Andean American Intersects 7.76 g/t Gold over 3.3 Metres at the Invicta Project

Andean American Mining Corp. (TSX.V-AAG) (FWB-AQN) (BVL-AAG) is pleased to report results from additional infill diamond drilling on the Atenea Structure at its Invicta property in Peru. The 41,500 hectare Invicta Project hosts massive to semi-massive style gold-silver-copper mineralization. The Project is located in west central Peru approximately 250 kilometers by road north east of the city of Lima at an altitude of 3,400 meters.

Drill Hole AE-DDH-07-33 was drilled on Section ATE-5NW, and intersected the Atenea Structure approximately 105 metres below surface, and approximately 50 metres down dip from Drill Hole 4411-97-16 drilled by Pangea in 1997.

Drill Hole AE-DDH-07-33 intersected:

Interval (m) Width (m) Est. True Au g/t Ag g/t Cu % Pb % Zn %
Width (m)

182.4 – 183.5 1.1 0.9 0.10 8.7 0.49 0.07 0.04

187.5 – 188.8 1.3 1.0 0.15 7.7 0.43 0.06 0.03

190.5 – 194.8 3.4 3.34 7.76 3.4 0.08 0.10 0.06

This intersection has upgraded a previous indicated resource block to the measured resource category. The results from the ongoing 10,000m drill program, in conjunction with continued underground sampling and drilling from the 3400 Level adit, are designed to upgrade the resource estimates.

“The results from the deeper drilling indicate that the mineralized system continues to depth and appears to be widening.” states President Andrew Gourlay. “This confirms our belief that the Atenea Structure is well mineralized and demonstrates the need to further define the potential for high gold grades from the structure through continued drilling and sampling.”

Current resources estimates include 4,739,500 tonnes grading 2.73 g/t Au, 18.3 g/t Ag and 0.45% Cu in the measured and indicated categories, with an additional 6,088,700 tonnes grading 1.44 g/t Au, 15.7 g/t Ag and 0.53% Cu in the inferred category. Resource estimates are from the NI 43-101 Invicta Technical Report filed on SEDAR and dated July 24, 2007. Wardrop Engineering Inc. is currently preparing an updated resource estimate based on data from the 13,000m 2007 drill program.

The Atenea Structure is the most advanced target of the eight identified on the Invicta Property, which covers 41,500 hectares. The Atenea Vein Structure consists of quartz-cemented hydrothermal breccia with variable amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite and traces of bornite. The quartz varies from white to grey, and displays acicular crystals, cockade textures and open spaced filling, with rare vugs lined with quartz crystals to 5cm size. The sulphides within the quartz vary from disseminated to massive. The bounding faults dip to the south at between 60 and 70 degrees.
