Summary of Max Resource Mineral Properties

Mora Gold Property in Colombia

• The undrilled Mora Property encompasses over 40 historic workings, 5 active mines, a series of exposed polymetallic structures over 2,500m by 1,000m, adjacent to Aris Mining's (TSX: ARIS) (NYSE: AIMN) 9.2Moz Marmato Gold Operation (P&P Reserves: 31.3Mt @ 3.2 g/t Au for 3.2Mozs, M&I Resources: 61.5Mt @ 3.0 g/t Au for 6.0Moz ¹) and Collective Mining's (TSX: CNL) (NYSE: CNL) Guayabales Project abuts along 3.7 km north (Apollo Porphyry System), west, south, and vertical east boundaries of the Mora Property (refer to Figure 1 and Table 1).

• Appointment of Mr. Cocunubo as Head Geologist and Mr. Henao Head of Community Relations both acted the same roles for Collective Mining (TSX: CNL) joining Co-Founder of Collective Mining, Dr. Grainger who acts as Technical Advisor.

• The geological team has commenced channel sampling of active underground artisanal mines, depth and advance ranges from 5m to 90m. This important step allows visual identification of the geological characteristics of fresh rock such as lithology, hydrothermal alterations, types of sulfides or mineralization, structures-faults-veins and veinlets. The Company will release exploration results shortly.

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 Guayabales and that the information is not necessarily indicative to the mineralization on the Mora Property.

Sierra Azul Copper-Silver Project in Colombia

• Max's wholly owned Sierra Azul Copper-Silver Project sits along the Colombian portion of the world's largest producing copper belt (Andean belt). Max has an Earn-In Agreement ("EIA") with Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation ("Freeport"), a wholly owned affiliate of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. whereby the fully funded USD $4.8m 2025 exploration program is well underway. Updated exploration results are due shortly.

Florália Property in Brazil

The Florália Iron Ore Property lies within Minas Gerais, Brazil's largest iron ore and steel producing State. The Property has established road access to rail terminal (15 km) linking to steel mills and shipping ports; roads connect to DSO buyers Vale (16 km) and ArcelorMittal (26 km) ensuring efficient logistics and market access. 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 (refer Figure 2).

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.
