ANI Animas Resources Ltd.

Animas Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ANI) is pleased to announce that Sonora State
(Mexico) governmental authorities have granted the Company Provisional
Restitution of the disputed lands within the Santa Gertrudis mining district
(Santa Gertrudis Gold Project). This action in effect gives the Company complete
physical control of and access to the disputed properties, and it is considered
to be a major advancement towards a favorable, final resolution of the surface
land tenure issues in the area.


Provisional Restitution

During the week of 17 June 2012, the Sonora State Attorney General (Procurador)
Lic. Carlos Navarro ordered the Ministerio Publico in Magdalena to grant Animas
Provsional Restitution (Restitucion Provisional) of all disputed lands within
the Santa Gertrudis mining district. Subsequently, on 23 June 2012, authorities
from the Ministerio Publico in Magdalena, Sonora accompanied by police officials
from the PEI (Policia Estatal Investigadora) opened all access routes to the
disputed properties, and it is believed that on 25 June 2012 the Ejido Seis de
Enero (the local "Ejido" who control land access in this area) and a local
mining promoter were officially notified of the Ministerio's actions.


While it has never been disputed that Animas owns all mineral rights within the
conflict area, the existing surface access agreement that Animas has with the
local Ejido was being violated and access to the property was blocked by new
fences.


While the Restitucion Provisional does not completely resolve the surface land
issues at Santa Gertrudis, the case is now free to move on to the State court
system where Animas is likely to win the case.


Immediately subsequent to the Restitucion Provisional, Animas began a program of
historic heap leach sampling for the purpose of evaluating the economic
viability of restarting gold production from the existing heap leach pads at
Santa Gertrudis.
