ANDEAN PRECIOUS METALS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER

OPERATIONAL RESULTS

TORONTO, ON – October 15, 2025 – Andean Precious Metals Corp. (“Andean” or the “Company”)

(TSX: APM) (OTCQX: ANPMF) is pleased to report its third quarter operational results for the quarter

ended September 30, 2025. The Company is also providing notice that it will release its third quarter

2025 financial results after market close on Tuesday , November 11, 2025. The Company will host its

third quarter 2025 earnings conference call and webcast on Wednesday , November 12, 2025, at 9:00

am Eastern Time.

Alberto Morales, Executive Chairman and CEO, commented: “The Company’s consolidated gold

equivalent production increased from 24,341 oz in Q2 to 25,688 oz in Q3, driven by a strong increase

in silver production at San Bartolome. Silver equivalent production at San Bartolom e increased as

forecast, from 1.092 million oz in Q2 to 1. 404 million oz in Q3. At Golden Queen, the migration of fine

ore particles impacted the permeability of a designated high-grade leach cell scheduled for processing.

To resolve this challenge, the cell underwent reconditioning, and the leaching solution was administered

at a reduced rate to mitigate further particle migration. The operations team utilized this situation to

optimize ore blending protocols and adjust the strategy for applying the leaching solution. This delayed

the timing of the leaching process, which resulted in gold equivalent production of 10,083 oz in Q3

versus 12,213 oz in Q2. We expect the Q3 production shortfall to be incremental to our future quarterly

production. Golden Queen has returned to operating within expected parameters, with gold production

increasing from late September through early October and showing a stabilizing trend.

Consolidated gold equivalent production for the first nine months of this year is slightly below guidance,

with strong silver output helping to offset lower-than-expected gold production. As we move toward year-

end, Andean is operating closer to the lower range of its annual production guidance, with expectations

for a solid fourth quarter supported by continued strength from San Bartolom e and stabilizing

performance at Golden Queen.

Notably, Andean achieved record realized prices in the third quarter at $3,448 per ounce of gold and

$40.09 per ounce of silver, further strengthening our financial results and balance sheet and positioning

us for a strong finish to the year. We look forward to providing a full update with our Q3 financial results

after market close on November 11, with our conference call the following morning.”

Production Summary

Operational Results

(1) Beginning in 2025, gold equivalent ounces of silver produced or sold in a quarter are computed using a

consistent ratio of silver price to the gold price and multiplying this ratio by silver ounces produced or sold during

that quarter. The Company is using a conversion factor of 90 using a price assumption of $2,500 per ounce of

gold and $27.78 per ounce of silver.
