MAX RESOURCE REPORTS HIGH-GRADE RESULTS FROM AM-08, INCLUDING 2.6 per cent COPPER + 58 G/T SILVER OVER 15 METRES AT ITS CESAR PROJECT

Max Resource Corp. has released high-grade assay results from continuous rock-chip channel sampling collected at the recently discovered AM-08 target, located in the AM district of its wholly owned Cesar copper-silver project in northeastern Colombia.

AM-08 Highlights

  • Continuous chip channel sampling across the width of the structurally controlled mineralization at the primary outcrop has returned values of: 2.6 per cent copper and 58 grams per tonne silver over 15.0m
  • including, 3.5 per cent copper + 77 grams per tonne silver over 10.0m
  • including, 8.1 per cent copper + 172 grams per tonne silver over 1.0m.
  • In addition, continuous chip channel sampling across mineralized outcrops at several locations west of the primary occurrence has returned values of:
  • 2.5 per cent copper + 48 grams per tonne silver over 2.0m.
  • 1.8 per cent copper + 18 grams per tonne silver over 1.8m.
  • 1.1 per cent copper + 16 grams per tonne silver over 5.3m.

Located approximately seven kilometres northwest from AM-08, AM-07 (Max News Release dated September 20, 2023) was discovered by prospecting.

AM-08 is characterized by the presence of two styles of copper-silver mineralization: structurally controlled and stratiform sediment hosted. Stratiform mineralization at AM-08 has been mapped along strike for 400 metres.

"The assay results from four outcrops at AM-08 are exceptional and make this a top-priority target for Max. The high-grade results along with the combination of structural and stratiform mineralization provides the company with the potential for significant deposits," commented Brett Matich, CEO of Max.

"Field crews will now focus on expanding the stratiform mineralization at the AM District, along strike and on identifying other locations where the stratiform and structural mineralization intersect to create wider zones," he concluded.

Description of the Mineralisation

  • Two types of copper-silver mineralization are observed at AM-08, structurally controlled and stratiform: The structurally controlled mineralization is hosted in an NNE striking fault and is thickest where it intersects an NNW striking fault. The primary copper mineral is chalcocite which occurs in multiple veins up to 3 cm thick.
  • Stratiform mineralization is observed where the mineralized structure comes into contract with sedimentary rocks or lithological contacts. Copper minerals include chalcocite and bornite which form irregular veins that are concordant with the strata. The strike and dip of bedding in the AM-08 area is measured at N 30 degrees to 60 degrees and 30 degrees NE respectively.

Results

Assay results from continuous chip channel samples collected at four different locations at the AM-08 target are presented in Table 1 through Table 4 below:

Quality AssuranceAll AM-08 rock chip samples are shipped to ALS Lab's sample preparation facility in Medellin, Colombia. Sample pulps sent to Lima, Peru, for analysis. All samples were analyzed using ALS procedure ME-MS41, a four-acid digestion with inductively coupled plasma finished. Over-limit copper and silver are determined by ALS procedure OG-62, a four-acid digestion with an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish. ALS Labs is independent from Max.

CorporateMax is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated (Max News Release dated November 7, 2023), it has closed its acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Bay Street Mineral Corp. ("Bay Street"), an arm's-length Canadian corporation. Max has obtained TSX-V approval for this acquisition.

In consideration for the acquisition of Bay Street, Max issued the sole shareholder of Bay Street a total of 14,000,000 common shares ("Shares") in the capital of Max. The Shares are subject to escrow and shall be released over a 36-month period, commencing on the closing date of the acquisition. Bay Street holds an underlying 3 per cent net smelter royalty ("Royalty"), over 19 mining concessions covering 184-km Superscript 2 and 31 mining concession applications covering 796-km Superscript 2 of the company's wholly-owned Cesar Copper Silver Project (the "Royalty"). Through its acquisition of Bay Street, the company has re-acquired interest to the Royalty.

BackgroundThe Cesar Copper Silver Project comprises of three districts: AM, Conejo and URU. Collectively the three contiguous districts stretch over 120-km in NNE/SSW direction (refer to Figure 4).

This region provides access to major infrastructure from oil & gas and mining operations, includes Cerrejon, the largest coal mine in South America, held by global miner Glencore. Max's 20 mining concessions collectively span over 188-km Superscript 2.

In 2022, Max executed a 2-year co-operation agreement with Endeavour Silver Corp. ((TSX: EDR) (NYSE: EXK), which assists to expand its 100 per cent owned landholdings, Endeavour will hold an underlying 0.5 per cent NSR.

AM District

Starting in the far north of the Jurassic basin, classic stacked red bed outcrops with extensive lateral continuity have been rock sampled over many kilometres within the AM District. Highlight values of 34.4 per cent copper and 305 grams per tonne silver have been documented in the sedimentary red bed sequences. The company confirmed that stratiform mineralization continues at depth with two scout drill holes completed earlier this year (Max News Release dated April 4, 2023). In addition, Colombian field crews continue to discover and sample new mineralized outcrops including at the recently identified AM-7 target (Max News Release dated May 25, 2023 and Max News Release dated June 22, 2023) and AM-08 target (Max News Release dated September 20, 2023).

Conejo District

Midway south, the Conejo District is the most recent to be recognized and is characterized by structurally controlled mineralization hosted in intermediate and felsic volcanic rocks. Numerous mineralized outcrops have been discovered over 3.7-km at the primary target in the district with surface samples averaging 4.9 per cent copper (2 per cent cut-off). No drilling has been conducted at Conejo, but it has emerged as an area of focus for the company.

URU District

Mineralization within the URU District is hosted in intermediate volcanic rocks and is structurally controlled. At URU-C, a 9.0m of 7.0 per cent copper and 115 grams per tonne silver surface discovery was confirmed at depth by drill hole URU-12, which intersected 10.6m of 3.4 per cent copper and 48 grams per tonne silver. At the URU-CE target, 750m to the east, 19.0m of 1.3 per cent copper discovered in outcrop was confirmed by drill hole URU-9, which intersected a broad zone of copper oxide returning 33.0m of 0.3 per cent copper from 4.0m, including 16.5m of 0.5 per cent copper (Max News Release date January 24, 2023). (Note: all drill intersections are down holes widths, not true width, which remains unknown at this time.)

Target Evaluation

Max has identified and is evaluating 27 targets along the Cesar 90-km-long belt for potential drill testing. The company is focused on expanding, refining, and prioritizing these targets in preparation for a drill program. Initial efforts have been concentrated on those targets with the greatest size potential with work that includes the following field activities:

  • Systematic chip and channel sampling of the mineralized outcrops.
  • Detailed geological and structural mapping of each showing.
  • Target scale prospecting and soil sampling.
  • Airborne Magnetic/Radiometric Surveys.

Regional Exploration

Max has demonstrated that the Cesar basin is fertile for copper-silver mineralization over a large area; however, only a fraction of the basin has been explored. As a result, Max has dedicated on of its geological teams to regional exploration with the goal of discovering additional copper-silver prospects over 1,000 sq-km.
