Max Resource Expands the URU Zone to 48-km², CESAR North, NE Colombia
Vancouver B.C., October 7, 2021 – MAX RESOURCE CORP. (“Max” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: MXR; OTC: MXROF;
Frankfurt: M1D2) is pleased to report new assay results expanding the URU zone from 12-km² to over 48-km², located
along the CESAR North 80km-long belt, within the wholly-owned CESAR project in NE Colombia (refer to Figure 3).
Highlights
- 14.8% copper and 132 g/t silver outcrop over 1.5m x 0.8m panel (876798)
- 6.5% copper and 6 g/t silver outcrop over widths of 1.0m chip channel (876931)
- 5.6% copper and 87 g/t silver outcrop over 1.0m by 1.0m panel (879972)
- 4.0% copper and 42 g/t silver outcrop over 1.0m by 1.0m panel (879975)
- 3.7% copper and 14 g/t silver outcrop over widths of 5.0m chip channel (876486)
- 2.9% copper and 7 g/t silver outcrop over widths of 10.0m representative (876460)
- 2.1% copper and 3 g/t silver outcrop over widths of 10.0m representative (876478)
- 2.0% copper and 20 g/t silver outcrop over widths of 10.0m representative (876922)
• URU’s continuous copper-silver mineralization now spans over 48-km², extending along strike over 12-km and
down dip over 4-km from the elevation of 1200m down to 410m, and is open along strike and down dip (refer
Figure 1, 2 and 4).
• Eighteen rock samples collected over widths ranging from 1.0 to 10.0m returned values in excess of 2.0%
copper. Thirty-two returned values greater than 1.0% copper. Highlight values are 14.8 % copper and 132 g/t
silver (refer to Table 1).
“The URU 48-km² zone remains open in all directions and potentially represents a zone of major proportions when
compared to the world class Kupferschiefer and the Central African Belt deposits,” commented Max CEO, Brett Matich.
"In addition, MAX is conducting on-going exploration at the other four zones (CONEJO, SP, AMN, AMS, refer to Figure 3)
within the CESAR North 80-kilometre-long-copper-silver belt of significant regional potential," he continued.
"The world’s transition to clean energy can only be accomplished with copper to build power grids, solar and wind
farms, electric vehicles which typically require upwards of 180 pound of copper per vehicle. Copper's rapidly declining
reserve base necessitates the need for new major discoveries of copper, positioning Max to take advantage of the
copper shortfalls with the potential district size of the CESAR discoveries," he concluded.

Visible mineralization reports the presence of chalcocite, native copper and copper oxides. Two types of mineral events
have been observed. On type is hosted in a stockwork within igneous host rock and is associated with the presence of
epidote and the second type is sediment -hosted stratiform copper silver mineralization of Kupferschiefer type. The
stratiform type is cross cut by the mineralized stockwork associated with igneous rocks.

Table 1. Rock assay results that returned over 1.0% copper. Max cautions investors that panel and representative grab
sampling can be selective and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization.
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 ranging from
0.5 to 5.5m thick at depths of 500m, 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.

and Zambia by USGS 2010. Kamoa-Kakula by OreWin March 2020. World Silver Survey 2020 and Kupferschiefer Deposits
& Prospects in SW Poland, September 27, 2019. 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 5).

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 exp loration teams continue to target new copper -silver
stratabound mineralized zones.
CESAR North 80-kilometre-long-copper-silver zone:
- In 2020, Max discovered both the copper-silver rich AMS (previously named AM South) zone and the AMN
(previously named AM North) zone 40-km north, collectively spanning over 45-km². Highlight values of 0.5 to
34.4% copper and 5 to 305 g/t silver range over outcrop intervals ranging 0.1 to 25.0m;
- In March 2021, Max’s announced the CONEJO discovery, now spanning 3.2-km by 1.6 -km and open in all
directions. CONEJO returned values greater than 5.0% copper from 23 rock panels varying from 5.0m by 5.0m
to 1.0m by 1.0m. In addition, 66 rock panel samples returned values over 1.0% copper (March 24, 2021 NR):
- 12.5% copper + 84 g/t silver over 5.0m by 5.0m
- 10.5% copper + 50 g/t silver over 3.0m by 2.0 m
- 10.4% copper + 95 g/t silver over 5.0m by 5.0m
- 10.2% copper + 62 g/t silver over 5.0m by 5.0m
- 10.0% copper + 80 g/t silver over 5.0m by 5.0m
- 8.7% copper + 89 g/t silver over 5.0m by 5.0m
- 8.4% copper + 60 g/t silver over 5.0m by 5.0m
- 7.9% copper + 21 g/t silver over 5.0m by 5.0m
- 7.7% copper + 84 g/t silver over 5.0m by 5.0m
- 7.4% copper + 47 g/t silver over 5.0m by 5.0m
- The 2021 URU discovery is located 30-km south of CONEJO, now expanded to 48-km² and open in all
directions. URU appears to have major-scale potential; Thirteen rock samples over widths ranging from 10
to 25.0m returned values of 2.0% copper and above, thirty-seven returned values greater than 1.0% copper,
with highlight values of 5.7 % copper and 37 g/t silver:
- 4.3% copper and 8 g/t silver outcrop over widths of 10.0m
- 3.9% copper and 7 g/t silver outcrop over widths of 10.0m
- 3.6% copper and 12 g/t silver outcrop over widths of 10.0m
- 3.0% copper and 6 g/t silver outcrop over widths of 10.0m
- 3.0% copper and 37 g/t silver outcrop over widths of 10.0m
- By late April 2021, at CESAR North 80-km belt MAX had identified five copper discoveries URU, CONEJO, SP,
AMN and AMS;
- The new SP discovery target September 2021 spans over 1.6-kilometres and is open in all directions. The
reconnaissance composite grab sampling over a 25.0m outcrop averaging 4.8% copper and 51 g/t silver is
considered very significant, as it indicates the presence of a higher copper and silver grades within the
25.0m interval.
- Exploration continues on the CONEJO and URU zones;
- In addition, Max has initiated the process of mineral claim approvals and drill permitting;
• CESAR West: Max has identified copper porphyry-style mineralization.
