Discussion

Andina Minerals is a Toronto-based junior gold exploration company that is presently focused on expanding the 9.9 Moz gold resource base of the Volcan project in northern
Chile’s Maricunga gold belt. In addition to Volcan, the company’s project portfolio in Chile includes four other assets, all of which are at an early stage of development.

Andina Minerals is currently focused on resource expansion and advancement of the 100%-owned Volcan property in Chile. The Volcan project is strategically located in the Maricunga district of Chile, within 10 km of Yamana’s La Pepa project and 35 km of Kinross’ Marincunga (aka Refugio) mine. We view Kinross, Yamana and Barrick as potential interested buyers, in declining order of likelihood.

The current gold resource at Volcan in the Dorado zones and the smaller Ojo de Agua zone stands at 9.9 Moz (6.62 Moz indicated and 3.28 Moz inferred). Activities in the upcoming
season will include additional drilling and work towards a scoping study on the project.

The Volcan project area also comprises an historical (non 43-101 compliant) sulphur resource of 4.7 million tones grading 40% sulphur. The company’s recent release of preliminary metallurgy highlighted decent recoveries and flotation concentrate grades and low levels of selenium and arsenic. While not of principle focus, this sulphur resource could
prove to be of some future value.

At a market capitalization of only US$47 million, the shares are valued at only $5/oz Au based on the total resource of 9.9 Moz and only $3/oz net of $22 million in cash. Our 12-month target price of C$2.50 reflects 0.9 times our diluted 10%/$950 peak gold NAVPS of US$2.50 adjusted for a US$0.90/C$1.00 exchange rate.

Next Catalysts: Ongoing drill results and delivery of scoping study expected at some point
in 2009.
