VANCOUVER, B.C., Aug. 28, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- On July 31, Andean American Mining Corp. (CDNX:AAG) disclosed that the Pilot Plant at the Santa Rosa Project was now fully operational and producing. In an effort to assure proper shareholder and market understanding of the significance of this key event in Andean's history, the management is hosting a North American conference call in conjunction with The Resource Stock Watch newsletter.
As is the standard format, Andean management will make opening comments and will then open the lines for questions. A transcript of the call as well as audio CDs will be made available to all interested parties. To take part in the call, please dial Toll Free, 1-800-346-7359. Those dialing in from outside North America may call 1-973-528-0008. The call will be held at 2 p.m., EST, on Thursday, August 30, 2001.
As management noted in the July 31 release, "very few Exploration and Development companies ever get to production in their corporate lives." This is indeed the case and to achieve production in the present gold market is a significant event.
All interested parties are strongly encouraged to take part in what promises to be a very informative call. If you are new to the Andean story, this is an excellent opportunity to meet the management team and to ask questions of them.
