Max Provides Gold and Platinum Sample Analysis and Exploration Update
Max Provides Gold and Platinum Sample Analysis and Exploration Update
Vancouver B.C., April 26, 2019 – MAX RESOURCE CORP. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: MXR; OTC: MXROF;
Frankfurt: M1D1) is pleased to provide a sample analysis and exploration update for the Company’s 1,757 sq. km
“Choco Gold and Platinum Project”, located 100km SW of Medellin, Colombia.
• Max continues to process 25kg to 50kg sample lots from the 2500 kg of gold-bearing conglomerate from
each of the six conglomerate test pits;
• This on-going analytical testing of the 25kg to 50kg samples continues to show free gold + free platinum
in most of the samples processed;
• Subsequent further processing of the panned concentrates has proven to be a challenge as most of the
fine gold observed in the panned concentrates does not appear in the concentrates, once the follow up
processing is completed;
• Detailed investigation has indicated, due to the fine nature or particle size of the gold grains, all the fine
gold in the sample could not be collected for analysis, as free gold was observed washed away in the
processing water, the samples processed to date are therefore compromised;
• Testing is progressing towards optimizing recovery of the fine gold; Max will provide further updates as
received.
It is important to be aware that the conglomerate geological model has only recently been identified. Max has
experienced sampling inconsistences not previously encountered, this has resulted in on going changes and
refinements in the processing of the conglomerate samples. Management anticipates the technical team will
resolve the processing inconsistences in the near future.
While awaiting the test results of the conglomerates, exploration continues at Choco. The Max team has refined
its exploration strategy to focus on locating enrichment zones, by conducting sample analysis on the weathered
material, that overlays the conglomerates. The gold in the weathered conglomerate appears coarser in nature.
The relevance of identifying the surface zones is the enrichment zones should continue at depth. As originally
theorized, the entire system was essentially in-situ. The field team expects to then zero in on the underlying
conglomerate (hard-rock) enrichment zones over the 1,757 sq. km property, including the 1,000 sq. km
exploration area. Results will be released as received.
Max CEO Brett Matich commented. “We remain excited with the free gold + free platinum observed in most of
the 25kg to 50kg samples processed to date and we will continue to advance our objective of optimizing recovery
of the fine gold and platinum from the conglomerates.” He continued “I have no doubt the revised exploration
strategy will successfully identify the underlying conglomerate enrichment zones.”
