VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 26, 2011) - Animas Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ANI) shareholders have now approved the creation of a new control person by way of a private placement which will raise $3.4 million for Animas to advance the Santa Gertrudis Gold Project in Mexico.

On August 31, 2011 Animas announced that it had agreed to raise the $3.4 million by way of a non-brokered private placement of Units at $0.20 per Unit. Mr. Ernesto Echavarria is the sole purchaser of the Units and, subject to shareholder approval, will become a 39.1% shareholder of Animas.

Animas believes that Mr. Echavarria's involvement, along with the new strategic plan announced on August 31, 2011, will be a significant benefit to all shareholders of Animas.

The private placement will be filed for approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and will be closed shortly thereafter.
