Buying Ore vs. Tolling: Business Model Difference

Most mining companies depend on luck and high metal prices. Andean Precious Metals rewrote the playbook, turning a near-dead Bolivian silver mine into a thriving, cash-flow machine. In this in-depth interview, CEO Alberto Morales joins Trey Reik at the Wealthion–SCP Global Silver Conference to explain how Andean’s innovative model, buying and processing third-party ore instead of relying on its own depleting reserves, keeps the company profitable in any market. With over $87 million in liquidity, zero debt, and operations in both Bolivia and California, Andean stands out as a mining firm that combines stability, growth, and strong free cash flow.

You’ll learn how the company:

• Re-engineered a traditional mine into an industrial processing hub
• Built steady profitability through a unique strategy
• Reduced political risk by expanding into North America
• Revitalized the historic California Golden Queen mine with new exploration ahead
• Strengthened its balance sheet through disciplined cash-flow management
