Animas Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: ANI) announces that, in line with the Company’s focus on moving the Santa Gertrudis Gold Project towards a production plan, the Company has reduced its operating costs, granted options to a recently appointed director who is also a mining engineer, and dropped a project which is no longer considered a core project.

Reduction in Operating Costs

Animas has continued to work on certain aspects of the Santa Gertrudis gold project and has reduced overhead and operating costs in all other areas. Cost reductions will continue so that the funds on hand can be focused on the Santa Gertrudis Gold Project.

Ariel

The Company has decided to cancel its option agreement on the Ariel copper property in north Mexico. The Ariel property has a very large alteration/mineralization system which has potential but is an early stage exploration property.

As part of the termination agreement, the Company will pay the owner of Ariel US$25,000 in lieu of all other payments required by the agreement.

Grant of Options

Board of Directors has approved a grant of 100,000 options to a new director at $0.10 expiring on November 8, 2017.
