Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 11, 2019) - MAX RESOURCE CORP. (TSXV: MXR) (OTC Pink: MXROF) (FSE: M1D1) ("MAX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has executed the final "Novita Project" Asset Purchase Agreement with Noble Metals Limited and its subsidiary Condoto Platinum Limited and received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange for the transaction. The transaction includes:

  • The 100% rights to mineral claims and mineral applications, and more importantly, the "Novita Agreement", an exclusive right of first refusal to the mineral rights and mining rights over 1,050 sq. km held by the Novita Higher Community Council as sole owners of the land and minerals.
  • The Novita Agreement area encompasses or is adjacent to the Company's Choco Precious Metals Project, located 100 km SW of Medellin, Colombia.
  • The Choco Precious Metals Project covers or is adjacent to historic surface production of 1.5Mozs of gold and 1.0Mozs of platinum by Compania Minera del Choco Pacifico between 1906 and 1990. (Source: R.J. Fletcher and Associates (2011) Review of Gold and Platinum Exploration and Production in Choco Province Colombia Part 3. Private Report for Condoto Platinum Ltd).
  • Under the terms of the Novita Agreement, the Novita Higher Community Council is entitled to 12.5% of Net Revenue Return (as defined below) to the Council and 5% of Net Revenue Return to the Committee from any present or future mining production within the Novita Agreement area.
  • Established infrastructure, including a fully operation 30 exploration camp at the town of Novita

Brett Matich, Max's President and CEO, commented: "Mr. Bill Hayden, founder and former director of Noble Metals assembled the Novita Project and he will assist the Company's aggressive exploration programs." Mr. Matich continued: "Gold pundits are forecasting prices to continue to rise as demand continues to strengthen. Max is strategically positioned to take advantage of this rising market through its Colombian gold assets."

The Noble Transaction

This transaction was originally announced in June of 2018, when Max executed a binding agreement with Noble to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Condoto Platinum Limited (and two other subsidiaries of Noble). As a result of extensive due diligence by Max, the transaction evolved from a share purchase to an asset purchase, as reflected in the finalized Asset Purchase Agreement.

The full executed Asset Purchase Agreement calls for the issuance of 26,665,896 common shares in the capital of Max Resource Corp. to Noble Metals Limited and a cash payment of CDN$500,000. At closing, Noble will hold 32.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Max, becoming a new "control person". As a result, Max will require shareholder approval, on a majority of the minority basis. The extraordinary shareholder meeting date is scheduled to be released in the coming days. Noble Metals Limited will also require shareholder approval. In addition, the consent of the Novita Higher Community Council is a condition of closing; Max fully expects this consent to be given.

Net Revenue Return

Net Revenue return is a non-IFRS measure defined in the Novita Agreement to mean: gross proceeds derived from the sale of the mineral (excluding any taxes and after adjustments) less all costs incurred in relation to the production of the mineral (all exploration and pre-production expenditures, reclamation costs, amortized capital costs and all expenses including but not limited to all mining, crushing, treatment, processing, smelting, refining, transporting, marketing, assaying, sampling, handling, storage, sales costs, insurance, rents, marketing and any other related costs.)

About Max Resource Corp.

Max Resource Corp.'s focus is to explore and consolidate gold and platinum group mineral assets in the richly endowed Choco mineral district of Colombia and to explore the Gachala sedimentary copper hosted mineral belt of Colombia.
