Geography . Property Update Winicocha The 8,500 hectare Winicocha Copper-Gold-Molybdenum Project is located in the department of Cusco in southern Peru and is Andresmin's flagship project. Andresmin's new wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock. Notes: In other words, the parent company owns the company outright and there are no minority owners. , Grupo, acquired its 100% interest in Winicocha from Centromin, the government agency responsible for vending some of Peru's most select mineral properties, including the $2.3 billion Noranda-BHP-Teck-Cominco joint venture Antamina copper-zinc mine, now one of the world's largest, Barrick's 7.3 million ounce Alto Chicama gold project, and BHP's $8.5 billion Tintaya copper deposit -- just 80 kilometres away and along strike. Winicocha has produced gold since the days of Spanish Conquistadores, who first discovered and mined visible high-grade mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure.

Centromin, Winicocha hosts an inferred resource of 1.4 million ounces of gold at surface, and the resource remains open for expansion in all directions, including depth. Andresmin's initial exploration program was designed to outline priority drill targets, and proved highly successful. The program included geological mapping, channel and chip sampling, geochemistry, and geophysical surveys on a 1,000 hectare area. Thus far, the geochemical program has identified 19 vein systems traced over 2,000 meters. Assays previously completed by Centromin range to 21 grams per tonne gold and 75 grams per tonne silver, and the mineralization remains open for expansion along strike.

The host rocks, alteration, vein stockworking, and mineralization are similar to those found in the largest porphyries throughout the Central Andes and the world. Furthermore, surface sampling has identified a massive geochemical anomaly overlapping geophysical and geological targets. Assay grades range to 1.0% copper and 5.0 grams per tonne gold. In the southwest, the anomaly coincides with the 2,500 meter long by 300 meter wide zone of quartz vein stockworking with gold grades ranging to 2.5 grams per tonne. The large footprint indicated by geochemistry and geophysics suggests the presence of a much larger underlying system. This indicates the presence of a large ore body with high electrical conductivity suggesting the presence of gold, copper, and other conductive metals. Over 85% of the Winicocha project area remains completely untested. Winicocha has excellent potential to be Peru's next copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry discovery. Since the Company acquired the Winicocha project the surrounding area has seen a significant increase in exploration activity, including several adjacent projects being drill tested by major mining companies. Data is currently being analyzed and targets prioritized for a Phase I diamond drilling Diamond Drilling is a highly specialized industry used for mineral exploration around the world. Most commonly using wireline and core bits with diamond encrusted matrix. To drill holes to max depths of twelve thousand feet, for the recovery of core used in verifying mineral program which is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2005. Huarangayoc & Pira The Huarangayoc and Pira projects each have excellent potential for major world class silver-lead-zinc polymetallic mineral discoveries. Andresmin recently acquired 100% interests in both Huarangayoc and Pira from Centromin, the government agency previously referred to. The Huarangayoc and Pira projects are located in the highly prolific Cordillera Negra The Cordillera Negra (Black Range) is part of the Cordillera Oriental, one of three mountain ranges in the Andes Mountains of west central Peru. Size Cordillera Negra in the Ancash department of central Peru. The Cordillera Negra spans 200 kilometers and is the second richest silver-lead producing belt in the world. Roughly 90% of Peru's annual silver production comes from this belt and a number of major mining companies are active in the area including BHP Billiton BHP Billiton is the world's largest mining company.[1] Its origin is in the 2001 merger of Australia's Broken Hill Proprietary Company (BHP) and the UK's Billiton, which has a South African background. The result is a dual-listed company. , Pan American Silver, Glencore, Noranda, Mitsubishi, and Teck-Cominco.

Property Acquisition Clavella 2 Andresmin recently acquired the rights to the 232 hectare Clavella 2 property, which lies within the northern boundaries of the Company's 8,500 hectare Winicocha Copper-Gold project. Clavella 2 was the site of previous exploration focused on gold mineralization associated with large disseminated stockwork zones. Recent work by the Company has returned surface samples returning between 0.25% to greater than 1.0% copper, with a further 10 samples returning 0.10% to 0.25% copper, and associated anomalous molybdenum molybdenum (məlĭb`dənəm) [Gr.,=leadlike], metallic chemical element; symbol Mo; at. no. 42; at. wt. 95.94; m.p. about 2,617°C;; b.p. about 4,612°C;; sp. gr. 10.22 at 20°C;; valence +2, +3, +4, +5, or +6. values in 4 samples ranging from 60 to 150 parts per million parts per million mg/kg or ml/l; see ppm. . In addition, sampling by the Company returned 6 samples ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 grams per ton gold over the property. Recent geophysical surveys by Andresmin were completed over the southern third of the Clavella 2 property, with several anomalies indicated. A large strong magnitude, chargeability Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly was indicated and is co-incident with the anomalous gold, copper and molybdenum values indicated above. This structure is only partially defined, and is open to the north. The presence of these anomalous copper gold and molybdenum values coincident with a strong IP anomaly is indicative of the large-tonnage porphyry deposits typical in this mineral belt. A further work program consisting of additional geophysics will be conducted, followed by diamond drilling in early 2005 to test these results. Corporate Advances Over the past 6 months Andresmin has completed two financings. The first was completed on July 15, and raised USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar.
