Summary:
The Endeavor Mine was once the region’s largest zinc, lead and silver producer. Commissioned in 1983 as the Elura Mine, the site has been operated by CBH since 2003 at which time the site was renamed Endeavor. The Endeavor orebody is similar to others in the Cobar Basin in that it has the form of massive vertical pillars. Extraction of some 30 Mt has occurred. In October 2020, Sandfire Resources announced a farm-in agreement to acquire up to 100% of the Endeavor Mine. Sandfire is currently compiling historic data and following up on multiple targets for exploration.
