Dear Anthony

Re: Request for Trading Halt

The Board of Axiom Mining Limited (“Axiom”) hereby requests a trading halt pending the release of an
announcement by the Company in relation to the finalisation of the litigation proceedings in the Solomon
Islands.

Axiom has no reason to believe why this request should not be granted.

Axiom expects to be in a position to update the market in relation to this matter by the opening of trade on or
before 22 May 2014.

If you have any questions regarding this matter please contact myself or Vivian Lim on (+61 7) 3319 4100.


Yours faithfully,



Ryan Mount
Managing Director
Axiom Mining Limited
