About Max Resource Corp.

Sierra Azul Copper Silver (wholly owned) sits along the Colombian portion of the world’s largest producing copper belt (Andean belt) adjacent to world-class infrastructure and the presence of global majors (Glencore and Chevron). Fully funded by global miner Freeport-McMoRan relating to rights to earn up to 80% by funding $50 million of accumulated expenditures. Backed by support of Freeport-McMoRan, the Max team views as validation of the geological and mining potential of Sierra Azul. On April 28, 2026, as part of the 2026 exploration season, Max reported high-grade channel results over intervals from 16 to 59m significantly expanded the Manto-style mineralized footprint to over 8 km² within the AM District.

Mora Gold Silver (right to purchase 100%) lies along the most productive Middle Cauca Gold Belt encompasses numerous historic workings, 5 active mines, a series of exposed polymetallic structures spread over 2,500m by 1,000m.
