("the Company" or "AndeanGold") (TSX VENTURE:AAU)(LMA:AAU) is pleased to announce that the Company has closed (the "Closing') the second tranche of its previously announced $1 million non-brokered private placement (the "Placement") (news releases of February 24, 2014 and March 25, 2014). The first tranche of the Placement closed on February 28, 2014, and involved the issuance of an aggregate of 11,796,000 Units to raise aggregate gross proceeds of $589,800 (see news release of February 28, 2014).

Under the Placement, the Company has issued to date an aggregate of 13,807,643 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit to raise aggregate gross proceeds of $690,382.15. Each Unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant.

The Company anticipates that additional tranche closings of the Placement will take place in April 2014.

In accordance with securities legislation currently in effect in Canada, the shares and share purchase warrants will be subject to a "hold period" of four months plus one day from the Closing of each tranche.

The Company will pay finders' fees with respect to the tranche offerings to date in the aggregate amount of $46,226.74 and 924,535 warrants, each such warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional share of the Company at a price of $0.07 for a period of eighteen months from the Closing of each tranche.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used principally to fund option payments and to initiate work on the Company's plan to develop a small-scale mine on the Urumalqui Project in Peru, and for general working capital purposes.

About AndeanGold Ltd:

AndeanGold Ltd. is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and potential development of primarily precious metals properties, principally in Peru and Ecuador. The focus of the Company's exploration activities is presently in advancing its Urumalqui Project, as well as pursuing mineral property acquisitions, in Peru. In Ecuador, the Company's activities have been limited to administrative and legal matters due to the Mining Mandate issued by the Ecuador Constituent Assembly on April 18, 2008. In November 2009, President Correa signed the Mining Regulations into law pursuant to the requirements of the new Mines Law, which was passed in January 2009. This was the final legal precursor to the re-initiation of exploration and mining development in Ecuador. The Company has been issued new mining titles under the new Mines law to its three key Ecuadorian projects and has filed the requisite documents with the Ministry of Non-Renewable Natural Resources and Ministry of Environment ("MRNNR") in support of the Company's request to renew exploration programs on its key projects in Ecuador. In September 2012, the Company received authorization from the MRNNR to renew exploration programs on its Curiplaya Project.
