ANDEAN PRECIOUS METALS STRENGTHENS BALANCE SHEET WITH

NEW $40 MILLION CREDIT FACILITY FROM NATIONAL BANK OF CANADA

TORONTO, ON – November 25, 2025 – Andean Precious Metals Corp. (“Andean” or the “Company”)

(TSX: APM) (OTCQX: ANPMF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new revolving credit

facility with National Bank of Canada (“NBC”), further strengthening the Company’s capital structure and

enhancing financial flexibility.

NBC Revolving Credit Facility Key Terms:

• Capacity: US$40 million, automatically reducing to US$30 million on the first anniversary

• Term: 2 years

• Interest rate: SOFR + 4.25%

The new facility provides improved liquidity and a more efficient cost of capital as Andean advances its

strategic and operational initiatives across its portfolio.

Closure of Existing Credit Facilities

Concurrent with the closing of the NBC Revolving Credit Facility, Andean has:

• Extinguished and closed the CommerceWest Main Street Lending Program Loan, totaling

US$36.1 million, which was fully repaid using a combination of drawdowns from the new NBC

Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand; and

• Closed the Company’s existing US$25 million credit facility with Banco Santander

International, which has been retired in conjunction with the establishment of the NBC

Revolving Credit Facility. With these actions, Andean has simplified its capital structure, reduced

the number of outstanding credit facilities, and aligned its financing arrangements with the

Company’s current scale and growth plans.

Juan Carlos Sandoval, Chief Financial Officer, stated: “The new credit facility with National Bank of

Canada represents a significant milestone in optimizing our balance sheet and reinforcing financial

flexibility to support the Company’s next stage of growth. By consolidating and retiring prior credit

arrangements, we have streamlined our capital structure, enhanced liquidity, and secured a more

competitive cost of capital. We value NBC’s partnership and remain committed to strengthening our

financial position as we advance our strategic objectives.”
