[{"type":"text","content":"First Andes Silver Reports High-Grade Silver Assays, Santas Gloria Project, PeruVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2025) - FIRST ANDES SILVER LTD. (TSXV: FAS) (OTC Pink: MSLVF) (FSE: 9TZ) (the \"Company\" or \"First Andes\") today announced high-grade silver assay results from its 2,000-meter (\"m\") drill program at the Company's 100%-owned Santas Gloria Project (\"Santas Gloria\" or the \"Project\"), located approximately 55 kilometers (\"km\") east of Lima, Peru.Key Point SummaryOne of the objectives of this program was to test for San Jorge vein (\"San Jorge\") sulphide zones at depth, beneath the oxide zones encountered in the 2024 campaign. Down-dip drilling continued to intercept strongly oxidized mineralization, indicating deep groundwater penetration, alteration and leaching of galena, sphalerite, and associated silver, and strongly suggesting that a fully intact sulphide-rich system remains preserved and open at depth, representing a compelling target for follow-up drilling;Vein textures, mineralogy and alteration confirms that drill holes intercepted the uppermost parts of an intermediate sulphidation epithermal system, substantiating the extensive depth potential, and warranting the permitting of additional drill pads;First Andes' has commenced permitting of additional drill pads in strategic locations along San Jorge, as well as untested vein systems property-wide (e.g. Kelly vein: 1.2 km strike length with 56.3 g/t Au, 28.2 g/t Au, 21.1 g/t Au 18.2 g/t Au, 14.6 g/t Au in surface channel samples, undrilled);Assays received in full for 2025 drill holes SG016-SG022, results for drill holes SG023-SG029 remain pending;Drill hole SG017 at San Jorge reported:190.5 g/t AgEq (164.8 g/t Ag, 0.20 g/t Au, 0.17% Pb, 0.23% Zn) over 6.20 m from 174.70 m (downhole), incl 578.6 g/t AgEq (533.8 g/t Ag, 0.32 g/t Au, 0.24% Pb, 0.57% Zn) over 0.60 m from 176.80 m;Drill hole SG022 reported:268.2 g/t AgEq (248.5 g/t Ag, 0.12 g/t Au, 0.32% Pb, 0.14% Zn) over 3.90 m from 91.90 m, incl. 638.1 g/t AgEq (606.2 g/t Ag, 0.18 g/t Au, 0.68% Pb, 0.12% Zn) over 0.70 m from 95.10 m;Drill hole SG019 reported:350.4 g/t AgEq (332.1 g/t Ag, 0.11 g/t Au, 0.10% Pb, 0.68% Zn) over 1.10 m from 109.80 m, incl. 443.2 g/t AgEq (392.4 g/t Ag, 0.13 g/t Au, 0.23% Pb, 1.50% Zn) over 0.50 m from 110.40 m;Drill holes SG016, SG018 and SG019 int...
