Animas Updates on Ejido Election and Santa Gertrudis

Animas Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ANI) is pleased to announce that during July
the Seis de Enero Ejido at Santa Gertrudis elected a new group of senior Ejido
officers. Animas is committed to working with the new officers to ensure that
the Santa Gertrudis Gold Project will advance and that the ejido members will
benefit as the project moves forward. In accordance with this plan, the Company
plans to make the 2013 rental payment for the heap leach area in the very near
future. All previous payments under the existing surface access agreement have
been made to the Ejido and those payments that Animas had previously paid into
court have been released upon the Ejido signing court documents indicating that
the current surface access agreement is in good standing with the Ejido. 


Animas' longer term plan is to bring the project back into production, and
towards this end, the Company will continue working with the Ejido towards
finalizing a new surface agreement that will allow for future gold mining
operations. 


In line with the Company's plans to bring the project back into production,
Animas has been talking to several significant mining companies about possible
joint venture production funding scenarios. To date, multiple project tours have
been given, confidentiality agreements signed, and data transferred and
reviewed. These discussions are at an early stage, and Animas also continues to
look at options to internally move the project towards production. 


John R. Wilson, President and CEO commented that "The Ejido relations have much
improved and the pirate miner has disappeared but there is still work to be done
to improve community relations and advance the project at a much faster rate
than over the past year, and Animas is committed to doing just that."
