Andean Precious Metals Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2025 Financial Results
Record Financial Performance and NYSE Ambitions Signal Mid-Tier Evolution
The most recent news (March 25, 2026) reports record-breaking financial results for the full year 2025. Andean achieved annual revenue of $359.8 million and net income of $118.2 million ($0.78 per share). The company exited the year with a massive liquid asset position of $166.8 million. This follows a string of strategic milestones in March 2026, including the announcement of an intention to list on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the company's inclusion in the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ). For 2026, management provided production guidance of 100k–114k gold equivalent ounces (AuEq), supported by a significant $38M–$54M capital expenditure budget.
The impact is Material - Positive. While the production results (99,165 AuEq) were slightly below the original 2025 guidance (102.9k–117.2k), the financial conversion was exceptional due to record realized prices ($4,171/oz Au in Q4). - Financial Strength: The jump in liquid assets from $121M in Q3 to $166.8M in Q4 provides a massive "war chest" for M&A, which is a stated core strategy. - Market Access: The NYSE listing and GDXJ inclusion are transformative for liquidity and institutional reach. - Operational Recovery: The leaching issues at Golden Queen that hampered Q3 results appear resolved, with 2026 guidance suggesting a return to full strength. - Shareholder Alignment: Despite a large secondary offering by the CEO's firm (PMB Partners) in January 2026 at C$10.50, the CEO remains the largest shareholder, and the transaction successfully increased the public float without diluting existing holders.
Andean Precious Metals is a multi-asset producer with two primary operations: - Golden Queen (California, USA): An open-pit heap leach gold-silver mine. It is the primary growth engine with significant exploration upside in the "Hilltop" and "Starlight" veins. - San Bartolome (Bolivia): A silver-focused processing facility. It operates on a unique model of purchasing ore from local cooperatives and COMIBOL. It is a consistent cash cow with a new 10-year agreement to purchase up to 7 million tonnes of oxide ore.
