Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 29, 2024) - Andean Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: APM) (OTCQX: ANPMF) ("Andean" or the "Company") announced that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Andean PM, AB, it has entered into an agreement for a 12-month $25 million renewable secured revolving line of credit ("LOC") with Banco Santander International. The agreement is effective as of February 28, 2024.

The LOC provides for $25 million to be used for general corporate purposes and is secured by short-term investments and cash equivalents. It bears interest on any outstanding borrowings at the 3-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 90 basis points.

"While we expect to maintain a strong year-end balance sheet as at December 31, 2023 with liquid assets of approximately $72 million, including an unaudited cash balance of $65 million, this LOC provides the Company with continued financial flexibility and builds on our treasury management capabilities as we pursue our vision of being a multi-asset mid-tier precious metals producer," stated Juan Carlos Sandoval, Andean's Chief Financial Officer.
