Max Resource Secures Major Landholdings Covering 140-kilometres of Prospective Copper-Silver Mineralization at its CESAR Project, NE Colombia
Vancouver B.C., January 27, 2021 – MAX RESOURCE CORP. (“Max” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: MXR; OTC: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D2) is pleased report the newly acquired CESAR West, encompassing of approximately 2,000 square kilometres of highly prospective area for copper-silver mineralization, at the Company’s wholly owned CESAR project, North Eastern Colombia (refer to Figure 1).
“CESAR West was identified through surface structural mapping, interpretation of available seismic sections and drill core review. The Max in-country field crew have commenced sampling and mapping for Jurassic host rock and copper mineralization along this new 140-kilometre-long landholding,” commented Max CEO, Brett Matich.
“Max has achieved a major milestone, expanding the CESAR landholdings by over 300%. The newly discovered area of 140-kilometres strike length, lies along the central-western part of the Cesar basin, and together with the recent copper discovery at depth, supports the district scale potential of the CESAR project,” he concluded.

Max believes that the stratabound mineralized system is analogous to Kupferschiefer in Poland. The Kupferschiefer deposits, Europe’s largest copper source, produced 3MT of copper in 2018 and 40 million ounces of silver in 2019 from an orebody 0.5 to 5.5-metres thick, grading 1.49% copper and 48.6 g/t silver. This silver yield is almost twice the production of the world’s second largest silver mine.

Max cautions investors that the presence of copper-silver mineralization at Kupferschiefer is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization at CESAR.
CESAR COPPER-SILVER PROJECT IN COLOMBIA
The CESAR project in north eastern Colombia is basin-scale, covering a major portion of 200-km long sediment-hosted copper-silver belt. This region enjoys major infrastructure as a result of oil & gas and mining operations, including Cerrejon, the largest coal mine in Latin America, jointly owned by global miners BHP Billiton, XStrata and Anglo American (refer to Figure 3).
Max has entered into three non-exclusive confidentiality agreements regarding the CESAR project: one with one of the world’s leading copper producers; a second with a global mining company and a third with a mid-tier copper explorer.
The exploration priorities for the CESAR project are: regional geochemical sampling, structural modelling interpretation of seismic data, analysis of oil & gas drill cores and expansion of landholdings.
Exploration activities on multiple fronts include:
CESAR North:
- AM North, consisting of 29 sq.km of continuous copper-silver mineralization, open along strike and down dip for over 4-km. Highlight values range from 0.3 to 34.4% copper and 5 to 305 g/t silver from 0.1 to 25-metre (October 10, 2020);
- AM South, occurring along the same stratabound mineralized trend, 40-km SSW of AM North, covering 16 sq.km. Highlight values of 6.8% copper and 168 g/t silver from 0.1 to 25-metre intervals (October 7, 2020);
CESAR South: 340 sq.km property, hosting stratabound copper-silver over at least 15-km of strike with highlight grab sample values of 11.4% copper + 656 g/t silver (November 9, 2020);
CESAR West: covers a newly discovered copper-silver area of 140-kilometres strike length, lies along the central-western part of the Cesar basin, and together with the recent copper discovery at depth, supports the district scale potential of the CESAR project (January 27, 2021);
Drill Core Discovery: through XRF analysis copper mineralization was recently encountered in historical drill core potentially extending mineralization down dip to depths in excess of 400-metres (January 7, 2021);
Geochemical and Mineralogical: research programs by the University of Science and Technology (“AGH”) of Krakow, Poland are ongoing. AGH bring their extensive knowledge of KGHM’s world renowned Kupferschiefer sediment-hosted copper-silver deposits in Poland to the CESAR project;
Geophysics: Fathom Geophysics continues interpreting geophysical data funded by the Company in collaboration with one of the world's leading copper producers;
Structural Modelling: drill core and seismic analysis is being conducted by Ingeniería Geológica Universidad Nacional de Colombia (“IGUN”) in Medellín, and the Max team.
CESAR WEST ACQUISTION
The Company has secured 20 mineral applications from an arm's length vendor by agreeing to pay USD $175,000. The Vendor retains a 3% NSR with the Company having the exclusive right to purchase 100% of the 3% NSR for USD $4,000,000, any time prior to production.
ABOUT MAX RESOURCE CORP.
