Vancouver B.C. - Animas Resources Ltd. ("Animas" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it plans to start a minimum 20 hole drilling program on October 12 focused on testing two target areas each with potential for large precious metal deposits. In addition, drilling is planned to test several conceptual targets for evidence of large gold deposits.

In the course of the extensive district wide mapping and sampling, Animas has identified three target types, 1) gold hosted in sedimentary rocks, 2) intrusive related gold systems, and 3) epithermal gold systems. Drilling will test each of these types of gold occurrences in this program. The Toro -- Gregorio target is the best identified among the targets hosted in sedimentary rocks.



The Toro -- Gregorio target is a +3 square kilometer area of alteration and gold mineralization not tested at depth and is in the best host rocks. Eleven holes are planned including testing below the Animas 2008 drill hole at Camello.



Positive Aspects
  • Large Alteration System (1500m X 600m of clay-iron oxide ± sericite-quartz)
  • Numerous previous mined gold deposits(Toro, Ruben, Camello, Gregorio)
  • Anomalous surface Au in rocks/soil
  • Good structural preparation (NE, E-W, NW faults)
  • Favorable lithology (Mural Fm.)
  • No deep drilling
  • The Camello drill hole ended in decalcification/interstitial pyrite/anomalous Au
  • Strong chargeability/resistivity anomaly

Gregory E. McKelvey, President & CEO of Animas commented "In a mining district of this size, it is almost impossible to test all the ideas and targets. The Animas technical team has done an exceptional job to identify and document the best targets to be tested first. It is exciting for us to have high quality targets with an inventory to follow up after the results from the initial drilling are available. In addition, the program will devote a small percentage of the drilling to testing several unusual ideas supported by the geophysics and geochemistry."

Dr. M.Stephen Enders Joins Advisory Board

Dr. Enders' extensive resume includes former positions as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Exploration for Newmont Mining Corporation and the President of Phelps Dodge Exploration Corporation. He is a graduate in Geological Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines (B.Sc.) and the University of Arizona (M.Sc.), where he has also earned a Ph.D. in Geosciences.

Gregory E. McKelvey also commented "We are fortunate indeed to have Dr. Enders join our advisory board. Steve's experience, success and insight into the discovery process and the precious metals business are complementary to our strong advisory board."
