(TSXV: APM) (OTCQB: ANPMF) (\"Andean\" or the \"Company\") announces the resumption of full production following the previously announced fatal incident on May 4, 2022. Andean also provides an update on the Company's exploration drill program at the San Pablo project and initial results from the Company's drill program at the dry-stack tailings facility (\"DSF\"). Resumption of Operations at San Bartolomé Operations at San Bartolomé have resumed in full following an accident on May 4, 2022, when an employee at the processing plant fell from height during routine task and was fatally injured. A full investigation is underway and corrective measures have been implemented.

We continue to review the circumstances of this incident to ensure that improvements are implemented.\" Porphyry Intersected at San Pablo At San Pablo, the Company is currently completing the fourth and drill holes of a planned nine hole exploration program. To date, 2,189 meters have been completed. This program is targeting altered porphyry intrusions as the source of gold mineralisation hosted by sedimentary rocks discovered in the Company's phase one drill program in 2021. As previously announced, Quantec Geoscience carried out a Titan 24 deep induced polarization survey (\"DCIP\") and magnetotelluric survey (\"MT\") which informed the design of the current program. Hole SPW22-10 has now intersected the target porphyry system at 427 meters (350m vertical) with a planned drill depth of 650 meters. The intersection confirms the Company's geologic model with signature overprint alteration and host lithologies. Assays are currently taking 6 to 8 weeks with first results from the porphyry intercept expected...
