Anglo Swiss Resources Acquires 52,459 Acres.


VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Proximal to Peregrine Diamonds DO-27 Pipe and the Diavik Diamond Mine The Diavik Diamond Mine is a diamond mine in the North Slave Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada, about  km ( mi) north of Yellowknife.[2] It has become an important part of the regional economy, employing 700, grossing C$100 million in sales, and  

Diamond Claims Increased to 160,000 Acres, Lac De Gras Lac de Gras is a lake approximately 300 km north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Lac de Gras was the centre of the Canadian diamond rush of the 1990s. There are two working diamond mines in the area, Ekati Diamond Mine, and Diavik Diamond Mine. , NWT NWT or N.W.T.

Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ASW)(OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
:ASWRF)(BERLIN:AMO) is pleased to report it has entered into an agreement with Impala impala, species of antelope, Aepyceros melampus, closely related to the gazelle and found in the savannah and bush country of E and S Africa. It is the antelope most commonly depicted in illustrations and in motion pictures.  Resources Inc. a private B.C. company, whereby Anglo Swiss has acquired a 100% interest to 25 mineral claims (MS 1-25), covering approximately 52,459 acres in the diamond producing area of Lac de Gras, NWT.

This acquisition is located approximately 35 kilometers southeast of the Diavik Diamond Mine and is proximal to the DO-27 Kimberlite currently the focus of detailed exploration by Peregrine Diamonds et al. The Company's new claims cover KIM (kimberlite indicator minerals) anomalies and airborne geophysical anomalies which require further work to prioritize drill targets.

Recent results from the Peregrine DO-27 Pipe were released with 136 carats recovered from 151.3 tonnes of kimberlite. One parcel of 108.5 tonnes of kimberlite yielded 0.98 carat per tonne averaging $68 (US) per carat and a smaller parcel of 42.8 tonnes of kimberlite yielded 0.70 carats per tonne ranging from $32.34 (US) per carat to a high of $35.36 (US) per carat.

Anglo Swiss is an exploration company focused on locating diamond-bearing kimberlites in the Lac de Gras area, NWT, Canada. The Company's philosophy is to obtain majority ownership of under-explored areas with unexplained kimberlite indicator mineral trains ("KIM's") and/or kimberlite targets near known kimberlites and diamond mining operations.

Anglo Swiss has now acquired four projects which meet the acquisition criteria. Two adjacent properties are located near Lac de Gras and lie approximately 60 kilometers north of the Ekati Diamond Mine The Ekati Diamond Mine is Canada's first diamond mine. It is located near Lac de Gras at,  km ( mi) north-east of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, and about  km ( mi) south of the Arctic circle. Ekati is a joint venture between BHP Billiton Diamonds Inc. , and 90 kilometers north of the Diavik Diamond Mine, Canada's first two diamond mines. These claim groups total 91,856 acres and host the LI 201 diamondiferous kimberlite. These claims were originally explored during the first phase of diamond exploration during the staking rush in the 1990's which followed the discovery of the diamond rich kimberlites now part of the Ekati Mine.

The fourth Anglo Swiss diamond project, known as the "Fishing Lake property", lies some 110 kilometers north of Yellowknife, NWT, toward the western margin of the Slave Craton. The Fishing Lake property covers 16,631 acres and covers a region containing the probable source area for kimberlite indicator mineral trains identified during the first stage of exploration for diamonds on the Slave Craton.

These four claim groups cover over 160,000 acres and are the probable source areas for unresolved KIM trains and include known diamondiferous kimberlite which warrants additional exploration.

Anglo Swiss is currently compiling new and existing information from public and private sources for these claims, and has completed a program of selected till sampling in the field to better prioritize further exploration and drill targets. Results will be announced shortly.

In light of the close proximity to producing diamond mines, the presence of numerous diamondiferous kimberlites and KIM's, management is of the opinion that these properties are highly prospective for the further discovery of diamonds and that the acquisition of these claims significantly enhances the Company's property position in the Lac de Gras region.

Anglo Swiss will continue to evaluate other diamond properties within the Lac de Gras/Slave Craton NWT area that meet its acquisition criteria. Anglo Swiss intends to position itself as a majority holder of claims of merit in under-explored areas with unexplained kimberlite indicator mineral trains and/or kimberlite targets near known kimberlites and diamond mining operations.

This recent acquisition is subject to Exchange approval and requires the Company to make cash payments totaling $50,000 and issuing 2,000,000 shares of Anglo Swiss to the vendors. The Vendors retain a 2% gross overriding royalty ("GORR GORR Gross Overriding Royalty ") on any diamond production, of which the Company may purchase 1% point for $1,000,000. A kimberlite "discovery bonus" is included by which the Company will pay to the Vendors 250,000 common shares for each new kimberlite discovered, to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares.

Anglo Swiss has three other exploration projects:

- 100% of the 76,570 acre McAllister property which has been identified as the host of a potential diamondiferous lamproite located in south-eastern British Columbia,

- the historic Kenville Gold Mine located near Nelson, British Columbia
