| Mon May 16, 2005 "Megatem" Airborne Geophysical Survey Underway on the MacInnis Lake Uranium Project | |
| MAX Resource Corp. is pleased to announce that the deep penetrating airborne electromagnetic geophysical ("MEGATEM") survey on the company's MacInnis Lake uranium project is now underway. The airborne survey is being conducted by Fugro Airborne Surveys using a specially modified Dash-7 aircraft and will cover a total of 951 line kilometers along east-west oriented lines, with 200 meter spacings. Mr. Jan Klein, M.Sc., P. Eng., P. Geo., consulting geophysicist, will review and compile all of the data generated from the geophysical survey. The large scale and high transmitter power of the proprietary system allows for deep penetrating exploration in the search for unconformity type uranium deposits associated with graphitic conductors in the basement. Results from the geophysical survey will be combined with archived historical drill results to assist the company in its drill targeting during subsequent exploration. Summer exploration activities are planned that include follow up ground geophysics and diamond drilling. Mr. Clancy Wendt, P.Geo., is MAX's Qualified Person for the MacInnis Lake uranium project. MACINNIS LAKE URANIUM PROJECT ("UNCONFORMITY OR BASEMENT HOSTED URANIUM SETTING") The MacInnis Lake uranium claim block consists of 26,184.64 acres located in the Nonacho Basin 150 km northeast of Fort Smith, Northwest Territories and 275 km southeast of the city of Yellowknife. The MacInnis Lake Uranium project is considered to be an Unconformity-associated uranium deposit type. Unconformity-related uranium deposits can be extremely high grade and can average up to 10%+ U308; this is the setting for the vast majority of deposits in the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan. MAX's management believes the MacInnis Lake area has the potential to host a world-class, economic uranium deposit, similar to those at Saskatchewan's McArthur River and Cigar Lake. The MacInnis Lake claim block is known to have widespread surface uranium mineralization, and contains 28 high grade uranium outcrops that were drilled between 1954 and 1988. All uranium exploration and drilling datasets have been archived and recorded by the Geological Survey of Canada and include the results of over 100 uranium drill-holes.. These drill holes were completed between 1954-1988 by Canadian Pipelines and Petroleum Ltd. and Scurry-Rainbow Oil Ltd. The highest uranium values intersected in drill core at the Dussault showing intersected 0.84% U308 over 2 feet. This high grade zone has a strike length of more than 150 meters and is 60 metres in depth. Uranium mineralization rakes to the northeast at 40 degrees. The Ace Uranium showing was drill tested with 57 drill holes totaling 6,096 metres. Uranium mineralization was drill tested to a depth of 150 metres. A narrow, high grade uranium ore zone 50 metres in length and 6 metres wide was outlined on the property. All historically archived drill data is available from the Northwest Territories Geoscience office of Research and Information. The world average grade from producing uranium mines is 0.15% U308. The current spot price for uranium is $29.00 US per pound A Qualified Person is in the process of preparing a National Instrument 43-101 compliant report on the property that should be available by early June. The historical data outlined above predates NI #43-101 standards and therefore should not be relied upon. MAX has entered into an option agreement with Alberta Star Development Corp. (TSX-V:ASX; OTC BB: ASXSF) whereby MAX can earn a 50% interest in the MacInnis Lake Uranium Project by making cash payments totaling $30,000 issuing 200,000 common shares, and incurring exploration expenditures totaling $2 Million over a five year period. Alberta Star will be the operator of the project. About MAX Resource Corp.
