AXMIN’S NOTICE OF ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS ON TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 2011

Toronto, Ontario – May  31, 2011 – AXMIN Inc. (TSX Venture: AXM) (“ÀXMIN” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) will be held in the Rideau/St Lawrence Rooms at the offices of the Company’s counsel, Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, 24th Floor, Bay Adelaide Centre, 333 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2T6, Canada on Tuesday, the 28th day of June, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time).

Among the other purposes for the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, pass a special resolution authorizing the directors, in their discretion, to consolidate the Company’s shares. The directors will be given the authority, if they consider it to be in the best interests of the Company, to implement a share consolidation at any time prior to March 31, 2012. A share consolidation is being proposed in response to numerous feedbacks from shareholders and financiers to prepare the Company for its impending transition to producer from explorer.

President and CEO of AXMIN, Mr. George Roach, comments, “The consolidation is proposed to complete the work of renewing AXMIN that began with my assuming the role of CEO following the AfNat merger and subsequent granting of the 25-year Mining Licence. As we work through the process of securing debt financing for the construction of the Passendro Gold Mine, it has been expressed that a refined share structure is widely anticipated, and perhaps necessary to facilitate AXMIN’s marketability to a broader institutional investor base.”

The directors of the Company fixed the close of business on May 24, 2011 as the Record Date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of the Meeting, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. The formal Notice of the Meeting and the Company’s proxy statement are being mailed to the shareholders of record today, May 31, 2011. The Company encourages all shareholders to read the proxy materials when received and return their proxies as soon as possible.
