Andean Resources is an Australian listed public company (ASX:AND) focused on the exploration and development of gold projects in Patagonia, Argentina. The Company's major project is its 100% owned Cerro Negro epithermal gold deposit which was acquired from MIM Limited in January 2004.

The project, which is located in the southern Argentinean province of Santa Cruz, is at an elevation of approx 800m above sea level.

Andean Resources is embarking on it's third drill season with a 17,000m expansion and infill drill program currently underway.

Kennt jemand diesen Explorer, der Chart ist ja einfach nur Klasse.
Hab mich nocht net wirklich über das Unternehmen schlau gemacht, aber die Goldgehalte sind einfach fantastisch.

Andean Starts Phase 4 Drilling With 27m of 24 g/t Gold and 245 g/t Silver
11/1/2007    
PERTH, AUSTRALIA, Nov 01, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

Andean Resources (TSX: AND)(ASX: AND) is pleased to report the results of the first six drill holes of its Phase 4 drill program at its 100% owned Cerro Negro project in Southern Argentina with the following highlights:

- ERC-734 drilled 60m down-dip from EDD-723 intersects 27m of 24.0 g/t gold and 245 g/t silver at Eureka West

- Infill drilling confirming higher grades at Eureka West

- Step-out drilling to the west waiting on assays

The reported widths are intersected widths and true widths are less in every case; all the drill data associated with this release can be found in Table 1. Andean has assumed an underground cut-off of 2.5 g/t gold and categorized the drill holes for which it has received assays as either Step-out Holes or In-fill Holes:

Step-out Holes

The objective of the step-out drilling is to define the eastern and upper limits of the mineralised ore shoot and to test for strike extensions to the west, beneath younger cover rocks.

- ERC-734: 27m of 24.0 g/t gold and 245 g/t silver from 305m

- EDD-735 - EDD737: Modest step-outs on the eastern part of the Eureka West ore shoot resulted in no significant values (see longitudinal-section attached to the release).

ERC-734, a reverse circulation step-out hole to depth, drilled 60m beneath EDD-723 (52m of 25 g/t gold and 379 g/t silver), intersected the westerly plunging high-grade ore shoot on the Eureka West Vein with similar grades of gold and silver mineralization.

EDD-735 and EDD-736 targeted up-dip mineralization on the eastern end of the ore-shoot and did not intersect significant mineralization as these holes determined the upper limits of the productive horizon of the epithermal system.

EDD-737 determined the eastern limit of this ore-shoot. All these holes are shown relative to the previously defined mineralization on the longitudinal section attached to this release. While these holes may have defined the eastern limit of this ore-shoot, a second ore-shoot was most likely intersected by EDD721 (17m of 9.2g/t gold and 69 g/t silver) in the Phase 3 drilling further to the east. In addition, another 4km of outcropping Eureka vein remains to be further explored in this direction.

Infill Drilling

- EDD-739: 20m of 11.8 g/t gold and 51 g/t silver from 200m

- EDD-742: 7m of 6.0 g/t gold and 99 g/t silver from 142m

These infill holes tested the vertical extent of the mineralization on section 3500E. As expected the deeper hole, EDD-739, intersected higher grades than the upper hole, EDD-742. Both holes intersected grades equal to or higher than what was previously modelled.

Project Status: To date, 16 holes have been completed on the Eureka West Vein, of which Andean has received final assays on six holes, as reported above. Of the 10 holes waiting on assays, seven were step-out holes to the west on two 50m step-out sections. All holes awaiting assays intersected quartz veining. Two core-rigs are focusing on in-fill drilling and step-out drilling on the Eureka West Vein, while the Schramm reverse circulation drill-rig is completing an infill drilling program at Vein Zone. New assays will be reported in batches as they are received.

ANDEAN REPORTS HIGH-GRADE STEP-OUT DRILLING AT EUREKA WEST
• ERC-743 drilled 50m to the west of Phase 3 drilling intersects 21m of 15.3g/t gold and 298 g/t silver
• ERC-747 drilled 100m to the west of Phase 3 drilling intersects 25m of 27.5 g/t gold and 849 g/t silver
• Infill drilling producing higher grades at Eureka West than was previously modelled
• Vein Zone infill drilling intersects 56m of 9.0 g/t gold
• Additional step-out drilling to the west awaiting assays
Andean Resources (AND:ASX; AND:TSX) reports the results of the latest six drill holes of its Phase 4 drill program at its 100% owned Cerro Negro project in Southern Argentina. The reported widths are intersected widths and true widths are less in every case; all the drill data associated with this release can be found in Table 1. Andean has assumed an underground cut-off of 2.5 g/t gold at Eureka and 0.7 g/t gold for Vein Zone infill drilling; the drill holes for which assays have been received are categorized as either Step-out Holes or In-fill Holes:
Step-out Holes
The objective of the step-out drilling at Eureka West is to define the limits of this the first mineralised ore shoot to be delineated within the Eureka vein system. The results are shown below:
o ERC-743: 21m of 15.3 g/t gold and 298 g/t silver from 308m and
7m of 25.9 g/t gold and 129 g/t silver from 349m
o ERC-747: 3m of 127.9 g/t gold and 1,152 g/t silver from 267m and
25m of 27.5 g/t gold and 849 g/t silver from 277m and
3m of 4.5 g/t gold and 271 g/t silver from 313m and
5m of 16.7 g/t gold and 308 g/t silver from 327m

ERC-743, a reverse circulation step-out hole, drilled 50m to the west of EDD-723 (52m of 25 g/t gold and 379 g/t silver), intersected the westerly plunging high-grade ore shoot on the Eureka West Vein.
ERC-747, a reverse circulation step-out hole, drilled 100m to the west of EDD-723 also intersected the high-grade westerly plunging ore shoot.
The shoot remains open down-plunge to the west. Both these holes are shown on the longitudinal section of the Eureka West vein attached to this release.
Infill Drilling
o EDD-746: 32m of 15.4 g/t gold and 311 g/t silver from 168m and
7m of 7.8 g/t gold and 249 g/t silver from 225m
This infill hole at Eureka West was drilled on section 00E, in between EDD723 (52m of 25.3 g/t Au and 379 Ag) and EDD-729 (16.8m of 22.7 g/t Au and 702 g/t Ag). This drill-hole intersected gold and silver grades that were higher than what was expected in the resource model.

Vein Zone Infill Drilling
o VRC-770: 27m of 7.5 g/t gold from 160m
o VRC-771: 5m of 1.6 g/t gold from 63m
o VRC-772: 6m of 3.6g/t gold from 63m and
56m of 9.0 g/t gold from 93m
While VRC-771 defines the updip extent of the mineralization VRC-770 and VRC-772 intersected zones that were consistent with or higher than what was expected in the resource model. The purpose of the Vein Zone infill drill program is to upgrade portions of the inferred resource to the measured and indicated category for inclusion in the Pre-Feasibility Study that is underway.
Wayne Hubert, Andean’s CEO, commented, “I am delighted with the early success of the Cerro Negro exploration team in continuing to find high quality ounces at a low finding cost – all credit to the Andean team. To date, the continuity of this high-grade ore shoot at Eureka appears remarkable, which should have positive implications for our Pre-Feasibility Study currently underway. These results are consistent with our long-term plans, to first build a solid foundation at Cerro Negro, from which we can grow a low cost intermediate size gold company.”
Project Status
Currently, three drill rigs are focused on expanding and improving the confidence of the existing mineral resource at Cerro Negro. One core rig, a UDR 1000, is focused on extending the Eureka West vein to the west, which is becoming increasingly more difficult with topography (a hill) as well as increasingly deep post-vein cover working against the drilling effort. Another core rig, a UDR 200, is focused on infill drilling the Eureka West vein and obtaining metallurgical samples. With the Vein Zone infill drill program now complete, the Schramm reverse circulation rig can now focus on other targets to expand the resource base at Cerro Negro. New assays will be reported in batches as they are received.

(1) Intersections are drilled widths, not true widths. True widths are less than drilled intersections and can be determined from the Eureka cross-sections provided
(2) Coordinates and elevations are approximate and subject to final survey by a licensed surveyor
(3) The intersection 93-149m in VRC-772 includes 1m at 236.4 g/t Au (103-104m), and the 6m interval 102-108m averages 55.3 g/t Au
In the above table, the Gauss Kruger coordinate system and the Campo Inchauspe datum are used to define drill hole collar positions. However on the longitudinal projection and cross sections shown below, the coordinate system refers to a local grid established for drilling the Eureka West Vein. The north direction for this grid is oriented 045º True, and the origin, (00E, 00N) is at 2,393,888E, 4,808, 238N.
