310,778 ounces of gold in 2012. In addition, Endeavour has an 85% interest in the Agbaou Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire (“Agbaou”), where mine construction is currently underway. Endeavour also has the Houndé feasibility stage gold project in Burkina Faso (“Houndé”) and the Kofi exploration stage project in Mali (“Kofi”), as well as an extensive exploration portfolio in highly prospective regions of Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Liberia and Mali with a land package totaling over 10,000 square kilometres. This exploration portfolio provides an organic pipeline for potential future development projects. Endeavour also intends to continue with strategic acquisitions, primarily within West Africa. As at December 31, 2012, Endeavour had combined attributable gold proven and probable mineral reserves of approximately 2,492 ounces and attributable measured and indicated mineral resources (inclusive of reserves) of approximately 6,433 ounces. A full description of the assets and operations of Endeavour is in Tables 1 and 2 below.
