Axion Minerals Launches Phase 1 Exploration at Cranberry Creek Rare Earth Property in British Columbia

Axion Minerals Corp. (CSE: AXN) has commenced Phase 1 exploration at its Cranberry Creek rare earth element property in British Columbia, the Vancouver-based junior miner announced on October 19, 2026. The property sits approximately 23 kilometres south of Revelstoke and covers three contiguous mineral claims spanning nearly 2,700 hectares.

The launch follows Axion's closure of a non-brokered flow-through private placement on October 7, 2026, the proceeds of which are earmarked for eligible Canadian exploration expenses at Cranberry Creek. The company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange in July 2026 after exercising approximately 1.2 million special warrants.
