- Cerro Bayo hosts a Mineral Resource Estimate of 20.0Mt @ 211g/t AgEq for 136Moz AgEq, including 60Moz AgEq in the higher-confidence Indicated category, as at 30 June 2026. The resource comprises both open pit and underground mines across 2 mining complexes with the Cerro Bayo project and is supported by the collected knowledge and drilling investment over 20yrs of mining history through the district. Mineral Resource Estimates are classified and reported in accordance with the JORC Code. MSO shapes were generated to constrain the Resource using an NSR value of US$124/t and a minimum mining width of 1.2m. Pit optimisation shells were generated at an NSR cutoff or US$47/t to constrain the open pit resources with SMU of 3m x 5m x 5m applied. A gold price of US$3,500/oz and Silver price of US$45/oz was used to generate NSR cutoffs. Individual grades for all metals included in the metal equivalents calculation are set out in the table above. Silver equivalents are calculated using the equation AgEq = Ag(g/t) + (83 x Au(g/t)) and gold equivalents are calculated based on the equation AuEq = Au(g/t) + (Ag(g/t) / 83) based on a gold price of US$3,000/oz and Silver price of US$36/oz. Metallurgical recoveries for gold and silver are closely linked and are typically 85-93% for gold and silver. The actual assumed metallurgical recovery rate used to calculate the metal equivalents is 90% for each of gold and silver. The Company considers the estimation of metallurgical recoveries in respect of exploration work to be reasonable based on the past processing records from the nearby Cerro Bayo plant between 1995 and 2016, and work undertaken in preparing the Mineral Resource Estimate. It is the Company’s view that all elements in the silver and gold equivalents calculations have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold. Bulk Density of 2.63g/cm3 has been applied to veins and 2.57g/cm3 has been applied to stockwork and waste domains. Numbers may not add due to rounding.
- Projects
- ["Cerro Bayo Silver-Gold Project: The Cerro Bayo mine is 100% owned by Andean Silver. The mine covers 285sq.km and comprises over 70 contiguous exploration concessions as well as surface properties that covers the areas of the Laguna Verde mining district and processing facilities. The Cerro Bayo Project was in production for over 15 years, producing more than 45Moz Ag and 650koz Au (~99Moz AgEq). The Project has been on care and maintenance since October 2022. The Cerro Bayo mine is located 10km west of the town of Chile Chico in the Aysen region of Chile which is a 2.5hr commercial flight from Santiago that runs multiple times per day. Chile Chico has a population of ~4,000 people with skilled labour and major infrastructure including hospitals, schools and all weather road access to major deep-water regional ports. The Cerro Bayo project has an underground high grade resource of 7.9Mt @ 361g/t for 92Mozg AgEq and open pit 12.1Mt @ 112g/t AgEq for 44Moz AgEq. This resource comprises the existing Taitao open pit resource and the high grade underground mines of Delia Sth and Coyita SE. The Resource is supported by significant historic mining over a number of years by both open pit and underground as well as significant investment in drilling and geological knowledge. There is extensive areas within the existing mine area as well as greenfields targets to support future resource growth. Approximately 50% of the tenure remains undrill tested with a further 25% under drilled. Established greenfield targets within the know tenure that have not been drill tested that will be targeted for future drilling includes the Raul West, Claudia Vein and Draught Master vein swarm. Further greenfields exploration will be conducted East and Southeast of the Cerro Bayo Dome through to Sinter Hill where the topography increases and early stage programs such as IP and Magnetic surveys, Alteration studies and on ground mapping will need to be conducted to establish target zones. Andean Silver is delighted to announce its partnership with the Chile Chico municipality and the local community in constructing platforms designed to protect and preserve archaeological sites near our mine and the local town. These sites feature regionally significant rock art dating back over 3,500 years. For the first time in Chile Chico, the joint efforts of the municipality, community members, and private capital are working together to protect and preserve our historical sites. Our COO, Damien Koerber, and GM, Álvaro Fuentes, recently visited the site alongside the local mayor and community members to discuss the planned preservation efforts. These initiatives aim to safeguard the site while allowing access for future generations without causing damage.","Los Domos Project: The Los Domos project is located proximal to the flagship Cerro Bayo project in the Aysen regional of Chile and comprises 4,100Ha of mining and exploration licenses. Los Domos represents the SE extension of the Cerro Bayo system with a cumulative strike of over 10km and comprising over 8 major target structures and represents the NW tip of the Deseado Massif Volcanic sequence that hosts world class mineral systems such as Cerro Vanguardia and Cerro Negro. Los Domos has had significant exploration investment with over 7,000m of diamond drilling completed that has identified a significant Ag-Au-Zn-Pb mineralized body on the T7 target that extends over 600m of strike and down to over 200m in depth. Los Domos represents an earlier stage Zn-Pb deep crustal mineralized event that has a subsequent epithermal Ag-Au overprint. Similar deposit styles include Cerro Moro and Huaron (Pan American Silver) and Palmajero and Silvertip (Coeur Mining). Significant intercepts include; 9.7m @ 181g/t Ag, 2.58g/t Au, 4.15% Pb, 8.5% Zn, 0.4% Cu; 2.7m @ 132g/t Ag, 1.32g/t Au, 11.4% Pb, 10.7% Zn, 0.32% Cu; 8.39m @ 248g/t Ag, 20.7% Pb, 7.1% Zn, 0.7g/t Au. Future exploration will build on the work completed to date and will focus on a surface mapping and sampling campaign to extend and further define the targets at Los Domos as well as followup drilling of the multiple mineralized targets and infill drilling of the T7 target zone.","Cerro Diablo Project: The Cerro Diablo project is located 25km North of the flagship Cerro Bayo project in the Aysen regional of Chile and comprises 4,550Ha of exploration licenses. The project lies in the NW limits of the Deseado Massif mineral province that is a favorable host to intermediate-high sulphidation, Skarn, Porphyry and Volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) style mineralization. Cerro Diablo hosts characteristics of a hybrid style intermediate mineralized system with mineralization extending over 1km on surface and extensive Argillic surface alteration. Since its discovery no drilling has been conducted over the project area with 2 phases of field mapping and sampling completed with significant intercepts; Copper rich zone: 20.6% Cu, 30.8g/t Ag, 0.38% Zn, 0.17% Pb, 0.26g/t Au; 16.2% Cu, 24.6g/t Ag, 0.18% Zn, 0.11% Pb, 0.15g/t Au; 6.79% Cu, 11.7g/t Ag, 0.53g/t Au. Gold Rich Zone: 5.40g/t Au, 6.2g/t Ag; 4.91g/t Au, 3.8g/t Ag; 3.93g/t Au, 12.2g/t Ag. Polymetallic Rich Zone: 7.95% Zn, 35% Pb, 0.35% Cu, 112g/t Ag; 19% Zn, 20.8% Pb, 1.12% Cu, 100g/t Ag; 9.74% Zn, 7% Pb, 0.33% Cu, 54.7g/t Ag. Future exploration programs will focus on defining the mineralised system through a surface mapping and sampling campaign followed by planning of a maiden drill program to test the structural target zones observed at surface."]
