Max Resource Secures Rights to Acquire 100% of the Mora Gold-Silver Title Adjacent to the Marmato Gold Mine and the Apollo Gold Discovery in Colombia

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2025) - MAX RESOURCE CORP. (TSXV: MAX) (OTC Pink: MXROF) (FSE: M1D2) ("Max" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the Company's wholly-owned Colombian subsidiary, Maximum Company Colombia S.A.S. ("Maximum"), has entered into an arm's-length Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire Mining Concession No. KK6-08031 ("Mora" or the "Title" or the "Property"). Pursuant to Maximum acquiring up to 100% of Inversiones Villamora S.A.S., The Mora Gold-Silver Title (713ha) lies within the productive Middle Cauca Gold Belt host to several major gold deposits, 85-km south of Medellin, Colombia (refer Figures 1 to 3 and Table 1).

Highlights

• The undrilled Title covers 40 historic workings, 5 active mines, a series of polymetallic structures over 2,500m by 1,000m, adjacent to Aris Mining's (TSX: ARIS, NYSE: AIMN) Marmato mine (Reserve:[email protected]/t Au,Resource:[email protected]/t Au,9Moz¹).

• Aris Mining's Marmato title abuts along our 3.4-km eastern boundary, and Collective Mining's (TSX: CNL, NYSE: CNL) Guayabales Project abuts to the north (Apollo Porphyry System), west, south, and vertical east boundaries, 4.8-km in length.

• Highlight, Mora Gold-Silver Title channel sample results include (refer to Table 1)

  • 45.0g/t gold & 7,110g/t silver over 1m;32.0g/t gold & 53g/t silver over 1m.

  • 27.0g/t gold & 732g/t silver over 1m; 8.9g/t gold & 75g/t silver over 1.5m.

  • 36.7 g/t gold over 2m; 3.3 g/t gold & 87 g/t silver over 1m.

Max advises investors that the gold mineralization at the Marmato gold deposit and the Apollo porphyry zone may not necessarily by indicative of similar mineralization at the Mora Property. Max further advises the QP has been unable to verify the information on Marmato and Guaybales and that the information is not necessarily indicative to the mineralization on the Mora property.

"The Mora Gold-Silver Title is of significant size, and provides both, a high-grade Marmato type target, clearly manifested by the numerous small-scale mines and geological proximity and an underlaid Apollo Porphyry type target, again with geological proximity and the series of "polymetallic" structures, which occur on all the targets for the adjacent Guayabales Gold Project, including the recent Apollo discovery," says Max CEO Brett Matich.

"We are excited with the opportunity of being the first exploration Company to conduct significant exploration on the Mora Title. Our in-country expertise abodes well to acting as the sole operator," he concluded.

Discussion of the Mora Gold-Silver Title

The Mora Title is located within a well-established gold mining camp, its eastern boundary lies approximately 600m southeast of the Marmato gold mine (P+P Reserves of [email protected] g/t Au for 3.2Mozs and M+I Resource of [email protected] g/t Au for 6.0Mozs¹). There visually appears to be a series of mineralized polymetallic veins running from Marmato through to the San Juan Sector of the Mora Title. By H2 2026, Aris Mining plans ramping up Marmato's gold production to 200,000 ounces/year.

The geology exposed at Marmato appears very similar in character to Mora, and can be considered analogous, due to its close proximately and geological similarities, including the same type: a) host rocks, b) structural trends, c) styles of mineralization, and d) types of alteration.

These are all key characteristics of the world class bulk tonnage porphyry-related gold deposits of the Middle Cauca Gold Belt.

In addition, Collective Mining's recent Apollo Porphyry System discovery appears to trend over the northern border of the Mora Title. The extensive "polymetallic" sub-parallel mineralized structures identified within the San Juan Sector are of significance. Collective Mining's NI 43:101 titled "Guayabales Gold-Silver-Copper Project", states, "Polymetallic veins occur on all targets" as of the Apollo, Olympus, Donut, Box, Trap and Victory targets.

Max advises investors that the gold mineralization at the Marmato gold deposit and the Apollo porphyry zone may not necessarily by indicative of similar mineralization at the Mora Property. Max further advises the QP has been unable to verify the information on Marmato and Guaybales and that the information is not necessarily indicative to the mineralization on the Mora property.

In April 2025, a 2-day reconnaissance visit was conducted by a geological consultant, on behalf of the Company. Investigation of the San Juan Sector in the northern portion of the Mora Gold-Silver Title, confirmed a series of NW to SE striking polymetallic sub-parallel mineralized structures along over 2,500m of strike, dipping to the SW, across a width of 1,500m SW to NE. Over 40 historic workings and 5 active artisanal gold mines were noted. The polymetallic mineralized structures clearly cross the eastern boundary towards the Marmato gold mine.

The Nan Prospect in the lower SE corner of the Mora Gold-Silver Title, identified one east to west polymetallic mineralized structure dipping to the south and two other polymetallic structure's running NW to SE dipping NE crossing across the boundary trending to Marmato (refer to Table 1).

Historical Work

The mining and exploration on the Mora Gold-Silver Title has been primitive and limited to date. The only recorded exploration are historic workings and artisanal mining, with the exception of a report documenting a field visit in 2012 for Crown Gold Corp².

The author identified numerous high-grade gold and silver sulphide veins exploited by artisanal miners on both Marmato and the Mora Title/Property. His comments include:

"There is no question that the geology of Marmato continues across the Mora title (KK6-08031) boundary in the region of San Juan. Gran Colombia states that their deposit (Marmato) is open and continues at depth and to the west and south, both areas are within in the Mora title"

In addition, the Crown Gold Corp. news release, dated December 20, 2012² stated:

"During a visit in November, Crown gained access to, and channel sampled, 7 of the 40 adits which it has located to date, on the Mora Property. A total of 7 channels were cut in these 7 adits and all samples returned gold and silver values. The weighted average value of gold was 13.2 g/t over 5.9m sampled, while the weighted average value of silver was 1,647 g/t.

Sampling to date has been concentrated within 1-km² block (San Juan Sector) of the 7-km² Mora Property. There appears to be a series of mineralized "polymetallic" veins running through the Mora Property, similar mineralization to Gran Colombia's Marmato gold deposit, which lies adjacent east side of the Mora Property.

The Marmato property has a 43:101 measured and indicated resource of over 11.7Mozs of gold and 80Mozs of silver to vertical depth of 400m. In addition, recent drilling at Marmato has revealed high grade mineralization extending a further 700m below the present resource"

Next Steps

The continuing artisanal mining development which predates Colombian times, modern development of the world class Marmato gold mine and the most recent Apollo gold discovery in 2023, underlines the potential of the Mora Property for bulk mining exploitation.

The initial exploration program consists of three goals:

• collect all historic data and perform a property wide assessment.

• identify and map all historic workings and active mines.

• conduct outcrop, road cut geological mapping and sampling all to initiate stage two.

Max has an Earn-In Agreement ("EIA") with Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation ("Freeport"), a wholly owned affiliate of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. relating to the Sierra Azul Project. Under the terms of the EIA, Freeport has been granted a two-stage option to acquire up to an 80% ownership interest in the Sierra Azul Project by funding cumulative expenditures of C$50m and cash payments totaling C$1.55m. Max is the operator of the initial stage. The USD $4.8m 2025 exploration program for the Sierra Azul Project is fully funded by Freeport.

Max Iron Brazil's wholly owned Florália Hematite DSO Project is located 67-km east of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil's largest iron ore and steel producing State. Max's technical team has significantly expanded the Florália Hematite DSO Geological Target from 8-12mt at 58% Fe to 50-70mt at 55%-61% Fe.

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 geological 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. The 58 channel samples were collected for chemical analysis from in situ outcrops in previously mined slopes of industrial materials.
