EXPLANATORY NOTE
This amendment number one to the Companys annual report on Form 40-F is being filed to clarify certain information relating to management of the Companys determination that material changes occured in the Companys internal control over financial reporting under the section heading Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Additionally, the Company is amending its disclosure under the section heading Contractual Obligations to clarify the nature of the Companys Other Long-Term Liabilities. No other sections of this annual report on Form 40-F have been amended, revised, or updated.
Endeavour Silver Corp. (the Company or the Registrant) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual report pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system of the Exchange Act. The Company is a foreign private issuer as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This annual report on Form 40-F and the exhibits attached hereto contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements concern the Companys anticipated results and developments in the Companys operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of its properties, plans related to its business and other matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.
Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed, and in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as expects or does not expect, is expected, anticipates or does not anticipate, plans, estimates or intends, or stating that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will (or the negative and grammatical variations of any of these terms and similar expressions) be taken, occur or be achieved,) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:
2
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements are described further in the exhibits attached to this annual report. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Companys forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made and the Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or managements beliefs, expectations or opinions change, except as required by law. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS-
DIFFERENCES IN
UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES
The Company is permitted, under the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), to prepare this annual report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which differ from those of the United States. The Company prepares its financial statements, which are filed as Exhibit 2 to this annual report on Form 40-F, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting practices (GAAP), and they are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards. They are not comparable to financial statements of United States companies. Significant measurement differences between Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP are described in Note 20 of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.
RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES
The Companys Annual Information Form (AIF) filed as Exhibit 1 to this annual report on Form 40-F has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms mineral reserve, proven mineral reserve and probable mineral reserve are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance
3
with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the CIM) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in SEC Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the Securities Act). Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a final or bankable feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.
In addition, the terms mineral resource, measured mineral resource, indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. Inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of contained ounces in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute reserves by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
Accordingly, information contained in this annual report and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and the with the participation of, the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Companys CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management, including the CEO and CFO, assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective and no material weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial reporting were discovered.
5
The Company is required to provide an auditors attestation report on its internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. In this annual report, the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP (KPMG), has provided its opinion as to the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. KPMG has also audited the Companys financial statements included in this annual report on Form 40-F and issued a report thereon.
Auditors Attestation Report
KPMGs attestation report on the Companys internal control over financial reporting is included in the audit report filed in Exhibit 2 and is incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 40-F.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the Companys internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the period covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. During the year ended December 31, 2008, management implemented the following initiatives to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified as at December 31, 2007.
Control Environment
In 2007, the Companys control environment did not sufficiently promote effective internal control over financial reporting throughout the organization. Specifically, the Company did not define nor communicate authority limits for entering into or approving contracts, making capital expenditures, or approving invoices for purchases, or develop policies and procedures to address the risk of management override. This applied to both the Canadian head office and Mexican operations. Further, the Company did not define nor communicate guidelines regarding investments in marketable securities. None of these control deficiencies by themselves directly resulted in a misstatement to the financial statements, however, deficiencies in the control environment were pervasive in nature and this material weakness was a contributing factor in other material weaknesses described below.
Information & Communication
In 2007, the Company did not maintain adequate controls to facilitate the flow of information used in financial reporting throughout the organization. Specifically, the Company did not effectively communicate employees duties over financial reporting. In addition, the Company did not have effective controls over the translation of all contracts and communication of them to appropriate personnel for consideration of financial reporting implications, in particular commitments and contingencies and mineral property acquisition costs. These control deficiencies did not result in adjustments to the financial statements, however, they were pervasive in nature and created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements would not be prevented or detected in a timely basis. Remediation of Control Environment and Information & Communication Weaknesses
6
Foreign Exchange
In 2007, the Companys controls over foreign currency translation were not designed effectively. Specifically, a cash account was not translated into the reporting currency and the Companys foreign exchange account reconciliation control was insufficiently precise to detect the error. This resulted in a material adjustment to cash and foreign exchange gain and created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements would not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.
Remediation of Foreign Exchange Weakness
Income Tax Accounting
In 2007, the Company did not maintain effective controls over accounting for Mexican income taxes. Specifically, the Company did not have personnel with adequate expertise in accounting for Mexican taxes. This deficiency resulted in material adjustments to current and future income tax expense and recovery and current and future income taxes payable. This deficiency resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements would not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.
Remediation of Income Tax Accounting Weakness
There have been material changes that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

The Companys Board of Directors (the Board of Directors) is responsible for the Companys Corporate Governance policies and has separately designated standing Compensation, Nominating and Audit Committees.

NYSE AMEX CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Companys common shares are listed on the NYSE Amex. Section 110 of the NYSE Amex Company Guide permits the NYSE Amex to consider the laws, customs and practices of foreign issuers in relaxing certain NYSE Amex listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from NYSE Amex listing criteria based on these considerations. A company seeking relief under these provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law. A description of the significant ways in which the Companys governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies pursuant to NYSE Amex standards is as follows:
Shareholder Meeting Quorum Requirement: The NYSE Amex minimum quorum requirement for a shareholder meeting is one-third of the outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, a company listed on the NYSE Amex is required to state its quorum requirement in its bylaws. The Companys quorum requirement is set forth in its Memorandum and Articles. A quorum for a meeting of members of the Company is two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 5% of the shares entitled to be voted at the
10
meeting.
Proxy Delivery Requirement: The NYSE Amex requires the solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for all shareholder meetings, and requires that these proxies shall be solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that conforms to SEC proxy rules. The Company is a foreign private issuer as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, and the equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from the proxy rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company solicits proxies in accordance with applicable rules and regulations in Canada.
Shareholder Approval Requirement: The Company will follow Toronto Stock Exchange rules for shareholder approval of new issuances of its common shares. Following Toronto Stock Exchange rules, shareholder approval is required for certain issuances of shares that: (i) materially affect control of the Company; or (ii) provide consideration to insiders in aggregate of 10% or greater of the market capitalization of the listed issuer and have not been negotiated at arms length. Shareholder approval is also required, pursuant to Toronto Stock Exchange rules, in the case of private placements: (x) for an aggregate number of listed securities issuable greater than 25% of the number of securities of the listed issuer which are outstanding, on a non-diluted basis, prior to the date of closing of the transaction if the price per security is less than the market price; or (y) that during any six month period are to insiders for listed securities or options, rights or other entitlements to listed securities greater than 10% of the number of securities of the listed issuer which are outstanding, on a non-diluted basis, prior to the date of the closing of the first private placement to an insider during the six month period.
The foregoing are consistent with the laws, customs and practices in Canada.
In addition, the Company may from time-to-time seek relief from NYSE Amex corporate governance requirements on specific transactions under Section 110 of the NYSE Amex Company Guide by providing written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by our home country law, in which case, the Company shall make the disclosure of such transactions available on its website at www.edrsilver.com. Information contained on the Companys website is not part of this annual report.
UNDERTAKING
The Company undertakes to make available, in person or by telephone, representatives to respond to inquiries made by the Commission staff, and to furnish promptly, when requested to do so by the Commission staff, information relating to: the securities registered pursuant to Form 40-F; the securities in relation to which the obligation to file an annual report on Form 40-F arises; or transactions in said securities.
CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
The Company filed an Appointment of Agent for Service of Process and Undertaking on Form F-X with the SEC on November 14, 2006, with respect to the class of securities in relation to which the obligation to file this annual report on Form 40-F arises.
