Three new discoveries along the bambari gold belt, central african republic

Toronto, Ontario – Sep 12, 07, AXMIN Inc. (AXM-TSX Venture) is pleased to report on three new gold discoveries along the 140 km long Bambari gold belt, Bakala-Bambari Permits, Central African Republic, where drill intercepts which include 24.6 g/t Au over 6.0 metres, 6.4 g/t Au over 4.0 metres, 3.6 g/t Au over 7.5 metres and 1.7 g/t Au over 35 metres have been received. The three discovery areas of Ndassima West, Saraganza and Louba are located approximately 8, 13 and 26 km respectively from the proposed site of the Passendro Gold plant, see attached map.

Chief Executive Officer, Dr Jonathan Forster comments "This recent phase of reconnaissance drilling along the Bambari gold belt has given great encouragement that new resource centres may be established, complementing the other discoveries previously made within a 10 km radius of Passendro and which together, in time, could contribute to the expansion of the Passendro Gold Project. In addition these discoveries continue to show the ability of surface exploration to generate successful targets. Our teams are currently working on a further three such targets in preparation for first drilling with additional prospects waiting in the wings, giving confidence that new discoveries will continue to emerge. Meanwhile the ongoing feasibility study work is nearing completion, with data being compiled and first optimization studies in progress."

These three new drill discoveries raise the number of prospects awaiting follow up drilling to six (see press release dated April 25, 2007), of which four are now located within 10 km of Passendro. With the technical aspects of the Passendro Feasibility Study nearing completion, drill availability for regional exploration is anticipated to improve in time for the next dry season, commencing early November. The objective is to work drill discoveries through to resource status where appropriate, for eventual inclusion into the mine plan for Passendro.

Ndassima West: located about 8 km southeast of the proposed Passendro Gold plant the gold mineralisation occurs within Banded Iron Formation ("BIF") and has been traced for a strike length of about 200 metres with an orientation of NNW-SSE and dip to the SW of about 60o. Initial shallow angled reverse circulation ("RC") drilling was completed on fences 40 metres apart, which define a central zone of mineralisation with indications of additional zones in both the hanging and footwalls. This mineralisation has been traced to a vertical depth of 70 metres (and remains open to depth) by a series of four core holes, with true widths in the centre of the structure of up to 22 metres. Fault structures (interpreted from ground magnetics) bound the mineralisation to the north and south.

Saraganza: located about 14 km to the SSE of the proposed Passendro Gold plant the gold mineralisation occurs within greenschists in the hanging wall of a southwest dipping BIF. The mineralisation has been identified through an initial program of shallow (to about 30 metres vertical depth), angled RC drilling on 40 metre fences over a strike length of 320 metres, within the central part of a 1,200 metre long soil anomaly. This shallow reconnaissance drilling has defined up to six separate mineralised intercepts within 60 metres of the BIF. The intercepts range in thickness from 2-6 metres with grades lying in the range of 0.5-2.5 g/t Au. Six core holes and one deeper RC hole have provided the first information at depth on individual structures, indicating the potential to identify improved widths and grades. Further drilling is needed before a better understanding of the depth and strike potential of the discovery can be considered.

Louba: located about 26 km to the NW of the proposed Passendro Gold plant, shallow RC drill holes have been completed on a reconnaissance basis over the central 200 metres of a 1,000 metre long soil anomaly (50 ppb Au threshold). The anomaly overlies what is currently interpreted to be folded BIF and greenschists. Drilling has assisted in the understanding of the distribution of the BIF and has so far identified at least three separate mineralised structures, of which one (hole TRC018) could be located in the fold hinge of a BIF unit and gave a high grade intercept (shown below). Exploration remains at a very early stage at Louba and follow up drilling will be needed to better understand the geometry and strike extent of the first intercepts, as well as continue to test the remainder of the soil anomaly.

Analytical work is being carried out at the independent OMAC Laboratories Ltd. in Ireland. The samples are subject to a full sample preparation followed by a 50 gram fire assay with an AA finish. Blanks (5%), pulp duplicates (5%) and a suite of Geostats standard reference material are being used to monitor sample preparation and laboratory performance during first pass analysis. Further QA/QC work is carried out on a quarterly basis. This comprises check assaying 20% of all >500 ppb samples using prepped coarse reject samples at OMAC and a second laboratory. Check assay batches are also routinely monitored using 5% blanks, standards and pulp duplicates. This press release has been reviewed by in-house qualified person Dr Jonathan Forster, Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining in the United Kingdom.
