Mexico: World's fastest developing mining countries
Santa Gertrudis - 720,000 ounces of gold : Mapped and identified six major project areas.
Animas Resources (TSX.V: ANI) is a North American exploration company with diversified mining interests in one of the world's fastest developing mining countries, Mexico. The management group, with its significant and broad experience in the mining industry, plans to expand Animas Resources' reserves through development, discovery, and acquisition of high quality, precious and industrial metal properties.
Building from the historic resource base at the Santa Gertrudis deposit (within a 214 sq. mile concession), the company will strategically expand the near surface and deeper resources to the economic decision points that increase shareholder value.
The company will also evaluate numerous targets within its 296 sq. Kilometer Shirley concession with the goal of generating joint venture opportunities.
