AXMIN Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AXM) ("AXMIN" or the "Company") comments today on a
recent news report from Bangui, Central African Republic ("CAR") that there has
been at least 37 deaths reported from a collapse of a pit, during heavy rains at
a gold mine in Ndassima, CAR. 


On December 24, 2012, AXMIN declared a Force Majeure with the State of CAR due
to the escalating political volatility in country. Since that time, AXMIN has
not had access to its Passendro project. Prior to the Force Majeure, AXMIN's
operations were exploration in nature, resource and geotechnical drilling and
some pre-production infrastructural upgrades of the roads.


AXMIN's CEO, comments, "AXMIN is deeply saddened to learn of the tragic loss of
life at a mine collapse in an area of the Passendro gold project that has been
unlawfully occupied by illegal artisanal miners since the Company declared Force
Majeure in December 2012. The greatest risk to illegal artisanal mining
activities is safety, where miners build tunnels and deep pits in unstable
conditions. Following AXMIN's meeting in Bangui with representatives of the new
transitional government, the State expressed its commitment to work with the
Company to ensure full access and a stable environment at its Passendro Gold
Project as quickly as possible, thus allowing AXMIN to resume operations and
properly secure the site."
