ANDEAN PRECIOUS METALS RENEWS
NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID PROGRAM
TORONTO, Ontario, January 2, 2024 – Andean Precious Metals Corp. (TSX-V: APM) (OTCQX:
ANPMF) (the “Company”) announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has accepted notice
of the Company’s intention to make a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) for certain of its common shares
(the “Shares”). Pursuant to the NCIB, the Company intends to purchase up to 7,490,221 of its
outstanding Shares, representing up to 5% of the 149,362,936 issued and outstanding Shares as at
January 2, 2024.
The Company first initiated its NCIB on October 4, 2022. Since the inception of the NCIB in the fall of
2022, a total of 10,993,391 Shares at an average purchase price of C$0.78 have been repurchased and
cancelled for a total of $6,352,869 (C$8,579,914).
Purchases pursuant to the NCIB will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX. The
NCIB may commence on January 3, 2025, until January 2, 2026, or such earlier time as the NCIB is
completed or at the option of the Company. All Shares purchased pursuant to the NCIB will be returned
to treasury and cancelled.
All Shares purchased by the Company under the NCIB will be purchased at the market price, plus
brokerage fees, at the time of acquisition in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX-V and
applicable securities laws. All purchases to be made under the NCIB will be pre-approved and
authorized by the board or by a committee that may be authorized by the board to do so. No purchases
will be made other than by means of open market transactions during the term of the NCIB. Although
the Company’s intention is to acquire its Shares pursuant to the NCIB, it is not obligated to make any
purchases and purchases may be suspended by the Company at any time.
The Company is undertaking the NCIB because, in the opinion of its board of directors, from time to
time the market price of its Shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company’s business,
and that repurchase of its Shares at current market prices would be an appropriate use of corporate
funds.
The Company has engaged Desjardins Securities Inc. to act as the broker to facilitate the purchase of
Shares under the NCIB.
To the knowledge of the Company, no director, senior officer or other insider of the Company currently
intends to sell any Shares under the NCIB.
