Q3 2026 Highlights:
Alberto Morales, Executive Chairman and CEO, stated: “The third quarter demonstrates the strength of our business and the benefits of disciplined execution. Our choice to defer the sale of finished inventory at the end of the second quarter allowed us to realize stronger metal prices early in Q3, contributing to record quarterly revenue and strong cash generation, which combined with our solid balance sheet, positions Andean with considerable financial flexibility.
Operationally, our teams at San Bartolome and Golden Queen continue to advance the priorities at each operation. San Bartolome delivered another strong quarter, with higher purchased-ore grades and sustained throughput supporting an improved silver outlook. At Golden Queen, higher heap leach recoveries contributed to a sequential improvement in production. We remain focused on supporting our people and driving further operational improvements at both assets.
Our updated guidance reflects the operating outlook for the remainder of the year, while the reduction in planned capital expenditures demonstrates our disciplined approach to prioritizing investment and capital allocation. We also continue to execute on that approach through our share repurchases and the addition of a strategic silver holding to our treasury.
Andean’s vision is to build the company into a leading mid-tier precious metals producer with a diversified portfolio across the Americas. The updated Golden Queen technical report will be an important input into our assessment of the operation and future investment opportunities. With a strong financial foundation, two operating assets and an experienced team, we are focused on improving performance, allocating capital thoughtfully and creating sustainable long-term value for shareholders.”

2026 Guidance Update:
The Company’s original and revised guidance for 2026 is summarized below. Following a review of its results for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and its operating forecasts for the fourth quarter, the Company has revised its full-year guidance for each operation and on a consolidated basis; nine-month production of 79,992 GEOs represents approximately 76% of the midpoint of the revised consolidated range of 101,000 to 109,000 GEOs. The original guidance assumed a foreign exchange rate of 9.00 Bolivian bolivianos to 1.00 U.S. dollar, while the revised guidance assumes 12.00 BOB to 1.00 U.S. dollar for the fourth quarter of 2026. This guidance constitutes forward-looking information and is subject to the risks, uncertainties and assumptions described under “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. The OCC, AISC, CGOM, GMR and capital expenditure guidance are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios; they are calculated on the same basis as the equivalent historical measures reconciled under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, and there are no significant differences in composition between the forward-looking and the historical measures.
Golden Queen: gold production guidance has been revised to 37,000 to 40,000 ounces (from 43,000 to 50,000 ounces), with OCC and AISC guidance increased to $1,800 to $2,000 and $2,100 to $2,300 per gold ounce sold, respectively (from $1,500 to $1,800 and $1,850 to $2,150), reflecting lower stacked grades and tonnes under the current mine sequence and the timing of heap leach recoveries. Capital expenditure guidance has been reduced to $14 to $21 million (from $32 to $43 million) as the heap leach pad expansion has been deferred and the Merrill-Crowe plant upgrade is under review in conjunction with the updated technical report.
San Bartolome: silver production guidance has been revised to 4.8 to 5.2 million ounces, up from 4.4 to 4.8 million ounces, on higher purchased-ore volumes and grades and sustained plant throughput, while CGOM and GMR guidance are unchanged at $20.00 to $35.00 per silver equivalent ounce and 35% to 45%, respectively, with ore purchase costs moving with the spot price of silver.
