Animas Responds to Marlin News and Sets Date for Special Meeting

Animas Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ANI) is responding to the announcement this
morning by Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. ("Marlin") that it intends to make an offer
to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Animas at $0.10 per share. It
should be noted that Marlin's press release does not constitute a formal offer
and until such time as a takeover bid circular is prepared and mailed to
shareholders, there is no offer.


Animas' Board of Directors will review and carefully consider any offer received
from Marlin and intends to engage a financial advisor to assist it in this
process. Upon receipt of an offer, Animas' board will make a recommendation to
its shareholders in connection with the offer as required by securities
legislation. It is noted that the proposed terms of the offer from Marlin do not
include any NSR or payment in lieu of an NSR. The agreement with GoGold
Resources Inc. ("GoGold") includes a 3% NSR royalty, which is an important and
valuable component of the transaction with GoGold. 


The news release from Marlin contains at least one factual misstatement. Animas
did, in fact, discuss the transaction and their bid for the Santa Gertrudis Gold
Project with Marlin on several occasions, including asking Marlin to remove
their requirement for further due diligence as had GoGold prior to signing the
agreement with GoGold. Marlin did not alter their offer and Animas' board
elected to proceed with the offer from GoGold who were ready to conclude the
transaction in an expeditious manner by exercising their right to match the
Marlin bid. 


Mark T. Brown, President & CEO, stated that "For some time now our major
shareholders have felt that Animas' shares have been significantly undervalued
and we began seeking a group to unlock the value of the Santa Gertrudis Gold
Project by putting the mine back into production. After having several groups
visit the project, GoGold made the first offer and we began negotiating with
them and got a good understanding of their ability to put this mine back into
production. Understanding their production ability was a key component to the
transaction and Animas agreed to take back a reasonably high 3% NSR royalty from
future production. The major shareholders of Animas have stated in the past that
simply cashing out of the Animas shares at a time when we were significantly
undervalued did not make sense." 


The interests of the shareholders and management are closely aligned considering
that Animas management owns approximately 7% of the Company. Animas' management
and Board of Directors will continue to work to get the very best value for the
shareholders of Animas. 


In the meantime, Animas has scheduled to have a Special Meeting on February 7,
2014 to seek shareholder approval of the transaction with GoGold as announced on
December 4, 2013.
