Max Resource Reports 5.6% Copper and 70 g/t Silver From 13 Metre by 1 Metre
Panel at the Newly Discovered AM-2 Horizon within the AM South Zone on its
CESAR Project, NE Colombia
Vancouver B.C., J uly 14, 2020 – MAX RESOURCE CORP. (“Max” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: MXR; OTC:
MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D2 ) is pleased to report significant assay results from the newly -discovered copper-silver
stratabound AM-2 horizon, within the AM South zone, at the Company’s wholly-owned CESAR project, located 420-
km north of Bogota, Colombia (refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3).
New outcrops, with highlight panel values of 5.8% copper and 80 g/t silver, have now extended the Kupferschiefer
type copper-silver mineralization of the AM-2 horizon over 1.1-kilometres along strike, with the horizon remaining
open along strike and down dip. The AM-2 horizon is presently interpreted to be an offset and down dropped
equivalent of the AM-1 horizon (July 8, 2020).
New outcrop panel and composite grab assay results include:
• 5.8% copper + 80 g/t silver over 7-metres by 1-metre (panel);
• 5.6% copper + 70 g/t silver over 13-metres by 1-metre (panel);
• 4.3% copper + 57 g/t silver over 3-metres by 3-metre (panel);
• 3.6% copper + 48 g/t silver over 7-metres by 1-metre (panel);
• 3.4% copper + 20 g/t silver over 2-metres (composite grab);
• 2.3% + 20 g/t silver over 2-metres; (composite grab);
• 2.1% copper + 8 g/t silver over 2-metres;
• 1.7% copper + 13 g/t silver over 5-metres (composite grab);
• 1.7% and 13 g/t silver over 2-metres (composite grab);
• 1.6% copper + 26 g/t silver over 2-metres (composite grab); and
• 1.2% copper + 10 g/t silver over 2-metres (composite grab).
Rock panel and composite grab samples are considered to be representative, but cautions investors that individual
grab samples can be selective and may not be representative of continuous mineralization.
Our in-country field team is now mapping, sampling and confirming the continuity of mineralized horizons within the
4-kilometre by 3 -kilometre AM South zone. The cumulative strike length of the open- ended AM South horizons
exceeds 5.8-kilometres, suggesting these horizons could be of significant size.
The AM South zone copper-silver mineralization is interpreted to be of stratabound/Kupferschiefer type hosted in fine-
grained sediments. The principal minerals are chalcocite, a copper sulphide, and copper oxides malachite and azurite.
The Kupferschiefer is Europe’s largest copper mine, with 2018 production of 30 million tonnes grading 1.49% copper
and 48.6 g/t silver from a mineralized zone of 0.5 to 5.5-metre thickness. It’s also the world’s leading silver producer,
yielding 40 million ounces in 2019, almost twice the production of the world’s second largest silver mine (World Silver
Survey 2020). Max cautions investors that the use of the Kupferschiefer model does not necessarily indicat e the
presence of such mineralization at CESAR.
“Our field teams continue to locate stratabound copper-silver mineralization within the key horizon units as they trace
these horizons along strike and down dip. We feel more and more confident the Company is on the verge of a
significant mineral discovery at CESAR,” stated Max CEO. Brett Matich.
“Along with the continuing exploration providing on-going assay results from AM South zone, we eagerly await assay
results from the 11-kilometre AM North zone, located 40-kilometres north of the AM South zone, along the targeted
stratabound copper-silver mineralized trend. We also look forward to initial results from Fathom Geophysics, our
strategic research partners in collaboration with both, AGH Krakow, Poland, one of the world’s leading copper
producers, and the National University of Colombia,” he concluded.

Quality Assurance
All samples were shipped to the ALS Lab sample preparation facility in Medellin, Colombia. Sample pulps are sent to
Vancouver, Canada for analysis. All samples are analyzed using ALS procedure ME-MS41, a four-acid digestion with
ICP finish. Over limit copper and silver are determined by ALS procedure OG -62, a four-acid digestion with an AAS
finish. ALS Labs is independent from Max. Max is not aware of any other factors that could materially affect the
accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
CESAR Sediment-Hosted Copper-Silver Project - Overview
The wholly-owned CESAR project in north east Colombia lies along a 120-km sediment-hosted copper-silver belt, that
resembles the Kupferschiefer in Poland.
The CESAR region enjoys major infrastructure. Mining operations includ e Cerrejon, the largest coal mine in Latin
America, jointly owned by global miners BHP Billiton, XStrata and Anglo American.
Important highlights for the CESAR Project:
• AM North discoveries lie along a broad 11-km continuous zone of copper-silver mineralization. The northern
end the open-ended “Herradura Zone” returned values of 24.8% copper + 230 g/t silver from a continuous 4-
metre by 1-metre rock chip channel and 10.4% copper + 88 g/t silver from a continuous 1- metre rock chip
channel. Two subsequent bulk samples 1.8-km apart returned 10.4% copper + 88g/t silver and 3.5% copper
+ 29 g/t silver. The newly discovered “Ventana Zone”,11-km to the south, returned highlight outcrop values of
2.70% copper + 4 g/t silver over 2-metres;
• The AM South zone occurs 40-km SSW of the AM North zone, within the same stratabound copper-silver
mineralized trend. The AM South zone extends over an area of 4-km x 3-km, and remain opens laterally.
The open-ended mineralized horizons extending over 5.8-km; highlight panel values include: 5.8% copper +
80 g/t silver over 7-metre by 1-metre; 5.6% copper + 70 g/t silver over 13-metre by 1-metre; 4.3% copper +
57 g/t silver over 3-metre by 3-metre; 3.6% copper + 48 g/t silver over 7-metre by 1-metre; 3.5% copper + 26
g/t silver over 10-metre by 2-metre.
• Structural analysis conducted by Ingeniería Geológica Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Medellín
concluded the stratabound copper-silver mineralization at the Herradura Zone forms a continuous mineralized
horizon (June 9, 2020);
• A technical study by Fathom Geophysics in collaboration with one of the world’s leading copper producers is
well underway (May 13, 2020);
• Mineralogy results from the University of Science and Technology (“AGH”) research study are pending. AGH
is located in Krakow, Poland has a long history of cooperation with KGHM, the largest copper producer in
Europe and the world's largest silver producer (April 21, 2020);
• Additional assays are pending for both AM North and AM South; and
• Active field work has now re-commenced.
Max’s aim is to demonstrate the potential of the CESAR district as a significant copper and silver regional basin.
EBAY Palladium-Platinum Project - Summary
The EBAY palladium-platinum project, located 30- km SE of Matagami in the Abitibi Region of Quebec, Canada, is
underlain by the Archean Bell River Complex, a layered mafic intrusion measuring 65- km by 15-km and 5-km thick.
Max has entered into an Option Agr eement pursuant to which the Company may acquire a 100% interest of EBAY
(May 12, 2020).
Highlight exploration of ballast pit sampling between 2000 to 2008 returned: 4.9 g/t palladium-platinum from a 4 to 5-
metre wide zone; 3 g/t palladium + 1.4 g/t platinum + 0.12 rhodium in 2005; 2.5 g/t palladium-platinum from a newly
discovered 500-metre long zone in 2006. The Company cautions investors that grab samples are selected samples
and are not necessarily representative of mineralization.
EBAY drilling in 2006 intersected 1.90 g/t palladium-platinum over 3-metres from 80.5 to 83.5-metres. Further drilling
discovered a new zone comprising 600- metres of strike, 120- metres deep, 6.7 to 31.1- metres wide, open in all
directions, with highlight values of 2.52 g/t palladium-platinum. Subsequent aero-magnetic survey extended the target
zone to 4.8-km of strike (March 25, 2020).
Choco Platinum Gold Project - Summary
CHOCO gold-platinum project (250 sq.km) is located 120-km SW of Medellin Colombia, within a district with historical
production of 1.5Mozs of gold and 1.0Mozs of platinum (1906-1990) by Choco Pacific Mining. Compilation of historical
records revealed the potential for related PGE’s particularly palladium and rhodium. In addition, recent field wor k in
2019 by Max resulted in concentrate values of 114 g/t platinum and 341 g/t gold (April 16, 2019). Source: R.J. Fletcher
