MAX drills 4.6 m @ 58.0 g/t Ag and 7.6 m @ 0.80% copper within an overall mineralized intercept of 332 m @ 12.0 g/t Ag and 0.13% Cu (23.9 g/t AgEq) in oxides at Majuba Hill, Nevada; new historic data

VANCOUVER, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - MAX Resource Corp. (TSXV: MXR), (OTCBB: MXROF), (Frankfurt: M1D) has received assays from the first hole of an eight hole (872 m) Phase III core drilling program completed at its Majuba Hill silver/copper/gold project in Nevada in June 2012.  This first hole, MM-21, was drilled to a depth of 351 metres ("m") and confirms the southeast extension of near-surface high-grade supergene oxide mineralization identified by Max at the historic Majuba Hill mine during 2011. Hole MM-21 intercepted 4.6 m @ 58.0 g/t Ag and 7.6 m @ 0.80% Cu within an overall mineralized intercept of 332 m @ 12 g/t Ag and 0.13% Cu (23.9 g/t silver equivalent ("AgEq")) in oxides that began within 12 m of surface.

Hole MM-21 was collared approximately 250 m southeast of the middle portal of the past-producing Majuba Hill mine, where Phase I drilling by MAX in 2011 intercepted long intervals of high grade silver and copper mineralization near surface in five holes, which included:

  • 96 m of 39.2 g/t Ag, 0.57% Cu and 0.10 g/t Au (98.3 g/t AgEq) in hole MM-06
  • 50.3 m of 50.8 g/t Ag, 0.31% Cu and 0.31 g/t Au (86.7 g/t AgEq) in MM-07
  • 42.7 m of 37.5 g/t Ag and 0.38% Cu (73.0 g/t AgEq) in hole MM-03

Hole MM-21 confirms that a southeast trending ridge of high-grade oxide mineralization extends a further 500 m to the southeast from the Majuba Hill mine to the Ball Park target area, where drilling in 2011 (hole MM-17) intercepted 42.7 m of 16.8 g/t Ag, 13.7 m of 15.9 g/t Ag and 6.16 m of 51.0 g/t Ag. A map showing drilling locations from the 2011 exploration programs at Majuba Hill, as well as the location of MM-21, is available on our web site at www.maxresource.com.

Significant intervals from hole MM-21 are summarized in the following table:

MAX has just recently obtained some of the data from drilling completed by the Minefinders Exploration group at Majuba Hill in 1974-5.  This information was obtained from a reliable source but readers are cautioned that this information predates NI 43-101 and is not NI 43-101 compliant; it is provided for information purposes only and should not be relied upon.  This data included Minefinders hole MF-01, which was drilled a further 250 meters to the southeast of hole MM-21 at an azimuth of 288 and a -54 angle to a total depth of 707 meters. Hole MF-01 was assayed on 3 meter intervals and contained 155.4 m @ 9.23 g/t Ag and 0.221% Cu starting at a down hole depth of 220 meters.  Minefinders hole MF 2 was drilled at the same location as MAX's hole MM-17 to a depth of 387 m and intercepted 30.5 m @ 0.60% Cu from 85.3 m to 115.8m. It also contained 91.4 m @ 11.2 g/t Ag from 42.7 m to 134.1 m, inclusive of 9.1 m @ 53.0 g/t. These drill results, combined with the results from our hole MM-21, serve to expand the known mineralized silver/copper zone for 500 m to the southeast and to a depth of at least 350 m from surface.

Assay results are expected shortly for the remaining seven holes of the program, which were shallow and were drilled to test near-surface mineralization at the DeSoto soil anomaly 1.4 km to the northwest, where hole MM-18 intercepted 29.2 m of 30.5 g/t Ag and 0.69% Cu (98.3 g/t AgEq) in the fall of 2011.  The high grade DeSoto soil anomaly was defined by soil sampling and measures approximately 2 km long by 1 km wide, with values as high as 1.53% Cu and 209 g/t Ag in soils.  

Majuba Hill is the site of numerous past producing mines, with historic production reported of 12% copper (Mason Valley Copper, 1918) and silver grades up to 40 oz/t Ag.  The Majuba Hill project encompasses 3,128 acres of surface and mineral rights that includes patented lode mining claims.  The property is easily accessed via 23 miles of well-maintained dirt roads leading from U.S. Interstate 80, and lies 30 miles northwest of Coeur d'Alene's Rochester silver mine, which contains a NI 43-101 compliant Measured and Indicated Resource of 263.9 million tons grading 0.46 oz/ton Ag and 0.004 oz/ton Au.  (The Coeur Technical Report on the Rochester Mine is available on SEDAR).
