MAX
appoints Ian Smith, F.AusIMM, as Director
MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V:
MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) is pleased to announce the appointment
of Ian Smith, B.E. (Mining) Hons, F.AusIMM, CP Mgmt, as a director of the
Company.
Mr. Smith graduated from the
University of Queensland, Australia with a degree in mining engineering and has
over 40 years of international experience in corporate development, operations,
project management and consulting within the base, precious metals and coal
industries. Mr. Smith is the President and Chief Executive
Officer of Yellowhead Mining Inc. (TSX.V: YMI) which is in the process of
preparing a detailed Feasibility Study on the Harper Creek copper-gold-silver
project in south central B.C., potentially one of the largest copper
development projects in Canada.
Mr. Smith is a director of
several public companies, and is President and CEO of Santa Fe Metals
Corp. He was recently President and CEO of bcMetals Corp., which had
engineered the Red Chris copper/gold porphyry project for development in
northwest BC prior to being acquired by Imperial Metals Corp. His
involvement with large scale open pit copper operations at a senior management
level includes Bougainville Copper in Papua New Quinea, La Caridad in Mexico
and the Zambian Copperbelt. Mr. Smith was President and a founding
partner of one of North America's most successful mining industry consulting
companies until it was purchased by Canadian interests in 1995.
Clancy Wendt, VP Exploration
of MAX, states �I have had the opportunity to work with Ian on a number of
projects in the past and am very pleased to have him bring his expertise to
MAX, where the recent discovery of high-grade copper and silver mineralization
during drilling in 2011 at our Majuba Hill project in Nevada serves to confirm
our theory that Majuba Hill is an extensive copper/silver/gold porphyry system
that is highly prospective for the development of a bulk-tonnage open pit
deposit.�
In conjunction with this
appointment MAX has agreed, subject to regulatory approval, to grant incentive
stock options to directors and officers on up to 675,000 common shares at an
exercise price of $0.25 per share for a period of three
years.
On behalf of the
Board of Directors of
MAX Resource Corp.
