The latest transaction involves the purchase of ordinary shares, showcasing the company's strategic approach to capital management.
Details of the Share Purchase
This significant buyback initiative was carried out through Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited, where Endeavour Mining acquired an impressive number of 52,300 ordinary shares at varying prices.
