LAVAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - June 20, 2017) - Axe Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AXQ) (the "Company") announces the beginning of a prospecting campaign on the Unique project. The project is located approximately 20 Km North East of the city of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec.

Several geological elements held attention of AXE technical team following field reconnaissance.

- The presence of a syenite pluton. This type of intrusion is commonly associated with the gold-bearing systems of the Abitibi.

- Corridors of fracturing which make a few dozen meters cut the intrusion.

- A fractures controlled pervasive hematite alteration is locally carrying pyrite.

- Deformation zones related to the Porcupine Break bound the Clericy pluton inside property limits.

Axe mobilizes a prospecting crew to cover and sample systematically the property centered on the Clericy Township. The program objective is to test indicators of a large tonnage low grade disseminated deposit. Emphasis will be put on sampling hematized and pyritized fractures zones.

The sector of interest was never the object of such an exploration effort, as it can be shown by the assessment works compilation (http://sigeom.mines.gouv.qc.ca). AXE will apply a systematic sampling approach on the target.
