Andean American Gold Corp. ("Andean" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:AAG)(FRANKFURT:AQN) reports that for the three months ended June 30,
2012, it has recorded a net loss US$13,610,824 or US$0.09 per share compared to
a net loss of US$7,568 or US$0.00 per share for the same period in 2011. This
was mainly due to a write-off of exploration properties of $19,185,013 for the
three month ended June 30, 2012 which is as a result of the anticipated closing
of the transaction with Lupaka mentioned below. Andean ended the quarter with a
cash position of US$14,612,605 and a working capital surplus of US$13,029,640.
In November 2011, the Company announced that it had retained Paradigm Capital
Inc., as its financial advisor to conduct an analysis of the strategic
alternatives available to the Company, and on July 5, 2012, the Company and
Lupaka Gold Corporation ("Lupaka") announced the signing of a binding Letter of
Intent that provides for a combination of the two companies (the "Business
Combination") to create a new Peru-focused gold exploration and development
company. Under the terms of the Business Combination, Andean American
shareholders will receive 0.245 shares of Lupaka for each share of Andean
American owned, resulting in the shareholders of Andean American owning 45.27%
of Lupaka upon the completion of the Business Combination. The meeting of
shareholders is planned for September 21, 2012 to approve the transaction.
