Animas Resources Commences Santa Gertrudis Drilling program

 
Highlights:
  • 3,000± meter core drilling program started at El Tigre
  • Epithermal targets being reviewed
  • Two companies reviewing the mine for leach potential
Animas Resources (TSX.V: ANI) is pleased to announce it has started the 2010, 3,000± meter core drilling program. The integration of the gravity, Induced Polarization and geochemical/geological data verifies that the El Tigre area has potential for proximal base metal skarn, potentially distal precious metal, and porphyry-hosted mineralization. The drill holes sited are designed to explore for the causative intrusive and proximal skarn mineralization. The distal gold potential will be considered as part of the review of the non NI 43-101 compliant resource reviews.

Additional targets also are under consideration and include extensions of the Cristina epithermal gold mineralization to the north and the potentially bonanza-grade roots of this system. Additionally, several other targets are under detailed review and may be drilled if large tonnage potential can be inferred.

Review of Mine for Leach potential

Animas has signed confidentially agreements with two companies permitting each to review the mine for leach potential of the district. In addition to the NI 43-101 compliant resources at the La Cristina deposit, the district has non-compliant historic resources and existing lined leach pads. Animas also is considering commissioning a new resource review to potentially update some of the historic resources.
Gregory E. McKelvey, President of Animas, commented "We are excited to test the large tonnage potential El Tigre targets and continues to delineate other quality targets for additional drilling". He further commented "we have known from the beginning that the district has important potential for mine for leach material and now that the principle focus for large discoveries is not spatially in the areas of known oxide resources and historic occurrence, it is a good time to entertain serious reviews of the leach potential."
