| Thu Aug 11, 2005 Max to Acquire Interest in Utah Uranium Claims | |
| MAX Resource Corp. is pleased to announce that it has entered into agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Energex, LLC to acquire a 100 % interest in the PPCO claims in Juab County, Utah. Energex, LLC is a Nevada corporation wholly-owned by Clancy J. Wendt, the Vice President of Exploration for MAX. The terms of the Option Agreement with Energex call for:
The PPCO claims comprise 27 claims totaling 540 acres and were explored during the early 1980's by Phillips Uranium, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phillips Petroleum. Phillips encountered uranium grades of approximately 0.05% U3O8, over a 100 foot thickness at a depth of 900 feet within a small caldera. The uranium host rock was identical to the host rock found in a nearby structurally controlled uranium system that produced approximately 500,000 pounds of uranium before mining was terminated when the ore zone was found to be faulted off to the east. The zone found by Phillips on the PPCO claims is thought to be an extension of this original mineralization. The mineralization is contained within the mote sediments of a smaller caldera within a major caldera system. The mineralization appears to be structurally controlled along the edge of this caldera and planned exploration will follow up on previous work. Due to the geological formations in the area, the property may be amenable to "in-situ leaching "("ISL"), subject to further exploration. Exploration drilling on the PPCO claims by Phillips was supervised by Mr. Wendt, who was employed by Phillips at that time. Further exploration of the property was terminated by Phillips after the Three Mile Island accident, which resulted in Phillips terminating all of its uranium exploration activities. This news release has been reviewed by Mr. Clancy J. Wendt, P. Geo, a "qualified person" as that term is defined under National Instrument 43-101. There has been no NI 43-101 Geological Report completed on the PPCO Claims.
