    Max Resource Reports 4.8% Copper and 51 g/t Silver Over 25-Metres at the New SP Target, CESAR North, NE Colombia

    Vancouver B.C., September 2, 2021 – MAX RESOURCE CORP. (“Max” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: MXR; OTC: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D2) is pleased to report initial assay results for “SP”, a new target located midway along the CESAR North 80-kilometre-long belt, in line with the four previous discoveries the URU, CONEJO, AMN and AMS zones, within the wholly-owned CESAR project in North Eastern Colombia (refer to Figures 1 and 2).

    Presently, the SP target spans over 1.6-kilometres and is open in all directions. The reconnaissance composite grab sampling over 25-metres averaging 4.8% copper and 51 g/t silver is considered very significant, as is indicates the presence of a higher copper and silver grades within each 25-metre interval. This first pass sampling program is to be followed up with trenching and detailed chip channel sampling. 

    “In 2021 alone, Max’s in-country team have now identified three new copper-silver discoveries spanning along the CESAR North 80-kilometre-long belt, showing the importance of identifying the extent of the copper-silver rich mineralization,” commented Max CEO, Brett Matich.

    "In addition to these new results, Max looks forward to reporting continued results from the CONEJO and URU zones located along the CESAR North 80-kilometre-long copper-silver belt," he continued. 

    "World demand for copper continues to increase because it is the key metal for the green revolution's move to electric vehicles, solar, wind and clean power grid infrastructure. Combined with copper's declining reserve base, new discoveries of copper are essential to replace depleting reserves. The potential district-size of the CESAR discoveries positions Max to take advantage of the copper shortfalls," he concluded.

    Max interprets the sediment-hosted stratabound copper-silver mineralization in the Cesar basin to be analogous to both the Central African Copper Belt (CACB) to the south and the Polish Kupferschiefer to the north.  Almost 50% of the copper known to exist in sediment-hosted deposits is contained in the CACB, including Ivanhoe Mines Ltd (TSX: IVN) 95-billion-pound Kamoa-Kakula copper deposits in the Congo.  

    Kupferschiefer, the world’s largest silver producer and Europe’s largest copper source, is a mining orebody of 0.5 to 5.5-metres thick at depths of 500-metres, grading 1.49% copper and 48.6 g/t silver. The silver yield is almost twice the production of the world’s second largest silver mine.

Max cautions investors that the presence of copper mineralization of the Central African Copper Belt and the Polish Kupferschiefer are not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization at CESAR.

    QUALITY ASSURANCE

    All CESAR rock chip samples are shipped to ALS Lab's sample preparation facility in Medellin, Columbia. Sample pulps are then sent to Lima, Peru, for analysis. All samples are 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.

    Max uses standard chip and channel sampling where possible, but also relies on composite grab sampling. Max considers composite grab samples to be representative but cautions investors that individual grab samples can be selective and may not be representative of continuous mineralization at CESAR.

    CESAR COPPER-SILVER PROJECT IN COLOMBIA – OVERVIEW

    CESAR lies along the copper-silver rich 200-kilometre-long Cesar Basin in northeastern Colombia. This region enjoys major infrastructure resulting from oil & gas and mining operations, including Cerrejon, the largest coal mine in Latin America, now held by global miner Glencore (refer to Figure 3).

    Due to the district-scale and copper-silver prospectivity of the Cesar Basin, Max has implemented a multi-faceted exploration program for 2021:

    Advanced Drill Core Analysis and Modelling: ongoing interpretation of seismic sections and analysis of historical drill holes are all being integrated into our structural modelling of the Cesar Basin, in collaboration with Ingeniería Geológica Universidad Nacional de Colombia (“IGUN”) in Medellín (January 7, 2021 NR).

    Geochemical and Mineralogical: research programs by the University of Science and Technology (“AGH”) of Krakow, Poland. AGH bring their extensive knowledge of KGHM’s world renowned Kupferschiefer sediment-hosted copper-silver deposits in Poland to the CESAR project.

    Geophysical: Fathom Geophysics is interpreting seismic data, funded by the Company in collaboration with one of the world's leading copper producers.

    Proprietary Field Exploration & Techniques: Max’s in-country exploration teams continue to target new copper-silver stratabound mineralized zones.
