                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (U.S. Dollars-Unaudited)

1.   Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Minera Andes Inc. (the
"Corporation") for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 and for the period from commencement (July 1, 1994) through June 30, 2000
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in Canada which differ in certain respects from principles and practices
generally accepted in the United States, as described in Note 2. Also, they are
unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results which may be achieved in the
future. The December 31, 1999 financial information has been derived from the
Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1999. The accounting policies set forth in the audited annual
consolidated financial statements are the same as the accounting policies
utilized in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, except
as modified for appropriate interim presentation.

2.   Differences Between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted
     Accounting Principles

Differences between Canadian and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") as they pertain to the Corporation relate to accounting for share issue
costs, loss per share, non-cash issuance of common shares, the acquisition of
Scotia Prime Minerals, Incorporated, compensation expense associated with the
release of shares from escrow, mineral properties and deferred exploration costs
and stock-based compensation and are described in Note 13 to the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999.

3.   Changes to Share Capital

On January 31, 2000, the Corporation raised gross proceeds of Cdn$1,496,365
(US$1,032,973) through a unit offering by way of a Canadian offering with the
issuance of 5,985,460 units at a price of Cdn$0.25 per unit. Each unit comprised
one common share and one common share purchase warrant, which entitles the
holder to purchase one further common share at an exercise price of Cdn$0.35 on
or before January 31, 2001. In connection with the financing, the Corporation
paid 7.5 percent commission on the gross proceeds and issued 191,418 common
shares as additional commission.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Corporation issued 90,000 shares for the
exercise of stock options and received proceeds of Cdn$49,500 (US$34,110).

4.   Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing loss applicable to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. Due
to the losses in 2000 and 1999, potentially dilutive securities were excluded
from the calculation of diluted EPS, as they were anti-dilutive. Therefore,
there was no difference in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS in 2000 and
1999.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
-----------------------------------------
The information in this report includes "forward-looking" statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), and is subject to the safe harbor
created by those sections. Factors that could cause results to differ materially
from those projected include, but are not limited to, results of current
exploration activities, the market price of precious and base metals, the
availability of joint venture partners or sources of financing, and other risk
factors detailed in the Corporation=s Securities and Exchange Commission
filings.

Overview
--------
The principal business of the Corporation is the exploration and development of
mineral properties, located primarily in the Republic of Argentina, consisting
of mineral rights and applications for mineral rights, covering approximately
175,536 hectares in three provinces in Argentina. The Corporation also holds a
license and an application-in-process for an exploration license in Colombia
totaling approximately 9,539 hectares and exploration licenses in Romania
totaling approximately 23,000 hectares. The lands comprise option-to-purchase
contracts, exploration and mining agreements and direct interests through the
Corporation's filings for exploration concessions. The Corporation carries out
its business by acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties through
its ongoing exploration program. Following exploration, the Corporation either
seeks to enter joint ventures to further develop these properties or disposes of
them if the properties do not meet the Corporation's requirements. The
Corporation's properties are all early stage exploration properties and no
proven or probable reserves have been identified.

Plan of Operations
------------------
The Corporation has working capital of $0.3 million which will be sufficient to
cover its budgeted expenditures for mineral property and exploration activities
on its properties in Argentina, Colombia and Romania and general and
administrative expenses through the end of 2000.  During the last six months,
the Corporation closed the remaining portion of the prospectus offering for $1.0
million (Cdn$1.5 million) through the issuance of 5,985,460 units at a price of
Cdn$0.25 per unit.  Completion of this offering included an exercised over-
allotment option of Cdn$300,000.  The closing was the second and final closing
under a prospectus dated November 29, 1999.  The total prospectus raised Cdn$2.3
million.

Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant.
One common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional
common share at Cdn$0.35 per share on or before January 31, 2001.  Canaccord
Capital Corporation was the agent for the offering, and received a 7.5  percent
commission of the gross proceeds, and common shares equal to approximately 4
percent of the units sold, in lieu of the agent's option.

The Corporation has budgeted and plans to spend approximately $0.3 million on
its mineral property and exploration activities and general and administrative
expenses for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2000, with most
properties being kept on care and maintenance.  Because the Corporation's
existing funds will only be sufficient to finance these activities through the
end of 2000, the Corporation will need to raise additional funding during the
next six months in order to continue its operations over the longer term. If
additional funds are raised during 2000, through the exercise of warrants or
options, through a further equity financing, by the sale of property interests
or by joint venture financing, additional exploration could be planned and
carried out on the Corporation's properties over the northern hemisphere fall in
Romania, and beginning before year-end for the Latin American projects.  If the
Corporation were to develop a property or

                                       9
<PAGE>

a group of properties beyond the exploration stage, substantial additional
financing would be necessary. Such financing would likely be in the form of
equity, debt, or a combination of equity and debt. The Corporation is working on
various plans to obtain such financing but there is no assurance that such
financing will be available to the Corporation on favorable terms.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Second quarter 2000 compared with second quarter 1999

The Corporation had a net loss of $174,000 ($0.01 per share) for the second
quarter of 2000, compared with a net loss of $213,000 ($0.01 per share) for the
second quarter of 1999, as the Corporation continued to cut costs wherever
possible. Total mineral property and deferred exploration costs were $207,000
during the second quarter of 2000, compared with $469,000 spent in the second
quarter of 1999.  There were exploration drilling programs in both periods, but
the Corporation was able to realize some savings in a number of property
exploration cost areas.

Six months ended June 30, 2000 compared with the six months ended June 30, 1999

The Corporation had a net loss of $364,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000, compared with a net loss of  $514,000 for the comparable period in 1999.
Total mineral property and deferred exploration costs for the six months were
$579,000 in 2000 and $900,000 in the comparable period of 1999.  Expenditures in
both years were focused on the El Pluma/Cerro Saavedra property.  Deferred
expenditures related to mineral properties and exploration were $4,202,000 at
June 30, 2000, compared with  $4,165,000 at June 30, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Due to the nature of the mining industry, the acquisition, exploration and
development of mineral properties requires significant expenditures prior to the
commencement of production.  To date, the Corporation has financed its
activities through the sale of equity securities and joint venture arrangements.
The Corporation expects to use similar financing techniques in the future.
However, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be successful with
such financings. See "Plan of Operations".

At June 30, 2000, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $494,000,
compared to $556,000 at June 30, 1999.  Working capital at June 30, 2000 was
$307,000.  The Corporation's operating activities showed some savings and used
$383,000 for the first six months of 2000, compared with $436,000 in 1999.
Investing activities were $570,000 in the 2000 period compared with $876,000 in
1999. The focus in both periods was on the El Pluma/Cerro Saavedra property.
Cash and cash equivalents increased  in the first six months of 2000 by $10,000
compared to a decrease of $1,314,000 in the same period in 1999.

The Corporation's ability to continue in operation is dependent on its ability
to secure additional financing, and while it has been successful in doing so in
the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.
Management is actively pursuing such additional sources of financing; however,
in the event this does not occur, there is doubt about the ability of the
Corporation to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be
necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern.
