Toronto Stock Exchange: EDV

GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman, Sept. 30 /CNW/ - Endeavour Mining Corporation ("Endeavour") is pleased to announce the role of its subsidiary, Endeavour Financial International Corporation ("EFIC"), as Financial Advisor for US$823 million of senior and subordinated project finance facilities (the "Debt Facilities") and a US$35 million equity convertible cost overrun support facility (the "Equity Convertible") for the construction and development of the Boleo copper/cobalt project in Baja California Sur, Mexico.  EFIC is advising Baja Mining Corp.'s ("Baja") 70% owned project company, Minera y Metalurgica del Boleo S.A. de C.V. ("MMB").  MMB is 30% owned by a consortium of major Korean corporations.

David Street, Managing Director of Debt Finance stated, "Endeavour wishes to congratulate Baja and its management team, and we are very proud of our contribution to their success with this financing.  Financing conditions remain challenging for large greenfield projects, but Boleo is a very strong project and we have managed to attract a very high quality banking consortium for this financing."

The US$823 million of Debt Facilities, representing the entire amount of debt financing required to develop the Boleo Project, will be provided to MMB by The Export-Import Bank of the United States, Export Development Canada, The Korea Development Bank, and by a group of commercial banks comprised of Barclays Capital (the investment banking division of Barclays Bank PLC), Standard Bank Plc, Standard Chartered Bank, UniCredit Bank AG and WestLB AG.

EFIC structured and negotiated the Equity Convertible entered into by Baja with Louis Dreyfus Commodities ("Louis Dreyfus").  The facility is made available by way of letter of credit which, if called, converts into common shares of Baja.  In support of the Debt Facilities the Endeavour team also negotiated long-term copper and cobalt offtake arrangements with Louis Dreyfus.

For additional information on this transaction, please refer to Baja Mining Corp.'s press release of September 29, 2010.
