Vancouver, November 29, 2021 - Axmin Inc. (TSXV: AXM) ("AXMIN" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a progress report on the mediation process that was initiated by the Company regarding the Passendro Gold Project in the Central African Republic (CAR) to rectify the mining license and two exploration permits, as previously publicly disclosed by the Company including in "Operations - Central African Republic - Passendro Gold Project" in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis - Six Months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
The President of the CAR, Mr Faustin-Archange Touadera, gave a mandate to Mr Arnaud Djoubaye-Abazene, the Minister of Justice, and to Mr Ruffin Benam-Beltoungou, the Minister of Mines and Geology, to come to an amicable settlement with the Company. Axmin is represented by Mr Boubacar Sidibe and the Company's legal counsel.
AXMIN made its views clear during the mediation held in Abidjan, Ivory Coast as to various solutions regarding the appropriate rectification.

The parties to the mediation agreed to a maximum delay to January 29, 2022 to rectify this matter. If this timeline is not adhered to, AXMIN has the right to pursue a binding legal process.
AXMIN Chairman and CEO, Lucy Yan, said, "We are delighted to be working with the representatives of the CAR Government to rectify this matter in an amicable manner. We believe that the mutually successful rectification of this matter will benefit the CAR, all shareholders and all other stakeholders."
We seek Safe Harbour.
