Projekte

1. Santa Gertrudis Gold Project

Auf diesem Projekt befinden sich 2 ehemals produzierende Minen: Santa Gertrudis und Amelia.
Die Amelia Mine produzierte 1 Million Tonnen Gestein mit 2,88g Gold/Tonne.

Die Santa Gertrudis Mine (open pit) produzierte 560.000 Unzen Gold (2,1 Gramm pro Tonne) bis Ende der neunziger Jahre.
Eine historische Schätzung geht noch von ca. 500.000 Unzen im Boden aus (nicht NI43-101 konform)
Erstes Ziel wird es sein, diese Schätzungen zu bestätigen und auszuweiten.


Work Summary: Available Data

- 1,017 reverse circulation drill holes totaling 98,620 meters
- 225 diamond drill holes totaling 21,122 meters
- 34,000 rock samples
- 21,000 soil samples
- District wide airborne geophysical and Aster surveys
- 55% of district covered by a soil geochemical survey

Work Summary: Potential

- The mine produced over 560,000 ounces of gold from a mine commissioned to start with 1.2 million ounces.
- Economic gold mineralization occurs in an area over 18 km by 4 km; truly a district-sized system
- Past production and exploration were limited to oxides
- Only cursory exploration was done below 400 meters
- Known mineralization extends under post-mineral gravel cover and is open at depth


2. Shirley concession

The Shirley concession (296 km2) located in the Bacanuchi in northern Sonora, Mexico covers a very impressive color anomaly likely caused by hydrothermal alteration and oxidization of sulfide minerals exposed to surface weathering. The Bacanuchi area is known for its past production from artisanal mines (Cu, Au & Ag). The CRM airborne magnetic dataset details the Bacanuchi area to be within the same productive batholithic rocks that hosts the Cananea and the Maria producing mines. Additionally, there are several well defined magnetic "low" features within the Bacanuchi magnetic dataset which could indicate the hydrothermal destruction of magnetic minerals.

The gold potential has never been assessed in light of modern ideas and the porphyry copper potential may not be completely evaluated by previous workers. The property is located 25 km northeast from Santa Gertrudis and 35 km south of Cananea, a world-class porphyry copper deposit located 40 km south of the US/Mexico border.

Animas Resources Engages Major Drilling of Mexico at Santa Gertrudis

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Oct 10, 2007 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) --

Animas Resources (TSX VENTURE:ANI) (the "Company") has engaged Major Drilling of Mexico to commence an 8,000 to 10,000 meter drilling campaign to begin in early 2008 to test the extensions of near-surface known-mineralization, higher-ranked near-surface targets under gravel cover, and targets identified by the in-depth review of existing data sets, focused geophysical surveys, and targets developed between known resource occurrences. Major Drilling of Mexico is a subsidiary of Major Drilling Group International.

As Animas Resources further defines these drill targets, the Company will update shareholders through press releases and updated maps and documents on the Company's website.

Greg McKelvey, Animas Resources' President, commented, "With our field programs under way and fueled by several new and provocative discovery ideas, I am excited to have Major Drilling committed to our upcoming drilling campaign. Drilling is the only way to expand our resources and getting a quality crew on site in early 2008 should begin to provide data to feed into our current database and be in a good position to confirm our new ideas on the deposits and be poised to make new resource estimates as the drilling is advanced."

About Animas Resources

Animas Resources, a North American mineral resource company focused on acquisition and discovery in Latin America, has re-consolidated the Santa Teresa District's Santa Gertrudis gold deposits and prospects within a 125 square mile land holding. The Company also has an option to acquire the Shirley exploration concession in the Bacanuchi area of Northern Mexico.

Lundin says buy Animas for proven resource with upside

2007-10-17 19:59 ET - In the News

Brien Lundin, in the September, 2007, edition of the Gold Newsletter, says buy Animas Resources Ltd., recently 80 cents, for a play with a proven resource, tremendous potential and a tight share structure. Mr. Lundin has never before recommended this company. Animas plans to expand the proven resource at the Santa Gertrudis project in Mexico. This project was previously put into production by Phelps Dodge as an open-pit, heap-leach mine with a 1.2-million-ounce resource. During this period, it produced 564,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 2.13 g/t Au, and, after production was suspended in 2000, the remaining resource was roughly 600,000 ounces. Mr. Lundin is even more excited about the project's upside. Exploration has uncovered economic gold mineralization in an 18-kilometre-by-four-kilometre area. Meanwhile, improvements in recovery technology since the mine ceased production in 2000 will make it easier to uncover the vast gold mineralization that is known to extend at depth, meaning Animas will likely be able to increase the resource considerably. Mr. Lundin advises that when private placement stock frees up in mid-September, investors would be wise to buy, as it may offer the last remaining advantageous entry point.

Animas to buy San Enrique and Greta properties

2007-11-27 18:15 ET - News Release

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES SIGNS LETTER OF INTENT TO ACQUIRE THE SAN ENRIQUE AND GRETA PROPERTIES AND HIRES QUALIFIED PERSON (QP)

Animas Resources Ltd. has signed a letter of intent to acquire the San Enrique and Greta properties from MetalQuest Minerals Inc. The San Enrique and Greta properties comprise 8,500 hectares of the southernmost portion of the Santa Theresa mining district. These properties adjoin the company's Santa Gertrudis gold project.

About San Enrique and Greta

The San Enrique and Greta properties include the Greta portion comprising 954 hectares located nine kilometres southeast of the main past-producing gold properties at Santa Gertrudis. Several near-surface, bulk tonnage potential gold occurrences were outlined by previous operators on the Greta property, including the La Gloria, Greta, Ontario, Tracy and El Tigre. The Greta property is also considered to have excellent potential for hosting deeper, high-grade, Carlin-style mineralization due to the spatial coincidence of several favourable geological, structural, geochemical and geophysical criteria, including:

* Proximal intrusive bodies, as indicated by the presence of aeromagnetic anomalies with coincident, regionally developed aureoles of quartz-pyrite hornfels, marble and skarn;
* Substantial thicknesses (greater than 300 metres) of favourable stratigraphy;
* Clearly defined, high-angle potential feeder structures that intersect the favourable stratigraphic units near the intrusive bodies;
* The presence of distal sedimentary, rock-hosted, disseminated gold occurrences at the margins of the hornfels aureoles;
* Strongly anomalous gold, arsenic, mercury, silver and copper indicated by soil geochemistry.

Gregory E. McKelvey, president of Animas Resources, said: "We are indeed excited about the addition of both the historic resources and the exceptional untested gold potential in the San Enrique and Greta/La Gloria areas. Add these to the four major target areas Animas is delineating at Corral, Berta, Dora and Amelia, and we have no shortage of quality drill targets. As our target concepts continue to evolve, we anticipate identifying and testing all these areas for larger concentrations of precious metals."

The San Enrique area is represented by widespread quartz veining with strongly anomalous copper-molybdenum mineralization coincident with a magnetic high centred over a dome feature with abundant granitic and lamprophyric intrusives, and roughly circular gold, silver, copper, molybdenum and zinc soil geochemistry anomalies.

Transaction terms

Under the terms of the letter of intent, Animas will issue $450,000 (U.S.) in cash and/or common shares to MetalQuest to purchase a 100-per-cent interest in the property and has 120 days to exercise its option. The letter of intent is subject to applicable due diligence.

Animas Resources has hired Dr. Roger C. Steininger to be the company's qualified person as defined by National Instument 43-101.

Dr. Steininger has more then 40 years of experience in metals exploration, development and production geology. Dr. Steininger worked for the Climax molybdenum company early in his career, followed by a position as western exploration manager for Amselco Minerals. During the past 20 years Dr. Steininger has maintained a consulting practice focused in the Western hemisphere. Dr. Steininger's strengths are in precious metals and porphyry geology. He is credited with the discovery, or co-discovery, of several mineral deposits including the South Pipeline gold deposit in central Nevada and the Long Valley gold deposit in California.

"Roger is a respected geologist who has both exceptional experience to comment on our exploration programs as well as being well experienced as a qualified person. Such oversight is key for an emerging company to maintain credibility and the highest quality of geological reporting," commented Mr. McKelvey, president of Animas Resources.

We seek Safe Harbor.

Animas increases financing to $2.5-million

2007-12-05 17:08 ET - News Release

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES INCREASES FINANCING & RE-APPOINTS BOARD AT AGM

Animas Resources Ltd. is increasing the non-brokered private placement announced in Stockwatch on Nov. 18, 2007, from 1.5 million units to a maximum of 2.5 million units at $1 per unit for gross proceeds of $2.5-million. Each unit comprises one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each two warrants entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of 18 months at a price of $1.50 per common share. The increase was due to strong demand from individual and institutional investors.

The financing proceeds will be used for acquisition payments, general corporate purposes, and drilling at the Santa Gertrudis property.

Annual general meeting

Animas held its annual general meeting in Vancouver, B.C., on Monday, Dec. 3, 2007. The current four members of the board of directors -- Gregory E. McKelvey, Mark T. Brown, Donald E. Ranta and Bryan Morris -- were all reappointed to the board and all other matters passed with strong support from the Animas shareholders. The board then reappointed Mr. McKelvey as president and chief executive officer, and Winnie S. Wong, as chief financial officer.

[sparplan_b]

Animas Resources (ANI-TSXV;
C$1.20) has begun a district scale
exploration program on a large
property package in Mexico, which
incorporates two past producing gold
mines. Historically, a half million
ounces of gold was outlined on the
property and not mined. In addition,
numerous high potential targets at
surface were not followed up, as the
gold in those targets was not amenable
to heap leaching, which was the
recovery method used at that time.
Testing by Animas shows that the gold
could be recovered by other methods,
making those targets worth pursuing.
The potential for gold at depth has
never been tested. The upside potential
for Animas is large as it advances
exploration, first pushing out the limits
of the known deposits, then testing
other targets on its district-scale
property.

Animas Resources finds six areas for drill testing


Animas Resources Ltd (C:ANI)
Shares Issued 21,404,434
Last Close 12/18/2007 $1.33
Wednesday December 19 2007 - News Release

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES IDENTIFIES SIX LARGE AREAS TO PREPARE FOR DRILL TESTING

Animas Resources Ltd.'s technical team has initially identified six high-quality areas within the main Santa Gertrudis historic gold-producing part of the Santa Teresa mining district, each one of which appears to contain valid potential for multimillion-ounce targets. Animas Resources identified these areas by consolidating several past operators' data into a modern GIS database system and through extensive work in the field. These potentially could produce stand-alone gold deposits and are characterized as follows:


Corral-Sofia is a two-kilometre-long by 350-metre-wide northwest alignment of known historic producing mines (Corral, Corral Northwest, Hilario and Sofia) and listed historic resources, within one of the most favourable host rocks known in the district. This project has very limited drilling outside of the immediate pit areas, anomalous rock samples up to eight grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au). Induced polarization (IP) anomalies, calcareous/carbonaceous sedimentary rocks that host known gold mineralization and vertical mineralized structures (feeder) within the known pits suggest that the area also may have excellent potential for deeper gold mineralization. The Corral-Sofia project contains both targets for extensions of known deposits and targets between known deposits.
El Toro-Agua Blanca is a 2.5-kilometre by 350-metre northwest alignment of past-producing mine for leach gold mines, non-43-101-compliant historic resources (1), surface gold (rock and soil), with associated pathfinder trace elements and coincident IP anomalies along a major feeder-type structure cutting the most favourable host rocks. There is only limited drilling between the historic mines.
The Berta Northwest area is anchored by ore-grade intercepts under the former office and plant sites, is 3.5 kilometres long by one kilometre wide, is a northwest-trending zone of very anomalous gold soil/rock geochemistry with highly anomalous arsenic (As), zinc (Zn) and molybdenum (Mo) in soils, a distinct radiometric signature, and a major IP anomaly within a highly prospective stratigraphic sequence. Berta contains both extensions from known-deposit-type targets and more distal-type targets.
Amelia-Trinidad is a four-kilometre-long by 500-metre-wide east-west alignment of past-producing deposits with corresponding rock and soil gold and trace element anomalies. The zone of alteration extends well beyond the known deposits, and there is only limited drilling between the Amelia and Trinidad deposits. A northwest-trending zone contains a historic non-43-101-compliant gold resource (1) (Trinidad -- plus or minus 8,000 ounces gold), seven anomalous gold and locally coincident rock/soil geochemical anomalies (rock chips up to eight grams per tonne gold), and a distinctive radiometric anomaly in a highly prospective stratigraphic sequence. This zone parallels the main Amelia-Pirinola and Toro-Corral trends, and may be a previously unrecognized mineral trend. The Amelia-Trinidad project contains both extensions of known-deposit-type targets and distal-type targets.
Dora/Cristina is a four-kilometre-long by 400-metre alignment of high-level gold deposits, IP anomalies, and surface rock and soil gold and trace element anomalies, with a historic non-43-101-compliant gold resource (1) (plus or minus 88,600 ounces) that extends north along strike and west under gravel cover, a major three-line IP anomaly, and a well-defined, high-angle mineralized structure (feeder) that may have excellent potential for controlling deep gold mineralization. Dora contains both extensions of known deposits and distal-type targets.
Greta/Ontario is a large area of historic non-43-101-compliant gold resources (1) within both favourable stratigraphy and major structures. Greta/Ontario contains both extensions of known-deposit-type targets and distal-type targets.

In addition to specific defined targets, each potentially large enough to add significant value for Animas, the team is working on concepts and ideas such as:


The Great Circle anomaly is a three-kilometre-diameter circle defined by an apparent ring of historic oxidized gold mines and non-43-101-compliant historic resources (1), and a distinct, coincident, deeper-seated magnetic anomaly. Nine of the known historic mines are located along the margin of this circular feature and the main Berta target is located within the feature. There is a two-line strong IP anomaly within the eastern portion of the zone (no IP lines to the west). This target may be located over a mineralizing source intrusive, as suggested by the airborne magnetic survey. The area is being considered as one of potentially several source intrusive for the widespread gold mineralization in the Santa Gertrudis area.
Christina Sag is a 2.5-kilometre circular topographic low with several gold deposits and target areas coincident with the topographic feature. These include Cristiana (a non-43-101-compliant resource (1) of plus or minus 126,000 ounces gold) soil geochemical anomalies, including gold, molybdenum and zinc, and a prominent magnetic edge shelf feature. IP and magnetic anomalies exist along a northwest-northeast fabric, circular low in electromagnetic, radiometric donut. All three are circular features.
Espiritu is located on a northeast structure and it consists of three-metre-wide to four-metre-wide vein zone of unknown dimensions of altered host rocks, and strong soil and rock geochemistry.

The remaining portions of the district may well contain viable targets under postmineral cover, within host lithologies not exposed at the surface, deep-seated structures/feeder zones and premineralization structurally prepared areas. The size of this mineralized district offers potential beyond the six large targets identified and is being prepared for drill testing.

(1) The historical estimates are based on internal reports prepared by prior owners and, as such, have not been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. Thus, their reliability has not been verified. The estimates did not use resource or reserve categories accepted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM).

The Perfect (Mexican Gold) Storm

Bob Moriarty
Archives
Dec 19, 2007

This has been an exciting year for me, not so exciting for investors. I've been to about 25 different projects and some are world class, as good as any I have ever visited. Southern Arc (SA-V) has what looks to be one of the biggest porphyry targets in the world. ATW (ATW-V) and Pediment (PEZ-V) picked up wonderful mid-size producers for pennies on the dollar. Peak Gold (PIK-V) is polishing up a large 150 thousand ounce a year gold producer in Brazil.

But it hasn't been all that red hot for investors and that may be good. While gold and silver were up a lot, gold going from $640 at the first of January to $840 and silver from about $13 starting the year to a high of $15.80, costs of mining went up higher and faster. One of the industries biggest projects was put on the back burner in November, Galore Creek, because of surging costs. That whacked NovaGold investors 50% of their investment overnight. And while gold going up day after day got the pulse of investors pumping, a $55 tumble in four days in November has convinced many gold investors to throw in the towel.

I think any investor crying into his or her beer may be missing the big picture. The BIS recently announced derivatives have soared to a mind-boggling $516.4 trillion as of June 2007. That's earth shaking and I doubt if 50 people in the financial world actually understand the implications. The wheels are coming off the world's financial system; much of the $516 trillion is pure fraud. The Fed keeps slapping on billion-dollar kid's Band-aids and that's like trying to bail out the Titanic with a sieve. The problem isn't a billion dollars or ten billion dollars or a hundred billion dollars. It's not even a trillion dollar problem looking for a trillion dollar solution. It's a hundreds of trillion dollars problem and no one gets it. Yet. They will soon.

There is danger in every possible investment you can make. Nothing is absolutely safe. Real Estate is crashing, bonds are on the verge of falling off a cliff and the stock market is about as safe as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Even gold shares have been hit hard. But at the end of the day, when the banks close, you had better believe precious metals and mining shares are the only safe haven. Because they are the only safe haven.

Corrections in mining shares are perfectly normal and are nothing more than a good opportunity to pick up great shares cheap. You should always be buying when no one wants them and selling when everyone wants them. Right now, the gold shares are all on sale and are as good a deal as you will ever see.

My last trip of the year was a quick trip to one of my favorite areas in Mexico, Senora where I went to visit a brand new company that has somehow managed to piece together an entire gold DISTRICT. If I hadn't recently visited Pediment and ATW and seen just what people are still managing to put together, I wouldn't have believed it.

Animas Resources (ANI-V) was formed recently to consolidate the Santa Gertrudis district in Northern Sonora State Mexico, right on the border with Arizona. Animas has assembled an entire 125 square mile district (34,800 hectares). Phelps Dodge first discovered gold in the area in 1986. PD advanced the project into production as an open pit, heap-leach operation before selling it to Campbell Resources in 1995. Campbell continued operations at the Santa Gertrudis mine until shutting down in October of 2001 due to low metals prices. In addition an Australian company operated a nearby mine they called the Amelia Mine.

Over the ten-year period, the two mines produced an average of 60,000 ounces of gold a year at a grade running between 2.1 and 2.88 g/t. Animas has access to all the data from about 120,000 meters of core and r/c drilling from 1200 holes, 34,000 rock samples and 21,000 soil samples. Remarkably the prior operators focuses on only the near surface oxide ore and ignored sulfide results. There has never been a hole drilled below 400 meters. The entire district has barely been scratched even though bright red areas of alteration can be seen in all directions.

The project comes with a historic resource of about 720,000 ounces of gold. The resource was developed prior to NI 43-101 and naturally one of Animas's first priorities is to bring it up to 43-101 standard.

While Campbell Resources ran the mine, they commissioned Behre Dolbear to conduct a study. The report makes for interesting reading:-

"the property contains potential for a deep, Carlin-type target from an examination of the property and the presently available data for the project. The geology, structure, geochemistry, geophysics and mineralization are indicative of this type of system and the similarities to the Post-Betze deposit are very striking. Santa Gertrudis is at the same position the Carlin Trend was at the point in time Barrick bought the Gold Strike property from Western States Minerals and started their deep exploration program. The deep exploration potential at SG is very positive and the chance for deep mineralization is very good. The surface potential, as you know, is without question."

One of the directors of Animas, Don Ranta was the head of Phelps Dodge, North America and actually put the Santa Gertrudis mine into production for PD. Another member of the team, Odie Christianson, former head geologist for Newmont, was generally credited for much of the development of the Carlin Trend for Newmont.

We spent a day driving around the property. It's so big that we barely scratched the surface but the alteration and mineralization is obvious everywhere you can see. PD and Campbell chased the surface expressions of massive alteration but it's obvious to the most casual observer that to the south the alteration is under only a thin cover of post-mineralization material.

It's pretty amazing but obviously still true that a junior can put together a remarkable project even at $800 gold. There are two leach pads still in place with material on them that could be put into production quickly. 720,000 ounces of gold resource is worth twice times the total market cap of the company right now. But you can have all the gold in the world, if you don't have the people, you are out of luck. And while there are lots of good, maybe great gold projects we are running into shortages of good people at every level.

Animas has an excellent project. Even today, few juniors manage to put together entire districts. But their real strength is in the management team led by Greg McKelvey as President and CEO. With 40 years of experience, Greg was VP of Exploration for Phelps Dodge and actually was the person who helped PD sell the project to Campbell for $10 million in 1995.

With over 35 years of experience, John Wilson, Animas VP of Exploration has made discoveries in Brazil, Nevada and Peru and has worked all over the world. He has generated over 25 high potential drill targets over four prospective trends after consolidating the data from prior operators.

I've met and worked with Dr Stephen Reynolds at the Baja Sur project of Pediment and have the utmost respect for him. Steve is a brilliant structural geologist and a Professor of Geology at Arizona State University. From what I saw of preliminary data, the real problem Animas faces from a geological point of view is to understand just how the structures control the mineralization. I've been to a lot of projects where exploration and drilling went on for years yet management still didn't have a firm grip on the structural controls of the system. While we were driving out to the project I was talking to Greg McKelvey, I suggested they put their hands on the best structural geo they could find right away. He answered by asking if Steve Reynolds was good enough for me. I just smiled.

Steve has a brother, John Reynolds, who did the IP work for Pediment at Baja Sur. He is also working at Santa Gertrudis.

The ultra-high quality geological experience Animas has put together in a team is a double-edged sword. The good aspect is that there aren't any spring chickens. There isn't any incentive for the management team to make this a 10-year exploration project. I've seen a lot of people far more interested in cashing paychecks for as long as possible and it bugs me big time. I want people to hustle and move a project forward.

Greg, John, John and Steve aren't in the business of collecting paychecks. They want to define more than 3 million ounces of gold and either sell it off or put it into production. Since the majors have been consuming their young for the last 10 years, a 3 million ounce project will be ultra-attractive and will command a big premium. The $1.1 billion buyout of Bolnisi is the model Animas intends to follow.

But the downside of having a grey-headed team is that either we train our replacements or we won't have replacements. The industry not only has a people shortage, it has a critical young people shortage. People are working 5 years beyond reasonable now. I told Greg that whatever number of young people he intended to hire and train, he should double that number. Mining will be crippled 10 years from now unless we initiate an aggressive training program right now.




The Animas team hit the ground running. Major Drilling has been hired and will begin an aggressive 10,000-meter program in early 2008. 25 drill targets have been chosen and by the time Major completes the 10,000-meter program, there will be a phase II program to follow. Animas knows they need to conduct an aggressive program.

I'd like to see the leach pads loaded and turned on to provide cash flow. It's something Greg looked at. The team has spent a lot of time discussing. But portions of the mineralization contain carboniferous material and sulfide ore. The carbon sucks up the gold from the leaching solution so even a small amount of carbon can destroy the economics. Sulfide ores can be better recovered by milling and running through a CIL or CIP process. That costs a lot more money and won't make sense until Animas can get down below the water table and start exploration in the untouched 300-meter deep levels. Chances are they will have a big sulfide resource but you have to define that resource before you can start planning on how to recover it.

There are a lot of aspects that make up a good junior exploration company. Access to capital is important, projects are always a key element, management is mandatory. It's rare that I come across a company as well balanced as is Animas. As a new company, they have a tight share structure; cash in the bank, a world-class gold district and world-class management. When you factor in a way underpriced gold share market, you pretty much have the perfect storm.

We invested in Animas early on. We invested even more in the last placement after I got to visit the project. By no means am I a disinterested observer. I own shares and I am biased. In addition, Animas advertises on 321gold. You must do your own work and look into Animas before buying but the company is about as sweet a deal as any I have seen in quite a while.

Animas buys Santa Gertrudis royalties

2008-01-03 16:13 ET - News Release

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES PURCHASES THREE SEPARATE ROYALTY AGREEMENTS AT SANTA GERTRUDIS

Animas Resources Ltd. has purchased the three outstanding royalty agreements on certain properties inside the 323.75-square-kilometre Santa Gertrudis gold deposits and exploration concessions.

Royalty purchase terms:

* From Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp. -- 1-per-cent and 1/3-per-cent net smelter return royalty in certain properties located in the state of Sonora -- Animas Resources will pay 50,000 common shares at $1.25 per share for a value of $62,500;
* From Campbell Resources Inc. -- 2/3-per-cent net smelter return royalty in certain properties located in the state of Sonora -- Animas Resources paid $31,250 cash;
* From Campbell Resources and Sotula Gold Corp. -- 1-per-cent net smelter return royalty plus production royalty of 10 U.S. cents per ton for a total of $2-million (U.S.) for certain properties located in the state of Sonora -- Animas Resources paid $56,250 cash.

"We believe the purchase of the outstanding royalties on the formerly producing Santa Gertrudis gold mines and surrounding concessions will prove to be a very well-bought asset for our shareholders," commented Gregory McKelvey, chief executive officer of Animas Resources.

Bericht über Animas jetzt auch im Goldnewsletter von Brien Lundin:

http://www.goldnewsletter.com/newsletter_PDFs/1207_Animas.pd…

Building on its already substantial holdings in Mexico’s Santa Teresa gold district, Animas Resources (ANI.V; ANIMG.PK; C$1.48) recently added two key properties, San Enrique and Greta. These properties cover some 8,500 hectares in the southern-most portion of the district and, significantly, comprise the largest parcel that Animas did not already control in the area.
San Enrique and Greta have a non-compliant 43-101 combined resource of about 145,000 ounces of gold spread among six deposits. This resource doesn’t amount to a hill of beans, of course. The big enchilada here, as with Santa Gertrudis, is the untested gold potential. The 954- hectare Greta portion is of particular interest. Like Santa Gertrudis, it has excellent potential to host high-grade Carlinstyle mineralization. As ANI president George McKelvey says, “we have no shortage of drill targets.” Speaking of drill targets, while Animas is digesting its latest acquisition, it completed a C$1.5 million private placement financing to fund exploration at Santa Gertrudis.
This work will get underway in early 2008, with an 8,000- to 10,000-foot drill program to be divided between expanding the known resource, drilling new, shallow targets between deposits, and developing new targets. I think the potential for market-moving results is excellent here; the company is taking a fresh look at existing data with a view to better and faster target identification.
The Animas team, which is formidable, is set on quickly building a strategic land position in this district. This is a smart move, giving them the chance to pick up properties before the price rises on drill results.
The stock remains a buy, but proceed carefully on weakness. It’s closely held and prone to behaving like a Mexican jumping bean when investors get excited.

XL: Absolutely. And last is Animas Resources.

CMS: I’m on the advisory board, not the board of directors. But it’s the same type of philosophy. When you sit on the advisory board, it’s not as full-on as sitting on the board. You’re there as a resource for the CEO to maybe make introductions or talk strategy. At Animas, Greg McKelvey has put together a district, which is a very well-known district but has never really been consolidated under one company with a focus on finding not only the surface ores that outcrop but the deeper ores which could be Carlin-like. According to Greg, there’s gold in every single rock type on that project, so it’s going to be a very, very exciting exploration program.

Animas forms geophysical special projects group

2008-01-14 16:42 ET - News Release

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES FORMS GEOPHYSICAL SPECIAL PROJECTS GROUP

Animas Resources Ltd. has formed a geophysical special projects (GSP) group to assist with the current exploration program at the Santa Gertrudis project area. The GSP group will focus on analysis of the extensive geophysical database acquired from the previous operations in the Santa Gertrudis area, and begin new, target-specific, ground, geophysical operations to assist the geological team, headed by John Wilson, vice-president exploration, with further drill-target delineation. John Reynolds of Durango Geophysical Operations will oversee and co-ordinate the activities of the GSP group.

Dr. Craig Beasley of Wave Geophysics L.L.C., Evergreen, Colo., will lead the aeromagnetic data reprocessing and 3D inversion efforts, and take a primary role in the integration of the geophysical data-sets with the geological and geochemical information.

Condor Consulting Inc., Lakewood, Colo., a recognized expert in the field of airborne electromagnetics (EM) has been retained to perform a detailed interpretation of the existing airborne EM data.

Quantec Geoscience, Reno, Nev., will commence a detailed, induced polarization and resistivity survey in January to further delineate targets for the Santa Gertrudis drilling program.

The goal of this program is the integration of the geophysical data sets and model products with the extensive focused geologic geographic information systems (GIS) database consolidated by Animas Resources' technical team. Additionally, Durango will focus a specialized reconnaissance induced polarization (RIP) program in January to help identify additional prospective target areas in the extensive gravel covered areas to the northwest of the main historical Santa Gertrudis production zone. This RIP technique will explore southeast of the Santa Gertrudis trend beyond the known Greta/Ontario/El Tigre zone recently optioned to Animas from MetalQuest Minerals. Preliminary review of the existing aeromagnetic data suggests that favourable conditions for additional Santa Gertrudis type mineralization extend to the southeast.

Past operations by Phelps Dodge and Campbell Resources have produced over 5,100 line-kilometres of helicopter aeromagnetic data, of which over 3,200 line-kilometres also include multifrequency EM data, radiometric data, and very-low-frequency EM data. These existing data are of very high quality and provide comprehensive coverage of the past-producing areas at Santa Gertrudis. These data have been used minimally by the past owners and only to the extent then possible by processing techniques of the mid-1990s. Significant technical strides have been made within the geophysical community across the last 12 years, and having very high quality airborne-magnetic, EM, and radiometric data sets will help Animas understand the mechanisms of mineralization control and at the same time, generate new prospective target zones.

The GSP group efforts will be focussed on locating additional, shallow gold-oxide resources within the footprint of past mining operations, in addition to looking at all potential projects for large Carlin-like gold occurrences in the Santa Gertrudis project area of the Santa Teresa district.

"Any time we can apply new ideas and techniques to extensive high quality historic data in a productive district, we often identify more targets than we initially expect. Wave Geophysics, Condor Consulting, Quantec Geoconsulting and Durango Geophysical Operations all have proven abilities to identify the best targets and opportunities whether they are in line with existing concepts, or represent totally new targets and/or concepts of exploration never previously considered," commented Gregory McKelvey, chief executive officer of Animas.

Animas Resources: A Junior Gold Explorer Pulls Off a Coup?
Source: David Banister 01/11/2008

The Gold Bull Market is some seven years into its advance from its lows in the early part of this decade. Using my Elliott Wave analysis techniques, I’ve been able to stay long and on the right side of the HUI index and Gold trade the entire time. I have Gold going to $980-$1,000 US in 2008 and the HUI heading to 525, with a possibility of seeing 600 at its next peak. Can there possibly be any good gold stock values with the gargantuan run the HUI index has had from 50 to 450 this decade? The short answer is resoundingly YES!

Even with the amazing strength of gold prices and the demand thereof, once in a rare while a Junior Exploration company will manage to pull off a land package and exploration project opportunity at bargain basement pricing. However, it is not enough to find some property and drop some drills in the ground. An exploration project must have a very strong geology team, management team, and an assortment of required experts on the advisory board to have a chance at greatness. Animas Resources in my opinion has managed to do just that, and will soon stand to benefit as this “Gold Bull” rages onward.

Imagine if an exploration team could re-consolidate from various ownership parties an entire “gold district” for the proverbial pennies on the dollar? What if that land base had prior gold production averaging 2.1 to 2.8 grams per tonne of mined gold? Better yet, what if that historical gold district happens to be in mining friendly Mexico? Let’s get a bit more greedy. Why not throw in 1,200 historic drill holes to comb through along with a commissioned study on the property indicating the extremely high potential for high grade gold at lower depths than previously drilled? Jeff Phillips, Managing Member of the Advisory Board and his team at Animas Resources not only imagined the above, they managed to pull it all off. The phrase “the sum of the whole is greater than its parts” never fit better.

Prior to the shutdown of mining operations in 2001 due to low gold pricing, the San Gertrudis district that Animas now controls was producing 60,000 ounces per year of gold over a ten year period using heap leach mining methods. The prior operators were drilling only to the shallower Oxide mineralization levels, and never bothered with the deeper sulphide based mineral due to lower gold prices and higher cost heap leach methods they were employing. With gold trading in 2008 at $850 per ounce as opposed to $300 per ounce in the 1990’s, it is clearly economic to drill deeper holes and pull potentially higher grade gold out, even if at a higher cost. Animas has a planned 10,000 meter drill program in place now, and will begin drilling in the first quarter of 2008. Six drill zones have been identified by one of the most well qualified geology teams in the world. These holes will be drilled as deep as 400 meters, and any exciting intercepts that come out of that length hole will surely drive investor interest.

How do I value thee? Let me count the ways. Investors today are absolutely starving for a junior explorer to discover a large and mine-able gold deposit or trend. This can be seen clearly by the constant excitement over ten meter intercepts of high grade gold. As one of my good friends likes to say “Yes, that is a nice charm bracelet… but it’s not a mine”. I can name one explorer down in Mexico that recently drilled off six 150-180 meter holes and saw their market cap go from $15,000,000 to $180,000,000 in six short weeks. The grades they drilled were impressive, but lower than the historic grades Animas controls on their properties. Animas’ market cap is currently only $40,000,000 as of the time of this writing (24,000,000 shares at $1.60 a share). There are several junior explorers doing very well in Mexico, including Pediment, Geologix, and Canplats with market caps ranging from $110,000,000 to $160,000,000.

Animas is also working on a compliant 43-101 resource estimate based on the roughly 800,000 plus ounces of historic gold sitting on the properties they now control, including recent land they acquired that abutted the SG district properties. The gross value of 800,000 ounces today is $680 million dollars. Taking 5% of that number is $34 million alone. The value of the 1,200 historic drill holes is hard to estimate. If a new junior was to begin drilling 1,200 drill holes today it would take multiple years and tens of millions just to get that far. Animas has another $7 million in the bank to boot, and we haven’t even added up the value of all the land they amalgamated from various owners to create this new district. With a $40 million market cap, I could argue Animas is trading at a discount to the very base value of its prior gold, money in the bank, and historic drill holes alone. Investors are giving Animas no value at all for any future drilling upside.

Animas Resources has attracted a very respectable list of executives, consultants, and advisors. They include the past head of Phelps Dodge exploration South America, past head of Phelps Dodge exploration North America, past head geologist for Newmont Mining, past president of Cominco Resources, past Mining Man of the year (who sold her exploration company to Barrick for 1.1 billion dollars), past head Echo Bay geologist, the past VP of acquisitions for Cominco, the Mexican lawyer who co-drafted the current mining law of Mexico, and the past Senior VP for business development at Phelps Dodge. To review the complete list of executives, consultants, and advisors, please visit Animas's web site at http://www.animasresources.com/s/Management.asp.

As just one example of the quality of the team involved, look no further than one Odin Christensen. Odin was very involved with the early discovery of the “Carlin Trend” in Nevada in the 1980’s that went from 300,000 ounces to 20,000,000 ounces during his stewardship. That discovery helped to put Barrick Gold on the map, and landed Odin a job as the Chief Geologist at Newmont Mining.

A prior commissioned report called the Behre Dolbear report had the following to say about the SG property that Animas now controls:

"The property contains potential for a deep, Carlin-type target from an examination of the property and the presently available data for the project. The geology, structure, geochemistry, geophysics and mineralization are indicative of this type of system and the similarities to the Post-Betze deposit are very striking. Santa Gertrudis is at the same position the Carlin Trend was at the point in time Barrick bought the Gold Strike property from Western States Minerals and started their deep exploration program. The deep exploration potential at SG is very positive and the chance for deep mineralization is very good. The surface potential, as you know, is without question."

One of the most exciting times to invest in a junior gold exploration firm is before they begin deep drilling. Southern Arc minerals had a similar story last year in that they had acquired the rights to drill off a piece of property in Indonesia that had historic drill results from Newmont Mining. SA dropped some 600 meter drills into the ground and the fireworks began when the assay results came out. SA went from a $20 million market cap to as high as $150 million as results poured out. Animas is at a great stage in their early life with historic strong drill results, a huge re-consolidated gold district, some of the world’s foremost geologists and a tight share structure. In the early part of a new calendar year, often a strong stock will sell off a bit as investors with gains “recognize” those gains in the new year. This allows them to defer paying taxes on those gains for sixteen months. Often, this represents opportunity to establish a new position or add to one. Animas is experiencing some selling now and I don’t expect it to last.

I own shares in Animas and I am biased as a shareholder. All junior explorers have potential for great reward, but can also carry great risk and have extremely volatile stock prices. Please perform further due diligence and consult an Investment Advisor before investing.

Animas converts data for Santa Gertrudis development

2008-01-17 10:31 ET - News Release

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES TRANSFERS OUTSTANDING DATA TO MINE DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATES

Animas Resources Ltd. has completed the conversion of a majority of the voluminous old data sets from past-mining operations at Santa Gertrudis. Michele White, economic geologist, president of All One River GIS Services, transferred the recovered data in digital format to Mine Development Associates (MDA), which is currently being vetted to meet standards of QA/QC. MDA is now in a position to continue its data verification and continue resource estimates as part of a new National Instrument 43-101-compliant report the company plans as it adds new information through drilling scheduled for the first quarter, 2008.

The successful consolidation of the various properties, owned by different operators at Santa Gertrudis, brings with it an impressive amount of exceptional quality geologic, geophysical, engineering and drill hole data. Targets and the six projects initially identified (see news in Stockwatch on Dec. 19, 2007), using the paper copies and some computer data sets, can now be more easily refined and perhaps expanded with these digital data in the GIS programs. The company's technical team expects that with these additional data sets now being viewed for the first time may be material information that supports the six potential stand-alone project areas previously defined by Animas. This review may also lead to the identification of other potential stand-alone projects. Animas will issue updates as important components of the data are analyzed and assessed for exploration targeting and resource modelling. These digital data combined with the 3-D reprocessing of the extensive geophysical data will form a robust foundation for targeting near-surface projects, verifying the suspected feeder structures and outlining continuations of mineralization to depth.

John Wilson, vice-president exploration of Animas, stated: "This successful data recovery will contribute significantly to our database and the company's expectations. This data can be used with modern software not only for future resource estimates but also for rapid identification, and refinement of the projects and targets we currently have."

Animas Resources- A junior gold explorer pulls off a coup?

Animas is also working on a compliant 43-101 resource estimate based on the roughly 800,000 plus ounces of historic gold sitting on the properties they now control, including recent land they acquired that abutted the SG district properties. The gross value of 800,000 ounces today is $680 million dollars. Taking 5% of that number is $34 million alone. The value of the 1,200 historic drill holes is hard to estimate. If a new junior was to begin drilling 1,200 drill holes today it would take multiple years and tens of millions just to get that far. Animas has another $7 million in the bank to boot, and we haven't even added up the value of all the land they amalgamated from various owners to create this new district. With a $40 million market cap, I could argue Animas is trading at a discount to the very base value of its prior gold, money in the bank, and historic drill holes alone. Investors are giving Animas no value at all for any future drilling upside.

Animas Resources has attracted a very respectable list of executives, consultants, and advisors. They include the past head of Phelps Dodge exploration South America, past head of Phelps Dodge exploration North America, past head geologist for Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM, Bullboards), past president of Cominco Resources (NYSE: TCK, Bullboards)/(TSX: T.TCK.B, Bullboards), past mining man of the year (who sold her exploration company to Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX, Bullboards)/ (TSX: T.ABX, Bullboards) for 1.1 billion dollars), past head Echo Bay geologist, the past VP of acquisitions for Cominco, the Mexican lawyer who co-drafted the current mining law of Mexico, and the past Senior VP for business development at Phelps Dodge. To review the complete list of executives, consultants, and advisors, please visit Animas's web site.

As just one example of the quality of the team involved, look no further than one Odin Christensen. The geologist was very involved with the early discovery of the "Carlin Trend" in Nevada in the 1980s, which ballooned from 300,000 ounces to 20,000,000 ounces during his stewardship. That discovery helped to put Barrick Gold on the map, and landed him a job as the Chief Geologist at Newmont Mining.

The Behre Dolbear Report, which was commissioned in 1997, had the following to say about the SG property which Animas now controls:

"The property contains potential for a deep, Carlin-type target from an examination of the property and the presently available data for the project. The geology, structure, geochemistry, geophysics and mineralization are indicative of this type of system and the similarities to the Post-Betze deposit are very striking. Santa Gertrudis is at the same position the Carlin Trend was at the point in time Barrick bought the Gold Strike property from Western States Minerals and started their deep exploration program. The deep exploration potential at SG is very positive and the chance for deep mineralization is very good. The surface potential, as you know, is without question."

One of the most exciting times to invest in a junior gold exploration firm is before they begin deep drilling. Southern Arc Minerals (TSX: V.SA, Bullboards) had a similar story last year in that they had acquired the rights to drill off a piece of property in Indonesia that had historic drill results from Newmont Mining. SA dropped some 600 meter drills into the ground and the fireworks began when the assay results came out. SA went from a $20 million market cap to as high as $150 million as results poured out. Animas is at a great stage in its early life with historic strong drill results, a huge re-consolidated gold district, some of the world's foremost geologists and a tight share structure. In the early part of a new calendar year, often a strong stock will sell off a bit as investors with gains "recognize" those gains. This gambit allows them to defer paying taxes on those gains for sixteen months. Often, it represents an opportunity to establish a new position or add to one. Animas is experiencing some selling now, although I don't expect it to last.

I own shares in Animas and I am biased as a shareholder. All junior explorers have potential for great reward, but can also carry great risk and have extremely volatile stock prices. Please perform further due diligence and consult an investment advisor before investing.

TICKER: TSX.V: ANI
DESCRIPTION: Animas Resources is a North American exploration company with diversified mining interests in one of the world's fastest developing mining countries, Mexico. The management group, with its significant and broad experience in the mining industry, plans to expand Animas Resources' reserves through development, discovery, and acquisition of high quality, precious and industrial metal properties. Building from the historic resource base at the Santa Gertrudis deposit (within a 125 sq. mile concession), the company will strategically expand the near surface and deeper resources to the economic decision points that increase shareholder value. The company will also evaluate numerous targets within its 296 sq. Kilometer Shirley concession with the goal of generating joint venture opportunities.

"Animas Resources has acquired a huge exploration opportunity at a significant discount, and possessing what I see as minimal downside risk, if managed well. Considering the historic resource, the caliber of the team in place, and the exploration potential of this district… the market capitalization of just $27 million sounds to me like opportunity knocking. With a share price of $1.25, opportunity knocks loudly." – from Kevin Graham's Site Report 12/07. Download full report.

Animas buys MetalQuest's San Enrique, Greta properties

2008-03-06 09:54 ET - News Release

Also News Release (C-MQ) MetalQuest Minerals Inc

Mr. Gregory McKelvey of Animas reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES ACQUIRES THE SAN ENRIQUE AND GRETA PROPERTIES, ADDS ADDITIONAL CONCESSIONS, AND HIRES FIRM TO PREPARE FORM 20-F

Animas Resources Ltd. has acquired the San Enrique and Greta properties from MetalQuest Minerals Inc. The San Enrique and Greta properties consist of 8,500 hectares of the southernmost portion of the Santa Teresa mining district. The acquisition now includes an additional 3,887 hectares within the area of influence that was held by the previous joint venture partners as a part of their former contract with MetalQuest.

These properties adjoin the company's Santa Gertrudis gold project.

About San Enrique and Greta

The San Enrique and Greta properties include the Greta portion comprising 954 hectares located nine kilometres southeast of the main past-producing gold properties at Santa Gertrudis. Several near-surface bulk-tonnage potential gold occurrences were outlined by previous operators on the Greta property, including the La Gloria, Greta, Ontario, Tracy and El Tigre.

The Greta property is also considered to have excellent potential for hosting deeper, high-grade Carlin-style mineralization due to the spatial coincidence of several favourable geological, structural, geochemical and geophysical criteria, including:

* Proximal intrusive bodies, as indicated by the presence of aeromagnetic anomalies with coincident, regionally developed aureoles of quartz-pyrite hornfels, marble and skarn;

* Substantial thicknesses (greater than 300 metres) of favourable stratigraphy;

* Clearly defined, high-angle potential feeder structures that intersect the favourable stratigraphic units near the intrusive bodies;

* The presence of distal sedimentary rock-hosted, disseminated gold occurrences at the margins of the hornfels aureoles;

* Strongly anomalous gold, arsenic, mercury, silver and copper indicated by soil geochemistry.

prior owners and as such have not been prepared in accordance with
NI 43-101, thus their reliability has not been verified. The
estimates did not use resource or reserve categories accepted by
the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
(CIM).

Gregory E. McKelvey, president of Animas Resources, said: "We are indeed excited about the addition of both the historic resources and the exceptional untested gold potential in the San Enrique and Greta/La Gloria areas. Add these to the major project areas Animas is delineating at Corral, Berta, Dora and Amelia, and we have no shortage of quality drill targets. As our target concepts continue to evolve, we anticipate identifying, prioritizing and testing all these areas for larger concentrations of precious metals."

The San Enrique area is represented by widespread quartz veining with strongly anomalous Cu-Mo mineralization coincident with a magnetic high centred over a dome feature with abundant granitic and lamprophyric intrusives, and roughly circular Au, Ag, Cu, Mo and Zn soil geochemsitry anomalies.

Transaction terms

Animas Resources will issue $450,000 (U.S.) in common shares to MetalQuest to purchase a 100-per-cent interest in the property, subject to the TSX Venture Exchange's approval.

Animas hires firm to prepare form 20-F

Animas Resources has hired A.B. Korelin and Associates Inc. to assist the company in filing its form 20-F with the Securities Exchange Commission. The 20F allows the company to communicate directly with potential investors in the United States.

This press release was reviewed by Dr. Roger C. Steininger, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Sie machen keine schlechte PR :


Please find attached the Animas Resources (TSX: ANI) press release announcing the acquisition of the San Enrique and Greta Properties, plus additional concessions, and the hiring of the firm to prepare their form 20-F.

Animas Resources has 5 full time geologists in the field, plus the consultants Dr. Steven Reynolds and Dr. Odie Christiansen. In addition, there are 4 geophysical companies working on the project. There are 2 in the field and 2 working with the past data and the new data being generated from the field operations.

I believe Animas Resources continues to demonstrate the right way to build an exploration company for its shareholders. The exploration business is a tough business and many companies do not plan properly. If these companies are skilled and lucky enough to have exploration success, many opportunities are missed because of not doing the right things in the beginning. Many times I have seen that in the interest of short term performance companies sacrifice even greater long term success.

I do not worry about this with such an experienced team in place at Animas Resources. In a nutshell, it is important to have all the land pieces in place before you start potentially increasing there value.

I believe Animas is doing just that, and once done, there will be new data shortly to support these developments. I am a very excited shareholder and consultant as I believe Animas will soon be releasing this data and how it effects both target selection and the six independent project areas already identified for the near term drilling program.

Thank you,

Animas stakes 10,770 ha near Santa Gertudis

2008-03-25 12:46 ET - News Release

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES STAKES AN ADDITIONAL 10,770 HECTARES

Animas Resources Ltd. has staked an additional 10,770 hectares (41.59 square miles) to the west and southwest of the main Santa Gertrudis gold deposits within the Santa Teresa mining district. These concessions will add to the 172.64 square miles of the Santa Teresa district now controlled by the company.

Animas Resources filed for the new concession when the old claim covering the west and southwest area of the known gold occurrences was recently declared available by the government. This area is mostly postmineral cover along broader extensions of the known mineralization in the central part of the district. Preliminary reviews of the recently completed geophysical data over the gravel cover give reason to believe the area may well hold potential for additional mineralization. As a result, an additional 10,770 hectares of mineral concessions have been staked and the paper work filed with the Mexican government.

"We are excited to have the mineral rights to explore in this area where so many of our targeting criteria show indications of untested potential. Animas Resources has been patiently waiting for the Mexican government to make these concessions available," said John R. Wilson, vice-president of exploration.

ANIMAS RESOURCES CLOSES ACQUISITION OF SHIRLEY PROPERTY AND ACQUIRES ADDITIONAL DATA

Animas Resources Ltd. has closed the acquisition of 100 per cent of the Shirley property in the Bacanuchi area of Sonora, Mexico. The TSX Venture Exchange has also accepted the transaction.

Shirley property

The Shirley property is 274 square kilometres in the Bacanuchi area in northern Sonora, Mexico. The property covers a very impressive colour anomaly likely caused by hydrothermal alteration and oxidization of sulphide minerals exposed to surface weathering. The Bacanuchi area is known for its past copper, gold and silver production from artesanal mines. The CRM airborne magnetic dataset details the Bacanuchi area to be within the same productive batholithic rocks that host the Cananea and the Maria producing gold mines. Additionally, there are several well-defined magnetic low features within the Bacanuchi magnetic dataset which could well represent the hydrothermal destruction of magnetic minerals. The gold potential has never been assessed in light of modern exploration ideas and the porphyry copper potential may not have been completely evaluated by previous explorers.

The Shirley property is located 25 kilometres (km) northeast from the company's Santa Gertrudis gold project and 35 km south of Cananea, a world-class porphyry copper deposit located 40 km south of the United States/Mexico border.

"The Shirley property is within the highly productive Larimide trend of major copper deposits in northern Sonora and represents an opportunity for covered porphyry and base metal deposits. This is a prospect that could generate interest from potential joint venture partners. The Animas geological team is very familiar with the project area," commented Gregory E. McKelvey, president of Animas Resources.

Additional data acquisition

Animas Resources recently received permission to use past geophysical data collected on the Shirley property in the 1990s when the prevailing copper prices where low. Chris S. Ludwig, consulting geophysicist, has been engaged to handle the data review and recompilation. "The permission to use this historic geologic and geophysical data will greatly increase the speed in advancing the project to key decision points," stated Mr. McKelvey.

Animas to drill 10,000 m at Santa Teresa in June

2008-05-08 09:32 ET - News Release

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES UPDATE ON PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Animas Resources Ltd. has provided an update on project development activities in the Santa Teresa mining district relevant to its past-producing Santa Gertrudis and Amelia gold projects.

Animas Resources has completed the phase one targeting work leading to the first phase of drilling. A phase one 10,000-metre drilling program will begin in June with a drill that has the capability of reverse circulation drilling and core drilling. The quality assurance/quality control program is in place, and Animas is in the process of making its own local assay standards derived from Santa Gertrudis materials. The detailed drill target locations will be announced shortly along with recent geochemical sampling.

Project update

Animas Resources is completing phase one of its geophysical programs to collect new induced polarization (IP) and reconnaissance IP (RIP) data, and extensively reprocess the historic airborne and ground geophysical information. It is confirming and better defining many of its known targets and identifying new ones that will warrant additional investigation after phase one drilling begins.

A review of the recently completed IP and RIP geophysics and the sophisticated reprocessing of existing geophysical data (magnetic, radiometric, electromagnetic and IP) has confirmed and sharpened the targets that are currently the focus of the company's program. In addition, Animas has identified new areas of interest under postmineral cover and has expanded the permissive area surrounding the current six project areas. Detailed geologic remapping assists in defining the size of the systems, and analyses of rock samples, with assays pending, give both direct indications of gold as well as the trace element zoning indicators. Selected sampling of the outcropping feeder zones may reveal regional and local zoning toward hydrothermal centres of the district, once all the assay results are received.

Craig Beasley of Wave Geophysics completed the initial data integration and processing of airborne magnetic data in a sophisticated 3-D modelling program. In addition to being able for the first time to visualize 3-D magnetic susceptibility distributions in the district, Mr. Beasley's efforts provide a valuable framework for interpretations by integrating the geology and mineral controls on several scales. A logical interpretation of the broad magnetic high features is that the entire district and area of known gold mineralization are underlain by a large irregular intrusive complex. Also, large areas of receptive host sedimentary rocks are seen to extend to depth in several areas, while in other areas, the intrusion appears to closely underlie known gold deposits.

Condor Geophysics, under the direction of Ken Weitherly, is completing an extensive review of the electromagnetic data. Its synthesis is confirming locations of the known feeder zones mapped at the surface and potentially indicating others that are not exposed in surface outcrops or are under shallow cover.

Phase one of the Quantec Geoscience IP survey and Durango Geophysical Operations' RIP surveys has sharpened definition of drill targets in areas of known mineralized extensions and within the six larger target areas. To date, the Quantec surveys confirm the potential extensions of the Dora, Maribel and Mirador deposits, and show that the Viviana target may well be much larger than previously believed. Quantec is making exceptional progress, and daily checks of its data confirm it is acquiring very high-quality data. The phase one IP surveys have further refined Animas Resources' phase one drill program. Highlights of the IP survey to date include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Cora-Dora, a plus-three-square-kilometre zone anchored by the non-43-101-compliant 88,553-ounce historical gold resource at the Dora deposit, is defined by a discreet reconnaissance IP chargeability anomaly to the west and southwest under postmineral gravel cover and by the existence of possible feeder zones along north-south trends that are cut by several mineralized structures with northwest trends. The western extensions of the Dora deposit were not drilled in the past as the operating companies never were able to acquire the mineral rights to the west which Animas Resources recently acquired. The apparent verification of the permissive target area extending at least 500 metres to the west under gravel cover and over one km along the feeder zones to the south suggests both sizable near-surface potential as well as opportunities for much larger deposits.
2. The Mirador deposit, with a historical resource of 45,075 ounces of gold that is non-43-101 compliant, and the adjacent Melisa, Hilario and Sofia deposits, with non-43-101-compliant historical resources of nearly 20,000 ounces of gold, form a 1.5 km by one km zone along the main northwest trend. Broad and distinct IP chargeability anomalies indicate the mineralized system extends to depth and becomes potentially broader with depth.
3. The Berta and Berta NW trend have known mineralization, which was drilled by previous owners below the old mine office and truck shop pads extending to the south and southwest. The size of the target area defined by surface geologic mapping and sparse drilling, and several new IP lines is four square kilometres.
4. Historic drilling at Viviana and new IP chargeability anomalies extending to the west form a one square-kilometre zone that mostly does not crop out. High-grade intercepts of gold in the plus 10 gpt range are found in a small area at the surface of Viviana indicating the potential for adjacent larger areas of mineralization.

Durango Geophysical Operations completed the initial phase of a three-phase RIP program to the west and northwest of the mineralization at Santa Gertrudis. In addition to exploring for extensions of mineralization under postmineral cover, a positive RIP conductor appears centred over a well-pronounced magnetic feature thought to be an intrusive centre under gravel cover to the west on the company's concessions. In addition, several other positive RIP conductors were shown to be both on Animas Resources' property package and beyond the property boundary; this resulted in the recently announced staking of 10,770 hectares. The RIP anomalies will be further detailed by the Quantec pole-dipole IP survey to further define the nature and size of these chargeability anomalies.

Geochemical sampling of the outcropping feeder zones is well advanced, and while Animas awaits the assays, it should have sufficient data from these samples to understand the local and district-wide metal, trace element and alteration zoning features. These are critical to determine the best large potential targets and speculate on the source areas and perhaps additional targets worthy of testing.

The San Enrique/Greta acquisition recently closed, bringing with it a vast amount of additional data including non-43-101-compliant historical resources. These data have now been integrated into Animas Resources' new GIS database. The historical gold resources offer numerous exciting targets. These targets will be evaluated for future drilling after the phase one drill program on the company's existing targets has begun. In addition, Animas Resources' technical team is evaluating the San Enrique copper/molybdenum porphyry target to potentially be advanced with a partner.

Mine Development Associates is compiling a drill-hole database and will audit and verify it, assist Animas professionals in the task of interpreting cross-sections needed for a revised resource estimate, and is assisting with the revised report co-authored by Animas staff and qualified consultants. The initial draft of the 43-101 report is expected in the third quarter.

Animas plans to continue the geophysical data acquisition and interpretations in support of the geologic mapping by Steve Reynolds and Geoff Grier, target mapping by Oden Christensen and the on-site technical team. Additional targets will be evaluated for the phase two drill program.

Gregory McKelvey, president and chief executive officer, commented: "In such a large and well-mineralized district, it is important to maintain a clear focus on the best opportunities and, as appropriate, continue to build toward the identification of the best targets and projects in this productive mining district. While much of the current geophysical program is focused to assist in drill-target ranking, some is building toward the future as well. We are excited to begin drilling and validating many of our now better-defined known targets.

"In good projects, there often is a special time when all the pieces come together at the unique time to move to discovery. This time is beginning now at Santa Gertrudis with the new geochemistry, modern processing of the historic and new geophysics, good old-fashion, boot-leather geology, and a complete drill hole database. We are now refining the ongoing selection of drill sites for testing targets starting in June and will announce detailed target locations shortly. The team's hard work is paying off. It is not often that the data and the ideas join at the same time, and we are fortunate to have these now as integrated data rather than separate pieces of a puzzle."

Project history

Animas Resources, over the past eight months, consolidated much of the Santa Theresa mining district. This was accomplished through four separate acquisitions and the staking of over 15,000 hectares. These include the past-producing Santa Gertrudis and Amelia gold deposits, and prospects within its 214-square-mile landholding. Santa Gertrudis ore deposits produced 564,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 2.13 grams per tonne from a mine commissioned to start with 1.2 million ounces. The Amelia mine reportedly produced more than 150,000 ounces at grades said to be higher than Santa Gertrudis. Known mineralization extends under postmineral gravel cover and is open at depth. Past production and exploration were limited to oxide ores amenable to heap leaching near surface, despite the fact that gold-mineralized sulphide material also exists at and near surface. Animas also has the water rights and the wells used for the past production from the properties. Animas Resources also purchased all of the outstanding royalties on its landholdings.

The historical estimates are based on internal reports prepared by prior owners, and as such, have not been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, thus their reliability has not been verified. The estimates did not use resource or reserve categories accepted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM).

ANIMAS RESOURCES GEOCHEMISTRY UPDATE

Animas Resources Ltd. has received assay results from 572 select surface rock-chip geochemical samples collected, to both define near-surface drill targets and sample suspected outcropping feeder zones with an eye toward district, wide-metal zoning and potential source areas.

Animas Resources recently completed the initial phases of a surface rock-chip geochemical sampling program designed to augment the extensive existing historic rock/ soil sampling database. The purpose of this program was to provide specific information for drill targeting, with drilling to commence in June. The new samples provide Animas with better precious metal and trace element distribution data that is vital for delineating district-wide and project-specific mineral zoning patterns.

Some of the significant results of this program are discussed below:

- Select geochemical sampling within the old mines and adjacent areas of outcropping bedrock indicates that gold mineralization is clearly controlled by high-angle, northwest and northeast-trending faults and shear zones crossing cutting favorable host rocks. The recognition of these structural "feeder zones" coupled with the understanding of the importance of stratigraphic and host-rock control in gold deposition has added greatly to the development of a new, district-wide gold mineralization model. This new model is expected to aid greatly in the evaluation of known gold occurrences and drill targeting. The map of the new geochemical sampling is with the pdf version of this press release posted on our web site http://www.animasresources.com.

- In fill surface sampling within the poorly drill-tested, southeast-trending Toro - Camello zone indicates that mineralization may continue between these two old mines for leach oxide gold deposits. Gold in rock ranges from less than 0.1 gpt to 2.35 gpt Au and it is permissive that a coherent mineralized zone up to 200 meters wide and 400 meters long may exist between the two old mines. The new sampling of this area can be found on the pdf version of this release posted on our web site.

"The surface geochemistry is clearly defining larger areas of potential and focusing our efforts on the best areas. The results to date have justified the ongoing expanded sampling program in selected areas. The concept of sampling the feeder zones looking for district wide trends continues to be of interest to our broader efforts to develop new and larger targets," commented Gregory E. McKelvey, President, CEO & Director.

ANIMAS RESOURCES REPORTS ON DRILLING PROGRAM

Animas Resources Ltd. has recorded the initial drill targets and plans for the initial drilling in the Santa Teresa mining district at, and around the, company's past-producing Santa Gertrudis and Amelia gold projects.

Animas Resources has completed preliminary targeting work in preparation for the first phase of drilling at Santa Gertrudis. These drilling plans consist of approximately 4,500 metres of a planned 10,000-metre drilling program starting in June. Drilling will be done with a reverse circulation/diamond core-type drill rig. The primary focus of this initial drilling will concentrate on the testing of indicated offsets of known historical mineralization (along strike and down dip), and on the verification of indicated resources from the historical data.

In general, the planned drilling program is based on the need to provide necessary information for future resource estimates and to explore indicated extensions of known gold mineralization, and it is expected that this work will lead to larger sequential offsets and the identification of other areas of deeper mineral potential. The company anticipates the drilling to continue advancing to test these targets and projects throughout the summer.

Six main project areas have been selected for initial evaluation (please also refer to the map on the Animas web site at www.animasresources.com). These areas were selected on the basis of detailed surface geologic mapping/geochemical sampling, new geophysical surveying (pole - dipole IP), and reinterpretation of existing historic geological, geophysical, and geochemical data. Based on this work, it appears that the known gold deposits are contained within larger, kilometre-sized pyritic zones (now oxidized to goethite/hematite at the surface). This fact implies that although the known historic gold deposits may have been relatively small, the mineral system(s) itself is quite large, strong, and possibly deep-seated.

Designated project areas (see Animas website) are as follows: 1. Maribel - Dora; 2. Cora - Dora - Cristina; 3. Mirador - Katman; 4. Amelia - Cosahui; 5. Corral SE; and, 6. Greta. Seven more conceptual targets also have been identified: Sargento Thrust, Toro Norte Thrust, Sargento Centro, Aqua Blanca SW Thrust, Dora Deep Thrust/ Feeder target, San Enrique, and Enedina (Old RIP anomaly area). Targeting in these areas is based primarily on the recognition/documentation of the following district-wide mineralization control features:

- Favorable host-rock lithology and select stratigraphic control.

- Local mineral control by E-W, NE, and NW "feeder zones".

- Pre-mineral thrust faults (large, shallowly-dipping zones of broken rock with limited hanging wall permeability).

Locally, thrust faults have favorable indirect evidence of mineralization at depth, such as the occurrence of jasperoids, and it is permissive that they may overlie favorable host rock lithologies and potential gold mineralization. The recognition of the importance of thrust fault control of mineralization is a major step change in our district-wide mineralization model.

The proposed drilling program, is consistent with the earlier reported allocation of the exploration efforts as follows: 40% to extend known resources; 40% to discover new resources along strike and under cover; and, 20% to develop/test new ideas for larger deposits. However, at any given time, there will likely be a component of offset drilling, infill drilling, extension drilling from known deposits, step change concept verification, and new model concept testing.

- Infill Drilling will be required locally to verify historic data for future NI 43-101 complaint resource estimates.

- Offset Drilling from known deposits/intercepts will target projections of known gold mineralization along strike or down dip. In some cases, due largely to the economics at the time of mining, it appears that gold mineralization may have been left untested and/or undefined by previous operators at Santa Gertrudis.

Offset and along strike drill sites identified to date are as follow:


Maribel-Dora -- 2 holes
Cora-Dora-Cristina -- 0 holes
Mirador Katman -- 10 holes
Amelia-Cosahui -- 3 holes
Corral SE --3 holes
Greta -- 0 holes

Six holes also are planned in the Pirinola (2 holes), Real Viejo (2 holes), and Santa Teresa (2 holes) areas.

- Concept Verification Drilling will be done in target areas where the geology, geophysics and/or geochemistry suggest the potential for important gold mineralization. These would include some of the deeper targets reasoned to exist under Dora, Cristina and potential targets under post-mineral gravel cover.

Important Features of Santa Gertrudis

- Based on a recent re-interpretation of the existing aeromagnetic data, it is permissive that the district may be underlain by a large intrusive complex.

- Several known deposits remain open along strike, down dip.

- Large areas of receptive host sedimentary rocks are inferred to extend to depth in several areas.

- Pre-mineral thrust faults and post-mineral listric faults are inferred to cover favorable host rocks, and it is permissive that the thrust faults also could be important in ore localization.

- Gold "feeder structures" crop out and represent both deeper targets and the source conduits for the known gold mineralization.

- The mineral systems appear to be quite large (km2 in size) (see the IP polarization image on the Animas web site).

Last Close 6/18/2008 $1.41
Thursday June 19 2008 - In the News

Brien Lundin, in the June, 2008, edition of the Gold Newsletter, says hold Animas Resources Ltd., recently $1.50. Mr. Lundin said buy Animas in September, 2007, at 80 cents. A $1,000 investment is now worth $1,827. Mr. Lundin reminds readers of the company's San Enrique/Greta acquisition earlier this year, which expanded its Santa Gertrudis property in Mexico to 173 square miles. He says the big story at Santa Gertrudis is its potential to host one or more world-class gold deposits. The company has been working hard and carefully to identify the best targets in this large and well-mineralized district. This evaluation is being used to guide a 10,000-metre drill program beginning this month. After putting so much work into identifying targets, the letter writer thinks the company is now entering a drilling phase that should be very exciting. While Animas has not yet released the specific drilling targets, Mr. Lundin says there are several with considerable promise. He thinks the highest priority will be on the Cora-Dora, Maribel and Mirador deposits, as well as on the Viviana target. Given the company's meticulous and diligent evaluation period, good results should come quickly. Stay tuned for the excitement.

New Buy Recommendation

Animas Resources Ltd.

Animas Resources (TSX.V: ANI) is a newly formed North American-based exploration company. As you can tell from the chart above, its public equity heartbeat began in August of 2007. What is most impressive about this company is its highly seasoned management team, who have come out of retirement because they believe they have a chance to find one or more major gold deposits in a Carlin-style deposit. The company's flagship property is the Santa Gertrudis Deposit, located within a 170-sq.-mile concession.

The Santa Gertrudis
Cucurpe, Sonora State, Mexico



The Santa Gertrudis Gold Project ("SG") is located 180 km north of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. It was discovered by Phelps Dodge in 1986 and put into production as an open-pit, heap-leach operation in 1991. In 1995, Campbell Resources purchased SG from Phelps Dodge for $10 million. From May 1991 to October 2000, the SG Property produced 564,000 ounces of gold, with an average grade of 2.13 grams/tonne being placed on the leach pads. The resource on this project, when production began, was 1.2 million ounces of gold.

During the same period, the Amelia Mine, located directly north of the SG Deposit, mined over 1 million tonnes of ore grading 2.88 grams of gold per tonne by an Australian company. Campbell and the Australian company later ceased mining and processing activity due to low gold prices during the late 1990s and settled some outstanding debts by assigning several core area concessions, including the un-mined Cristina Deposit, to local Mexican contractors. In 2006, Animas Resources acquired these properties for $5.7 million.

Animas' management believes the potential is good for finding a Carlin-style high-grade mineralization at lower depths in addition to verifying and expanding near-surface, oxide mineralization at SG, which was previously ignored by prior operators who were interested only in the lower-cost, open-pit, heap-leaching operations. So what we have here is a project with an existing open-pittable oxide resource that could get much larger (but is yet to be verified under 43-101 regulations) and what seasoned exploration geologists believe is the potential to find a high-grade monster deposit at depth that served as the feeder for a small percentage of gold that escaped to the surface, where it was subsequently weathered.



Certainly, Animas management is not alone in their view that SG could host a Carlin-type gold deposit. In 1997, Campbell commissioned Behre Dolbear & Company, which concluded: "...that the property contains potential for a deep, Carlin-type target from an examination of the property and the presently available data for the project. The geology, structure, geochemistry, geophysics and mineralization are indicative of this type of system and the similarities to the Post-Betze deposit are very striking. Santa Gertrudis is at the same position the Carlin Trend was at the point in time when Barrick bought the Gold Strike property from Western States Minerals and started their deep exploration program." And, "The deep exploration potential at SG is very positive and the chance for deep mineralization is very good. The surface potential, as you know, is without question. There is excellent potential for additional shallow gold deposits both adjacent to known oxide gold occurrences and under shallow gravel cover."

The surface potential that is without question is displayed on the map on your left. Note the soil anomalies (red circular features) and rock anomalies (pink circular features). Also note from the map on the prior page, the mineralized areas shown outside of the old open-pit mining area.

Animas Resources' technical team has initially identified six high-quality areas within the main Santa Gertrudis historic gold-producing part of the Santa Teresa mining district, each one of which appears to contain the potential for the discovery of a large-scale gold deposit. As exploration moves forward over the next year, exciting results on one or more of those targets could move these shares considerably higher.

The Bacanuchi Project
Sonora State, Mexico

The Shirley Concession covers a 296-square-kilometer area. It is located in the Bacanuchi area of northern Sonora, Mexico. Its hydrothermal alteration and oxidization of sulfide minerals exposed to surface weathering makes this a very enticing grassroots exploration target for the company's geologists. The Bacanuchi area is known for its past production of copper, silver, and gold by local artisanal mines. CRM airborne magnetic dataset details the Bacanuchi area to be within the same productive batholithic rocks that host the Cananea and the Maria producing mines.

The gold potential has never been assessed in light of modern ideas, and the porphyry copper potential may not be completely evaluated by previous workers. The property is located 25 km northeast from Santa Gertrudis and 35 km south of Cananea, a world-class porphyry copper deposit located 40 km south of the U.S./Mexico border.

SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

With some 700,000 ounces of historical gold resources at or near surface with the potential to greatly expand that number, and given the strong management team in place and a market cap of only around $35 million, we think this company is a very attractive speculation on the basis of the company's oxide potential alone. However, the real upside could come if a Carlin-type high-grade gold deposit of size is outlined at depth.

I met with members of this company's management team in New York and what I came away with from that meeting is that those men believe they have a chance to find a monster high-grade Carlin-type deposit. Otherwise, they would not have given up their retirement days of ease on the golf links. There are never any guarantees in this business. But given a historical resource of 700,000 ounces, which we believe should eventually be increased and confirmed via NI-43-101, and given its current market cap of $35 million, we do not anticipate any significant downside risk from current price levels. Anything short of a multimillion-ounce deposit might be considered a failure by this blue chip management team, who left an easier post-retirement life only for the hunt of the next mega Carlin-type gold discovery. In summary, we see Animas as a gold exploration stock appropriate for speculative investors, with our usual caveat that even speculative investors should not allocate more than 5% to any one stock. As the company moves forward with its exploration program at SG, we anticipate passing along many positive assays via our weekly Hotline messages.

ANIMAS RESOURCES NEGOTIATES ACQUISITION OF IMPORTANT INTERNAL CONCESSIONS IN SANTA TERESA DISTRICT AND UPDATES ON SHIRLEY CONCESSION

Animas Resources Ltd. has signed a letter of intent for the purchase of two critical internal concessions in the Santa Teresa district from Minera Lixivian SA de CV. These claims are within the productive northern part of the district with past production by a private Mexican company and are adjacent to the Amelia historic operations.

The acquisition, a total of US$650,000 payable in common shares and cash over 18 months from the date a final option agreement is signed, is subject to a 60 day due diligence period.

"These two concessions with past production from yet another previous operator are an important part of one of our top project areas. Animas has been working on this acquisition for over nine months and these claims represent the last concessions that saw historic production that we don't already control," commented Gregory E. McKelvey, President of Animas Resources.

Bacanuchi field review

Dr. Dennis Cox, Victor Espinosa and New Mexico Tech student Matt Earthman have recently completed a field mapping and sampling review of our Shirley Concession at Bacanuchi. Chris S. Ludwig, Consulting Geophysicist, has provided the Company with preliminary interpretations of the public and valuable private data that will assist the field team in assessing and identifying any valuable targets. Samples are pending and the integration of the data should be complete soon. "Once these data are integrated and reviewed, we will be in a good position to assess the quality of any targets and ideas identified," said Gregory E. McKelvey, President of Animas Resources.

Brien Lundin, in the August, 2008, edition of the Gold Newsletter, refreshes his buy recommendation for Animas Resources Ltd., recently $1.56. Mr. Lundin said buy Animas in September, 2007, at 80 cents, and in July, 2008, at $1.46. Assuming a $1,000 investment each time, the total $2,000 investment is now worth a pleasing $2,940. Mr. Lundin says Animas is getting closer to producing good drill results at the Santa Gertrudis and Amelia gold projects. He says he is encouraged by the tremendous amount of work Animas has done to pick drill targets for its 10,000-metre program. He also likes the environment of the projects. Mr. Lundin is expecting drill results at the end of August, which will give investors a little time to buy before the news rolls in. Mr. Lundin suggests buying on occasional weakness. Fellow letter writer Jay Taylor also recommended buying Animas in June, 2008, at $1.47. The International Speculator said buy Animas in May, 2008, at $1.18, for its better-than-average chances of returning positive drill results.

Update on Animas Resources: Drill Program Results Coming

We thought it is time for an update and review of this outstanding company which we introduced to our readers this spring. In these turbulent times of volatile markets it’s wise to know why you own the companies you own. We believe a company like Animas does not depend on bullish markets. It was created and considered a project of extremely high merit at a time when gold was at $600 an ounce. Animas has maintained its share price while most other juniors have sold off 50% or more. We feel very fortunate to own shares and look forward to a rapidly developing story.

Animas Resources (TSX.V: ANI, Pink Sheets: ANIMF) is anticipating assay results coming back from the lab on the first 4,500 meters of drilling within a 10,000 meter program. They are exploring their concessions within the historically prolific 348 square kilometer Santa Teresa Gold Mining District in Sonora State, Mexico. While consolidating most of the land within this district by the end of 2007, Animas attracted a management team of unparalleled experience for a junior exploration company, led by mining executive and geologist Greg McKelvey, who has 40 years experience and was Vice President Exploration South America for Phelps Dodge.

The size of this project may be difficult to comprehend. To repeat ourselves, Animas holds most of the land in an entire gold mining district! Historic mining produced over 500,000 ounces of gold from easy-to-get-to easy-to-mine shallow oxide gold deposits when gold was at $280 an ounce. It has long been suspected that this district harbored a very large, strong and possibly deep-seated mineral system. There has long been substantial interest in this district from industry giants as characterized in a 1997 report from Behre Dolbear, esteemed mining industry consultants: “The property contains potential for a deep, Carlin-type target from an examination of the property and the presently available data for the project. The geology, structure, geochemistry, geophysics and mineralization are indicative of this type of system and the similarities to the Post-Betze deposit are very striking. Santa Gertrudis is at the same position the Carlin Trend was at the point in time Barrick bought the Gold Strike property from Western States Minerals and started their deep exploration program. The deep exploration potential at SG is very positive and the chance for deep mineralization is very good. The surface potential, as you know, is without question.”

Exploration, additional land acquisition, integration of past data into a model and the development of a new conceptual model of the district proceeds apace. The current drilling program has three goals in a ratio of about 40-40-20: to validate historic deposits, to seek extensions of those known zones and to test deeper targets. Historic deposits include a non-compliant resource of 700,000 ounces of gold. Extensions of these zones may exist under the several square kilometers of gravel on the concessions. Very numerous sulfide outcroppings have given encouragement to management that deeper sulfide mineralization may exist, similar to the Carlin Trend. Shareholders may be pleased to learn that an NI 43-101 report is being created from existing data and will be augmented by findings from the current drill program.

CEO McKelvey runs a tight ship, as you might expect from a thoroughgoing mining professional. It is unlikely that any data will “leak” from this program. However, newsletter writer Darryl
Brookstein has visited the property and viewed drill core from hole # 3. This is what he had to say: “The core from this hole … can be seen [in a picture he provided]… Please note the stark differences in the “look” of the rock above from almost one intercept tray to the next. For me, this indicates the radical forces of super-intense heat, steam, pressure and explosive energy that geology perpetrated on this ground, probably multiple times, through an extraordinary geologic history…I don’t remember the last time I saw anything like this.” He was particularly interested in pitch-black material studded with pyrite over 20 meters, “down where they’re looking”. Mr. Brookstein goes on to repeat that there is no way of knowing that there is gold in this mineralization, though he does not hold back in his excitement.

So Animas has come a long way this year. Since the original consolidation effort, the Company has bought back all of the royalties on the properties they own, has added substantially to their land holdings and has recently signed an LOI for the remaining concessions within the district that saw historic production. Management is simultaneously operating a drill program, building a state-of-the-art computer model from a vast amount of data coming from disparate sources and commissioning a compliant, externally verified report as to the mineralization on this property. Clearly their intention is to replicate known mineralization, extend it, gain a comprehensive understanding of the geology of the district and look for evidence of Carlin-like sulfide deposits. The current thinking is that the surface deposits “are contained within larger, kilometer-sized pyritic zones”, implying that the surface mineralization alone might be very large.

Obviously, management is confident that they may discover very large deposits of gold. They are confident enough that they have adopted a poison pill “to ensure the fair treatment of shareholders in the event of an unsolicited takeover offer for the company's common shares.”

Although this property, by management’s own words, will probably be being explored “for decades”, the facts exist that none of the current, highly experienced senior management team is a spring chicken. In addition, the greater part of their compensation is held in a “bonus pool”, which means that they will be paid one million shares upon completion of an NI 43-101 report of 1.7 million ounces of gold and another 1 million shares if this resource exceeds 2.7 million ounces, or upon the completion of a take-over bid by an independent party. We speculate that their age and the possibility of this bonus is very high incentive for management and may partially account for the efficiency of efforts to date and the extremely rapid progress to date. The company has also recently filed their 20-F with the SEC which could lead to a senior exchange listing in the US.

It amazes us that with all this acquisition and exploration activity Animas still only has 26,706,762 shares outstanding and around 6.5 million of cash in the bank. We understand that many of the holes in the first part of the drill program are intended to extend historic mineralization. Perhaps that heightens the possibility of good results, which might be published in the late summer. As we said at the beginning of this newsletter, this company does not need a bullish stock market to be exciting.

ANIMAS RESOURCES COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF LIXIVIAN CONCESSIONS, ENGAGES DR. JEFF JAACKS AS A CONSULTANT, AND UPDATES FINANCIAL POSITION

Animas Resources Ltd. has closed the acquisition of the Lixivian claims inside of its Santa Teresa mining district. In addition, the company has engaged Dr. Jeff Jaacks, a renowned geochemist, to join the Animas Resources technical team.

Lixivian

Animas Resources has closed the Lixivian transaction (see press release in Stockwatch dated July 21, 2008) comprising two critical internal concessions in the Santa Teresa district. The transaction was with Minera Lixivian SA de CV. These claims are within the productive northern part of the district with past production by a private Mexican company and are adjacent to the historic Amelia operations.

The Lixivian property has both historic gold production and gold mineralization in drill holes. The property unifies the larger target mapped by the company's field crews in the Amelia area and its above-average grades make this a viable candidate for a major centre of mineralization. Drill testing these areas, planned for later in the year, will follow an in-depth review of the Lixivian data and geology.

"The acquisition of the previously productive Lixivian concessions completes the consolidation of the critical lands within the Amelia area and opens up new potential targets for testing. Combined with the current extensive landholdings, this area is one of several geologically permissive targets that are larger than those mined in the past. We are confident that careful geological fieldwork will lead to quality targets in the project area," said John Wilson, vice-president of exploration of Animas Resources.

Dr. Jeff Jaacks joins technical team

Dr. Jaacks has more than 25 years experience as a chief scientist and geochemist working with Anaconda Copper, Chevron Resources, Texasgulf Minerals, Petrex, Nicor Mineral Ventures, Westmont Mining and BHP Minerals. From 1993 to 1999, Dr. Jaacks was manager of geochemistry, Americas, at BHP Minerals.

"Dr. Jaacks adds a critical component to our focus on the large targets currently being refined by the field team. The geochemical signature of the large project areas at Manuels, Greta, Amelia and others will provide Animas with a unique tool combined with our geology and geophysics to target our drilling in the highest potential areas first," said Gregory McKelvey, president of Animas Resources.

Update on financial position

Animas Resources is aware of the current conditions in the financial markets and has planned accordingly. The company's current treasury will allow continuing exploration efforts and resource definition work throughout 2009. If market conditions prevail or improve, the company will make adjustments to budgets accordingly.

This news release was prepared by company management, which takes full responsibility for its content. The technical disclosure in this press release has been reviewed by Dr. Roger Steininger, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Animas drills 8.5 m of 2.98 g/t Au at Santa Teresa

2008-12-01 09:36 ET - News Release

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES DRILLS 8.5 METERS OF 2.98 GPT IN THE SANTA TERESA DISTRICT

Animas Resources Ltd. is releasing the results from one core hole drilled at Camello, three core holes at Corral and one core hole at Berta exploration areas in the Santa Teresa mining district. The company awaits assays from 20 additional holes in the district that are still being processed and will be released as complete results are available for specific project areas.

One core hole (ARBE-001) was drilled in the Berta area, and intersected 8.5 metres of 2.98 grams per tonne (g/t) in an intensely altered and oxidized dike, and adjoining hornfels. The hole was drilled to test an alternative concept for mineralization control in the Berta East area, southeast of the old office site. This area contains a historic resource of 3,360 plus/minus ounces gold from pervious drilling and this hole not only extends the known mineralization but the company believes offers an excellent opportunity to discover a significant gold deposit. One core hole (ARCM-001) was drilled at the Camello deposit to offset historic hole CM-106, which contained an intercept of 36 metres that averaged 0.81 g/t gold (Au), including 19.5 metres of 1.45 g/t Au. ARCM-001 appears to have intersected the extension of this zone at the bottom of the hole, with the intersection of 3.5 metres averaging 0.55 g/t from 223.10 to 226.60 metres (the hole ended in mineralization). This mineralization is contained within carbonaceous-pyritic siltstone with anomalous zinc and arsenic. Figure 2 on-line is slice of the chargeability anomaly map at approximately 200 metres below the surface showing a significant chargeability high that may represent an area of mineralization. Hole ARCM-001 appears to have intersected the northwestern margin of the anomaly. CM-105 is the only historic hole in the area that was deep enough to intersect the anomaly and it contained silicified calcareous siltstone with pyrite. While ARCM-001 was originally drilled to test for extensions of oxide mineralization, it reflects how the drilling is being used to identify larger targets. As a result of the recently completed 200-metre geophysical survey and the new drill hole, a substantial target has been identified that will require additional data compilation to define specific drill targets. "Drilling an offset hole to the north of known mineralization appears to have uncovered interesting evidence for a larger target. Additional work is necessary to determine if this is a yet another area with a multimillion-ounce gold target. I am encouraged that the intercept at the bottom of this hole coincident with the IP chargability anomaly that may well be sound evidence of a bigger target," G.E. McKelvey, president of Animas Resources, said.

OR GREATER, OF GREATER THAN 0.10 G/T AU

Berta ARBE-001 264.85 238.05 246.55 8.5 2.98

Three core holes totalling 783.05 metres were drilled to test for offsets of mineralization along the western margin of the Corral pit. The offset drilling at Corral encountered only spotty gold values downdip from the historic holes that contained significant gold values. One potentially significant interval was in ARCO-003, which contains 27.10 metres of 0.318 g/t Au and appears to connect with the known mineralized zones. These three holes will assist in defining the resource at Corral and provides limits to the deposit.

We seek Safe Harbor.

Als ich bei meinen Recherchen zu Animas Resources auch routinemäßig WO absuchte, was ich

1. überrascht hier überhaupt einen Thread über ANI zu finden und

2. noch überraschter, als ich feststellen konnte, dass der Threaderöffner, ein mir von zwei Messen in München persönlich bekannten Mitstreiter aus anderen Thread, "sparplan_b" war.

"sparplan_b" war übrigens sehr, sehr zeitig mit dem Thread hier online, da gab es die Firma praktisch noch gar nicht richtig. Pech hat er gehabt, dass die Finanzkrise dem Kurs von ANI wie bei vielen anderen Explorern auch wenig zuträglich war und wohl allgemein auch das Interesse an aussichtsreichen "high-risk" Investments stark nachgelassen hatte.

Aber Animas Resources ist keinesfalls der besagten Finanzkrise komplett zum Opfer gefallen, wie viele andere. Das Team glaubt weiter an seine Idee, könnte jüngst auch ein Finanzing erfolgreich abschließen und kann somit auch auf den Projekten mit Volldampf weiter arbeiten.

Da "sparplan_b" bereits hervorragende Vorarbeit geleistet hat, erspare ich mir eine große Einleitung und poste einfach mal das, was an Wichtigem in den letzten beiden "M" stand:

****

Als ich die zwei „Musings“ von Mickey Fulp über Animas Resources gelesen habe, war mir relativ schnell klar, dass diese Aktie ebenfalls den Einzug in mein Depot finden würde. Zum einen macht mich aktuell Gold einfach stärker an als Industriemetalle und zum anderen haben wir es bei ANI mit einer sehr jungen, aber sehr aussichtsreichen Gold¬Explorationsfirma zu tun.

Hier der Link zu den Dokumenten von Mickey Fulp (Geologe):

http://www.miningcompanyreport.com/mercenary_geologist_merce…,

den ich Euch so ganz nebenbei insbesondere auch wegen seiner fachbezogenen und kostenlosen Erläuterungen dringend empfehlen möchte. Beispiel: Wer kennt den genauen Unterschied zwischen Resourcen und Reserven? Er könnte ihn Euch in einem seiner Musings erklären und dieses Wissen würde jeden von Euch wieder ein Stückchen resistenter gegen die zahlreichen „Rattenfänger“ auf WO machen. Im Zusammenhang mit Animas Resources handelt es sich dabei um die „Musings“ vom 13. April 2009 und 03. November 2008.
Das kurze Fazit daraus:

- bestes Management

- „outstanding“ Beraterstab

- aussichtsreiche Projekte in einem goldreichen Gebiet mit historischem Abbau

- im sehr minenfreundlichen und politisch relativ stabilem Mexiko

- mit einer sehr guten (und bewährten!) Idee

- bei nur gut 30 Millionen derzeit handelbaren Aktien

- und damit einer aktuellen MarketCap von nur rund 20 Millionen CAD sprechen nicht die Sprache einer „gepushten“ Überbewertung, sondern zeigen mir eher das zukünftige Aufwärtspotential auf.

Einige Treffer im demnächst anstehenden 10.000-Bohrprogramm einhergehend mit einem allgemein positiven Marktumfeld für Goldexplorer (siehe Goldpreis) und wir könnten mit Animas Resources „goldigen“ Monaten entgegen gehen.

Meine Infos basierten natürlich nicht nur auf denen von Mickey Fulp und direkten Kontakten mit der IR, sondern auch auf der Website von Animas: http://www.animasresources.com/s/Home.asp

Sehr interessant finde ich die Tatsache, dass die Bob Bishop jüngst für ihren Beraterstab gewinnen konnten.

Vielleicht war der (oder seine Jünger) auch für den Kursanstieg in dieser Woche verantwortlich, der da völlig ohne relevante News plötzlich und für mich unerwartet über mich hereinbrach. War ich Anfang Juli noch für CAD 0,62 rein, so bin ich vorgestern und gestern im Schnitt zu CAD 0,88 erstmal gleich wieder raus. Näheres dazu in dem nun folgenden Update aus dem heutigen "M".:

2.5. Animas Resources = ANI

Hat jemand von Euch zugeschlagen? Kaufmöglichkeiten gab es zu 0,54 CAD am 16./17./20. und 21.07.2009 sowie für CAD 0,53 am 21.07.2009. Darüber hinaus gute Mengen im Bereich CAD 0,55/0,56. Verkaufsmöglichkeiten gab es bereits in dieser Woche bereits für mehr als den vollen CAD in der Spitze. In der Spitze 100 % Gewinn in weniger als zwei Wochen wären also möglich gewesen.

Mein eigener Einstand lag bei CAD 0,62 und es wurden genug Aktien auch im Bereich von CAD 0,85 bis 0,90 gehandelt, was für mich inkl. der Währungsgewinne ein schnelles Plus von knapp 45 % ausmacht. Eigentlich hatte ich ANI als den „langweiligsten“ Wert unter den jüngst vorgestellten vier „Goldies“ eingestuft - so kann man sich täuschen!

Aber wegen solcher Gelegenheiten hat „to_siam“ neben den langfristig positiven Aussichten auch investiert: Geht ein Wert ohne Grund plötzlich „ab“, denn einen solchen konnte ich hier auch unter Zuhilfenahme externer Quellen nicht finden, kursbewegende News gab es jedenfalls nicht, dann muss man auch mal schnelle Gewinne mitnehmen. Ich glaube nämlich nicht, dass dieser Anstieg schon dauerhaft sein wird. Eventuell wurde er von einigen „Jüngern“ Bob Bishops ausgelöst. Da außerdem noch in diesem Jahr die Aktien aus dem letzten PP zu CAD 0,35 freiwerden, sehe ich ANI durchaus noch einmal billiger im Verlaufe der nächsten Wochen und Monate.

Die Verkaufsentscheidung haben mir zwei „Begleitumstände“ dann allerdings etwas leichter gemacht. Zum einen bekam ich diese Woche in einer Email von „OttoRock“ seine folgende persönliche Meinung zur Strategie von ANI: „Company has always maintianed it has a shot at a big underground deposit... they make that call on geological interpretation. I've always been a bit suspicious of management strategy here.“ und darüber hinaus konnte ich via Stockwatch wunderschön beobachten, wie sich das Ask über CAD 0,90 mit dicken Blöcken füllte. Dort lag also die Verkaufsbereitschaft der Profis. Somit habe ich meinen Gewinn voll eingecasht, zumal ich daran glaube, noch deutlich billiger wieder reinzukommen. Und wenn ich doch nicht wieder billiger reinkomme, weil Bob Bishop die Aktie mit seinen Anhängern gleich bis CAD 2,00 hochziehen könnte? Oh, nur keine Sorge, „to_siam“ hat genug aussichtsreiche Alternativen auf der Watchlist...

Aber ich bin da recht zuversichtlich, dass es doch klappen wird. Die Umsätze gehen bereits wieder zurück und sollte die Nachfrage nicht wieder anziehen, so wird dem Sommer entsprechend das aktuell durchaus noch vorhandene Bid wohl Tag für Tag und Stück für Stück nach unten hin abgearbeitet werden.

Aber hier noch einmal ganz deutlich, damit keine Missverständnisse aufkommen: Mein Verkauf hat keine fundamentalen Gründe für mich, meine Recherche aus dem letzten „Mailer“ steht noch. Ich halte diesen kurzfristigen Anstieg in genau dieser Jahreszeit jedoch für etwas übertrieben und habe deshalb diese Position erstmal glattgestellt.

Animas Resources wurde leider noch nicht in Deutschland gelistet, der „Mailer“ hat aber noch einmal „gebettelt“. Sollte der betreffende Makler diese Zeilen hier lesen: Wenn der Handelsstart auch zäh und unter geringen Umsätzen verlaufen wird, langfristig betrachtet könnte es sich rechnen, dafür sollte alleine schon der Name „Bob Bishop“ sorgen.

[to_siam]

Habe ich zu früh und zu billig verkauft? Vielleicht:

Aber eine Vorwurf kann ich mir nicht machen, wenn ich mir die Tagesumsätze in dieser Woche so anschaue:


Your Portfolio Entries (high/low/close/change/volume):

C:ANI - ANIMAS RESOURCES LTD.
2009-07-31 V 0.95 0.85 0.90 +0.05 161865

2009-07-27 V 1.09 0.61 0.83 +0.20 254220


Das fing am Montag, dem 27. unerwartet, aber ganz stark an, um dann kontinuierlich bis Donnerstag abzunehmen. Gestern dann wieder anziehende Umsätze.

Was lernen wir aber auf jeden Fall daraus? Antwort ist natürlich nur für die gedacht, die das noch nicht wussten bzw. manchmal vergessen: Verkaufen bei diesen engen Werten immer nur dann, wenn auch entsprechende Stückzahlen nachgefragt werden. Ansonsten schickt man mit wenigen 10ks den Kurs deutlich nach unten.

[to_siam]

Hat eigentlich jemand diese Aktie auf dem Zettel behalten?

Ich ja, ich wollte ja gerne nach Auslaufen des CAD 0,35 PP´s günstig wieder rein, am besten mit einer 6 nach dem Komma, aber die letzten Tage rennt der Stock schon wieder wie blöd und das ohne News:

C:ANI - ANIMAS RESOURCES LTD.

Ob dafür (wieder) Bob Bishop "verantwortlich" ist?

Disclaimer: Bin derzeit nicht drin und würde die aktuellen Preise jetzt auch nicht bezahlen.

[to_siam]

Wer hat diese Aktie eigentlich weiter auf dem Radar behalten?

Ich, aber ich wurde enttäuscht, sehr sogar. Wie man hier lesen konnte, hatte ich nach schnellem Run bei rund 45 % Gewinn glatt gestellt und mit ANI auf die Watchlist gepackt.

Doch diese Aktie steigt ohne relevante News immer weiter, seit Thread-Reaktivierung in der Spitze um 135 %. Nun hatte ich Hoffnung, dass der Kurs nach Freiwerden der Shares aus dem CAD 0,35er PP etwas unter Druck kommen könnte, aber was passiert? Sie bleibt fest:




CAD 1,20 werde ich sicherlich nicht zahlen, dann spekuliere ich eben noch mal auf den Dezember. Aber diese Aktie ist ein Lehrstück, was gute Namen wie ausmachen können, insbesondere wenn sich auch ein Bob Bishop darunter befindet.

Ich werde den Weg von Animas weiter verfolgen, ob nun als Aktionär oder interessierter, hier kann man scheinbar in beiden Fällen lernen.

Zum einen gilt an dieser Stelle auch noch mal dem Threaderöffner "sparplan_b", der in einer sehr frühen Phase diesen interessanten Wert schon entdeckte und den Mut hatte, diesen ohne Push-Hintergrund in die öffentliche Diskussion zu stellen.

Und auch für mich persönlich ist es eine Genugtuung zu sehen, wie sich diese Aktie entwickelt.

[to_siam]

Das war dann wohl der Grund für den aktuellen Kursverlauf die Tage, die Ergebnisse sind doch recht ernüchternd. Aber was soll es, ich habe hier in eine Story investiert, der Kurs zog schon lange, lange VOR den (heutigen) News an und ich hatte dementsprechend eingecasht. Minen sind selten, daher sollte man bei außergeöhnlichen Anstiegen ohne News auch mal mutig verkaufen. Ist aber alles hier nachzulesen...

Uninteressant ist dieser Wert deshalb aber dennoch nicht, ich werde ihn weiter auf der WL behalten.

Dec 17, 2009 09:00 ETAnimas Resources Reports Assay Results from Toro-Gregorio Gold Target

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 17, 2009) - Animas Resources (TSX VENTURE:ANI) is pleased to report that of the 13 drill holes planned to test the extensive Toro – Gregorio sediment hosted gold target, seven are complete. Three angle holes were drilled to the southwest and four angle holes were drilled to the northeast which tested the target on roughly 300 meter spacing. All holes encountered varying amounts of decalcification in the favorable Mural Formation and all confirm a major structural fold that keeps the favorable stratigraphy nearer the surface than previously thought. Three of the seven holes penetrate into a high temperature hornfels altered package of sediments below a near-horizontal fault. There is important evidence that both the early hornfels units and the overlaying more weakly altered sediments are mineralized, yet there is strong evidence that there is post mineral movement along the fault. Several ages of precious metal mineralization are being documented.

Drill hole ARTG-003 encountered 9.6 meters of 5.5 grams per tonne gold extending under the San Ignacio historic pit in decalcified host rocks.

Drill hole ARTG-004 intercepted a long interval of decalcified sediments and while anomalous in the trace elements common in gold systems, the zone is not well mineralized in gold. Drill hole ARTG-007 has a 21 meter intercept grading 1.2 grams per tonne. We remain encouraged that the scale of the alteration and decalcification is large within the Toro – Gregorio area, our wide spaced drilling has yet to find the center of a system.

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS RESOURCES REPORTS ENCOURAGING ASSAY RESULTS FROM THE ESCONDIDA & PIRINOLA GOLD TARGETS AND THE TIGRE SKARN

Animas Resources has released the results from the six hole drilling program designed to test five conceptual, stand-alone targets outside of the main part of the Santa Teresa Mining District. The initial drilling is now complete on the Escondida, Pirinola, Enedina, Tigre and the SAG targets. Important gold intercepts at Escondida and Pirinola confirm the significance of these major through-going structures, their role in mineralization and the importance of structural intersections are potentially important targets worthy of follow up drilling. Significantly elevated zinc and molybdenum values also validate the idea that the El Tigre area has potential for skarn-type zinc and porphyry mineralization and may be worthy of additional work and/or drilling.

The total 2009 drilling program consisted of 5,534.2 meters in 13 holes. Seven of which were drilled in the Toro-Gregorio area and were reported in the December 17, 2009 News Release. The remaining six holes totaling 2,236.95 meters are reported here. Two holes were drilled at Pirinola Este, and one hole each at the Sag, El Tigre, Enedina, and Escondida Splay targets. Intercepts of more than 3 meters of greater than 0.1 grams of gold per ton are shown below. The holes at the Sag and Enedina targets did not contain significant gold intercepts.

The Escondida Splay hole (ARES-001) intersected strongly hornfelsed sedimentary rocks throughout its entire length and strongly anomalous gold was encountered from 243 meters to the bottom of the hole at 368 meters. Two intervals of 10-20 meters each contained approximately one-third of a gram of gold. These are very significant intervals of gold that will require further analysis and drilling to determine the importance and extent of this mineralization. This target is a major, east-west-trending, gold bearing structure where the best known host rocks remain untested.

Both of the Pirinola holes encountered significant intervals of gold mineralization including a 3.95 meter interval of 6.21 gpt Au in ARPR-005 within an interval of about 10 meters of 2.90 gpt Au. Deeper in this same hole, there is another 10 meter interval of 0.889 gpt Au. The Amelia -Pirinola gold mineralization is associated with a major east-west-trending fault that has been mapped on the surface for several kilometers.

Although the El Tigre hole contained only minor gold, although significant intervals of anomalous Mo, Zn, Bi, As, and Sb were intersected in strongly hornfelsed and locally skarned sedimentary rocks. This style of alteration and associated mineralization is common to the margins of major porphyry copper/molybdenum and intrusive-related zinc skarn systems. There are several zones of anomalous zinc throughout this hole including a 3.2 meter interval that averages 2.5% Zn. The entire hole contains anomalous molybdenum with a maximum value of 1075 ppm Mo. The bottom half of the hole also contains anomalous bismuth, arsenic, and antimony.

Gregory E. McKelvey, President of Animas, commented, "Our program to test several of the stand alone large targets resulted in verifying that El Tigre is a mineralized skarn system in a major altered area with base metal intercepts common to large skarn systems. This target is clearly worthy of follow up. One drill hole alone does not test a major target yet it is encouraging to have significant intercepts of halo elements common in large skarn and intrusive systems.

The major gold rich structures at Escondida, Pirinola and Viviana are also large valid large targets with real potential for good grades."

Animas is currently are completing a gravity survey centered on the known mineralized areas. The objective is to further refine the major skarn areas, and select specific drill locations for the Tigre, Escondida, Pirinola, and Viviana targets. The team is finishing a detailed review of the drill hole multi-element geochemistry, modeling the magnetics over select target areas and reviewing all the targets in light of the 2009 results. The drill rig remains on the property and the Company will announce the targets for drill testing upon completion of the gravity surveys.

Gregory E. McKelvey, President & CEO, further commented that, "We are fortunate to have the time over the holidays to review and use these new data to best design our next round of drilling."

ANIMAS RESOURCES REPORTS A NI 43-101 RESOURCE ESTIMATE FOR GOLDEN ARROW PROJECT

Animas Resources Ltd. has now filed a National Instrument 43-101-compliant technical resource estimate report on SEDAR for the Golden Arrow gold project located in Nye county, Nevada, dated June 9, 2010. This report was prepared by Mine Development Associates ("MDA") of Reno, Nevada and was authored by Mr. Steven Ristorcelli, CPG, of MDA, and Dr. Odin D. Christensen, CPG, as a consulting minerals geologist, both Qualified Persons as defined by Canadian National Instrument 43-101.

The Classified Mineral Resource report is quoted at a variable cut-off grade of 0.010 ounces gold per ton for oxidized material and 0.015 ounces gold per ton for non-oxidized material and consists of:


Gold Silver
grade Gold grade Silver
Classification Tons (opt) (ounces) (opt) (ounces)

Inferred 3,790,000 0.013 50,400 0.33 1,249,000



Animas is currently in the process of earning a 51% interest in the Golden Arrow gold property by spending $3.5 million over three years, and a 51% interest in the Kinsley Mountain gold property by spending $1.5 million over three years. Animas is the operator of these two projects.

The resources were modeled and estimated using a geological interpretation provided by Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. ("NEV"). Mineral domains were interpreted on NE-SW geological cross sections spaced at intervals varying at around 100 feet throughout the extent of the Golden Arrow mineralization. The mineral domain interpretations were then rectified to east-west cross sections spaced at 20-foot intervals. Estimation was done using inverse distance. Quality-control data generated by NEV during the 2008 drilling program were independently reviewed by MDA as part of the resource study. The Technical Report on the Golden Arrow Project dated June 9, 2010 can be found on Sedar at www.sedar.com, or on the Company's website at www.animasresources.com.

The Golden Arrow Property consists of 279 unpatented lode mining claims surrounding 17 patented lode mining claims covering a total area of 5,684 acres (2,300 hectares) located approximately 40 miles (60 km) east of Tonopah, Nevada. Certain claims are subject to an NSR.

The Golden Arrow deposit consists of two mineral centers called Hidden Hill and Gold Coin. The volcanic-rock-hosted gold-silver deposits include both low-sulfide high-angle quartz/gold veins and disseminated hot-springs-style gold mineralization. Mineralization is exposed at the surface at Gold Coin but Hidden Hill is covered by alluvium gravel.

Mineral Resources are not Reserves

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for minability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These mineral resource estimates are in the Measured, Indicated and Inferred mineral resource categories. These Inferred mineral resources are normally considered too speculative geologically for the application of economic considerations that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves; however they are allowed to be included in a preliminary economic assessment. There is also no certainty that the Inferred mineral resources will be converted to Measured and Indicated mineral resource categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves once economic considerations are applied.

Quality Assurance

The mineral resource estimate was completed by Mr. Steven Ristorcelli, CPG, of MDA, and Dr. Odin D. Christensen, CPG, as a consulting minerals geologist, and is based on geological interpretations supplied by NEV to MDA and subsequently modified by MDA. Mr. Ristorcelli is an independent qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 standards of disclosure for mineral projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Exploration update at Golden Arrow and Kinsley Mountain , Nevada

Animas is currently completing a program of regional sampling, gravity surveying and mapping on Kinsley Mountain. At Golden Arrow, a drill-target definition program is underway to identify the most favorable targets for resource expansion and identification of new gold targets.

Exploration update at Santa Gertrudis, Mexico

The drilling program is continuing at the Santa Gertrudis gold project in northern Mexico with the 4th hole currently underway. Results from this drill program are expected to be released later this summer.

NEVADA SUNRISE GOLD CORP. UPDATE ON KINSLEY MOUNTAIN GOLD PROPERTY, NEVADA

Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. has made progress in the field exploration program at the Kinsley Mountain project area in Nevada. The program is a joint exploration venture with Animas Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: ANI), the project operator. Highlights of the program include,



-- Purchased public domain aeromagnetics
-- Completed an extensive multi-element soil survey
-- Completed a ground gravity survey
-- Scanned historic data and building a comprehensive GIS data base
-- Advanced the geologic mapping and selective sampling
-- Completed an environmental audit



The Kinsley Mountain property is located in the Basin and Range of eastern Elko County, Nevada, between the towns of Ely and Wendover. The property consists of 141 unpatented lode mining claims covering an area of approximately 1,136 hectares (2,807 acres). Gold mineralization is hosted with a section of Cambrian-age sedimentary rock units including limestone, dolomite and shale. This mineralization exhibits characteristics similar to other sedimentary-rock hosted "Carlin type" gold deposits in northern Nevada. Gold was discovered at Kinsley Mountain in the 1980's, and Alta Gold produced some 135,000 ounces of gold from oxidized material mined from a number of small open pits. The greater property area has not had systematic exploration.


Animas, the project operator, has completed the following:


-- Magee Geophysical Services of Reno Nevada completed a 424 station
property-wide gravity geophysical survey.
-- Enviro-scientists completed an environmental due diligence report.
-- North American Exploration, of Kaysville Utah, completed a property-wide
soil geochemical survey. A total of 1,610 samples were analyzed by ALS
Chemex for multi-element geochemistry.
-- The preparation of a new geological map of the property, with full
consideration of the geological characteristics of recent gold
discoveries in nearby areas, is nearly 75 % complete and includes
selective rock chip sampling. Map attributes will be selected to
highlight what we understand to be diagnostic features at the West
Pequop, Long Canyon and Kings Canyon deposits, which occur in similar
stratigraphy on the same "trend". The geologists will be encouraged to
collect rock-chip geochemical samples at their discretion. They will
also complete drainage-sediment sampling of the northern Kinsley Range
surrounding the project property.
-- Animas purchased propriety regional aeromagnetic survey data for the
region surrounding Kinsley Mountain from GETECH of Denver Colorado. This
is 1000-foot draped data acquired by PRJ in 1987- 1988 with a 1.5 x 1.5
mile traverse interval.
-- GEOMAX is under contract to build and maintain a complete exploration
Geographic Information System (GIS) database for the Kinsley Mountain
project. This includes the compilation and integration of all technical
information within a GIS for interpretation and exploration targeting.
-- Precision Document Imaging of Reno Nevada scanned more than 4,000
individual documents into a searchable computer-based archive.




Nevada Sunrise and Animas signed the definitive agreement for Kinsley Mountain on June 30, 2010.

Steven Ristorcelli, Odin Christensen, and the staff of Mine Development Associates completed an updated Technical Report on the Golden Arrow property addressed to Animas. The report was filed with Canadian securities regulators on June 9 and is available on SEDAR. http://www.sedar.com.

Zonge Geosciences Inc. completed a gradient array IP/resistivity survey at Golden Arrow. The survey covered 6 defined blocks totaling about 9.3 square kilometers and approximately 55 line kilometers, with lines at 100 and 200 meter spacing. The survey covered Gold Coin, Hidden Hill, the Page fault, and the geochemical target to the southeast of Confidence Mountain. Preliminary images reveal considerable texture reflecting the complex underlying geology. Survey results have been obtained and are currently being evaluated.

Durango Geophysical Operations ("DGO") completed a Reconnaissance IP (RIP) survey of the entire Golden Arrow property. This comprised 4 separate set up arrays, one in each of the quadrants of the property, to provide a property-wide test for large, physically distinct, exploration targets. DGO also completed a single, 1.8 kilometer line of dipole-dipole IP, crossing the Hidden Hill and Gold Coin mineral centers. The results of all the geophysical surveys are being evaluated and will be integrated with the geological database.

Animas selected Major Drilling and Envirotech Drilling LLC as drill contractors for the diamond core and reverse circulation drilling, respectively, at Golden Arrow. Drilling should begin about September 1.

Gregory E. McKelvey, President of Animas Resources Ltd., commented: "our program at Golden Arrow is to use the extensive geophysical data available including gravity, IP and regional magnetic to help plan and guide the upcoming drilling program designed to identify new centers of gold mineralization as well as test several targets with potential for much larger deposits. We are fortunate to have Dr. Odin Christensen leading this effort."

Plans for advancing the targets include a review and targeting session in mid-July, integration of all the new data into the existing GIS program, fencing and securing the open cuts, shafts, and holes, and drilling the best targets starting in September.

ANIMAS RESOURCES ENCOUNTERS MOLYBDENUM SYSTEM AT EL TIGRE, STARTS NEW NI43-101 REPORT AND UPDATES ON ARIEL CONCESSIONS

Animas Resources Ltd. has made significant progress in its field exploration program at El Tigre, Santa Gertrudis, Mexico.

Six drill holes (AREN-001 and ARET-001 through 005) and geological mapping/geochemical sampling of the surface exposures at the El Tigre prospect have identified what appears to be an igneous intrusive center with related molybdenum mineralization. Felsic intrusives and intrusive breccias with a variety of quartz porphyry clasts indicate that multiple intrusive events with related molybdenum mineralization are present at El Tigre. Numerous cross-cutting veins and igneous relations indicate that this is potentially a complex molybdenum system. All of the drill holes encountered strongly anomalous molybdenum, and surface sampling has defined an extensive area of anomalous molybdenum in soils and rock-chip samples. Trace element geochemistry from core and soil sampling reveal a picture that is supportive of a potential significant area of molybdenum mineralization. Dr. Roger C. Steininger, an industry respected molybdenum expert, in collaboration with John R. Wilson, Jefferson Chambers and Bryan MacFarlane, is synthesizing the extensive database for the area and will produce a report, with recommendations, outlining the next level of exploration to fully define the area's potential. Once all the relevant analyses are received, reviewed and integrated, a report will be released documenting the significance and business alternatives open to Animas to maximize the best value to our shareholders.

Animas initially targeted the El Tigre area for the gold and base metal skarn potential. The alteration system is exposed over 6 square kilometers with only one, volumetrically insignificant known intrusive. This program primarily targeted the down-dip, favorable sedimentary units in the area of skarn, but subsequently the inferred center of alteration, skarnification, and anomalous geochemistry (Mo, Zn, Mn, K) was targeted for exploration. One hole was specifically targeted to search for evidence of an intrusive center (ARET-004). During late 2009 and 2010, at El Tigre, Animas completed six diamond drill holes totaling 2,677.8 meters, two short di pole di pole IP lines and a gravity survey. Some of the analytical work on drill hole samples is still pending.

Gregory E. McKelvey, President of Animas Resources Ltd. commented: "When we first started at Santa Gertrudis, we acknowledged that the Santa Teresa Mining District was first explored as a tungsten district. While there remains considerable gold potential, it is a bit of a surprise to encounter an intrusive center with strong evidence of molybdenum potential. With the technical report due from Dr. Steininger, et. al. Animas will be in a good position to determine what might be the best way to evaluate this new occurrence."

Mr. Noble contracted for new NI 43-101 report:

Animas also has contracted Mr. Alan Noble P.E. to review and update several of the gold deposits at Santa Gertrudis to convert historic resources to NI 43-101 compliant resources. Dr. Hugh Miller is consolidating the information on the current state of heap leaching potential at Santa Gertrudis. We expect a revised NI 43-101 to result from Mr. Noble's work. The report from Dr. Miller will likely be used as the basis for Animas to decide the direction that the company may wish to consider such as a small scale gold production or vending / contracting a qualified party to mine some of the known gold deposits.

Ariel update:

Geologic mapping and sampling is currently in progress on the Ariel prospect, located approximately 44 kilometers east-southeast of the town of Nacozari, Sonora. Geologically the area is comprised of quartz-poor andesitic volcanics and overlying, more felsic tuffs. A very large alteration/mineralization system is present on the Ariel concessions and is approximately 4-5 kilometers in length (more or less in a north-south direction) and approximately 2-3 kilometers wide. The volcanic rocks within this zone of alteration/mineralization are strongly altered to pervasive clay-(+/-sericite?) and goethite-hematite after 2-5 percent disseminated greater than veinlet controlled pyrite. The Ariel alteration system is large and strong, and the current mapping and sampling should define the extent of the system and its mineral potential.

Golden Arrow / Kinsley Mountain Update:

The final option agreements for Golden Arrow and Kinsley Mountain have also been executed on June 30, 2010.

ANIMAS RESOURCES UPDATES ON GOLDEN ARROW, NEVADA

Exploration drilling at Animas Resources Ltd.'s Golden Arrow project has been completed. The drilling program included diamond core holes for 3,785 feet drilled by Major Drilling and 10 reverse-circulation drill holes for 10,400 feet drilled by Envirotech Drilling. Drill core has been saw-split, and all drill samples are being analyzed for gold and multielement geochemistry by American Assay Laboratories of Sparks, Nevada. The drilling program was designed to test both for additional centers of "hot-springs style" gold mineralization similar to resources already defined on the property, as well as for "Round Mountain-style" disseminated gold mineralization near the volcanic caldera margin within poorly-welded rhyolite tuff.

A NI 43-101-compliant Technical Resource Estimate Report for the Golden Arrow gold project dated June 9, 2010 can be found on www.sedar.com and on the Company's website.

Gregory E. McKelvey, President of Animas Resources Ltd. commented: "Drilling encountered rock exhibiting visual evidence of strong hydrothermal alteration, however until assays are received, it is impossible to know for sure if our gold target concepts are valid. The technical information received represents a significant advancement for this exciting gold exploration project."

ANIMAS ANNOUNCES THREE-FOLD INCREASE IN GOLD RESOURCE ESTIMATES FOR THE SANTA GERTUDIS PROJECT FROM THE PRIOR NI 43-101 REPORT
Animas Resources Ltd. is pleased to report that Mr. Alan Noble, P.E., Principal Engineer for Ore Reserves Engineering (ORE), completed a review and updated several of the historic gold resource estimates at Santa Gertrudis to NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates. The updated NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates for seven gold deposits at Santa Gertrudis, plus the previous estimate for the Cristina deposit, contain inferred resources of 557,000 ounces of gold. The updated resource estimates represent an increase of over 300% from the NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate filed on July 2, 2009 and are all in the inferred resource category, as summarized in Table 1, and are consistent with historical resources estimates for these deposits. A revised NI 43-101 Technical Report to be filed on www.sedar.com within 45 days.

1. CIM definition standards were followed for the resource category
estimates.
2. The 2010 resource models by O.R.E. use inverse-distance-power (IDP)
grade estimation within three-dimensional block models with mineralized
envelopes defined by wire-framed solids. Grade zones were defined using
nearest-neighbor assignment. A block size of 2x2x2-meters was used for
the block models.
3. A total of 48,815.47 meters of drilling in 574 drill holes were used in
the 2010 resource estimates by O.R.E. The majority of the drilling is
reverse circulation (RC) drilling.
4. Dilution is included for a minimum mining width of 2.0 m in the 2010
estimates O.R.E. Estimates for reserves will require additional dilution
depending on the mining method and selectivity.
5. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have economic
viability
6. Resources may contain sulfide material that may be significantly less
economically viable than oxide material.
7. The 2009 resource model for Cristina, by MDA, used IDP grade estimation
within mineral zone outlines interpreted on N60 degrees E looking cross-
sections. A block size of 6x6m horizontally and 3m vertically was used
for the block model.
8. A total 7,159 meters of drilling in 13 core holes and 58 RC holes were
used for the Cristina estimate.
9. MDA resource parameters/methodology are detailed in the previously
released Animas NI 43-101 report on Santa Gertrudis.
10. Additional drilling and geologic modeling will be necessary to upgrade
these resources to indicated or measured status.

Cutoff Grade & Metallurgy
The resource size is sensitive to an assumed cut-off grade, which is, in turn, very sensitive to metallurgical operating costs. Cuff-off grades used in this study are reasonable given historic operating data and current market conditions.
Mineral Resources are not Reserves
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for minability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These mineral resource estimates are inferred mineral resources that are normally considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that these inferred mineral resources will be converted to measured and indicated mineral resource categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves once economic considerations are applied.
Quality Assurance
The mineral resource estimate was completed by Mr. Alan C. Noble, P.E., principal engineer of Ore Reserves Engineering, and is based on geological interpretations supplied by the Company to ORE and subsequently modified by ORE. Mr. Noble is an independent qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 standards of disclosure for mineral projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators and has verified the data disclosed in this release.
Gregory E. McKelvey, President of Animas Resources Ltd. commented: "We are pleased that the gold resources in these deposits are remarkably close to the historic resources. We focused on the largest of the known deposits with an eye to identifying which deposits might be potentially considered for gold production."

ANIMAS ANNOUNCES GOLDEN ARROW DRILLING RESULTS

Animas Resources Ltd. has released its gold and multi-element analytical results for a 16 drill-hole exploration program completed at the Golden Arrow gold-silver prospect Nevada. No intervals of substantial gold mineralization were encountered, but several holes encountered anomalous gold and pathfinder element enrichments in strongly-altered volcanic rock that must be interpreted within the larger geological setting:

The only two multi-sample gold Intervals over 1 gram per tonne gold (g/t Au): in the 14,185 feet of drilling are:

(these intercepts are observed to be a limonite-bearing fracture zones)


A Technical Report on the Golden Arrow Project dated June 9, 2010 can be found on Sedar at www.sedar.com or on the Company's website at www.animasresources.com. The resource estimate in the Technical Report uses a variable cut-off grade of 0.010 ounces per ton (opt) gold for oxide material and 0.015 opt gold for non-oxidized material and consists of:

-- A measured and indicated resource of 12,172,000 tons with an average grade of 0.024 opt Au, and an average silver grade of 0.33 opt Ag containing 296,500 ounces of gold and 4,008,800 ounces of silver.

-- An inferred resource of 3,790,000 tons at an average grade of 0.013 opt Au, and an average grade of 0.33 opt Ag containing 50,400 ounces of gold and 1,249,000 ounces of silver.

The objective of the 2010 drill program was to augment this defined resource through discovery of additional new centers of mineralization. Exploration drill holes were widely-spaced over an area of approximately 2 square miles (see locations on accompanying map). The drilling program was comprised of four diamond core holes totaling 3,785 feet and ten reverse-circulation drill holes totaling 10,400 feet. Analytical work was done by American Assay Laboratories Inc, of Sparks Nevada. Completion of the drilling program satisfies the work commitment of Animas to Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation. Preparation of final technical reports will involve integrated interpretation of drill-hole geology and geochemistry in the context of the district geological setting.

Gregory E. McKelvey, President of Animas Resources Ltd. commented: "The program adequately and effectively tested a number of areas for large-scale disseminated gold mineralization and targets similar to the known deposits at Gold Coin and Hidden Hill. We continue to look to acquire high quality targets that have large deposit potential that our exploration teams can quickly and efficiently identify and effectively test."

Animas has received considerable interest in both the gold resources and the molybdenum potential at its Santa Gertrudis property in Sonora Mexico. Several substantial and producing companies are taking a close look at the data and property.

The Mercenary Geologist’s Gold Review: Q4 2010

A Monday Morning Musing from Mickey the Mercenary Geologist

[e-mail]

December 27, 2010

Quelle:

***

Our final company is Animas Resources Inc (ANI.V). Although not a sponsor, ANI is a website affiliate
and one of my core junior resource investments. I have been a shareholder since its pre-IPO financing and
participated in three subsequent private placements. I wrote about ANI twice (Mercenary Musing,
November 3, 2008); Mercenary Musing, April 13, 2009) in addition to the July 23 update.

Although Animas has an impeccable group of people in its management, technical team, advisors, and
strategic investors, a tight share structure, and prospective gold projects in Mexico and Nevada, it has
continually disappointed with drill results. It was a 32 cent stock on July 23, went to 54 cents, and now is
back to 28.5 cents with its latest drilling bust at Golden Arrow, Nevada. ANI has working capital of $1.4
million.

Here’s the six month chart:



Since our update, Animas has released the following material news:

• It announced a molybdenum porphyry system was encountered while drilling for gold at its Santa
Gertrudis, Sonora, Mexico property.

• It completed a 35 cent private placement with insiders and strategic investors to raise $1.7
million.

• It announced conversion of historic resources to 43-101 qualified inferred resources in the Santa
Gertrudis district; in whole containing 557,000 ounces in nine small deposits.

• It announced that no significant gold was found in 16 holes on its Round Mountain-style Golden
Arrow Joint Venture in south-central Nevada.

After recent drill failures at Santa Gertrudis and Golden Arrow, Animas has one project with potential for
a large gold discovery remaining on its books: the former Kinsley Mountain mine in northeast Nevada. I
am bullish on its geological potential in a Long Canyon-type target that will be drilled in summer 2011.

However, in my opinion Animas requires new projects and/or a change of corporate direction to be
successful and reward its dedicated shareholders.
In October 2008 I urged the company to monetize its numerous small deposits at Santa Gertrudis by
vending to active miners in Mexico with production experience in low tonnage, open pit, heap leach gold
mines. Although my suggested business plan has not been implemented to date, I trust that the company
will advance on that front in the near future.

Meanwhile, we await drill results from Kinsley Mountain late next summer. I have not sold a share of
Animas Resources since early March 2008 when it traded above $1.50. I have bought five times on
weakness in the past two and a half years. But I will be honest with you and state that my patience is
growing thin.

Animas estimates Santa Gertrudis inferred resource

2011-01-05 09:12 ET - News Release

Mr. Gregory McKelvey reports

ANIMAS FILES RESOURCE ESTIMATE REPORT FOR SANTA GERTUDIS PROJECT

Animas Resources Ltd. has now filed the National Instrument 43-101 technical report, entitled "Technical Report And Resource Estimate on the Santa Gertrudis Gold Project, Sonora, Mexico," dated Dec. 31, 2010, on SEDAR for the Santa Gertrudis project located in Sonora, Mexico. This report was prepared by Alan Noble, PE, principal engineer for Ore Reserves Engineering (ORE), along with Dr. Roger C. Steininger and Gregory E. McKelvey as qualified persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and John R. Wilson as vice-president of exploration of the company.

The updated NI 43-101-compliant resource estimates for seven gold deposits at Santa Gertrudis, plus the previous estimate for the Cristina deposit, contain inferred resources of 557,000 ounces of gold. The updated resource estimates represent an increase of over 300 per cent from the NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate filed on July 2, 2009 ("Technical Report on the Santa Gertrudis Gold Project, Sonora, Mexico," dated May 1, 2009, "Ristorcelli, 2009"), all of which are in the inferred resource category, as summarized in a table, and are consistent with historical resources estimates for these deposits.

(10) Additional drilling and geologic modelling will be necessary to upgrade
these resources to the indicated or measured category.

The newly filed NI 43-101 report also identifies 14 other near-surface gold concentrations that represent exploration targets that might result in the discovery of additional gold deposits. The document also outlines the potential for significant molybdenum mineralization in the El Tigre area.

Cut-off grade and metallurgy

The resource size is sensitive to an assumed cut-off grade, which is, in turn, very sensitive to metallurgical operating costs. Cut-off grades used in this study are reasonable given historic operating data and current market conditions.
