entire Board of Directors, I would like to thank George Roach for his
contributions to AXMIN over the past several years. Under George's leadership,
AXMIN's wholly-owned subsidiaries (SOMIO Toungou SA and Aurafrique SARL) were
granted the 25-year Mining Licence and two Exploration Licences, respectively,
for the Passendro gold project. In addition the Company has made significant
inroads towards securing the debt financing required to develop the project.


Over the next several months, the AXMIN team will be working closely with its
project consultants, potential debt lenders and debt advisor, as well as the
appropriate government representatives in the Central African Republic ("CAR").
The objective of this process is to focus on the most cost efficient strategy to
build the Passendro mine."

consultant to AXMIN, I remain fully committed to continuing to advance AXMIN's
relationship with the new transitional government in the CAR and to ensure that
this very important project to both the CAR and AXMIN is developed in a safe
environment and timely manner."
