About First Andes Silver Ltd.

First Andes Silver Ltd. is a British Columbia company that holds a 100% interest in the high -grade Santas

Gloria silver property, located in a major mining district approximately 55 km east of Lima, Peru. Santas

Gloria has excellent established road access , is situated within a well -known intermediate-sulphidation

epithermal belt, and hosts over 12 km of multiphase veins mapped at surface that had never been

historically drilled or explored using modern techniques prior to 2024. Across two phases of diamond

drilling (2024-2025), First Andes has reported strong near-surface epithermal silver intercepts in 21 of 26

drill holes, confirming silver mineralization across multiple vein systems and supporting systematic,

project-wide exploration and follow-up drilling in 2026.
