SEPTEMBER 13th, 2006, VANCOUVER, B.C. – ANDOVER VENTURES INC. (the “Company”) (AOX-TSX:V) is pleased to provide the following updates on its work programs currently underway in Alaska.

Work has commenced on the recently acquired KUY Property (see August 24,2006 news release), located 8 km to the west of the Kamishak Property. Two 1.5 mi (2.4km) Induced Polarization lines have been completed over a gold-bearing breccia pipe target (historic grab samples assay up to 71 g/t gold). A large IP anomaly was detected. The KUY Property is an epithermal gold-silver target, is located southwest of the village of Kokhanok in rocks of the Talkeetna Arc. These samples are historic in nature, have not been verified by Andover Ventures and should not be relied upon.

At the Kamishak Property that Andover is jointly exploring with Full Metal Minerals (FMM – TSXV), it was decided to expand the work program and drilling is now complete. A five hole, 2925 foot (892m) core drilling program has now been completed. The drill holes confirmed the presence of porphyry style copper-gold mineralization and alteration. Historic drilling encountered wide zones of mineralization up to 75 meters containing >0.35% Cu and >1 g/t Au plus narrower zones of >1% Cu and 12 g/t Au. Surface grab samples taken in 2004 & 5 assayed up to 14 g/t Au and 0.3% Cu.

A total of 502 NQ core samples were collected for gold and multi-element geochemistry. Core Samples were sawed, with one-half placed in plastic bags, and shipped to the ALS-Chemex Laboratories facility in Fairbanks, Alaska. A Quality Assurance/Quality Control program is in place and blanks or standards were inserted nominally every 10 samples (`15m). Assays are pending.

The qualified person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, for both these projects is consulting geologist and Andover director Dr. David Hedderly-Smith, PhD, CPG.

Andover Ventures, with its experienced management team, is committed to increasing shareholder value by acquiring and exploring quality mineral properties in Alaska.
