Max Resource Receives First Mining Concession Contract for its CESAR Project in North Eastern Colombia

Vancouver, November 17, 2021 - Max Resource Corp. (TSXV: MXR) (OTC Pink: MXROF) (FSE: M1D2) ("Max" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has received its first Mining Concession Contract for the URU zone, located along the CESAR North 90-kilometre-long copper-silver belt, within the wholly-owned CESAR copper-silver project in North Eastern Colombia (refer to Figures 1 to 5).

"Receipt of this initial Mining Concession Contract is a key step in obtaining drill permits and developing a plan for the very first drilling program on the URU copper-silver zone," commented Max CEO, Brett Matich.

"The Max technical team is now working in the field to identify drill targets over the approved Mining Concession Contract and continue to expand the 48-km² URU zone, located along the southern portion of the 90-kilometre-long CESAR North copper-silver belt," he concluded.

The Colombian Mining Concession Contract process includes, amongst other requirements, a detailed Social Management Plan, followed by a public hearing with the local community. The public hearing for the Mining Concession Contract (501537) took place on September 2, 2021, followed by the issue of the Contract. Mining Concession Contracts have an initial term of 30-years and include an extension for a further 30-years for a total duration of 60-years.

Today at 3pm EST at the Colombian Gold Symposium (CGS2021) in Medellin, Max's technical consultant, Dr. Christian Grainger will present the CESAR copper-silver project; this presentation can be viewed by live stream. The CGS2021 Conference is a leading, in-person regional event focused on gold and copper exploration and development, as the world transitions to clean electrification and decarbonisation.

Max interprets the sediment-hosted stratiform copper-silver mineralization in the Cesar basin to be analogous to both the Central African Copper Belt (CACB) and the Kupferschiefer deposits in Poland. Almost 50% of the copper known to exist in sediment-hosted deposits is contained in the CACB, including Ivanhoe Mines Ltd (TSX: IVN) 95-billion-pound Kamoa-Kakula discovery in the Congo.

Kupferschiefer, the world's largest silver producer and Europe's largest copper source, is a mining orebody ranging from 0.5 to 5.5m thick at depths of 500m, grading 1.49% copper and 48.6 g/t silver. The silver yield is almost twice the production of the world's second largest silver mine.

Max cautions investors that the presence of copper mineralization of the Central African Copper Belt and the Polish Kupferschiefer are not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization at CESAR.

CESAR COPPER-SILVER PROJECT IN COLOMBIA - OVERVIEW

CESAR lies along the copper-silver rich 180-kilometre-long Cesar basin in northeastern Colombia. This region enjoys major infrastructure resulting from oil & gas and mining operations, including Cerrejon, the largest coal mine in Latin America, now held by global miner Glencore (refer to Figures 3 and 4).

CESAR North 90-kilometre-long-copper-silver belt:

• In 2020, Max discovered both the copper-silver rich AMS (previously named AM South) zone and the AMN (previously named AM North) zone 40-km north, collectively spanning over 45-km². Highlight values of 34.4% copper and 305 g/t silver. Intervals range from 0.5 to 25.0m.

• In March 2021, Max's announced the CONEJO discovery, now spanning 3.7-km of strike and open in all directions. To date, 13 rock samples returned values greater than 8.0% copper; 53 returned values greater than 5.0% copper; 93 returned values 2.0% copper and above; 36 returned values greater than 20 g/t silver. Widths range from 0.5 to 20.0m. Highlight values of 12.5 % copper and 126 g/t silver (November 3, 2021 NR):

• The new SP target reconnaissance composite grab sampling over a 25.0m outcrop averaging 4.8% copper and 51 g/t silver is considered significant (September 7, 2021 NR)

• NEXT STEPS: Regional exploration along the 90-kilometre-long CESAR North copper-silver belt. In addition, the Max technical team are now working in the field to identify drill targets over the approved Mining Concession Contract and continue to expand the 48-km² URU zone
