VANCOUVER - Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ASW.V) (OTCBB: ASWRF.OB) (BERLIN: AMO.BE) announces that the Company has began an extensive underground exploration program at its historic Kenville Gold Mine near Nelson BC. The purpose of this program is to re-establish a NI 43-101 compliant gold mineral resource on the 257 level, the lowest adit level in the mine. The previous resource calculations on the Kenville Gold Mine pre-date the implementation of NI 43-101.

The first stage of the program is underway, which is to reestablish mine survey control through out the 257 level. This stage also includes review of the previous underground mapping, assay and drill hole logs, old reports, and research into other historical data (much of which has been found at the Chamber of Mines of Eastern British Columbia in Nelson).

The preliminary underground geological mapping and the first 14 samples of a 100 chip-sampling program have been completed. The following table shows the results of the gold, silver and copper assays for the initial chip samples. These chip samples were taken on un-mined stope faces and along the lower base of access drifts, which intersect the quartz veins.

Because of the above encouraging results, an extensive chip sample program will commence in May 2009. Work is also continuing on the redesigned Mill which upon completion this summer will have a 200 tonne per day capacity.

To fully understand the structural geology, the vein geometry, and high grade gold locations; detailed geological mapping and evaluation on 257 level will commence during early May. Underground diamond drilling in excess of 12,000 metres is planned which should delineate a mineral resource for this lower area of the Kenville deposit. This drilling program, along with surface in-filled targeted diamond drill holes, will also identify the characteristics of the potential un-mined resource below the 257 level. Also planned is the extension of the 257 drifts to allow for further drilling and to access newly discovered gold bearing quartz veins.
