $1,400 per ounce, 1% if the gold price is at least $1,000 per ounce and less than $1,200 per ounce, and 0% if the gold price is below $1,000 per ounce.

H1-2021 vs H1-2020 Insights

Production decreased compared to same period in prior year due to operating the mine for a shorter period as the operations was discontinued through a sale. Average grade decreased due to lower grade at the deeper elevation of the North, West and South pits mined. Recovery rate remained flat.
AISC increased in line with expectation as a result of lower ounces sold as well as higher mining cost and higher processing cost. This was partially offset by lower sustaining capital spend.

Review of results for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021:

Revenue for Q2-2021 was $753.4 million compared to $209.6 million for Q2-2020. The increase in revenue in Q2-2021 over Q2-2020 was mainly due to the acquisition of the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa operating mines on 10 February 2021 and the acquisition of the Mana and Boungou operating mines on 1 July 2020. During Q2-2021, the Wahgnion, Sabodala-Massawa, Mana and Boungou mines contributed 234,942 ounces amounting to $421.3 million of the consolidated revenue while the legacy mines contributed 185,819 ounces amounting to $332.2 million. With respect to the three legacy operations, an increase in total ounces sold favourably impacted revenue by $104.2 million while an increase in average realised price favourably impacted revenue by $18.4 million.

Revenue for H1-2021 increased by 219% compared to H1-2020 due to the acquired Mana, Boungou, Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines, subsequent to H1-2020, which contributed a total of $771.6 million to revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2021. The realised gold price increased from $1,603 per ounce in H1-2020 to $1,771 per ounce in H1-2021 which accounted for an increase in revenue of approximately $53.4 million for the Company’s three legacy continuing operations. In addition, an additional 77,837 ounces sold in H1-2021 compared to H1-2020 from the Company’s three legacy mines favourably impacted revenue by $128.3 million.

Operating expenses for Q2-2021 were $278.2 million compared to $83.2 million in Q2-2020. The increase in operating expenses is mainly due to the addition of the Wahgnion, Sabodala-Massawa, Mana and Boungou mines , with attributable operating expenses of $161.6 million for the current quarter. Additionally, operating expenses increased at Ity by $22.1 million due to higher mining and processing cost on account of ore sourced from the Daapleu pit which has a longer hauling distance and associated higher reagent consumption cost. Operating expenses increased by $8.0 million at Karma as a result of increased cyanide consumption due to processing a higher proportion of GG1 materials.

The significant increase in operating expenses in H1-2021 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to the addition of the Mana and Boungou mines, which were acquired on 1 July 2020, as well as the acquisition of the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines, which were acquired on 10 February 2021. The total operating expenses for the four additional mines was $305.1 million. Ity, Karma and Hounde mine’s operating expenses were higher in H1-2021 compared to same period in 2020 due to increased contractor mining costs as well as increased production at Ity and Houndé.

Depreciation and depletion in Q2-2021 was $158.4 million compared to $35.5 million in Q2-2020 with the increase mainly attributable to the acquisition of the Wahgnion, Sabodala-Massawa, Mana and Boungou mines. Depreciation and depletion increased in H1-2021 by $211.9 million compared to H1-2020 with the inclusion of Mana, Boungou, Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa subsequent to H1-2020. The depletion charge also reflects the higher carrying values for the mining interests upon determination of the fair values of the various mines upon acquisition.

Royalties were $43.9 million for Q2-2021, compared to $15.3 million in Q2-2020, and $88.3 million in H1-2021 compared to $30.4 million in H1-2020. The increase in royalty expense in the quarter and the year to date is due to the inclusion of the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines acquired on 10 February, 2021, and the Mana and Boungou mines acquired on 1 July, 2020. Royalties were further impacted by the increase in the realised gold price, which influenced the underlying royalty rate based on the applicable sliding scale (in Burkina Faso, a spot price of gold above $1,300 per ounce increases the government royalty rates from 4.0% to 5.0%, and in Côte d'Ivoire, a spot price of gold above $1,600 per ounce increases the royalty rates from 4.0% to 5.0%). The gold royalty rate in Senegal is a flat 5%.

Corporate costs were $15.9 million for Q2-2021 compared to $5.0 million for Q2-2020, and $30.2 million for H1-2021 compared to $10.3 million for H1-2020. The increase in corporate costs are primarily due to costs associated with listing on the LSE as well as additional corporate costs following the integration of SEMAFO Inc. (“SEMAFO”) and Teranga head office costs.

Acquisition and restructuring costs were $14.5 million in Q2-2021 compared to $2.6 million in Q2-2020, and $26.7 million in H1-2021 compared to $6.9 million in H1-2020. Costs increased in 2021 compared to the comparative period due to the acquisition of SEMAFO on 1 July 2020, and Teranga on 10 February 2021 and the costs related to the integration of the two entities into the Endeavour Group.

Share based compensation was $9.8 million in Q2-2021 compared to $4.9 million for Q2-2020, and $17.8 million in H1-2021 compared to $6.6 million in H1-2020. The increase is mainly due to the increase in fair value of performance share units (“PSUs”) granted. The fair value of the PSUs is determined based on total shareholder return relative to peer companies and achieving certain operational performance measures.

Exploration costs in Q2-2021 were $5.9 million compared to $1.8 million in Q2-2020, and $15.7 million in H1-2021 compared to $3.1 million in H1-2020. The increase in exploration cost is related to a larger exploration portfolio and increased greenfield exploration activities mainly at the newly acquired Teranga exploration properties.

The loss on financial instruments was $14.8 million in Q2-2021 compared to a loss of $72.3 million in Q2-2020. The loss in Q2-2021 is mainly due to the net impact of a loss on change in fair value of the warrant liabilities and call rights of $5.3 million and $7.0 million respectively, and foreign exchange losses of $7.2 million. In H1-2021 there was a gain on financial instruments of $27.3 million compared to a loss in the comparative prior period of $75.0 million The gain in H1-2021 is primarily due to the net impact of the unrealised gain/(loss) on convertible senior bond derivative of $30.0 million, loss on foreign exchange of $6.2 million, and a loss on change in fair value of warrant liabilities $1.5 million.

Finance costs were $13.7 million for Q2-2021 compared to $11.8 million in Q2-2020, and $26.0 million in H1-2021 compared to $23.3 million in H1-2020. Finance costs are primarily associated with interest expense on the revolving credit facility (“RCF”) and bridge facility, convertible debt, finance obligations, and lease liabilities.

Other expenses increased from $1.8 million in Q2-2020 to $7.1 million for Q2-2021 mainly due to a loss on disposal of assets at Ity of $2.4 million. Other expenses for H1-2021 was $10.5 million compared to an income of $0.1 million in H1-2020. Other expense for H1-2021 mainly relates to the loss on disposal of assets at Ity, as well as legal and covid related expenses at Corporate of $1.6 million.

Current income tax expense was $44.5 million and $116.6 million in Q2-2021 and H1-2021 respectively compared to $0.3 million and $19.3 million in Q2-2020 and H1-2020 respectively. Current income tax expense for Q2-2021 increased in comparison to Q2-2020 primarily due to the inclusion of the current tax expense at the Mana and Boungou mines which were acquired at the start of Q3-2020 along with the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines acquired in Q1-2021. Current income tax expense for H1-2021 increased when compared to H1-2020 due to the inclusion of the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines acquired in Q1-2021.

Operating cash flows before changes in working capital for Q2-2021 and H1-2021 were $285.7 million and $549.1 million respectively compared to $74.9 million in Q2-2020 and $170.2 million in H1-2020. The increase in the comparative periods is attributable to the acquisition of the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa operating mines on 10 February 2021 and the acquisition of the Mana and Boungou operating mines on 1 July 2020, as well as a higher realised gold price.

Income taxes paid were $106.5 million in Q2-2021 and $130.1 million in H1-2021 compared to $8.2 million and $16.8 million in Q2-2020 and H1-2020, respectively. These higher cash payments relative to the comparative periods are reflective of the increase in the Company’s earnings and higher provisional payments in 2021 based on 2020 earnings. Taxes paid for the three and six months ended 30 June 2020 are displayed in the table below:

The Q2-2021 and H1-2021 change in working capital is an inflow of $14.8 million and an outflow of $41.9 million respectively, which is broken down as follows:

Receivables were an inflow of $11.0 million for Q2-2021 and an outflow of $5.4 million for H1-2021. The inflow in Q2-2021 is mainly due to a decrease in amounts receivable from a third party at corporate of $8.0 million. The H1-2021 outflow is mainly due to the increase in VAT receivable at Mana, Houndé and Boungou mines.

Inventories were an inflow of $4.1 million for Q2-2021 and an inflow of $24.8 million in H1-2021. The inflow in Q2-2021 due primarily to the decrease in inventory stockpiles and finished gold balances at Ity, Sabodala-Massawa and Wahgnion which were slightly offset by an increase in gold in circuit (“GIC”) at Mana and Sabodala-Massawa. The inflow in H1-2021 is mainly due to a decrease in finished goods and consumables at Ity, Sabodala-Massawa, Wahgnion and Mana offset partially by an increase in stockpiles at Sabodala-Massawa and Houndé.

Prepaid expenses and other was an inflow of $9.0 million for Q2-2021 and an outflow of $3.9 million for H1-2021 . The inflow in Q2-2021 was mainly due to a decrease in prepayments at Boungou of $3.9 million and at Sabodala-Massawa of $3.7 million. The outflow for H1-2021 was mainly due to an increase in prepaid capital at Sabodala-Massawa of $5.2 million offset by a decrease in prepayments at Boungou of $1.8 million.

Accounts payable was an outflow of $9.3 million in Q2-2021 and $57.4 million in H1-2021. The outflow in Q2-2021 mainly relates to payments made at Ity and Mana, while payments made at Houndé and acquisition related costs paid in relation to the Teranga acquisition also contributed to the outflow in H1-2021.

Operating cash flows after changes in working capital in Q2-2021 and H1-2021 were $300.5 million and $498.4 million respectively compared to $57.4 million and $183.4 million in Q2-2020 and H1-2020 respectively. Q2-2021 increased by $243.1 million compared to Q2-2020 mainly due to a higher realised gold price and the inflow in working capital due to the reduction in receivable balances and inventories as well the production from the newly acquired mines. H1-2021 has increased by $315.0 million relative to H1 2020 due to increased production for the year from the Company’s existing mines, as well as from the Wahgnion, Sabodala-Massawa, Mana and Boungou mines, at higher realised gold prices.

Cash flows used by investing activities were $137.3 million and $242.6 million in Q2-2021 and H1-2021 respectively compared to and $48.1 million and $105.3 million in Q2-2020 and H1-2020 respectively. The Q2-2021 amount has increased relative to Q2-2020 mainly due to expenditure on mining interests of $144.0 million given the increase in the size of the Group’s operations.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $191.8 million and $127.2 million in Q2-2021 and H1-2021 respectively compared to a cash outflow of $15.8 million and a cash inflow of $83.7 million in Q2-2020 and H1-2020 respectively. A repayment of long-term debt of $120.0 million, payments for the acquisition of the Company’s own shares of $59.5 million and repayments of finance and lease obligations of $7.9 million. The outflow in H1-2021 was due to a net repayment of long-term debt of $73.0 million, a payment of dividends amounting to $60.0 million, the settlement of the gold offtake agreement which was acquired from Teranga amounting to $49.7 million, repayments of lease obligations of $18.7 million offset by proceeds received from the issue of common shares of $200.0 million.

Other long-term assets are made up of $262.2 million of goodwill related to the Semafo and Teranga acquisitions, $146.7 million of long-term stockpiles not expected to be used in the next twelve months at the Ity, Sabodala-Massawa and Houndé mines, $47.2 million long-term asset related to the sale of Agbaou, as well as $29.7 million of restricted cash relating to reclamation bonds. Other long-term assets increased by $312.3 million in 2021 compared to Q4-2020 mainly due to the recognition of goodwill arising from the transaction with Teranga, as well as the long-term asset of $45.9 million recognised for the sale of Agbaou.

Other current liabilities are made up of $374.0 million of trade and other payables, $31.3 million of derivatives related to warrants and call-rights, and $16.1 million of lease obligations. Trade and other payables increased by $111.7 million mainly due to the inclusion of the Teranga assets accounting for an additional $110.9 million compared to prior year.

Equity and Capital

On 14 June 2021, the Company announced its entire issued ordinary share capital consisting of 250,491,775 shares had been admitted to the premium listing segment of the LSE. The Company no longer has authorised share capital. The table below summarises Endeavour’s share structure at 30 June 2021.

Table 33: Outstanding Shares

	30 June 2021		31 December 2020
Shares issued and outstanding	250,553,482		163,036,473
Stock options	2,059,394		—

As at 3 August 2021, the Company had 250,025,450 shares issued and outstanding, and 2,055,394 outstanding stock options.

As part of the Company’s share buyback programme, subsequent to 30 June 2021 and up to 3 August 2021, the Company has repurchased a total of 363,497 shares at an average price of $23.0, for total cash outflows of $8.4 million.

Going Concern

The directors have performed an assessment of whether the Company would be able to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve-month period. In their assessment, the Company has taken into account its financial position, expected future trading performance, its debt and other available credit facilities, future debt servicing requirements, its working capital and capital expenditure commitments and forecasts.

At 30 June 2021, the Company’s net debt was $77.1 million with gross debt of $910.0 million and gross liquid funds of $832.9 million.

Based on a detailed cash flow forecast prepared by management, in which it included any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the cash flow forecast is based, and taking into account possible changes in performance due to the COVID-19 pandemic impact, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for twelve months from 3 August 2021 and that at this point in time there are no material uncertainties regarding going concern. Key assumptions underpinning this forecast include a gold price of $1,500 per ounce and production volumes in line with annual guidance.

The Board is satisfied that the going concern basis of accounting is an appropriate assumption to adopt in the preparation of the half year report for the period ended 30 June 2021.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A related party is considered to include shareholders, affiliates, associates and entities under common control with the Company and members of key management personnel.

Key management compensation

During the six months ended 30 June 2021, an amount of $13.5 million was paid to key management personnel as incentive awards for the completion of the Teranga and SEMAFO acquisitions and the successful listing on the LSE, as well as for termination benefits following the acquisition of SEMAFO and Teranga.

Other related party transactions

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2021, the Company entered into a transaction with La Mancha Holding S.àr.l. (“La Mancha”) when La Mancha exercised its anti-dilution right to maintain its interest in the Company and completed a $200.0 million private placement for 8,910,592 shares of Endeavour. La Mancha’s future anti-dilution rights have now been extinguished and La Mancha’s ownership interest in Endeavour was 19.1% at 30 June 2021 (31 December 2021 - 24.1%).

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2021, and prior to the Company listing on the London Stock Exchange, the Company established an Employee Benefits Trust (“EBT”) in connection with the Company’s employee share incentive plans , which may hold repurchased shares on trust to settle future employee share incentive obligations. During the three months ended 30 June 2021, the EBT acquired 576,308 outstanding common shares from certain employees of the Group, which remain held in the EBT at 30 June 2021. In exchange for the shares, the Group is obligated to repay the employees cash for the fair value of the underlying shares of the Company now held in the EBT. The amount of this liability is $12.4 million at 30 June 2021 and is included in current financial liabilities.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS

Critical judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The Company’s management has made critical judgments and estimates in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies to the consolidated financial statements that have significant effects on the amounts recognised in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These judgements and estimations include commencement of commercial production, determination of economic viability, functional currency, indicators of impairment and impairment of mining interests, assets held for sale and discontinued operations, value added tax, estimated recoverable ounces, mineral reserves, environmental rehabilitation costs, share-based payments, net realisable value and obsolete stock provisions of inventories, current income tax provisions, business combinations, capitalisation of waste stripping, the Purchase Price Allocation (“PPA”) of the SEMAFO acquisition. and the PPA of the Teranga acquisition, which is still provisional. The judgements applied in the period ended 30 June 2021 are consistent with those in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the judgements and estimates made relating to the acquisition of Teranga in the quarter ended 31 March, 2021.

6. USE OF PROCEEDS

In the Company’s prospectus supplement dated 29 March 2021 to the short form base shelf prospectus dated 17 June 2020, the Company disclosed that they intended to use the proceeds of $200.0 million from the issuance of approximately 8.9 million common shares to partially repay outstanding indebtedness under the refinancing of the debt upon the acquisition of Teranga and for general corporate purposes. The Company repaid $120.0 million of the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility in Q2-2021. The remainder of the proceeds are included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2021 and are being used for general working capital purposes, including fees related to the acquisition and integration of Teranga, expenses related to the London listing, as well as general corporate costs. There has been no change on how the remaining proceeds are expected to be used.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

This Management Report as well as the Company’s other disclosures contain multiple non-GAAP measures, which the Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use to assess the performance of the Company. These do not have a standard meaning and are intended to provide additional information which are not necessarily comparable with similar measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The definitions of these measures, and the reconciliation to the amounts presented in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, and the reasons for these measures are included below. The non-GAAP measures are consistent with those presented previously and there have been no changes to the bases of calculation, except with respect to the determination of free cash flows, the definition of which has been changed to be more consistent with our peers and reflective of how management evaluates the free cash flows of the Company.

ALL-IN MARGIN

The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use the all-in margin and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flows and service debt. These do not have a standard meaning and are intended to provide additional information which are not necessarily comparable with similar measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following tables provide the illustration of the calculation of this margin, for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020.

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA

The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and the adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flows and service debt. The following tables provide the illustration of the calculation of this margin, for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020.

¹Corporate G&A costs included in the calculation for all-in sustaining costs has been adjusted to exclude expenses associated to listing on the LSE of $8.2 million for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021.

The Company presents its sustaining capital expenditures in its all-in sustaining costs to reflect the capital expenditures related to producing and selling gold from its on-going mine operations. The distinction between sustaining and non-sustaining capital reflects the definition set out by the World Gold Council. Non-sustaining capital is capital expenditure incurred at new projects and costs related to major projects or expansions at existing operations where these projects will materially benefit the operations. This non‐GAAP measure provides investors with transparency regarding the capital costs required to support the on-going operations at its mines, relative to its total capital expenditures. Readers should be aware that these measures do not have a standardised meaning. It is 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.

ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS AND ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net earnings have been adjusted for items considered exceptional in nature and not related to Endeavour’s core operation of mining assets. The presentation of adjusted net earnings may assist investors and analysts to understand the underlying operating performance of our core mining business. However, adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share do not have a standard meaning under IFRS. They should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS.

The following table reconciles these non‐GAAP measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

The calculation of net debt and net cash is shown in table 32. The following table explains the calculation of net debt, net cash/Adjusted EBITDA ratio using the last twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA.

Table 43: Net Debt, Net Cash/ Adjusted EBITDA ratio

($'000s)	30 June 2021		31 March 2021
Net Debt/(Cash)	77,123		(74,675)
Trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA1	1,072,668		802,773
Net Debt/(Cash) / Adjusted EBITDA LTM ratio	0.07		(0.09)

¹ Trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA is as reported in prior periods for each quarter prior to Q2-2021.

RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED

The Company uses Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”) as a measure of long-term operating performance to measure how effectively management utilises the capital it has been provided. The calculation of ROCE, expressed as a percentage, is Adjusted EBIT (based on Adjusted EBITDA as per table 35 adjusted to include Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations) divided by the average of the opening and closing capital employed for the twelve months preceding the period end. Capital employed is the total assets less current liabilities.

Table 44: Return on Capital Employed

	TRAILING TWELVE MONTHS
($'000s unless otherwise stated)	30 June 2021		30 June 2020
Adjusted EBITDA	1,072,668		471,013
Depreciation and amortization	(473,084)		(205,406)
Adjusted EBIT (A)	599,584		265,607
Opening Capital employed (B)	1,807,766		1,753,857
Total Assets	6,885,769		2,057,124
Current Liabilities	(640,593)		(249,358)

Average Capital Employed (D)=(B+C)/21	3,727,808		1,780,812
ROCE (A)/(D)	16%		15%

¹ Assets for Teranga and SEMAFO have been included in the calculation from the date of their acquisition by Endeavour on 10 February, 2021 and 1 July, 2020 respectively.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Readers of this Management Report should consider the information included in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes for the six months ended 30 June 2021. The nature of the Company’s activities and the locations in which it works mean that the Company’s business generally is exposed to significant risk factors, many of which are beyond its control. The Company examines the various risks to which it is exposed and assesses any impact and likelihood of those risks. For discussion on all the risk factors that affect the Company’s business generally, please refer to the prospectus prepared as part of the admission to the premium listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (the “Prospectus”) and which is available on its website, www.endeavourmining.com, its most recent Annual Information Form filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Risks and potential liabilities related to our tailings storage facilities.

Risks and expenses related to reclamation costs and related liabilities.

The Company’s ability to maintain or increase the present level of gold production is dependent in part on the Company’s development projects, which are subject to numerous known and unknown risks.

No assurance can be given that the current or future mineral production estimates will be achieved.

Future exploration and development projects may not results in economically viable mining operations or yield new reserves.

Risks associated with illegal or artisanal mining, which may, among other things, create environmental, health and safety risks.

Surrounding communities may affect mining operations through restriction of access of supplies and workforce to mine site or through legal challenges asserting ownership rights.

The Company depends on management and skilled personnel and may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future.

French officials are conducting a judicial inquiry into certain past employees of Areva S.A. (“Areva”), including into our CEO Sébastien de Montessus in relation to his time as an employee of Areva, which could lead to negative publicity and/or reputational damage for the Group, and which could have an adverse impact on his ability to continue in his role.

The Company is dependent on its workforce, and the workforce of its third-party contractors, to extract and process minerals containing gold, and are therefore sensitive to any labour disruption at its properties.

Risks associated with use of third-party contractors.

The Company may require further licences and encounter title claims to develop and realise certain gold reserves or to process the ore of third parties and may encounter title claims to any of its properties which may result in future losses or additional expenditures.

The Company may be adversely affected by the availability and costs of key inputs.

Legal and regulatory risks

The Company is subject to a number of laws and regulations and may not be able to enforce our legal rights.

The Company’s activities are extensively regulated in respect of environmental, health and safety standards which are likely to become more stringent over time and may be subject to unforeseen changes.

The Company’s business is subject to evolving climate change initiatives and legislation that may increase both compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance.

The Company’s insurance coverage does not cover all of our potential losses, liabilities and damage related to our business, and certain risks are uninsured or uninsurable

Risks related to operations in West Africa

The Company is subject to geopolitical and other risks associated with operating in West Africa.

The location of the Company’s assets subjects the Company to safety and security risks.

The Company’s continued operations depend on adequate infrastructure, which is underdeveloped in certain parts of West Africa, and the uninterrupted flow of power, materials, supplies and services.

The Company’s mining properties are subject to various government equity interests and royalty payments payable to the respective governments of the countries in which we operate.

There are health risks associated with the mining work force in Africa.

Risks related to shares

Shares in the Company may be subject to market price volatility and the market price of the Shares in the Company may decline disproportionately in response to developments that are unrelated to the Company’s operating performance.

The current value of Old Endeavour Shares cannot be taken as indicative of the likely development of the market and future demand for the Shares.

Future sales of Shares by major shareholders could depress the price of the Shares.

The issuance of additional Shares in the Company in connection with future acquisitions, any share incentive or share option plan or otherwise may dilute all other shareholdings.

The Company is a holding Company with no business operations of its own and depends on its subsidiaries for cash, including in order to pay dividends.

Shareholders may become subject to foreign exchange rate risk as a result of an investment in the Shares.

Shareholders in the United States and other jurisdictions outside of the United Kingdom may not be able to participate in future equity offerings.

The rights afforded to Shareholders are governed by English law. Not all rights available to shareholders under US law will be available to holders of the Shares.

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of risks that may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, including equity price risk. The Company examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses any impact and likelihood of those risks.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the Company by failing to discharge its obligations. Credit risk arises from cash, restricted cash, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, long-term receivable and other assets.

The Company manages the credit risk associated with cash by investing these funds with highly rated financial institutions, and by monitoring its concentration of cash held in any one institution. As such, the Company deems the credit risk on its cash to be low.

The Company closely monitors its financial assets and does not have any significant concentration of credit risk other than receivable balances owed from the governments in the countries the Company operates in and its other receivables of $14.6 million due from third parties. The Company monitors the amounts outstanding from its third parties regularly and does not believe that there is a significant level of credit risk associated with these receivables given the current nature of the amounts outstanding and the on-going customer/supplier relationships with those companies.

The Corporation sells its gold to large international organizations with strong credit ratings, and the historical level of customer defaults is minimal. As a result, the credit risk associated with gold trade receivables at 30 June 2021 is considered to be negligible. The Company does not rely on ratings issued by credit rating agencies in evaluating counterparties’ related credit risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash, physical gold or another financial asset. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements. The Company ensures that it has sufficient cash and cash equivalents and loan facilities available to meet its short term obligations.

Currency risk

Currency risk relates to the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations. There has been no change in the Company’s objectives and policies for managing this risk during the period ended 30 June 2021.

The Company has not hedged its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows from, or the fair values of, the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily on its long-term debt. Since marketable securities and government treasury securities held as loans are short term in nature and are usually held to maturity, there is minimal fair value sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The Company continually monitors its exposure to interest rates and is comfortable with its exposure given the relatively low short-term US interest rates and LIBOR.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported on a timely basis to senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Additionally, these controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s annual and interim filings (as such terms are defined under National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings) and other reports filed or submitted under Canadian securities law is recorded, processed, summarised and reported within the time periods specified by those laws, and that material information is accumulated and communicated to management including the CEO and CFO as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as required by Canadian Securities Law. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that as of 31 December 2020, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Under the supervision of the CFO, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting since the year ended 30 June 2021 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company assessed the SEMAFO and Teranga mines’ disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; however, in accordance with National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings, because the SEMAFO operations were acquired not more than 365 days before the end of 31 December 2020, the Company has limited the scope of its design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting to exclude the controls, policies and procedures of SEMAFO.

LIMITATIONS OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the actions of one individual, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorised override of the control. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO ENDEAVOUR MINING PLC

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 which comprises the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings/ loss, the condensed interim consolidated statement of cash flows, the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position, the condensed interim consolidated statement of changes in equity and related notes.

We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

Directors’ responsibilities

The interim financial report is the responsibility of and has been approved by the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group will be prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’.

As explained in note 2 to the condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial report, the group, in addition to preparing condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, has also applied International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the IASB.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’, issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the United Kingdom and International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the IAASB. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.

In addition, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Use of our report

Our report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting its responsibilities in respect of interim financial reporting in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. No person is entitled to rely on this report unless such a person is a person entitled to rely upon this report by virtue of and for the purpose of our terms of engagement or has been expressly authorised to do so by our prior written consent. Save as above, we do not accept responsibility for this report to any other person or for any other purpose and we hereby expressly disclaim any and all such liability.

1    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Endeavour Mining plc, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Endeavour”, the "Group", or the “Company”), is a publicly listed gold mining Company that operates seven mines in West Africa in addition to having project development and exploration assets. Endeavour is focused on effectively managing its existing assets to maximise cash flows as well as pursuing organic and strategic growth opportunities that benefit from its management and operational expertise.

Endeavour’s corporate office is in London, England, and its shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") (symbol EDV), and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) (symbol EDV) and quoted in the United States on the OTCQX International (symbol EDVMF). The Company is incorporated in the United Kingdom and its registered office is located at 5 Young Street, London, United Kingdom, W8 5EH.

Prior to its listing on the London Stock Exchange on 14 June 2021, Endeavour Mining Corporation ("EMC") was the parent Company of the Group for which consolidated financial statements were produced. On 11 June 2021, the shareholders of EMC transferred all of their shares in EMC to Endeavour Mining plc in exchange for ordinary shares of equal value in Endeavour Mining plc (the "Reorganisation"). This resulted in Endeavour Mining plc, which was incorporated on 21 March 2021, becoming the new parent Company for the Group. As a result of the Reorganisation, there was no change in the legal ownership of any of the assets of EMC or Endeavour Mining plc, nor any change in the ownership of existing shares or securities of EMC or Endeavour Mining plc. The financial information as at 30 June 2021 and for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 (and comparative information) is presented as a continuation of EMC.

The Company has been taking steps to monitor and address the risks in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on the Company's operations (Note 2.3).

2    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1.    STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The annual financial statements of the group will be prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In addition to preparing condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, the Company has also applied International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the IASB. These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and UK adopted international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements prepared using IFRS, and are also in accordance with the requirements of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules ("DTR") in the United Kingdom as applicable to interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated financial statements represent a ‘condensed set of financial statements’ as referred to in the DTR.

These condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board on 3 August 2021. The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020, which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s operations, financial performance, and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were presented as Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

None of the new standards or amendments to standards and interpretations applicable during the period has had a material impact on the financial position or performance of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that was issued but is not yet effective.

During the period ended 30 June 2021, the Company has applied the following accounting policies which were not applied in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020:

Merger accounting

Group reorganisations, including transfer of assets and liabilities and acquisition of companies within the Endeavour Mining plc group are accounted for using merger accounting. As a result, any assets and liabilities are transferred at carrying value rather than fair value. The difference between the carrying value of assets and liabilities transferred and the consideration paid has been recognised in the merger reserve.

Employee Benefit Trust

The Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") is considered to be a Special Purpose Entity and is accounted for under IFRS 10 and consolidated on the basis that the Company has control, thus the assets and liabilities of the EBT are included in the financial position and results of operations of the Group and the shares held by the EBT are presented as a deduction from equity.

Treasury shares

When the Company purchases its own share capital ("treasury shares"), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, net of income taxes, is deducted from retained earnings/(deficit). If treasury shares are subsequently cancelled, the par value of the cancelled shares is credited to the capital redemption reserve. If treasury shares are subsequently re-issued, any consideration received, net of transaction costs, is included in share capital.

2.2.    BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the acquisition of SEMAFO Inc. ("SEMAFO") and Teranga Gold Corporation ("Teranga") (Note 4) and certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company’s accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. In preparing the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021, the Company applied the critical judgments and estimates disclosed in note 3 of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company, which is defined as having the power over the entity, rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and the ability to use its power to affect the amount of returns. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. The Company's material subsidiaries at 30 June 2021 are consistent with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the sale of Agbaou Gold Operations on 1 March 2021, and for the following subsidiaries which were acquired on 10 February 2021 with the completion of the acquisition of Teranga (Note 4):

Entities	Principal activity	Place of incorporation and operation	Proportion of ownership interest and voting power held
			30 June 2021
Sabodala Gold Operations SA	Gold Operations	Senegal	90%
Wahgnion Gold Operations SA	Gold Operations	Burkina Faso	90%
Teranga Gold Corporation	Holding	Canada	100%
Teranga Gold (Senegal) Corporation	Holding	Canada	100%
Sabodala Mining Company Sarl	Exploration	Senegal	100%

2.3.    GOING CONCERN

The directors have performed an assessment of whether the Company would be able to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve month period. In their assessment, the Company has taken into account its financial position, expected future trading performance, its debt and other available credit facilities, future debt servicing requirements, its working capital and capital expenditure commitments and forecasts.

At 30 June 2021, the Company’s net debt was $77.1 million with long-term debt of $910.0 million and cash of $832.9 million. The Company had current assets of $1,350.5 million and current liabilities of $641 million representing a total working capital balance (current assets less current liabilities) of $709.9 million as at 30 June 2021. Cash flow from operations for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 was $300.5 million and $498.4 million respectively.

Based on a detailed cash flow forecast prepared by management, in which it included any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the cash flow forecast is based, and taking into account possible changes in performance due to the COVID-19 pandemic impact, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for twelve months from 3 August 2021 and that at this point in time there are no material uncertainties regarding going concern. Key assumptions underpinning this forecast include a gold price of $1,500/oz and production volumes in line with annual guidance.

The Board is satisfied that the going concern basis of accounting is an appropriate assumption to adopt in the preparation of the half year report for the period ended 30 June 2021.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC RISKS

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a new novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. In response to health risks associated with the spread of COVID-19, the Company implemented a number of health and safety measures designed to protect employees at its operations around the world.

As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company’s operations have not been significantly impacted, however, the Company continues to monitor the situation. While the Company's financial position, performance and cash flows could be further negatively impacted, the extent of the impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Management continues to monitor and assess the short and medium-term impacts of the COVID-19 virus, including for example supply chain, mobility, workforce, market and trade flow impacts, as well as the resilience of Canadian, West African, and other global financial markets to support recovery. Any longer term impacts are also being considered and monitored, as appropriate. However, this pandemic continues to evolve rapidly and its effects on our own operations are uncertain. It is possible that in the future operations may be temporarily shut down or suspended for indeterminate amounts of time, any of which may, individually or in the aggregate, have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial performance. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company’s business and operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of and the actions required to contain COVID-19 or remedy its impact.

The global response to the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, among other things, border closures, severe travel restrictions, as well as quarantine, self-isolation and other emergency measures imposed by various governments. Additional government or regulatory actions or inaction around the world in jurisdictions where the Company operates may also have potentially significant economic and social impacts. The COVID-19 virus and efforts to contain it may have a significant effect on commodity prices, and the possibility of a prolonged global economic downturn may further impact commodity demand and prices. If the business operations of the Company are disrupted or suspended as a result of these or other measures, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial performance.

The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 may affect Endeavour's ability to operate at one or more of its mines for an indeterminate period of time, may affect the health of its employees or contractors resulting in diminished expertise or capacity, may mean that key expat or contract resources cannot access West Africa, may result in delays or disruption in its supply chain leading to unavailability of critical spares and inventory (or increased costs), may lead to restrictions on transferability of currency, may cause business continuity issues at global gold refineries (and therefore its ability to generate revenue), may mean it cannot transport gold from its sites to refineries, may result in failures of various local administration, logistics and critical infrastructure, may cause social instability in West African countries which in turn could disrupt business continuity, and may result in additional and currently unknown liabilities.

4    ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

In the three and six months ended 30 June 2021, the Company incurred $14.5 million and $26.7 million (for the three and six months ended 30 June 2020 $2.6 million and $6.9 million respectively) of acquisition related costs relating to advisory, legal, valuation and other professional fees, primarily with respect to the acquisition of Teranga, the disposal of the Agbaou cash generating unit ('CGU') and the acquisition of SEMAFO. These costs are expensed as acquisition and restructuring costs within the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings/(loss) .

a.    Acquisition of Teranga

On 10 February 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Teranga. Teranga was a Canadian-based gold mining company listed on the TSX and in the United States on the OTCQX market with two operating mines in West Africa: the Sabodala-Massawa Gold Complex ("Sabodala-Massawa") in Senegal and the Wahgnion Gold Mine ("Wahgnion") in Burkina Faso. In addition, Teranga had a number of early to advanced stage exploration properties in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal. The acquisition of Teranga supports the Company's growth strategy and enhances the Company's production profile.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Teranga at an exchange rate of 0.47 of an Endeavour share for each Teranga share held which resulted in a total of 78,766,690 shares issued upon closing of the acquisition. Given the issuance of Endeavour common shares as a result of the transaction and the relative voting rights of the Endeavour and Teranga shareholders subsequent to the transaction being completed, Endeavour has been identified as the acquirer and has accounted for the transaction as a business combination.

Following the acquisition of Teranga, La Mancha Holding S.àr.l. ("La Mancha") exercised its anti-dilution right to maintain its interest in the Company and completed a $200.0 million private placement for 8,910,592 shares of Endeavour (Note 5).

As of the date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on preliminary estimates at the date of acquisition and has not been finalised. The Company retained an independent appraiser to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, using income, market and cost valuation methods. The excess of total consideration over the estimated fair value of the amounts initially assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill balance is attributable to the recognition of a deferred tax liability from the difference between the assigned fair values and the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at amounts that do not reflect fair value. The non-controlling interest is measured at its proportionate share of the fair value of net assets.

The Company is still in the process of finalising the fair values of the mining interests acquired, which are estimated using discounted cash flow models, where the expected future cash flows are based on estimates of future gold prices, estimated quantities of ore reserves and mineral resources, expected future production costs and capital expenditures based on the life of mine plans at the acquisition date. In addition to the fair value of the mining interests, the evaluation of the inventories on hand at the acquisition date, the evaluation of the liabilities and tax contingencies assumed, and the resulting determination of the deferred taxes, are all subject to change at 30 June 2021 if information arises which would impact management's assessment of the fair value at the acquisition date. The actual fair values of the assets and liabilities may differ materially from the amounts disclosed in the preliminary fair value below, and the amount recognised as goodwill may change. Any adjustments to the allocation of the purchase consideration will be recognized retrospectively and comparative information will be revised. Adjustments to the purchase price allocation can be made throughout the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.
The consideration and preliminary allocation to the value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows and are unchanged since the quarter ended 31 March 2021:

	Notes	Fair value at acquisition
Purchase price:
Fair value of 78.8 million Endeavour common shares issued		1,678,285
Fair value of Endeavour options issued		30,361

		$	1,750,200

The significant assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the mining interests were as follows:

Assumption	Sabodala-Massawa		Wahgnion
Gold price - 2021 to 2024	$1,900 to $1,750 per ounce		$1,900 to $1,750 per ounce
Long-term gold price	$1,600 per ounce		$1,600 per ounce
Discount rate	6.3	%	7.0	%
Mine life	14 years		10 years
Average grade over life of mine	1.97 g/t		1.57 g/t
Average recovery rate	89	%	92	%

On 31 March 2021, the Company settled the full amount outstanding under the gold off-take liability which resulted in a cash outflow of $49.7 million.

Consolidated revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2021 includes revenue from the date of acquisition from the assets acquired in the acquisition of Teranga of $403.3 million. The consolidated earnings for the six months ended 30 June 2021 includes net earnings before tax from the date of acquisition from the assets acquired in the acquisition of Teranga of $135.1 million. Had the transaction occurred on 1 January 2021, the pro forma unaudited consolidated revenue and net earnings before taxes for the six months ended 30 June 2021 would have been approximately $1,452.0 million and $290.4 million, respectively.

b.    Acquisition of SEMAFO

On 1 July 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of SEMAFO. SEMAFO was a gold mining company listed on the TSX with two operating mines in West Africa: the Mana and Boungou mines in Burkina Faso as well as certain exploration stage assets. The acquisition of SEMAFO supported the Company's growth strategy and enhanced the Company's production profile.

Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of SEMAFO at an exchange rate of 0.1422 Endeavour share for each outstanding SEMAFO share, which resulted in the issuance of 47,561,205 common shares of Endeavour. Given the issuance of Endeavour common shares as a result of the transaction, the relative voting rights of the Endeavour and SEMAFO shareholders subsequent to the transaction being completed, Endeavour has been identified as the acquirer and has accounted for the transaction as a business combination.

Following the acquisition of SEMAFO, La Mancha exercised its anti-dilution right to maintain its interest in the Company and completed a $100.0 million private placement for 4,507,720 shares of Endeavour (Note 5).

The Company retained an independent appraiser to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, using income, market and cost valuation methods. The excess of total consideration over the estimated fair value of the amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill balance is attributable to the recognition of a deferred tax liability from the difference between the assigned fair values and the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at amounts that do not reflect fair value. The non-controlling interest is measured at its proportionate share of the fair value of net assets.

The fair values of the mining interests acquired were estimated using discounted cash flow models, where the expected future cash flows are based on estimates of future gold prices, estimated quantities of ore reserves and mineral resources, expected future production costs and capital expenditures based on the life of mine plans at the acquisition date. Adjustments to the allocation of the purchase consideration has been recognized retrospectively and comparative information has been revised.

The consideration and allocation to the value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows:

	Preliminary purchase price allocation at 31 December 2020			Adjustments			Final purchase price allocation
Purchase price:
Fair value of 47.6 million Endeavour common shares issued	1,151,328			—			1,151,328
	$	1,151,328		$	—		$	1,151,328
Net assets/(liabilities) acquired
Cash	92,981			—			92,981
Net working capital acquired (excluding cash)	107,987			563			108,550
Mining interests	1,319,587			13,000			1,332,587
Goodwill	98,704			(27,176)			71,528
Restricted cash	24,000			—			24,000
Other long-term assets	7,505			—			7,505
Current portion of long-term debt	(29,758)			—			(29,758)
Lease liabilities	(24,044)			—			(24,044)
Income taxes payable	(36,093)			16,254			(19,839)
Other long-term liabilities	(40,661)			9,220			(31,441)
Deferred tax	(262,678)			(9,612)			(272,290)
Non-controlling interest	(106,202)			(2,249)			(108,451)
Net Assets	$	1,151,328		$	—		$	1,151,328

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company finalised the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition, in particular as it relates to mining interests, and liabilities with respect to certain income tax positions. Management re-evaluated its life of mine plans for the Mana and Boungou mines, and the expected ounces to be produced over the life of mine, which resulted in a change in their fair values. As a result of the above adjustments, the deferred tax liabilities were also adjusted to reflect the tax impact of these changes. The significant assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the mining interests were as follows:

Assumption	Mana		Boungou
Gold price – 2020 to 2025	$1,550 to $1,883 per ounce		$1,550 - $1,865 per ounce
Long-term gold price	$1,485 per ounce		$1,485 per ounce
Discount rate	6.00	%	6.50	%
Mine life	9.5 years		14 years
Average grade over life of mine	3.25 g/t		3.58 g/t
Average recovery rate	88	%	94	%

As a result of the change in the fair values of the mining interests, depletion expense for the three months ended 31 March 2021 was increased retrospectively by $9.3 million. For the six months from 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2020, the depletion expense was increased retrospectively by $0.7 million to reflect the change in the value of the mining interests upon determination of the final purchase price allocation.

c.    Discontinued operations

On 1 March 2021, the Company completed the sale of its 85% interest in the Agbaou mine CGU to Allied Gold Corp Limited ("Allied"). The consideration upon sale of the Agbaou mine included (i) a cash payment of $16.4 million (net of working capital adjustments of $3.6 million upon closing), of which $10.5 million was received in the first quarter of 2021; (ii) $40.0 million in Allied shares of which Endeavour has the option to sell the shares back to Allied at the issue price which expires on 31 December 2022 or earlier if Allied conducts an IPO before then; (iii) contingent consideration of up to $20.0 million comprised of $5.0 million payments for each quarter where the average gold price exceeds $1,900 per ounce; and (iv) a net smelter royalty ("NSR") on ounces produced in excess of the Agbaou reserves estimated as at 31 December 2019. The NSR royalty is based on a sliding scale, linked to the average spot gold price as follows: 2.5% if the gold price is at least $1,400 per ounce, 2% if the gold price is at least $1,200 per ounce and less than $1,400 per ounce, 1% if the gold price is at least $1,000 per ounce and less than $1,200 per ounce, and 0% if the gold price is below $1,000 per ounce.

The fair value of the various aspects of the consideration at the closing date were as follows (all of which, except for the cash, are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements):

• The cash was determined to have a fair value of $16.4 million, which is the agreed upon $20.0 million, net of working capital adjustments on closing;
• The fair value of the Allied shares was determined to be $40.0 million based on the value of the option to sell back the shares, as well as the most recent share issuances of Allied shares with other arm's length parties;
• The fair value of the contingent consideration based on the gold price was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model using the following key inputs: spot price of gold of $1,723 per ounce, annualised gold price volatility of 18.36%, for each of the quarters in 2021, which resulted in a fair value of $0.5 million; and
• The fair value of the NSR was estimated using probability-weighted scenarios with respect to discounted cash flow models for future production that might exceed the Agbaou reserves at 31 December 2019. Based on the various scenarios considered, the fair value of the NSR was $5.5 million.

The results of operations have been restated for the comparative periods to reclassify the earnings/(loss) relating to Agbaou as earnings/(loss) from discontinued operations. During the six months ended 30 June 2021, the financing cash flows from discontinued operations include the payment of dividends to minority shareholders of $45.2 million which had been declared in December 2020. As at 31 December 2020 the net assets of the Agbaou CGU were classified as held for sale.

At 30 June 2021, the fair value of the Allied shares had not changed, the NSR was revalued to $5.9 million and the fair value of the contingent consideration was $nil, resulting in a loss of $0.2 million and $0.5 million respectively being recognised in other expense in the three months ended 30 June 2021, and a gain of $0.2 million and a loss of $3.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 respectively.

The Corporation recognised a loss on disposal of $13.5 million, net of tax, calculated as follows:

	1 March 2021
Cash proceeds	16,350
Shares in Allied Gold	40,000
Contingent consideration	517
Net smelter royalty	5,548
Transaction costs	(471)

5    SHARE CAPITAL

I.     Share capital

Outstanding

• 250,553,482 voting shares of $0.01 par value as at 30 June 2021.
  
  

On 11 June 2021, the Company completed its reorganisation, whereby it issued 250.5 million common shares with a par value of $0.01 per share in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of EMC. As part of the reorganisation, the various management incentive plans (including PSUs, DSUs, and options), as well as the outstanding share warrants and call-rights were also transferred to Endeavour Mining plc. As part of the group reorganisation, a merger reserve was created equal to a value of $4.9 billion which represents the difference between the nominal value of shares in the new parent Company, Endeavour Mining plc, and the aggregate of the share capital, share premium account and equity reserve of the prior parent Company, EMC.

On 22 March 2021, the Company commenced a share buyback programme under which the Company is able to acquire up to 12.2 million of its outstanding ordinary shares, which represents up to 5% of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares as of 16 March 2021. During the three and six months ended 30 June 2021, the Company had repurchased a total of 2,666,537 shares at an average price of C$28.26, for total amount of $62.1 million (C$75.8 million). 420,034 shares were repurchased but not yet cancelled as at 30 June 2021. The shares were subsequently cancelled in July 2021.

During the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Company acquired 576,308 outstanding common shares from certain employees of the Group through and employee benefit trust (note 13). An amount of $14.2 million has been included in the statement of changes in equity as a reduction in equity attributable to the shareholders together with other purchases and cancellations of the Company's own shares.

On 30 March 2021, La Mancha exercised its anti-dilution right to maintain its interest in the Company and completed a $200.0 million private placement for 8,910,592 shares of Endeavour (Note 4). Upon completion of the investment, La Mancha's future anti-dilution rights were extinguished. La Mancha's ownership of Endeavour was 19.0% at 31 March 2021 (31 December 2020 – 24.1%).

On 10 February 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Teranga. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Teranga at an exchange rate of 0.47 Endeavour shares for each outstanding Teranga share, which resulted in the issuance of 78,766,690 common shares of Endeavour at a total fair value of $1,678.3 million.

On 12 November 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of $0.37 per share totalling $60.0 million (2019 - nil). The dividend was paid on 5 February 2021 to shareholders on record on the close of business on 22 January 2021.

On 1 July 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of SEMAFO. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of SEMAFO at an exchange rate of 0.1422 Endeavour share for each outstanding SEMAFO share, which resulted in the issuance of 47,561,205 common shares of Endeavour at a total fair value of $1,151.3 million.

On 3 July 2020, La Mancha exercised its anti-dilution right to maintain its interest in the Company and completed a $100.0 million private placement for 4,507,720 shares of Endeavour (note 4).

On 30 June 2020, the Company held 448,181 shares in SEMAFO which were converted into 63,731 common shares of Endeavour on 1 July 2020. On 22 September 2020, the Company cancelled these treasury shares which resulted in a reduction of $1.2 million in share capital.

ii.    Share-based compensation

The following table summarises the share-based compensation expense:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED						SIX MONTHS ENDED
	30 June 2021			30 June 2020			30 June 2021			30 June 2020
Amortisation and change in fair value of DSUs	512			1,687			351			1,160
Amortisation and change in fair value of PSUs	9,327			3,255			17,443			5,405
Total share-based compensation	$	9,839		$	4,942		$	17,794		$	6,565

iii.    Options

	Options outstanding		Weighted average exercise price (C$)
Added upon acquisition of Teranga	3,517,187		16.27
Exercised	(868,413)		8.32
Expired	(589,380)		31.92
At 30 June 2021	2,059,394		14.93

Upon acquisition of Teranga, all outstanding Teranga stock options, whether previously vested or unvested, became fully vested and exchanged for replacement options to purchase common shares of Endeavour at a ratio of 0.47 Endeavour share options for each Teranga share option at an adjusted exercise price, with an expiry date of the earlier of (i) the original expiry date of each Teranga stock option, and (ii) the second year anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition transaction. The fair values at the acquisition date were calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model using a volatility of 42.64% - 60.05%, a dividend yield of 2.6% and a risk free rate of 0.1%. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time to the date of their expiry.

As at 30 June 2021, the weighted average remaining contractual term of outstanding stock options exercisable was 1.49 years. The share options are exercisable at prices ranging from C$6.60 to C$31.92.

iv.    Share unit plans

A summary of the changes in share unit plans is presented below:

	DSUs outstanding		Weighted average grant price (C$)		PSUs outstanding		Weighted average grant price (C$)
At 31 December 2019	178,684		13.67		3,298,377		19.05
Granted	20,455		28.62		2,072,183		21.55
Exercised	(73,978)		16.88		(1,089,232)		19.08
Forfeited	—		—		(1,152,986)		19.50
Added by performance factor	—		—		85,463		18.57
At 31 December 2020	125,161		14.22		3,213,805		20.48
Granted	23,835		26.14		2,169,274		28.28
Exercised	(1,858)		31.33		(1,226,846)		22.48
Forfeited	(689)		25.33		(51,661)		22.85
Adjustment for dividend	2,210		18.39		76,698		23.12
Added by performance factor	—		—		292,922		22.54
At 30 June 2021	148,659		15.93		4,474,192		23.87

v.    Deferred share units

The Company established a deferred share unit plan (“DSU”) for the purposes of strengthening the alignment of interests between non-executive directors of the Company and shareholders by linking a portion of the annual director compensation to the future value of the Company’s common shares. Upon establishing the DSU plan for non-executive directors, the Company no longer grants options to non-executive directors.

The DSU plan allows each non-executive director to choose to receive, in the form of DSUs, all or a percentage of their director’s fees, which would otherwise be payable in cash. Compensation for serving on committees must be paid in the form of DSUs. The plan also provides for discretionary grants of additional DSUs by the Board. Each DSU vests upon award but is distributed only when the director has ceased to be a member of the Board. Vested units are settled in cash based on the common share price at the date of settlement.

The fair value of the DSUs is determined based on multiplying the 5 day volume weighted average share price of the Company by the number of DSUs at the end of the reporting period.

The total fair value of DSUs at 30 June 2021 was $3.2 million (31 December 2020 – $2.9 million). The total DSU share-based compensation recognised in the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings/(loss) was an expense of $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 respectively (for the three and six months ended 30 June 2020 – expense of $1.69 million and $1.16 million respectively).

vi.    Performance share units

The Company's long-term incentive plan (“LTI Plan”) includes a portion of performance-linked share unit awards (“PSUs”), intended to increase the pay mix in favor of long-term equity-based compensation with three-year cliff-vesting to serve as an employee retention mechanism.

The fair value of the PSUs is determined based on Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) relative to peer companies for 50% of the value of the PSU's, while the remaining 50% of the value of the PSU's granted is based on achieving certain operational performance measures. The vesting conditions related to the achievement of operational performance measures noted above are determined at the grant date and the number of units that are expected to vest is reassessed at each subsequent reporting period based on the estimated probability of reaching the operational targets.

• Key future operational targets in 2023 for 2021 PSU grants are gold production targets (25%), capital project targets (12.5%), and carbon reduction and renewable energy targets (12.5%);
• Key future operational targets in 2022 for 2020 PSU grants are net debt / earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") (25%), gold production targets (12.5%), and Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") targets (12.5%);
• Key future operational targets in 2021 for 2019 PSU grants were resource discovery (25%), gold production relative to guidance (12.5%), and net debt / EBITDA (12.5%).

The fair value related to the TSR portion is determined using a multi-asset Monte Carlo simulation model using a dividend yield of 2.5% (2019 – 0%), as well as historical TSR levels and historical volatility of the constituents of the S&P TSX Global Gold Index (2019 – same).

During the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Company determined certain PSU's whereby they will be settled in cash upon exercise. The fair value of these PSU's have been reclassified from equity to liabilities as these PSU's will be settled in cash upon exercise. The fair value of the PSUs on date of reclassification was determined to be $14.4 million and was transferred from equity reserve to liabilities. Subsequent measurement of the liability to fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

vii.   Basic and diluted earnings per share

Diluted net earnings per share was calculated based on the following:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED				SIX MONTHS ENDED
	30 June 2021		30 June 2020		30 June 2021		30 June 2020
Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding	251,779,650		110,993,240		230,008,280		110,788,798
Effect of dilutive securities1
Stock options and warrants	1,647,851		—		1,620,915		14,950
Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding	253,427,501		110,993,240		231,629,195		110,803,748
Total common shares outstanding	250,553,482		110,993,240		250,553,482		110,993,240
Total potential diluted common shares	258,249,760		115,092,032		258,249,760		115,092,032

At 30 June 2021, a total of 3,897,884 PSU's (5,568,080 at 30 June 2020) could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in future, but were not included in diluted earnings per share as all vesting conditions have not been satisfied at the end of the reporting period. 312,550 stock options were anti-dilutive as at 30 June 2021 and were excluded from the determination of the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding 30 June 2020 – nil). The potentially dilutive impact of the convertible senior notes are anti-dilutive for the period and were not included in the diluted earnings per share.

6 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISKS

i.    Financial assets and liabilities

The Company’s financial instruments are classified as follows:

	Financial assets/liabilities at amortised cost	Financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income	Financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss ('FVTPL')
Cash			X
Trade and other receivables	X
Restricted cash			X
Marketable securities			X
Other long-term receivable			X
Other financial assets			X
Trade and other payables	X
Share warrant liabilities			X
Call-rights			X
Contingent consideration			X
Corporate loan facilities	X
Convertible senior notes	X
Conversion option on convertible senior notes			X

The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted below, except for the convertible note, which has a fair value of approximately $378.0 million (31 December 2020 – $398.6 million).

As noted above, the Company has certain financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques to measure fair value:
Classification of financial assets and liabilities

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

As at each of 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, the levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recognised in the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position at fair value are categorised as follows:

		AS AT 30 JUNE 2021
	Note	Level 1 Input			Level 2 Input			Level 3 Input			Aggregate Fair Value
Assets:

Total		$	—		$	(74,646)		$	—		$	(74,646)

There were no transfers between level 1 and 2 during the period. The fair value of level 3 financial assets were determined using a Monte Carlo or discounted cash flow valuation models, taking into account assumptions with respect to gold prices and discount rates as well as estimates with respect to production and operating results at the disposed mine.

• The RCF can be repaid at any time without penalty.
  

Covenants on the RCF include:

• Interest cover ratio as measured by ratio of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") to finance cost for the trailing 12 months to the end of a quarter shall not be less than 3.0:1.0
• Leverage as measured by the ratio of net debt to trailing twelve months EBITDA at the end of each quarter must not exceed 3.5:1.0

ii.    Corporate Bridge Facility

On 24 December 2020, the Company entered into an agreement for a new facility agreement ("Bridge Facility") with a syndicate of international banks which came into effect on 10 February 2021.

iii.    Convertible Senior Notes

On 8 February 2018, the Company completed a private placement of convertible senior notes with a total principal amount of $330.0 million due in 2023 (the “Notes”). The initial conversion rate was 41.84 of the Company’s common shares (“Shares”) per $1,000 Note, or an initial conversion price of approximately $23.90 (CAD$29.47) per share.

On 21 January 2021, the conversion rate of the Notes was adjusted as a result of the $0.37 per share ordinary dividend announced on 11 January 2021. The new conversion rate is 42.55 of the Company's common shares per $1,000 note, and equates to a conversion price of approximately $23.50 (CAD$29.72) per share.

The Notes bear interest at a coupon rate of 3% payable semi-annually in arrears on 15 February and 15 August of each year. Notes mature on 15 February 2023, unless redeemed earlier, repurchased or converted in accordance with the terms of the Notes. The note holders can convert their Notes at any time prior to the maturity date. Also, the Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if the share price exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 of the trading days during the 30 days prior to the redemption notice. The Company may, subject to certain conditions, elect to satisfy the principal amount and conversion option due at maturity or upon conversion or redemption through the payment or delivery of any combination of Shares and cash.

The key terms of the Convertible Senior Notes include:

• Principal amount of $330.0 million.
• Coupon rate of 3% payable on a semi-annual basis.
• The term of the notes is 5 years, maturing in February 2023.
• The notes are reimbursable through the payment or delivery of shares and/or cash.
• The conversion price is $23.50 (CAD$29.72) per share.
• The reference share price of the notes is $18.04 (CAD$22.24) per share.

For accounting purposes, the Company measures the Notes at amortised cost, accreting to maturity over the term of the Notes. The conversion option is an embedded derivative and is accounted for as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The unrealised gain/loss on the convertible note option for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 was an unrealised gain of $1.6 million and $30.0 million respectively (three and six months ended 30 June 2020 – unrealised loss of $63.9 million and $61.2 million respectively).

The liability component for the Notes at 30 June 2021 has an effective interest rate of 6.2% (31 December 2020: 6.2%) and was as follows:

	30 June   2021			31 December 2020
Liability component at beginning of the period	311,925			302,600
Interest expense in the period	9,729			19,225
Less: Interest payments in the period	(4,950)			(9,900)
Total	$	316,704		$	311,925

iv.    Conversion option

The conversion option related to the Notes is recorded at fair value, using a convertible bond valuation model, taking account the observed market price of the Notes. The following assumptions were used in the determination of fair value of the conversion option and fixed income component of the Notes, which was then calibrated to the total fair value of the Notes: volatility of 43% (31 December 2020 – 56%), term of the conversion option 1.60 years (31 December 2020 – 2.13 years), a dividend yield of 2.5% (31 December 2020 – 2.5%), credit spread of 2.05% (31 December 2020 – 4%), and a share price of CAD$26.62 (31 December 2020 – CAD$29.62).

	30 June 2021			31 December 2020
Conversion option at beginning of the period	74,646			31,439
Fair value adjustment	(30,030)			43,207

i.    Share warrant liabilities

Upon acquisition of Teranga, all outstanding Teranga share warrants were exchanged for replacement Endeavour warrants at a ratio of 0.47 Endeavour warrants for each Teranga warrant at an adjusted exercise price.

The following share warrants were outstanding as at 30 June 2021:

Grant date	Number		Expiry date	Exercise price (C$)
16. April 2018	940,000		16 April 2022	11.11
26. February 2019	70,500		27 February 2023	10.81
30. May 2019	658,000		30 May 2023	8.15
30. September 2019	70,500		30 September 2023	13.81

The currency of the exercise price of the warrants is different from the Company's functional currency and as a result the share warrants have been classified as a derivative financial liability. Changes in fair value of share warrants are recognised in other expenses at the end of each reporting period. Upon exercise, the associated share warrant liability will be reclassified to share capital. Should any of the share warrants expire un-exercised, the associated share warrant liability will be recorded as gains/(losses) on financial instruments in the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings. There is no circumstance under which the Company would be required to pay any cash upon exercise or expiry of the warrants.

A reconciliation of the change in fair value of share warrant liabilities is presented below:

	Number of warrants		Amount
Added upon acquisition of Teranga	1,739,000		22,233
Change in fair value	—		1,531
Balance as at 30 June 2021	1,739,000		$	23,764

Fair values of share warrants were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

	As at 30 June 2021		As at 10 February 2021
Valuation date share price	C$ 26.62		C$ 27.06
Weighted average fair value of share warrants	C$16.94		C$16.24
Exercise price	C$8.15 - C$13.81		C$8.15 - C$13.81
Risk-free interest rate	0.35% - 0.45%		0.19% - 0.22%
Expected share market volatility	41.6% - 50.2%		46% - 55%
Expected life of share warrants (years)	0.79 - 2.25		1.2 - 2.6
Dividend yield	2.5	%	2.5	%
Number of share warrants exercisable	1,739,000		1,739,000

ii.    PSU's

Prior to the Company listing on the London stock exchange, the Company established an Employee Benefits Trust (the “EBT”) in connection with the Company’s employee share incentive plans, which may hold the Company's own shares in trust to settle future employee share incentive obligations. During the three months ended 30 June 2021, the EBT acquired 576,308 outstanding common shares from certain employees of the Group, which remain held in the EBT at 30 June 2021.

In exchange for the shares, a subsidiary of the Company is obligated to repay the employees cash for the fair value of the underlying shares of the Company now held in the EBT. The amount of this liability is $12.4 million at 30 June 2021 and is included in current financial liabilities. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the underlying shares will be recognised in earnings/ (loss) in the period.

In addition to the above, certain PSU's were reclassified to liabilities at 30 June 2021 as management has determined that the PSU's will be settled in cash upon vesting. As a result, these PSU's are recognised at fair value at 30 June 2021, and $9.8 million is included in current liabilities at 30 June 2021 as they are expected to be settled in the next twelve months. The remaining $3.2 million is classified as non-current other liabilities as the PSU's do not vest in the next twelve months.

iii. Call-rights

Upon acquisition of Teranga, the Company acquired all previously issued and outstanding Teranga call-rights and were exchanged for replacement Endeavour call-rights at a ratio of 0.47 Endeavour call-rights for each Teranga call-right at an adjusted exercise price of C$14.90.
The call-rights are required to be settled in cash at the difference between Endeavour's 5-day volume weighted average trading price on each exercise date and the exercise price of C$14.90. The call-rights expire on 4 March 2024. The call-rights were recorded as derivative financial liabilities as their value changes in line with Endeavour's share price. Changes in the fair value of call-rights are recognised as gains/(losses) on financial instruments.

A reconciliation of the change in fair value of the call-rights liability is as follows:

	Number of call-rights		Amount
Added upon acquisition of Teranga	1,880,000		19,321
Change in fair value	—		(338)
Balance as at 30 June 2021	1,880,000		$	18,983

The fair value of the call-rights were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

	As at 30 June 2021		As at 10 February 2021
Valuation date share price (i)	C$ 26.98		C$ 27.93
Fair value per call-right	C$ 12.52		C$ 13.05
Exercise price	C$ 14.89		C$ 14.89
Risk-free interest rate	0.58	%	0.24	%
Expected share market volatility	46	%	45	%
Expected life of call-rights (years)	2.68		3.06
Dividend yield	2.5	%	2.5	%
Number of call-rights exercisable	1,880,000		1,880,000
(i) Represents 5-day volume weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares on the TSX/LSE

iv.    Contingent consideration

As part of the acquisition of Teranga, Endeavour recognised contingent consideration related to Teranga's acquisition of Massawa (Jersey) Limited. The contingent consideration is linked to future gold prices and is payable to Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick") in cash three years following the completion of the Massawa Acquisition by Teranga on 4 March 2020 and is calculated as follows:

• If the average gold price for the three-year period immediately following closing of the Massawa Acquisition (the "three-year average gold price") is equal to or less than $1,450 per ounce, $ nil;
• If the three-year average gold price is greater than $1,450 per ounce and up to, but not more than, $1,500 per ounce, $25.0 million;
• If the three-year average gold price is greater than $1,500 per ounce and up to, but not more than, $1,600 per ounce, $35.0 million; or
• If the three-year average gold price is greater than $1,600 per ounce, $50.0 million.

The Company has classified the contingent consideration payable to Barrick as a derivative financial liability as the amount due is dependent on future gold prices over periods of time in future. As at 30 June 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on the gold forward curve, expected volatility of 17.55% (10 February 2021 - 19.83%), Endeavour's credit spread of 1.87% (10 February 2021 - 2.78%) and risk-free rate of 0.33% (10 February 2021 - 0.20%).

On the date of acquisition of Teranga, the fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $45.6 million. For the three and six months ended 30 June 2021, the decrease in the non-current liability to $44.2 million resulted in gains on financial instruments recognised in the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings/(loss) of $0.1 million and $1.3 million respectively.

15    INCOME TAXES

The Company operates in numerous countries, and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some subsidiaries of the Company are not subject to corporate taxation in the Cayman Islands. However, the taxable earnings of the corporate entities in Barbados, Burkina Faso, Canada, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Senegal, Monaco, France, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom are subject to tax under the tax law of the respective jurisdiction. Significant judgement is required in the interpretation or application of certain tax rules when determining the provision for income taxes due to the complexity of the legislation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company's business conducted within the country involved. Management evaluates each of the assessments and recognizes a provision based on its best estimate of the ultimate resolution of the assessment, through either negotiation or through a legal or arbitrative process. In the event that management's estimate of the future resolution of these matters change over time, the Company will recognize the effects of the changes in its condensed interim consolidated financial statements in the period that such changes occur.

Tax expense for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021 was $42.3 million and $120.1 million respectively (for the three and six months ended 30 June 2020 - $5.9 million and $25.8 million respectively). The following is a summary of the tax rates in the Company's taxable jurisdictions:

	30 June 2021	31 December 2020
Barbados	2.5%	2.5%
Burkina Faso	17.5%/27.5%	17.5%
Canada	27.0%	27.0%
Cayman Islands	0.0%	0.0%
Côte d’Ivoire	25.0%	25.0%

Monaco	28.0%	31.0%
Senegal1	25%/0%	n/a
United Kingdom	19.0%	19.0%

 ¹In Senegal the Massawa segment of the Sabodala-Massawa mine is subject to a tax holiday and therefore has an effective tax rate of 0%.

17    CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives of capital management are to safeguard the entity’s ability to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis, continue the development and exploration of its mining interests and support any expansionary plans.

In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of equity, finance obligations, and long-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities.

Capital, as defined above, is summarised in the following table:

	30 June 2021			31 December 2020
Equity	4,441,705			2,248,418
Long-term debt	929,760			688,266
Finance and lease obligations	50,724			37,205
	5,422,189			2,973,889
Less:
Cash and cash equivalents	(832,877)			(644,970)
Cash - restricted	(29,746)			(24,398)
Marketable securities	(2,705)			(778)
Total	$	4,556,861		$	2,303,743

The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it considering changes in its economic environment and the risk characteristics of the Company’s assets. To effectively manage the entity’s capital requirements, the Company has in place a planning, budgeting and forecasting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of complying with covenants under the RCF and Bridge Facility. As at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

18    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has commitments in place at all seven of its mines and other key projects for drill and blasting services, load and haul services, supply of explosives and supply of hydrocarbon services. At 30 June 2021, the Company has approximately $77.0 million in commitments relating to on-going capital projects at its various mines.

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various claims, legal proceedings, tax assessments and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business from third parties. The Company cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of these actions. The Company does not believe that adverse decisions in any other pending or threatened proceedings related to any matter, or any amount which may be required to be paid by reason thereof, will have a material effect on the financial condition or future results of operations. The Company has recognised tax provisions with respect to current assessments received from the tax authorities in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and from uncertain tax positions identified upon the acquisition of SEMAFO and Teranga as well as through review of the Company's historical tax positions. For those amounts recognised related to current tax assessments received, the provision is based on management's best estimate of the outcome of those assessments, based on the validity of the issues in the assessment, management's support for their position, and the expectation with respect to any negotiations to settle the assessment. Management re-evaluates the outstanding tax assessments regularly to update their estimates related to the outcome for those assessments taking into account the criteria above. Management evaluates its uncertain tax positions regularly to update for changes to the tax legislation, the results of any tax audits undertaken, the correction of the uncertain tax position through subsequent tax filings, or the expiry of the period for which the position can be re-assessed. Management considers the material elements of any other claims to be without merit or foundation and will strongly defend its position in relation to these matters and following the appropriate process to support its position. Accordingly, no provision or further disclosure has been made as the likelihood of a material outflow of economic benefits in respect of such claims is considered remote. In forming this assessment, management has considered the professional advice received, the mining conventions and tax laws in place in the various jurisdictions, and the facts and circumstances of each individual claim.

The Company has received a notice of claim from a former service provider. The Company is taking legal advice on the merits of the claim and the probable outcome but intends to vigorously defend against the claims. The Company does not believe that the outcome of the claim will have a material impact to the Company’s financial position.

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

The Company assumed a gold stream when it acquired the Karma Mine on 26 April 2016 ("Karma stream"), and when it acquired the Sabodala-Massawa mine on 10 February 2021 ("Sabodala stream").

• Under the Karma stream, the Company is obligated to deliver 100,000 ounces of gold (20,000 ounces per year) to Franco-Nevada Company and Sandstorm Gold Inc. (the “Syndicate”) over a five-year period, which commenced on 31 March 2016, in exchange for 20% of the spot price of gold for each ounce of gold delivered (the “ongoing payment”). The amount that was previously advanced for this agreement of $100.0 million is reduced on each delivery by the excess of the spot price of the gold delivered over the ongoing payment. Following the five-year period, the Company is committed to deliver refined gold equal to 6.5% of the gold production at the Karma Mine for the life of the mine in exchange for ongoing payments. The Company delivered an additional 7,500 ounces between July 2017 and April 2019 in exchange for an additional deposit of $5.0 million received in 2017. Gold ounces sold to the Syndicate under the stream agreement are recognised as revenue only on the actual proceeds received, which per the agreement is 20% of the spot gold price. As at 30 June 2021, the Company had completed the delivery of 100,000 ounces of gold and had started delivering 6.5% of gold production at the Karma Mine to the syndicate.
  
  
• Under the Sabodala stream, the Company is required to deliver 783 ounces of gold per month beginning 1 September 2020 until 105,750 ounces have been delivered to Franco-Nevada (the "Fixed Delivery Period") based on the Sabodala standalone life of mine plan prior to the Massawa Acquisition by Teranga on 4 March 2020. At the end of the Fixed Delivery Period, any difference between total gold ounces delivered during the Fixed Delivery Period and 6 percent of production from the Company’s existing properties in Senegal (excluding Massawa) could result in a credit from or additional gold deliveries to Franco-Nevada. Subsequent to the Fixed Delivery Period, the Company is required to deliver 6 percent of production from the Company’s existing properties in Senegal (excluding Massawa). For ounces of gold delivered to Franco-Nevada under the Stream Agreement, Franco-Nevada pays the Company cash at the date of delivery for the equivalent of the prevailing spot price of gold for on 20 percent of the ounces delivered. Revenue is recognised on actual proceeds received. The Company delivered 3,134 ounces during the period ended 30 June 2021 after its acquisition of Teranga and as at 30 June 2021, 97,572 ounces is still to be delivered under the Fixed Delivery Period.
