MAX  RESOURCE  CORP.  CHANNEL  SAMPLES  1.722%  COPPER  OVER  59  METRES  

Vancouver   B.C.,  April   3,   2018  –  MAX   RESOURCE   CORP.  (“MXR”   or   the   “Company”)   (TSX.V:   MXR;   OTC  

Pink:   MXROF;   Frankfurt:   M1D)  is   pleased   to   announce   the  results   of   the  97   metre  channel   sample   at  

Cerro  de  Cobre  as  it  continues  its  due  diligence  in  support  of  the  acquisition  of  its  Copperbelt  Minerals  

Corp’s  Gachala  Copper  Project,  50  kilometres  east  of  Bogota,  Colombia  (the  “Property”),  as  detailed  in  

its  February  26,  2018  news  release.  Highlights  include:  

• 19  metres  averaging  3.21%  copper;  within  

• 59  metres  averaging  1.722  %  copper  

The  orientation  of  the  channel  sampled  mineralization  is  unknown  at  this  time.  MXR  cautions  investors  

it  has  not  yet  fully  verified  the  historical  data.  The  19  metres  averaging  3.21%  copper  supports  the  3.16%  

copper  over  22.9  metre  obtained  by  Colombian  Mines  Corporation  during  its  2008  program.    

“Our  on-­‐going  due  diligence  continues  to  confirm  our  faith  in  the  Copperbelt  acquisition  becoming  our  

critical  asset,”  Brett  Matich,  MXR  Chief  Executive  Officer,  stated.  “The  Cerro  de  Cobre  channel  sampling  

exceeded  expectations  expanding  the  bedrock  mineralization  from  22  metres  to  59  metres.  We  are  now  

awaiting  assays  to  confirm  the  belief  our  LWIR  survey,  detailed  in  our  March  8,  2018  news  release,  will  

successfully  vector   us   in   to   previously   unknown   bedrock   copper   mineralization.  We   remain   staunchly  

focussed  on  our  object  of  Pioneering  the  World’s  Next  Copper  Frontier.”    

A   continuous   8   centimetre   channel  sample   was   cut   in   bedrock   to   a   depth   of   3   to   4   centimetres   and  

sampled  in  continuous  1  metre  intervals.  As  shown  in  the  attached  figure,  the  channel  locations  had  to  

be   moved   to   accommodate   topography.   The   metre   by   metre   assays   are   shown   in   the   accompanying  

table.

The  orientation  of  the  channel  sampled  mineralization  is  unknown  at  this  time.  MXR  cautions  investors  

it  has  not  yet  fully  verified  the  historical  data.  

All  samples  from  the  Phase  I  surface  program  were  sent  to  the  ACTLABS  COLOMBIA  S.A.S.  laboratory,  an  

ISO  9001:  2008  certified  facility.  All  samples  were  collected  by  Max  Resource  Corp.  contractor  personnel  

and  securely  stored  until  delivery  to  ACTLABS.  At  this  early  stage  of  exploration,  Max  Resource  Corp.  is  

relying   on   the   certified   standards   utilized   by   ACTLABS   as   part   of   it   analysis   protocols.   No   QA/QC  

anomalies  were  noted  in  the  analyses.  

About  Gachala  

The   Gachala   Copper   Project  consists   of   4   mineral   claims   and   21   exploration   applications   totaling  

approximately  400  square  kilometers,  covering  a  25km  section  of  a  250km  by  120km  belt  of  Devonian  

through  Cretaceous  age  rocks  in  a  geological  setting  conducive  to  hosting  sedimentary  copper  deposits.  

Mineralization  appears  to  be  localized  at  the  contact  between  the  Devonian -­‐Permain  red  beds  and  the  

overlying  Cretaceous  reducing  black  shales,  one  of  the  settings  typical  of  these  copper  deposits.  

The   Gachala   Copper   Project   includes   the   historic   Cerro   de   Cobre   copper   mine,   where   2008   channel  

sampling  returned  22.8  metres  grading  3.16%  copper  and  15.3  g/t  silver.  Subsequent  Mobile  Metal  Ion  

(MMI)  soil  sampling  defined  a  1500  metre  by  800  metre  copper-­‐in-­‐soil  anomaly  encompassing  the  two  

zones,  open  in  all  directions.  Colombian  Mines  Corporation  felt  there  was  a  high  potential  for  repetition  

on  the  opposite  side  of  the  hosting  anticline  and  further  felt  the  geology  suggested  mineralization  may  

extend   beyond   the   limits   of   known   anomalous   zones.  (Source:   Colombian   Mines   Corporation   News  

Releases   dated   15-­‐May-­‐2008   and   14-­‐Nov-­‐2012   respectively).   The   orientation   of   the   channel   sampled  

mineralization  is  unknown  at  this  time.  MXR  cautions  investors  it  has  not  yet  fully  verified  the  historical  

data.  

The   historic   sampling   combined   with   the   recent   mapping   and   sampling   completed   by   MXR   indicates  

copper  mineralization  appears   to   be   widely   dispersed   throughout   the   400   square   kilometre   property  

holdings.    

About  the  Transaction  

MXR  has  signed  a  binding  Letter  of   Intent   (“LOI”)   to   acquire   100%   of   the   outstanding   share   capital   of  

Copperbelt  Minerals  Corp.,  a  private  Canadian  company  holding  the  Property.  MXR  will  issue  12,000,000  

common  shares  to  the  Copperbelt  Minerals’  shareholders  and  take  over  the  obligations  of  the  Cerro  de  

Cobre   agreement,   requiring   the   aggregate   payment   of   US$1,060,000   over   the   next   three   years   to   the  

Cerro  de  Cobre  vendors.  Certain  shareholders  of  Copperbelt  Minerals  will  collectively  retain  a  3-­‐per-­‐cent  

net  smelter  returns  royalty  (“NSR”)  on  the  Property.  MXR  has  the  sole  exclusive  right  to  purchase  half  of  

the   3-­‐per-­‐cent   NSR   for   the   consideration   of   US$3-­‐million   at   any   time   prior   to   production.  On   April   2,  

2018,  the  due  diligence  period  was  extended  to  April  30,  2018.
