Minera Andes Initiates Exploration on 100%-Owned Targets in Argentina
SPOKANE, WA----August 24, 2009---- Minera Andes Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Minera Andes") (TSX: MAI and US OTC: MNEAF) is pleased to announce exploration plans for two principal areas in Argentina. 1) Santa Cruz province where the Corporation's San José mine is located and 2) San Juan province, site of the Corporation's recent Los Azules copper discovery. The target in Santa Cruz province is high-grade epithermal gold-silver mineralization. In San Juan province porphyry-style copper mineralization is the primary target.

Exploration Program
Minera Andes plans to systematically evaluate its portfolio of properties in Santa Cruz and San Juan province. It is anticipated that in the next eighteen months all the properties currently held will be evaluated using satellite image analysis, soil and rock sampling and geologic mapping. We expect to conduct further work, including various geophysical surveys, on 8 to 10 properties in total. Our work plan calls for reconnaissance core drilling on up to five targets (2,500 meters per target).

Santa Cruz Province --Big Potential - Many New discoveries
Since beginning exploration in Argentina in the 1990's, Minera Andes has one of the most successful exploration teams in Argentina with two discoveries to its credit: the now-producing San José mine (a joint venture between the Corporation and Hochschild Mining plc in which the Corporation has a 49% interest) in Santa Cruz province and the Los Azules porphyry copper project in the San Juan province. Santa Cruz is home to several significant precious metal mines and new discoveries. It was not until the 1990's that the area began to be explored. Now that our mine is built and we have money in the bank, we will be aggressively looking at the discovery potential of our extensive land holdings.

The producing mines in the Deseado massif are: AngloGold Ashanti's Cerro Vanguardia mine (reserves of 3.5 million ounces (m oz) of gold and a production rate 220,000 oz per year); Pan American Silver's Manantial Espejo mine (reserves of 75 m oz silver and a production rate of 4 m oz silver and 60,000 oz gold per year); Coeur's Mina Marta (a reserve of 50 m oz silver and a production rate of 2.7 m oz per year); and Minera Andes' discovery, the San José mine (reserves of 27.3 m oz silver and 412,000 oz gold, measured and indicated resources of 39 m oz silver and 570,000 oz gold with a production of 6 m oz silver and 60,000 oz gold per year).

Exploration continues to yield positive results in Santa Cruz. Notable recent exploration successes include Andean Resources' Cerro Negro property, close to San José, where a resource of 2.4 m oz of gold has been discovered at the Eureka vein and Exeter Resources' Cerro Moro property which so far has a resource of more that 600,000 oz gold equivalent. These new discoveries attest to the continued exploration potential of the Deseado Massif.

Minera Andes currently controls 35 properties in Santa Cruz province covering approximately 66,000 hectares. The exploration target is gold and silver mineralization in low- to intermediate-sulfidation epithermal systems. Largely acquired on the basis of satellite imagery, geologic setting and proximity to known mineralized trends, these properties run the full gamut from grassroots properties, with little or no work done to date, all the way to targets ready to drill (Martes 13). Several properties have already been the focus of preliminary drill campaigns and will be re-evaluated as part of the planned campaign.

San Juan Province
The Andean cordillera of Chile and Argentina hosts 18% of the world's copper resources. Alone, the Miocene copper belt of Chile contains 605 billion pounds of copper. Minera Andes has already made a significant copper discovery at Los Azules where 11 billion pounds of copper have been delineated at potentially mineable grades (in an inferred resource of 922 million tonnes of 0.55% copper). Los Azules is subject to an option earn-in agreement with Xstrata Copper

In addition to Los Azules, Minera Andes holds three other porphyry copper targets in San Juan province. One of them, Los Chonchones, has been extensively sampled in a grassroots sense and displays characteristics (alteration etc) typical of productive porphyry copper systems and, consequently, is a strong candidate for further work.

Initial results from the Celestina project, Santa Cruz province
As a precursor to the proposed program, drilling was completed at the Celestina property in early June. A total of 10 core holes were drilled to depths between 140 meters and 240 meters, for a total of 1,731 meters, to test for gold/silver mineralization. Drilling confirmed the presence of a low-sulfidation epithermal mineralized system. Nine of the ten holes cut significant widths of mineralized structures. Mineralized intercepts included strongly altered faults and breccias zones with some zones of gray to crystalline quartz. Identified minerals included abundant pyrite and occasional lead and zinc minerals. Assays revealed only weakly anomalous gold (up to 1.2 g/t over 1.2 meters and 0.40 g/t over 0.3 meters in hole CL09-10) and silver values (up to 106 g/t over 2.4 meters in hole CL09-04). A thorough study of the geologic significance of the drill program will be made before any decision is made regarding further work.

Qualified Person
Assay results were reviewed by Brian Gavin, Minera Andes' vice president, exploration, who is an appropriately qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. All samples were collected in accordance with industry standards. Splits from the drill core samples were submitted to Acme Analytical Argentina, S.A., in Mendoza, Argentina, for fire assay and ICP analysis. Accuracy of results is tested through the systematic inclusion of standards, blanks and check assays.

About Minera Andes
Minera Andes is a gold, silver and copper exploration company focused in Argentina. The Corporation holds or has an interest in approximately 304,000 acres of mineral exploration land in Argentina, including the properties comprising the San José silver/gold mine (a joint venture between the Corporation and Hochschild Mining plc in which the Corporation has a 49% interest), which covers 50,941 hectares and is not included in the acres noted above.

Minera Andes is also exploring the Los Azules copper project in San Juan province, Argentina in respect of which a preliminary assessment has been completed and a technical report filed. Other exploration properties, primarily silver and gold, in southern Argentina, are being evaluated. The Corporation presently has 261,393,851 shares issued and outstanding.

The weighted average gross sales prices were $15.54/ounce of silver and 985/ounce of gold during the third quarter of 2009 and 13.42/ounce of silver and 919/ounce of gold during the previous quarter. San José's silver and gold sales are unhedged. The third quarter 2009 sales of silver and gold by the San José Mine were 12% higher compared to second quarter of 2009 due to higher metal prices and a higher quantity of ounces of gold sold, partially offset by a lower quantity of silver ounces sold.

Production cash operating costs (calculated on a co-product basis) for the mine were $4.75 per ounce for 1,402,000 ounces of silver and $313 per ounce for 22,470 ounces of gold. As previously reported, a total of 122,342 tonnes of ore was processed in the third quarter of 2009 with an average grade of 407 grams per tonne of silver and 6.65 grams per tonne of gold. The sale products are marketed in the form of concentrates and doré bullion. Cash operating costs were $13.5 million for the quarter, which represents an increase of 9% compared to the 2nd quarter of 2009. The cash cost per tonne slightly increased by 1% to $113.1 per tonne during the quarter.

Bin mittlerweile auch dabei.

Hier eine halbwegs aktuelle Präsentation:

http://www.minandes.com/i/pdf/CorporatePresentation.pdf

1. McEwen schätzt den Wert des Unternehmens auf 625 bis 750 Millionen Dollar. Bei 260 Mio. ausgegebenen Aktien (gibt aber noch ein paar Warrants) hätte der Kurs noch Luft.

2. Die Übernahme von Andean durch Goldcorp. findet sozusagen in unmittelbarer Nähe der San José-Mine statt.

"Sell on good news" war für mich die Devise, was dank eines hohen zweistelligen Prozentgewinns einfach fiel.

Aber ich komme gerne auf diesen feinen Wert zurück.
