This mutually beneficial transaction offers Dickson exposure to a robust near-production gold project with exceptional exploration upside and gives AXMIN the stability it needs during the debt lenders final due diligence process.

"As much as I look forward to working with the Dickson team and the new combined board of directors, I further welcome the reassurance from a CAR Government Spokesperson that the Company's tenements, licenses and agreements are valid and will be respected by the new Government, and that the Government remains committed to facilitating a stable environment as quickly as possible to allow AXMIN to proceed to completion of the debt finance arrangements that are on hold during the current Force Majeure.
