Axiom Mining announced that mine construction has rapidly advanced over the past month with completion of the grade control program over the initial mining areas which are planned to provide ore for its first shipment. Approximately 150 drill holes have been drilled and samples sent to Australian laboratories for analysis, with assays due shortly. The results will optimise the detail ed pit design, mine planning and stockpiling which will all commence later the month of December 2018. The last remaining components of the initial m ining fleet are due to arrive at San Jorge later this month and in early January 2019. This will provide the company enough heavy machinery for mining and loading of the planned shipments for the first half of calendar year 20 19, with the first shipment on track for first quarter of 20 19.

The company announced the appointment of Michael Strachan as General Manager for the Isabel Nickel Project. Michael has over 40 years experience managing brownfield and greenfield projects in Australia, PNG, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines and Thailand which have been on time and on budget.
