AMENDMENT TO JANUARY 14, 2002 PRESS RELEASE
AXMIN Inc. (“AXMIN”) (AXM-CDNX) announced in a press release on January 14, 2002 that it had entered into option agreements with Channel Resources Ltd. (“Channel”) (“CHU-TSE”) to acquire interests in the Bouroum and Bombore licences in Burkina Faso. The mineral resource estimates that were cited by AXMIN in the January 14th press release for each of the licences were extracted from Channel’s Annual Information Form for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2000.
AXMIN has not independently verified the mineral resource estimates previously disclosed by Channel and thus the resource estimates quoted may not fully meet the current standards for disclosure of resource estimates pursuant to policies of the CDNX and National Instrument 43-101.
AXMIN has commissioned Steffen Robertson & Kirsten (UK) Limited to undertake an independent resource estimate for the Bouroum property with the objective of modelling potential high grade, open pittable resources at Bouroum. In addition, AXMIN will commission a scoping study to investigate project economics and undertake bench scale metallurgical testwork during the 90 day option period.
AXMIN has commenced its own detailed review of historic exploration data for both licences to identify targets for drilling. Further announcements regarding these properties will be made following AXMIN’s review of the data and completion of technical studies.
The Canadian Venture Exchange has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
