DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OVERVIEW

First Andes is an exploration stage company that has a 100% interest in the high-grade Santas Gloria silver property. On April 18, 2024, the Company changed its name from Mantaro Precious Metals Corp. to First Andes Silver Ltd. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "FAS.V", the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "9TZ" and are quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol "MSLVF". The Company's head and registered and records office is located at Suite 704, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2T5.

The Company has not commenced commercial operations. At present, the Company has no current operating income. Without additional financing, the Company may not be able to fund its ongoing operations and complete its exploration and development activities. The Company intends to finance its future requirements through a combination of debt and/or equity issuance. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financings or obtain them on favourable terms. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise sufficient working capital to maintain operations.

Santas Gloria Silver Property

The Santas Gloria silver property is 100% owned by the Company. It comprises three mineral concessions totaling 1,100 hectares and is located 55 kilometers east of Lima. Santas Gloria is a silver-base metal vein system otherwise known as Cordilleran silver-base metal type. These deposits have many similarities to intermediate sulphidation vein systems. Such deposits are attractive exploration targets due to their often high-grade nature and the large vertical extent of precious and base metal endowment.


Silver is the main target commodity at Santas Gloria. Historical surface sampling reported grades of over 400 oz/t silver. Combined lead and zinc values range from 2% to 20% in the high-grade silver zones. Information derived from report on Santas Gloria Mining Project by Dr. Alberto Rios Carranza (2020). There are over 10 kilometers (cumulative strike length) of major intermediate sulphidation veins and to date the Company has identified at least four key target zones. The system has never been drilled and historical exploitation of silver was limited to two areas of the San Jorge and Tembladera veins.

Historical production of silver has been carried out on Santas Gloria since colonial times. To date, an estimated four kilometers of underground workings have exploited 2 of the 22 veins at Santas Gloria. In 2005 and 2006, the San Jorge and Tembladera veins were worked on six levels. A small processing plant at site produced silver concentrates with reported silver recoveries of 85%-90%. Information derived from report on Santas Gloria Mining Project by Dr. Alberto Rios Carranza (2020).

An extensive mapping and channel sampling program at Santas Gloria was undertaken in 2021. Channel samples taken in oxidized outcrop defined a number of significantly silver and gold anomalous intermediate sulphidation veins which are up to 5 metres wide, multiphase, and have strike extensions in excess of 1 km. There are over 12 strike km of untested veins at Santas Gloria. Channel sampling of sulphide material in historical adits returned robust assays of up to >10,000 g/t silver, 56.3 g/t gold, 10.3% lead and 9.07% zinc (see news release dated June 2, 2021).

Metallurgical test work of sulphide samples taken from underground adits supports both bulk flotation flow-path and sequential flotation flow-path, with the bulk flotation flow-path producing a single gold, silver, lead and zinc rougher concentrate (15 minutes of flotation and 8.6% mass pull) with 10,545 g/t silver, 5.38 g/t gold, 5.17% zinc and 13.8% lead and recovering 88.1% of the silver, 80.9% of the gold, 64.4% of the zinc and 79.3% of the lead (see news release dated August 9, 2021).

The Company has undertaken extensive permitting and community work at the Santas Gloria silver property. A community access agreement is in place until 2028.

In November 2022, the Company announced receipt of an Autorizacion de Inicio de Actividades ("AIA") for the Santas Glorias silver property. The AIA permits the construction of up to 20 drill pads in order to target numerous high-grade silver and gold veins at the property. Accordingly, the Santas Glorias property is now permitted for drilling. The Company's technical team carried out a comprehensive permitting process on Santas Gloria that included, among other things, three archeological certificates (CIRA), approval of the environmental application (Ficha Tecnica Ambiental), water permits and the AIA.

On May 9, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a drill contract for its maiden drill program at the Santas Gloria Silver Property. Refer to the news release for additional details on the drill program and the property.

On July 29, 2024 the Company announced that it had received authorization from the Ministry of Mines (Peru) to commence its permitted drill program at the Santas Gloria silver property. It had mobilized the drill rig on August 3, 2024 and had started its drilling on August 5, 2024. For further information related to the drilling program, refer to the news release.

On October 11, 2024, the Company announced that it had completed its maiden diamond drill program. 12 diamond drill holes were complete for a total of 1175.3 meters at the Tembladera, San Jorge, Paquita and Maribel vein systems. Drilling successfully intercepted silver bearing intermediate sulphidation epithermal veins. For further information related to the drilling program, refer to the news release.

On October 29, 2024, the Company announced multiple high-grade silver assays from its maiden drill program. For further information related to the results, refer to the news release. Significant silver assay results included:

6


  • 7.43m at 224 g/t AgEq (193 g/t Ag, 0.34% Pb, 0.3% Zn, 0.05 g/t Au) from 86.70m including 0.95m at 754 g/t AgEq (701 g/t Ag, 1.07% Pb, 0.62% Zn, 0.08 g/t Au) and 1.23m at 387 g/t AgEq (356 g/t Ag, 0.34% Pb, 0.39% Zn, 0.12 g/t Au) (San Jorge vein system)
  • 3.10m at 155 g/t AgEq (138 g/t Ag, 0.18% Pb, 0.17% Zn, 0.08 g/t Au) from 47.30m (San Jorge vein system)
  • 6.40m at 108 g/t AgEq (70 g/t Ag, 0.40% Pb, 0.78% Zn, 0.05 g/t Au) from 138.8m including 2.26m at 162m AgEq (103 g/t ag, 0.59% Pb, 1.34% Zn, 0.03 g/t Au) (San Jorge vein system)
  • 4.40m at 134 g/t AgEq (80 g/t Ag, 0.16% Pb, 0.34% Zn, 0.44 g/t Au) from 42.70m (Maribel vein system)
  • 3.30m at 110 g/t AgEq (65 g/t Ag, 0.15% Pb, 0.43% Zn, 0.31 g/t Au) from 35.40m including 0.48 m at 391 g/t AgEq (310 g/t Ag, 0.02% Pb, 0.02% Zn, 0.89 g/t Au) (Paquita vein system)
  • 0.87m at 131 g/t AgEq (72.4 g/t Ag, 0.71% Pb, 1.19% Zn, 0.05 g/t Au) from 115.30m including 0.42m at 224.3 g/t AgEq (127 g/t Ag, 1.25% Pb, 2.0% Zn, 0.04 g/t Au)

(see news release dated October 29, 2024 for additional details)

On June 9, 2025, the Company announced that mobilization had commenced for the upcoming 2,000-meter diamond drilling program. The 2025 drill program would follow up on the strong results of the 2024 drilling campaign. For more details refer to the May 23, 2025 and October 29, 2024 news release.

On June 18, 2025, the Company announced that drilling had commenced at the San Jorge Vein. A total of 11 holes were planned for drilling. Each hole was estimated to be drilled with an average of 183 meters and was estimated to total to 2,015 meters. The 2,000-meter drilling program was estimated to be completed within five weeks. The first batch of assay results was expected in four to five weeks.

On August 5, 2025, the Company announced an update on the 2,000-meter diamond drill program at the San Jorge vein system. The recent drilling had intersected multiple additional sulphide-bearing epithermal zones at the vein system which supported the presence of a structurally controlled silver-polymetallic system at depth. Significant findings for each hole drilled are as follows:

  • Hole SG023: Intercepted a hydrothermal breccia zone from 145.25 to 174.80 m (29.55 m) characterized by silicification, argillic alteration, and sulphide mineralization. A 2.40-m-wide zone from 172.00 m hosted massive sulphides (pyrite, galena, and sphalerite);
  • Hole SG020: Returned a 27.60-m interval (133.00 to 160.60 m) characterized by strong oxidation, sericite-clay alteration, and sulphides hosted in breccia and dacite. Structurally controlled sulphide veinlets and breccias suggest epithermal continuity at depth;
  • Hole SG021: Intersected 13.80 m (93.40 to 107.20 m) of brecciated and fractured rock with pyrite and galena mineralization. Several zones recorded elevated sulphide concentrations, supporting a well-preserved sulphidic system;
  • Hole SG018: Intersected a broad hydrothermal breccia zone from 85.65 to 114.20 m (28.55 m), with quartz veinlets, silicified clasts, and disseminated sulphides (pyrite-dominant). The drill hole crossed an historic underground working between 105.20 and 108.90 meters, interpreted to correspond to the main mineralized structure;
  • Hole SG019: Cut 33.60 meters (80.00 to 113.60 m) of hydrothermally altered rock, including quartz stockworks and breccias with disseminated pyrite, sphalerite, and galena. A historical mine void was intersected at 110.90 m, confirming legacy workings along the mineralized corridor, and;
  • Hole SG022: Encountered mineralized breccias and oxidized dacite from 91.10 to 98.70 m (7.60 m) characterized by manganese oxide minerals ("MnOx") and pyrite.

On September 16, 2025, the Company announced the final result of the 2,000-meter drill program at the Santas Gloria silver property. Assays from the final San Jorge Vein continued to deliver strong silver and base metal grades. Significant precious and base metal intercepts in 11 of 14 holes drilled support the case for permitting additional drill pads. Below are the results of the remaining drill holes:


  • Hole SG027 - 167.1 g/t AgEq (152.9 g/t Ag, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.13% Pb, 0.19% Zn) over 4.80 m from 89.0 m, incl 276.9 g/t AgEq (252.2 g/t Ag, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.29% Pb, 0.35% Zn) over 0.60 m from 91.40 m;
  • Hole SG024 - 238.8 g/t AgEq (190.5 g/t Ag, 0.08 g/t Au, 0.65% Pb, 0.77% Zn) over 1.90 m from 231.70 m, incl. 596.6 g/t AgEq (493.8 g/t Ag, 0.14 g/t Au, 0.19% Pb, 1.41% Zn) over 0.50 m from 231.7 m;
  • Hole SG023 - 222.6 g/t AgEq (159.9 g/t Ag, 0.22 g/t Au, 0.42% Pb, 0.97% Zn) over 1.70 m from 172.00 m, incl. 410.3 g/t AgEq (325.6 g/t Ag, 0.31 g/t Au, 0.73% Pb, 1.20% Zn) over 0.50 m from 172.00 m, and;
  • Hole SG026 - 121.3 g/t AgEq (107.0 g/t Ag, 0.04 g/t Au, 0.17% Pb, 0.20% Zn) over 2.70 m from 76.10 m, incl. 239.8 g/t AgEq (214.5 g/t Ag, 0.04 g/t Au, 0.31% Pb, 0.42% Zn) over 0.70 m from 76.90 m, and 226.3 g/t AgEq (210.3 g/t Ag, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.14% Pb, 0.24% Zn) over 0.80 m from 86.80 m.

The final set of assays from San Jorge continues to validate the strength of this system, with multiple holes returning robust silver and base metal grades within a deeply oxidized horizon. Importantly, the consistency of mineralization across 11 of 14 holes confirms we are in the upper levels of a classic intermediate-sulphidation epithermal system, pointing to significant depth potential and providing key vectors for future drilling. In Peru, intermediate-sulphidation systems are known to extend vertically for several hundred meters, often 300 to 800 m or more, meaning that what we are seeing could represent only the top of a much larger preserved sulphide-rich system at depth.

Peru's mining law provides a clear and efficient framework for exploration permitting, though one important limitation is that drill programs must be completed from pre-approved pads, without the flexibility to adjust collar locations once drilling is underway. At Santas Gloria, this meant the Company was required to continue drilling from pads positioned south of the San Jorge Vein, even after geological modeling indicated the vein rolled northward at depth. While this restricted the ability to fully test deeper sulphide targets from the existing pads, the upcoming phase of drilling, subject to available financing, will establish new collars located further to the north and/or south, depending on modeled vein orientations. From these pads, the Company will be able to complete angled holes designed to pierce the San Jorge Vein beneath the oxidized horizon and directly evaluate the preserved sulphide zones at depth.

The Company also plans to drill, subject to available financing, the high-grade silver-base metal Tembladera Vein, high-grade gold-silver-base metal Kelly Vein (undrilled), and additional untested epithermal systems property-wide.

For further information on the final result of the 2,000-meter drilling program and future proposed drilling activities, click here to view.

The Company was required to incur a total of US$1,000,000 by June 30, 2023 on the Santas Gloria Property. In June and August 2023, the Company paid US$20,000 ($26,754), to extend the exploration expenditures date from June 2023 to December 31, 2023. In November 2023, the Company paid US$30,000 ($41,134) to extend the exploration expenditure date from December 31, 2023 to November 30, 2024. By November 30, 2024, the Company completed the US $1,000,000 exploration expenditures commitment. The Company will also pay a one-time discovery bonus of US$1,000,000 upon announcement of a resource estimate of 10,000,000 ounces silver equivalent.

Trends

There are significant uncertainties regarding the prices of precious and base metals and the availability of equity financing for the purposes of mineral exploration and development. For instance, the prices of gold, silver and other minerals have fluctuated widely in recent years and wide fluctuations may continue. Management is not aware of any trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

On February 28, 2025, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement financing raising gross proceeds of $1,065,000.

On July 16, 2025, the Company closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement financing raising gross proceeds of $1,017,000. On July 29, 2025, the Company closed the second tranche of a non-brokered private placement financing raising gross proceeds of $300,000. The proceeds of the financing are planned to be used to expand and complete the Company's drilling program at the Santas Gloria Silver Property and for general working capital purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements.

As at August 31, 2025, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had an accumulated deficit of $14,421,657 since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. As at August 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $345,527. The above factors form a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company has no long-term debt.

At present, the Company has no current operating income. Without additional future financing, the Company may not be able to fund its ongoing operations and complete future exploration and development activities. The Company intends to finance its future requirements through a combination of debt and/or equity issuance. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financings or obtain them on favourable terms. These uncertainties cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise sufficient working capital to maintain operations. During the six months ended August 31, 2025, the Company completed private placements raising gross proceeds of $1,317,000.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

During the six months ended August 31, 2025, the following financings were completed:

  • On July 16, 2025, the Company completed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement of 10,170,000 units at $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,170,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder therefore to acquire one common share at a price of $0.15 per share up to July 16, 2027.

  • On July 29, 2025, the Company completed the second and final tranche of a non-brokered private placement of 3,000,000 units at $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $300,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder therefore to acquire one common share at a price of $0.15 per share up to July 29, 2027.

In connection with the private placement, the Company paid finder's fees in cash totaling $47,950 and issued 479,500 finders' warrants exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of two years from the dates of issue.

  • 245,000 finders' warrants at an exercise price of $0.05 expiring March 28, 2026 were exercised for gross proceeds of $12,250.

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial assets and financial liabilities are classified and measured as follows:

Financial Instrument Category
Cash Fair value through profit or loss
Accounts receivable Amortized cost
Accounts payable and other liabilities Amortized cost

The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Discussions of risks associated with financial assets and liabilities are detailed below:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk for the Company is associated with its cash. The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk as its cash is placed with a major Canadian financial institution.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company's ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of minerals under exploration.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they are due. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalent balances to enable settlement of transactions on the due date. Management monitors the Company's contractual obligations and other expenses to attempt to ensure adequate liquidity is maintained. Refer to the liquidity and capital resources section of this MD&A for additional disclosures. As at August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, the Company had working capital as follows:

August 31, 2025 February 28, 2025
$ $
Current assets 869,991 949,744
Current liabilities (524,464) (880,379)
Working capital surplus 345,527 69,365

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk.

a) Currency Risk

As at August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, most of the Company's cash was held in Canadian dollars, the Company's functional currency. The Company has operations in foreign jurisdictions outside of Canada and as such has currency risk associated with its operations. The Company mitigates this risk by holding a small amount of cash in foreign currencies.

b) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As the Company has no interest bearing financial instruments, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.

c) Price Risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company has no financial instruments subject to price risk.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

In connection with National Instrument 52-109 (Certificate of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings) ("NI 52-109"), the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have filed a Venture Issuer Basic Certificate with respect to the financial information contained in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended August 31, 2025 and this accompanying MD&A (together, the "Interim Filings").

In contrast to the full certificate under NI 52-109, the Venture Issuer Basic Certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, as defined in NI 52-109. For further information the reader should refer to the Venture Issuer Basic Certificates filed by the Company with the Interim Filings on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The exploration and development of mineral deposits involves significant risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not be successful in overcoming. Few mineral properties which are explored ultimately develop into producing mines. There has been no commercial production of minerals by the Company to date and there is a high degree of risk that commercial production of minerals will not be achieved.

Locating mineral deposits depends on a number of factors, not the least of which is the technical skill of the exploration personnel involved. The mining industry is intensely competitive. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit depends on a number of factors including the particular attributes of the deposits (principally size and grade), proximity to infrastructure, the impact of mine development on the environment, environmental regulations imposed by various levels of government and the competitive nature of the industry which causes mineral prices to fluctuate substantially over short periods of time. There can be no assurance that the minerals can be marketed profitably or in such a manner as to provide an adequate return on invested capital.


The operations of the Company are subject to all of the risks normally associated with the operation and development of mineral properties and the development of a mine, including encountering unexpected formations or pressures, caving, flooding, fires and other hazards, all of which could result in personal injuries, loss of life and damage to property of the Company and others. In accordance with customary industry practice, the Company is not fully insured against all of these risks, nor are all such risks insurable.

The operations of the Company's properties will be subject to various laws and regulations relating to the environment, prospecting, development, production, waste disposal and other matters. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing activities related to the Company's mineral properties may have material adverse impact on operations.

The Company will need additional funding to complete its long term objectives. The ability of the Company to raise such financing in the future will depend on the prevailing market conditions, competition with other strategic metals exploration stage companies, as well as the business performance of the Company. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional financing on terms satisfactory to the Company. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of opportunities, to develop new projects or to otherwise respond to competitive pressures.

The Company's working capital and liquidity fluctuate in proportion to its ongoing equity financing activities. The Company requires a certain amount of liquid capital in order to sustain its operations and in order to meet various obligations as specified under its resource property acquisition agreements. Should the Company fail to obtain future equity financing due to reasons as described above, it will not be able to meet these obligations and may lose its interests in the properties covered by the agreements. Further, should the Company be unable to obtain sufficient equity financing for working capital, it may be unable to meet its ongoing operational commitments.

All industries, including the mining industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. The Company may become involved in legal disputes in the future. Defense and settlement costs can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, there can be no assurance that the solution of any particular legal proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

All of the Company's mineral properties are in the exploration stage. Exploration and development of natural resources involve substantial expenditures and a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. Accordingly, the Company has no material revenue, writes off its mineral properties from time to time, and operates at a loss. Continued operations are dependent upon ongoing equity financing activities.
