PASSENDRO GOLD PROJECT, CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC - UPDATE

Toronto, Ontario – May 06, 08, AXMIN Inc. (AXM-TSX Venture) announces that prior to the submission of the Mining Licence application for its Passendro Gold Project and during its ongoing discussions with the State of the Central African Republic ("CAR"), the government has indicated its desire to review some of the conditions of the Mining Convention that was agreed upon and signed on January 27, 2006. It is understood that this request coincides with the modernisation of the CAR’s mining code with the assistance of the World Bank. Amongst other things the State has indicated that it would be willing to consider exchanging its 10% free carried interest in the corporation which holds the Passendro Gold Project for cash consideration and an enhanced royalty. AXMIN is mindful of the need for the government to increase its revenue from the resource industry and is therefore willing to discuss proposals provided they are not detrimental to the economic viability of the Passendro Gold Project as outlined in the feasibility study press release of April 2, 2008.

AXMIN will provide further updates as warranted.
