About First Andes Silver Ltd.

First Andes Silver is a British Columbia company that holds a 100-per-cent interest in the high-grade Santas Gloria silver property, located in a major mining district approximately 55 kilometres (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 to 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.
