	January 16, 2009 Animas Resources Amends Don Victor Option Agreement
	Animas Resources Ltd. ("Animas" or the "Company") (TSX.V: ANI) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with one of its optionors to amend certain terms of an option agreement signed on July 24, 2007 to purchase three mineral claims which comprise a part of the Santa Gertrudis Property. The terms of the amended option agreement provides Animas with the ability to elect to make the option payments over the next four years either in cash, or in the Company's common shares, or a combination of both. The original option agreement required the option payments to be made in specific amounts of cash and common shares and did not allow the flexibility which the amended agreement now provides. The amounts and timing of the remaining payments to be made over the next four years totaling US$855,000 have not been changed. "By having the option to pay the option payments in common shares of the Company, it allows us to focus our resources on discovery through field work and testing of the best targets." said Gregory E. McKelvey. The amended agreement is subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange. About Animas Resources Ltd.
