Anglo Swiss to Prospect its Blu Starr Graphite Property in Southeast BC

ASW: TSX.V

VANCOUVER, May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. (ASW:TSX-V, ASWRF: PK) ("Anglo Swiss" or the "Company") is pleased to announce plans to commence prospecting at its Blu Starr Graphite Property in the Slocan Valley near the city of Nelson in southeastern BC. The property is located south of Eagle Graphite Corporation's flake graphite operation and adjoins their claim group. Eagle Graphite is one of only two natural flake graphite mines operating in North America (see attached maps).

The 6,473 hectare (~65 sq. km) property covers high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Valhalla Metamorphic Complex which hosts favourable horizons with flake graphite. Next to Eagle Graphite, Anglo Swiss has one of the largest claim holdings covering the Valhalla Metamorphic Complex in the region. Flake graphite occurrences are known on the Blu Starr property. In the northern part of Blu Starr up to 15% graphite has been mapped in outcrop and appears associated with a three kilometre long electromagnetic (EM) anomaly identified in an airborne geophysical survey completed by the Company in 2010. Less than 25% of the property was covered by this airborne survey.

Jari Paakki, CEO of the Company, commented "With escalating interest in flake graphite we are in a great position having a quality, road accessible graphite project in one of North America's top graphite producing regions in our portfolio. Prospecting will target prospective horizons that host flake graphite as soon as weather conditions permit. Large portions of the property are expected to be clear of snow cover at the end of May."

Jari Paakki, P. Geo., is the designated "qualified person" (within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101) responsible for the preparation of this news release.
