History
editThe company, established by a team led by Neil Woodyer as Endeavour Financial in 1988, diversified from mining finance to mining operations in the early 21st century.[3]
It acquired Etruscan Resources (including the Agbaou mine in Côte d'Ivoire) in June 2010.[4]
Endeavor announced in June 2017 that it would purchase Avnel Gold Mining Limited for C$159 million. Avnel held an 80% interest in the Kalana Gold project in Mali and exploration permits in the surrounding area.[5]
Woodyer stood down as CEO and was replaced by Sébastien de Montessus in May 2016.[6]
In July 2020, the company acquired Semafo for its Mana and Boungou gold mines in Burkina Faso.[7]
In February 2021, the company acquired Teranga Gold Corporation for its Sabodala-Massawa gold mine in Senegal and its Wahgnion gold mine in Burkina Faso.[8]
The company was subject to an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange in June 2021.[9]
In January 2024, De Montessus was dismissed from his position as CEO due to allegations of serious misconduct over an irregular payment instruction associated with an asset disposal.[10] Ian Cockerill was appointed CEO.[11]
In September 2024, it was announced that the Boungou and Wahgnio mines in Burkina Faso would be nationalised, with a payment to be made to Endeavour Mining of $60mn in cash.[12]
