AXMIN ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF SECOND TRANCHE AND INCREASE IN SIZE OF NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Toronto, Ontario – Jun 09, 08, AXMIN Inc. (AXM-TSX Venture) wishes to announce that it has closed the second tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement. Today’s closing consisted of 5,572,628 Units at a price of Cdn$0.40 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of Cdn$2,220,051.20 million. Each Unit consists of one common share plus one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of AXMIN at a price of Cdn$0.57 expiring on June 9, 2010.  Insiders took 125,000 Units of the second tranche of the placement. Post completion of the closing of the second tranche of the placement the Company has now issued an aggregate of 20,572,628 Units.

AXMIN also wishes to announce an increase in the size of the placement by an additional 5,000,000 Units for additional gross proceeds of Cdn$2 million. The offering size has therefore increased from 25,000,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of Cdn$10 million (as previously announced) to 30,000,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of Cdn$12 million. The increased placement is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and will close, together with the remaining portion of the previously announced placement, in one or more tranches, as soon as practicable.

The net proceeds of the placement will be used for ongoing development and exploration programs and for general corporate purposes.

Common shares acquired under the placement are subject to a four-month hold period. Post-completion of the second tranche of the placement AXMIN has a total of 236,185,862 common shares issued and outstanding.
