AXMIN ENTERS INTO DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT WITH AVION GOLD CORPORATION TO SELL THE KOFI GOLD PROJECT IN MALI

Toronto, Ontario – March 31, 2010, AXMIN Inc. (AXM-TSX Venture) is pleased to announce the execution of a definitive agreement regarding the sale of its Kofi Gold Project and other ancillary permits in Mali to Avion Gold Corporation ("Avion") (AVR-TSX Venture) for proceeds of up to Cdn$500,000 cash and up to 4,500,000 common shares of Avion. The transaction is expected to close no later than September 30, 2010 at which time AXMIN will receive the proceeds of sale. This agreement does not include AXMIN’s Satifara permit which was the subject of a joint venture agreement in February 2010.

President and CEO, Mario Caron comments "The sale of our Malian assets is a result of the Company’s formal strategic review process undertaken by the Board of Directors which began on March 19, 2009. This transaction along with the proposed combination of AXMIN and AfNat Resources Limited announced on March 18, 2010 is expected to further strengthen AXMIN’s balance sheet and ensure that the Company can realize the full value of its main asset, the Passendro Gold Project in Central African Republic."

The strategic review process, which was initiated in March 2009, encompassed a thorough analysis and evaluation of the prospects and options available to AXMIN, including the potential sale of AXMIN or its assets, the acquisition by AXMIN of another company or business, a business combination, merger or amalgamation, or any other alternative that may be identified. AXMIN retained Paradigm Capital Inc. as a financial advisor with respect to the strategic review.

Shareholder Loan

AXMIN also announces that its major shareholder AOG Holdings BV ("AOG"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Addax & Oryx Group Limited, has agreed to provide the Company with a further loan of Cdn$600,000. The loan bears interest at 9% and all principal and interest is repayable within 24 months of the date of the first advance. The terms of the loan are similar in all material aspects to those announced in the press release dated December 22, 2009.

The loan proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
