Max Resource Identifies New Drill Target Area at Uru, NE Colombia

01.02.2022  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, February 1, 2022 - Max Resource Corp. (TSXV: MXR) (OTC Pink: MXROF) (FSE: M1D2) ("Max" or the "Company") is pleased to report that its geological field crews have identified a second Uru drill target area, located 2-km south of the previously announced target area (refer to December 8, 2021, news release). Uru sits along the southern portion of the Company's Cesar copper-silver project in northeastern Colombia (refer to Figure 1, 2, Table 1 and Uru video link).

The new drill target lies at the southern end of the 15-kilometre-long Uru zone, where systematic sampling has identified strong copper mineralization within a sub-basin structural regime.

Of the 45 channel and composite samples released today, 38 of 45 were sampled over intervals of 10.0 to 25.0-metres, all returned copper values over 1.0%, spread over a significant area of 4 km2. Highlight values of 4.34% copper and 37 g/t silver were encountered.

Highlights

  • 4.34% copper over widths of 10.0-metres (876065¹)
  • 3.93% copper over widths of 10.0-metres (878781¹)
  • 3.72% copper over widths of 5.0-metre (876486²)
  • 3.10% copper over widths of 3.0-metre (876488²)
  • 3.01% copper over widths if 10-metre (876379¹)
  • 2.98% copper over widths of 10-metre (876363¹)
  • 2.98% copper over widths of 10-metre (878685¹)
  • 2.92% copper over widths of 10-metre (876460¹)
  • 2.71 copper over widths of 25.0-metre (876288¹)

"The objective of our maiden drill program is to test the scale and continuity of strong copper mineralization at depth along several drill targets within the URU mining concessions covering 70 km2. The Cesar basin's last major discovery was the Cerrejón coal mine some 30-years ago, however past exploration has not targeted large copper deposits within this highly mineralized sedimentary basin," commented Max CEO, Brett Matich.

"Cerrejón, operated by Glencore, is located 70-km northeast of Uru, and is the largest coal mine in South America and the reason for much of the critical mining infrastructure," he concluded.

Geologically, Max interprets the Uru sediment-hosted copper-silver mineralization analogous to the Central African Copper Belt (CACB). Almost 50% of the copper known to exist in sediment-hosted deposits is contained within the CACB, including Ivanhoe Mines Ltd 95-billion-pound Kamoa-Kakula discovery in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The Uru zone lies along a major structural corridor that connects the upper sediment-dominated part of the Cesar basin to the lower volcano-sedimentary portions. These mineralized structures consist of faults and breccias that lie just below the sedimentary basin within a metavolcanic unit. At Uru, Max has traced copper-silver mineralization over 15-kilometres of strike, widths observed in the field range between 1.0 and 25.0-metres, with vertical relief ranging from 1,200 down to 410 metres.

The Uru copper mineralization continues to be predominantly primary chalcocite (80% copper by wt.) with localized weathering to malachite and associated with silver credits similar to the mineralization characterized in the upper sedimentary horizons seen elsewhere in the Cesar basin.

Exploration Update

Max currently has a team of nine in-country geologists conducting first pass sampling and evaluation of the Cesar basin. The Company is also proceeding with preparation for the inaugural Uru drill campaign in this newly identified copper-silver sedimentary basin. Additional undertakings include:

  • LiDAR 290-km² survey and field work to assist drill design
  • Environmental baseline survey underway
  • Drill target prioritization
  • Delineate drill pads, permitting and initial drilling program
