| December 17, 2009 Animas Resources Reports Assay Results from Toro -- Gregorio Gold Target | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Animas Resources (TSX.V: 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. Summary of drill hole intercept of greater than 0.100 gpt over more than 2 meters
The following stratiform results for holes ARTG 003 and 004 show the geology, structure, iron-oxide, sulphide, decalcification, RQD, gold, Ag, As, Sb, Pb, Zn Drilling on the conceptual targets on the stand alone targets Escondida, Pirinola, Endina, Tigre and the SAG continues. The second drill should finish its work by the end of 2009 and the results from all the drilling can be reviewed and unutilized early in 2010. About Animas Resources Ltd.
