About Max Resource Corp.
The Company’s wholly owned Sierra Azul Project sits along the Colombian portion of the
world’s largest producing copper belt (Andean belt), with world- class infrastructure and
the presence of global majors (Glencore and Chevron). Max has an Earn- In Agreement
(“EIA”) with Freeport -McMoRan Exploration Corporation (“Freeport”), a wholly owned
affiliate of Freeport -McMoRan Inc. (“NYSE: FCX”) relating to the Sierra Azul Project.
Under the terms of the EIA, Freeport has been granted a two- stage option to acquire up

Max Brazil has now commenced inaugural drill programs at the Florália DSO Project,
consisting of approximately 1,000m of diamond and 800m by a mobile power auger rig.
The Company has added an Australian entity, Max Brazil, to hold the “Florália DSO
Project” through the existing Canadian and Brazilian holding entities. As announced on
January 9, 2025, Max Brazil plans to seek listing on the ASX Limited ("ASX" or "Australian
Stock Exchange").
Max cautions investors the potential quantity and grade of the iron ore is conceptual in nature, and further cautions there has been
insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and Max is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated
as a mineral resource.
Hematite mineralization tonnage potential estimation is based on in situ high-grade outcrops and interpreted and modelled magnetic
anomalies. Density value used for the estimate is 2.8t/m³. Hematite sample grades range between 55-61%Fe. Hematite mineralization
tonnage potential estimation is based on in situ hematite outcrop interpreted and modelled magnetic anomalies. Density value used
for the estimate is 2.5t/m3. The 58 channel samples were collected for chemical analysis from in situ outcrops in previou sly mined
slopes of industrial materials. Channel samples weighed in average 14 kg. Chemical analysis was performed at ALS Laboratories .
Metal Oxides are determined using XRF analysis. Fusion disks are made with pulped samples and the addition of a borate- based
flux. Max did not insert standards or blanks in the assay stream and is relying on ALS's lab QA/QC.
