MAX RESOURCE CORP. RELEASES INITIAL COPPER ASSAY RESULTS
Vancouver B.C., March 6, 2018 – MAX RESOURCE CORP. (“MXR” or the “Company”) ( TSX.V: MXR; OTC
Pink: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) further to our news release dated February 26 2018, we are pleased to
release preliminary copper assay results, that form part of our due diligence, related to the execute d
binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding share capital of Copperbelt Minera ls
Corp. (“CMC”) a private Canadian company (the “Acqu isition”), that currently holds the Gachala
Copperbelt Project (“Project”), which covers are ar ea of approximately 400 square kilometers and is
located in Cundinamarca Department of central Colombia, approximately 50 kilometres east of the capital
of Bogota.
As part of our due diligence process, MAX conducted initial confirmation sampling at some of the historic
adits and a known mineralized outcrop. The 13 individual grab sample values ranged from 0.09% to 11.4%
copper. Nine of the 13 samples returned values above 1% copper, a complete listing of results is included
in the table below. Multi-element analyses are pending.
MAX Resource Corp. cautions investors that grab sam ples are selected samples and are not necessarily
representative of mineralization hosted on the property.
This initial sample program forms part of the compr ehensive due diligence program. The Company is
awaiting the following:
• Assay results from an extensive channel sampling program, taken from an outcrop near the
historic Cerro de Cerro copper mine, which included a zone returning 22.8 m averaging
3.16% copper
• Assay results from a newly discovered area located 700 meters north of Cerro de Cobre.
• Results of the interpretation of the Longwave infra red (LWIR) survey, in identifying copper
anomalies in areas of dense and ground cover. This survey was conducted last month and
covered an area of approximately 10,000 square kilo meters and includes MXR’s 400 square
kilometer Project area.
• Results from examination of a number of other areas around the Project area.
Brett Matich, MAX Chief Executive Officer, commente d “The initial examination and the confirmation
results indicate the Cerro de Cobre host rock is a reduced siliciclastic unit supporting our model of an
African Copperbelt-style deposit in eastern Colombi a, further we are very thrilled with these results at
this early stage.
Mr. Matich also stated “Historically, this Cerro de Cobre copper mine has been interpreted as a skarn,
however its location at the base of a significant s hale package located just above an accumulation of
oxidized red beds strongly fits the copper / cobalt model for mineralization found in the Democratic
Republic of Congo and Zambia. The grades and extents of mineralization observed are consistent with
Africa Copperbelt-style mineralization.”

MAX Resource Corp. cautions investors the presence of copper and cobalt mineralization in the DRC and
Zambian deposits is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Cerro De Cobre property.
Sample Number Copper
AKCCR001 1.01%
AKCCR002 0.38%
AKCCR003 1.25%
AKCCR004 2.40%
AKCCR005 0.989%
AKCCR006 1.66%
AKCCR007 7.76%
AKCCR008 11.40%
AKCCR009 10.50%
AKCCR010 9.32%
AKCCR011 1.34%
AKCCR012 0.0902%
AKCCR013 0.0991%
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 t his 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.

The Gachala Copper Project
The Project underlies a 400 square kilometers section of a 250 kilometer long belt of sedimentary rock s
believed to be analogous to the Zambian Copper Belt of Africa. ( Source: Rodriguez and Warden (1993).
Overview of some Colombian gold deposits and their development potential. Mineralium Deposita Volume
28, pages 47-57).
The Project consists of 4 mineral claims and 21 exploration applications totaling approximately 400 square
kilometers and 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 1,500 metre by 800 metre copper-in-soil a nomaly 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 historic sampling combined with the recent mapp ing and sampling completed by MAX indicates
copper appears to be widely dispersed throughout the 400 square kilometer property holdings.
The Company cautions investors that the presence of copper mineralization in the Andean Copper Belt is
not necessarily indicative of copper mineralization on the Project. The Company further cautions
investors that it has not yet verified the historical data.
What is LWIR
MAX has access to Long Wave InfraRed (LWIR) proprietary technology. MAX’s survey was over an area
of approximately 10,000 square kilometers. LWIR is well suited to Colombia, as LWIR allows viewing of
mineral spectra in the first 30 to 60 cm of the earth’s surface through dense vegetation. LWIR bands have
the ability to map or identify, through reflectance spectroscopy against a set of known standards, mineral
distribution over extremely large areas covered by moderate vegetation and shallow cover. MAX is
awaiting the results of the interpretation of the LWIR survey, which are expected soon.
