Max Resource to Acquire Gold Properties in Colombia, Historic Production of 605,110ozs

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2018) - MAX RESOURCE CORP.(TSXV: MXR) (OTC Pink: MXROF) (FSE: M1D) ("MXR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") dated June 14, 2018, with Noble Metals Ltd ("Noble") to acquire 100% of three subsidiaries of Noble. The first subsidiary � Condoto Platinum Limited ("Condoto") � owns 100% of mineral claims and more importantly exclusive first rights to explore 105,975 prospective hectares, along with fully established infrastructure at the town of Novita, Colombia, approximately 100km SW of the city of Medellin (the "Novita Property"). The second subsidiary � Global Products Manufacture & Services S.A.S. ("GPS Lab") � wholly owns a precious metals smelter and refinery facility located in the International Free Trade Zone in Cali, Colombia, and the third subsidiary, Global Products Manufacture & Services S.A.S. ("GPS Products"), is the U.S. sales branch that has been established for GPS Lab.

Highlights:

• First exploration and mining rights over an area of 1,060sqkm.

• Historic surface production of 605,110 ounces of gold, exposed gold bearing conglomerates.

• One historic mine uncovered conglomerates over 3,200m by 800m.

• El Tambito shear zone discovery, returning three continuous channel gold assays of 71.88 g/t, 63.22 g/t & 54.67 g/t over 9.8m, which averaged 63.25 g/t gold, an associated select grab sample returned 220 g/t gold. Max cautions investors that grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the Novita Property.

• Novita on-site bulk sampling facilities provides geologic data in real time.

• Novita on-site purpose-built 30 man exploration camp.

• Licensed smelting, refining and manufacturing facility.

• Noble Chairman to join the MXR Board as non-executive Chairman.

Brett Matich, MXR Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Potentially, Novita could be the next frontier for large scale open-pit and low-cost gravity gold separation, an excellent combination."

A previous owner, Choco Pacific Mining Company, reported historic production of 605,110 ounces of gold produced from 1906 to 1990 over surface areas within the Novita Property. Mining was restricted from surface to a depth of 10m to 20m, where unmined gold-bearing conglomerates were encountered.

The gold mineralization is hosted by a sequence of conglomerate beds and gravel horizons from a few metres to approximately 20 metres in thickness.

Within the Novita Property, one surface gold mine exposed what appeared to be gold bearing conglomerates, spread over an area 3,200m long by 800m wide. (Source: Robert B. White. 1897 Gold and platinum at Novita Vieja, Colombia. Engineering and Mining Journal. Feb 20, 1897. Quoted in R.J.Fletcher & Associates (2011) Review of Gold and Platinum Exploration and Production in Choco Province, Colombia Part 3. Private Report for Condoto Platinum Ltd). Conglomerate deposits are extensive and have not been exploited on a significant scale in the past, as their gold potential has generally been ignored (Source as above).

A 2013 gold-bearing shear zone discovery on Cerro Torra at El Tambito, east of Novita, has yet to be followed up. Continuous channel sampling across the zone returned individual gold assays of 71.88 g/t, 63.22 g/t, 54.67 g/t for an average grade of 63.25 g/t gold over 9.8m and a selected grab sample assayed 220 g/t gold. MXR plans to first conduct detailed mapping to better delineate the extent and tenor of the mineralization. Max again cautions investors that grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the Novita Property.

Cerro Torra located in the SW area of the Novita Property, is a 70 sqkm quartz monzonite intrusion rising from 700m to 2,670m. All rivers draining Cerro Torra's northern and western slopes produced significant volumes of documented gold, and in combination with the El Tambito shear zone discovery and reported copper anomalies on its southern slope make it a high priority target.

Max cautions investors it has yet to verify the historic information.

Exploration Strategy - Identify the Extent and Tenor of the Mineralization

MXR plans to focus on the extent and the tenor of the gold bearing conglomerate mineralization. To that end, the Company's Novita exploration team has commenced verification surface mapping and sampling of the gold bearing conglomerate horizons as part of its due diligence exploration. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company plans to initiate trenching and bulk sampling programs to obtain estimates on grade, volumes and the lateral extent of the mineralization.

Concurrently, MXR's Gachala exploration team will remain focused on identifying the extent and tenor of the sedimentary copper hosted mineralization in the Gachala region, located 60km east of Bogota, Colombia.

Novita Exploration Camp and Bulking Testing Facilities

The Novita Property also contains a purpose built a 30 person "Camp Compound", which is essential for establishing all season exploration in the Choco region. The camp's bulk sampling, magnetic and gravity separation room is ideal for larger bulk tonnage. The "Mobile Bulk Sampling Concentrator" is used to access bulk sampling gold concentrations in the field. These facilities can rapidly process samples into concentrate to help direct exploration and prove invaluable geologic data as well as bulk sample material.

Brett Matich, MXR Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Mr. Hayden was an early crusader in recognizing the value of the mineral fields of Southern Africa. Over the recent years, he has identified a prolific portfolio of Colombian mineral assets."

Mr. Hayden comments: "We are very happy to partner with Max Resources into our highly prospective exploration tenure which we believe host under explored tier 1 assets."
