TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Feb. 8, 2007) - ANDINA Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ADM - News; "Andina") is pleased to report further drill assay results from its ongoing Phase III exploration program at its Volcan Gold Project centrally located in Chile's Maricunga Gold Belt. The drill results (tabled below and attached), which include 586 metres grading 0.99 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") and 246 metres grading 1.29 g/t Au, continue to demonstrate the potential for the discovery of addition gold mineralization in the Dorado area and, in particular, within and along strike of the West Zone deposit.
The current results from the West Zone infill drilling campaign successfully confirm and locally increase the dimensions of the breccia-hosted gold mineralization between sections 200 and 700 (the limits of the September 18, 2006 resource estimate) as well as defining the down dip extension of the mineralization from surface to depths in excess of 300 metres. Further, drilling along strike of the West Zone has extended the gold mineralization an additional 450 metres north of section 700 and the deposit continues to remains open to the north.
