Axmin intersects high grades at komahun Project, sierra leone

Toronto, Ontario – Oct 25, 07, AXMIN Inc. (AXM-TSX Venture) is pleased to announce the outstanding results from a 2,300 metre core drilling program testing the main structure at the Komahun Project, in Sierra Leone, to depths of 240 metres, with results including 11.7 g/t Au over 21.5 metres, 8.2 g/t Au over 21 metres, 2.4 g/t Au over 30 metres, 5.8 g/t Au over 15 metres and 45 g/t Au over 4.9 metres.

Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Jonathan Forster comments "The results from this round of deeper drilling at Komahun are particularly encouraging with good continuity of high grade gold mineralisation both along strike and to depth in the tested main part of the structure. The strong grades demonstrate clear potential for continuation of the structure to depths compatible with longer term underground mining and in conjunction with extensions to the south gives continued upside for resource expansion through continued exploration."

This round of drilling has focused on the central 300 metres of strike length of the main Komahun mineralised structure, on fences mainly 80 metres apart. Gold mineralisation is controlled by a NE-SW trending shear zone of 800 metres strike length and is associated with disseminated arsenopyrite in silicified amphibolites, quartz veins and Banded Ironstone Formations ("BIF"). Despite the presence of arsenopyrite, initial testwork (press release August 27, 2007) indicates gold in both the oxides and sulphides yield high recoveries (93-99%), by conventional cyanide leach processes. The Komahun structure has a relatively simple 30 metre wide vertical geometry containing up to three parallel mineralised zones, each ranging in typical width from 2-12 metres.

An independent consultant has recently visited the site for the NI 43-101 confirmation, with the objective of producing new mineral resource calculations incorporating all the 2007 drill data (press release August 27, 2007). The previous mineral resource (press release October 05, 2006) comprised inferred mineral resources totaling 4.9 million tonnes grading 2.5 g/t Au (392,000 contained ounces gold). A new drill campaign comprising at least a further 2,000 metres of core drilling is scheduled to commence shortly with the objective of further increasing resources both at depth and in particular along the recently discovered southern structure which geochemistry indicates may extend as a target for up to 4 km to the south.

Note – Intercept intervals are not true widths

The Komahun Prospect lies within the Nimini Hills Gold Project which is held under a joint venture agreement with AFCAN Barbados Limited, a subsidiary of Eldorado Gold Corporation (ELD-TSX; EGO-ASX). Under the terms of the joint venture, Eldorado has elected not to participate in ongoing exploration expenditures. As a consequence AXMIN may increase its level of ownership in the project from 60% to 80% by completing a bankable feasibility study.

Grade calculations are based on a 0.5 g/t Au lower cut off to define the mineralised structure, with no upper cut. Analytical work is being carried out at the independent OMAC Laboratories Ltd. in the Republic of Ireland. The drill samples are subject to a full sample preparation followed by a 50 gram fire assay with an AA finish. Blanks, standards and duplicates are being used to monitor laboratory performance during the analysis. 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.
