On August 30, 2011 I interviewed Bradford Cooke, Chairman and CEO of Endeavour Silver Corp. with respect to Endeavour’s then current operations and prospects.  Brad has over 30 years experience as a project geologist, executive, and director of numerous mineral explorers and producers.  Including Endeavour, he also currently serves as a director of four mining companies.

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Endeavour, together with its subsidiaries, produces and explores for silver in Mexico. It operates two underground mines, located in the States of Durango and Guanajuato.

In this 4 part interview Brad discussed the current gold and silver prices and current prices of gold and silver mining stocks, his views on Mexico country risk, Endeavour’s business model, corporate governance, business value ‘drivers’, business specifics, prospective risks and opportunities.

In the 8 years since its inception, Endeavour’s market capitalization has grown to just over Cdn$1 billion (September 2) – a major accomplishment for Brad and his team.  While the 4 parts of the interview range in length from 12 – 22 minutes, I suggest you listen to them.  They contain a lot of information on Endeavour, and from my perspective Brad Cooke was particularly objective when answering my questions.

If, after listening to the interview you are interested in researching Endeavour and discussing Endeavour with your investment advisor, you can cover significant research ground on StockResearchPortal.com and on Endeavour’s website.

Listen to Part 1 of the Interview – listening time 14 minutes.

About Our Interviews

Listen to this commentary

StockResearchPortal.com interviews are based on our belief in the importance of independence and objectivity – see our Interview Policy.

Our interviews, unlike many Executive and Industry Leader Interviews found on the Internet, are extensive and detailed.  We approach these interviews much like we would approach a ‘company acquisition interview’.  We do this for a number of reasons, not the least of which are that:

• we believe that if an investor, or a trader for that matter, invests or trades for either a long or limited time period they are in essence ‘acquiring the company’ whose shares they are buying or trading; and,

• interviews of +/-5 minutes typically highlight only one or two aspects of a company’s business, and often are aimed at promoting knowledge of one or two specific favourable events or aspects of the company whose Executive is being interviewed.  From time to time we may conduct interviews of such shorter length as supplements to our detailed interviews.  Where we do that, such interviews will be made available to our Subscribers in conjunction with our longer interviews.

We generate our interviews as MP3s in order to enable our Subscribers to listen to them from mobile devices if they elect to do that.

We recognize our interviews are unusually long by Internet standards.  Accordingly, we break them down into segments.  Our segments currently run longer than we would like them to, and we are actively working on ways to ‘tighten them up’.  Our objective is to reduce our interview segment time to a maximum of 10 minutes, and to limit the number of segment interviews to no more than five – included sequentially with our daily e-mails over the course of one week.

If Subscribers or other readers have questions or comments with respect to our Interview Policy, please write to us at info@stockresearchportal.com.
