Andes Gold Corporation has begun the start up process of another mill in Ecuador. This mill has a flotation system which will increase the production capacity of the mill to 100 tons of ore per day. This mill is designed to produce copper as well as gold.

It is one of the few mills in the area that can process copper. The majority of ore processed will be under contract with independent operators. This mill is expected to be operational at full capacity by the end of October, 2013.

This will result in a significant increase in cash flow in the last fiscal quarter of 2013.
