ADM Andina Minerals Inc.

Andina Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ADM) has filed its unaudited financial statements and MD&A for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 ended September 30, 2010 on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

"Since our 2009 preliminary base case heap leach scenario was announced, our development team has made excellent progress on advancing engineering and metallurgical testing for the Volcan Gold Project ("Volcan")." said George Bee, President and CEO. "This work has allowed us to develop a conceptual design that utilizes High Pressure Grind Roll ("HPGR") techniques to feed a small mill with high grade ore, while delivering low grade ore directly to a leach pad. As a result of our greater technical understanding we now plan to publish a pre-feasibility study for Volcan in Q1 2011."

Highlights from the Q3 report include:

--  2010 Resource Update for the Dorado deposits of Volcan. The Company
    reported measured and indicate mineral resources of 389.6 million tonnes
    at an average grade of 0.71 grams per tonne gold for 8.878 million
    ounces of contained gold plus inferred resources of 41.6 million tonnes
    at an average grade of 0.50 grams per tonne gold for 0.671 million
    ounces of contained gold;

--  The Company reported target parameters for the Initial Phase 1
    Development Plan for Volcan based on both heap leaching of lower grade
    ores and milling of higher grade ores:
