Another Strong Quarter with Record Revenues, EBITDA, Earnings per Share and Liquid Assets

(All amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated)

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – November 11, 2025) – Andean Precious Metals Corp. (TSX: APM) (OTCQX: ANPMF) (“Andean” or the “Company“) is pleased to report its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. This news release should be read together with Andean’s management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A“) and condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (the “Financial Statements“) which are available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).

Alberto Morales, Executive Chairman and CEO stated: “The third quarter was another strong period for Andean, marked by record revenue and net income driven by higher metal prices, disciplined cost management, and solid margin performance. 

At Golden Queen, we maintained excellent cost control, delivering operating cash costs1 of $1,623 and all-in sustaining costs1 of $1,807, both well within guidance. This helped sustain healthy operating margins despite lower production tied to leach-cycle timing. However, we have seen improvements during the initial part of the fourth quarter 2025.

San Bartolome also performed well, benefiting from higher silver prices, increased production, and steady plant performance. The operation achieved a cash gross operating margin1 of $16.13 and a gross margin ratio1 of 43.76%, reflecting the team’s continued focus on efficiency and cost discipline.

Consolidated CAPEX1,4 totaled just $0.6 million in the quarter, reflecting our disciplined approach to investing in line with production targets and planned initiatives.

These results translated into record earnings and a significant increase in liquid assets1 with $121.4 million1 at quarter-end. We remain in a very strong financial position, providing flexibility to continue investing in our assets, advancing exploration, and pursuing growth opportunities that create long-term value for our shareholders.

Looking ahead to year-end, production at Golden Queen is expected to fall below the lower end of guidance resulting from lower production tied to the leach-cycle timing, although showing improvements into the initial part of the fourth quarter. San Bartolome continues to perform strongly at the top of its production guidance range and we expect our consolidated production to finish at year-end near the lower end of our guidance range.

Importantly, the Company expects to deliver solid cost and margin performance, with Golden Queen’s costs tracking within mid-range guidance, San Bartolome’s margins are expected to be near the upper end, and consolidated CAPEX remaining in line with expectations. These results reflect strong operational discipline and highlights the Company’s ability to maintain a robust financial performance despite production variances.”

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights:

  • Record Consolidated Revenue of $90.4 million arising from higher silver production and sales at an average realized gold price1 of $3,448/oz and an average realized silver price1 of $40.09/oz.

  • Consolidated Q3 production of 25,688 gold equivalent ouncesand 71,388 gold equivalent ounces2 for YTD 2025.

  • Record Gross Operating Income of $36.8 million, mainly due to higher average realized gold and silver prices, and higher silver production.

  • Record Income from Operations of $30.7 million, mainly due to higher gross operating income partially offset by higher exploration expenditures.

  • Record Adjusted EBITDA1 of $36.0 million.

  • Record Net Income and Net Income per Share of $43.7 million and $0.29 (diluted basis), respectively.

  • Record Liquid Assets, ended Q3 2025 with $121.4 million

  • Free cash flow1 of $12.4 million.

  • The Company strengthened its balance sheet, increasing total assets to $370.8 million while total liabilities decreased to $145.2 million. The improved financial position reflects strong cash-flow generation, unrealized gains on equity investments, higher working capital, and the repayment of the Company’s revolving credit facilities.

Golden Queen Results:

  • Golden Queen produced 10,083 gold equivalent ounces2 in Q3 2025 and 33,484 gold equivalent ounces2 YTD.

  • Golden Queen OCC1 of $1,623/oz and AISC1 of $1,807/oz for Q3 2025.

San Bartolome Results:

  • San Bartolome produced 15,606 gold equivalent ounces2 in Q3 2025 and 37,906 gold equivalent ounces2 YTD.

  • Cash Gross Operating Margin (“CGOM”)1 of $16.13 per silver equivalent ounce sold and a Gross Margin Ratio (“GMR”)1 of 43.76% for Q3 2025.

Corporate Updates:

  • Effective August 29, 2025, Peter Gundy stepped down from the board of directors. The Company extends sincere appreciation to Mr. Gundy for his many years of dedicated service and valuable contributions in guiding Andean through key corporate milestones and strategic initiatives.

  • On November 10, 2025, the Company filed a base shelf prospectus with the securities regulator in Canada, qualifying the Company for an issuance of up to $200 million of securities over the next 25 months. This filing provides the Company with enhanced flexibility to access capital markets efficiently as opportunities arise, supporting funding for strategic growth initiatives, project development, and general corporate purposes. The base shelf prospectus does not represent an immediate offering of securities but positions the Company to respond swiftly to favorable market conditions, ensuring a strong platform for continued development and shareholder value creation.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES, RATIOS, AND SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL MEASURES

This news release includes “specified financial measures” within the meaning of National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure (“NI 52-112”), specifically the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures described below. Management believes that the use of these measures assists analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in understanding the costs associated with producing silver and gold, understanding the economics of silver and gold mining, assessing operating performance, the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow from current operations, and for planning and forecasting of future periods.

The specified financial measures used in this news release do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, even as compared to other issuers who may be applying the World Gold Council (“WGC”) guidelines. Accordingly, these measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Operating Cash Costs

OCC includes total production cash costs incurred at the Company’s mining operations, which form the basis of the Company’s cash costs, less by-product revenue.

Beginning in 2025 with impact on prior-year comparative periods, the Company reclassed mine-site general and administrative expenses to cost of sales which has a corresponding impact on the calculation of OCC.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the OCC per ounce sold on a by-product basis to the Financial Statements:

All-in Sustaining Costs

AISC on a by-product basis per ounce is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as AISC on a by-product basis divided by ounces of gold sold. AISC on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the aggregate of production costs as recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss), refining and transport costs, cash component of sustaining capital expenditures, lease payments related to sustaining assets, corporate general and administrative expenses and accretion expenses. When calculating AISC on a by-product basis, all revenue received from the sale silver at Golden Queen are treated as a reduction of costs incurred. The Company believes that AISC represents the total costs of producing gold from current operations and provides the Company and other stakeholders of the Company with additional information relating to the Company’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flow.

Cash Gross Operating Margin

CGOM per silver equivalent ounce sold is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost of sale (cost of sales, allocated corporate administrative costs and business unit general and administration cost) per equivalent ounce sold from the average selling price per equivalent ounce. It is a measure of financial performance with no prescribed definition under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers.

Gross Margin Ratio

GMR is calculated by subtracting the cost of sales as reported in the income statement from the revenue of equivalent ounces divided by revenue from sales of equivalent ounces. GMR is a measure of financial performance with no prescribed definition under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers.

Beginning in 2025 with impact on prior-year comparative periods, the Company reclassed mine-site general and administrative expenses to cost of sales which has a corresponding impact on the calculation of GMR.

Free Cash Flow

The Company has included free cash flow as a non-GAAP financial measure in this news release. The Company considers net cash provided from operating activities, less capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment, to be a measure that allows the Company and investors to evaluate the ability of the Company to generate cash flow. Accordingly, free cash flow is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures calculated by adjusting net income (loss) as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss) for items not associated with ongoing operations. The Company believes that this generally accepted industry measure allows the evaluation of the results of income-generating capabilities and is useful in making comparisons between periods. This measure adjusts for the impact of items not associated with ongoing operations. Management uses this measure to monitor and plan for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company is using a conversion factor of 90, based on price assumptions of $2,500 per ounce of gold and $27.78 per ounce of silver.

(3) Beginning in 2025 with impact on prior-year comparative periods, the Company reclassified mine-site general and administrative expenses to cost of sales which has a corresponding impact on OCC, GMR, cost of sales, and gross operating income.

(4) Beginning in Q3’2025, the Company has changed its methodology for reporting CAPEX. The Company is now reporting CAPEX on a cash-flow basis, with reconciliation to our statement of cash flows and specifically expenditures on property, plant, and equipment, and aligns with our peers and industry practices. The change has been applied to prior-period CAPEX reporting.
