Andean Silver extends bonanza-grade veins beyond resources
- Further extensive high-grade mineralised veins discovered outside current resources and near processing facility
- Results provide more evidence of potential for substantial and rapid resource growth
- Andean building a pipeline of highly prospective drilling targets outside existing resources
Andean Silver continues to expand the extensive vein systems at the Cerro Bayo Project, with the discovery of high-grade mineralisation in multiple areas that will support ongoing resource growth. Follow-up sampling has produced compelling widths and grades across the recently identified Taitao East project area, with results including 1.2m @ 1,681g/t Silver equivalent and 1.2m @ 1,178g/t Silver equivalent. Mapping and sampling have also yielded extensions to the Taitao/Appaloosa structure proximal to the existing core shed and processing facility, with high-grade rock chip results such as 5,643g/t Silver equivalent and 4,585g/t Silver equivalent. Ongoing evaluation of the vein corridor extensions north of the Marcela/Guanaco trends has also led to the discovery of additional vein extensions and growth potential, with rock chip results up to 31,750g/t Silver equivalent. Andean is executing an aggressive exploration and resource growth campaign, aiming to advance the project from a predominantly exploration focus to a combination of exploration and restart planning in 2026. This will include drilling brownfields targets, continuing regional exploration, and commencing feasibility-level work.
